Zachary’s well-defined face was filled with indifference. “Since you know very well that I can’t divorce her now, you should treat that nonsense about me divorcing her and marrying you as if I never said it.”“What?!” Lorraine’s eyes widened, and her originally pretty face was distorted.Zachary did not look at her. He started the car without hesitation and drove past her.As she watched his car drive away in a daze, sorrow and pain scattered hysterically within Lorraine, and she slumped onto the cold ground, tears instantly gushing down her cheeks.In the past, Charlotte would have definitely helped Lorraine up at that moment.However, upon remembering what she had done, Charlotte only took a glance at her without any concern, opened the door, and got ready to get in the car.“Are you leaving already? Just like this?” Lorraine’s haggard voice came from behind her.Charlotte’s hand froze on the door handle. “What’s wrong? Am I obliged to stay behind to comfort your fragile heart
‘It’s bad enough that Charlotte Simmons has turned him into a laughing stock thanks to her affair, but now she even won the bet! This is just a huge slap on his handsome face, yet he actually looks happy! This is bad! Has Charlotte tormented the Second Master into losing his mind?’“Second Master!”Lucas worriedly supported Zachary by his arm. “Humans live a long life. Running into assh*les is inevitable. However, there’s nothing you can do about that. You shouldn’t let your pure, dazzling self be turned upside down just because you’ve run into someone like that. Isn’t that right?”Zachary was as cold and silent as a glacier. “Speak English!”Lucas fiddled with his large earring. “Uh… He he he… I mean… Just be angry when you should be angry. Don’t suffocate yourself.”A peculiar glint flashed across Zachary’s dark, inky eyes.“You may have set your sights on the wrong person, but you shouldn’t blame yourself for it.” Lucas continued consoling him. “That scheming b*tch’s plot was
Lucas’s eyes were filled with sympathy. “What if the results turn out to be just as I’ve described? You’d be disappointed again.”Zachary’s eyes darkened icily. “If that happens, you're going to make Igor Burgov disappear from her world!”Lucas’s heart ached as he watched Zachary walk away. His eyes brimmed with tears.At that moment, Lucas finally realized that Zachary still had feelings for Charlotte…He wasn’t refusing his meals out of his anger for Charlotte, which stemmed from the thought of Charlotte leaving him to be with Igor. Today, Charlotte had refused to divorce him and won a bet against him. That was why he was so happy!‘Poor Second Master! Mrs. Connor’s cheated on him countless times, and he’s still treating her like his first love!’Zachary returned to the living room, looked at a maid, and asked, “Is dinner ready?”The maid was shocked. “Huh? Mr. Connor, it’s only 2.30 p.m. It’s too early for dinner…”She immediately stopped at this point.‘Wait! Mr. Connor ha
“You’re probably going to ask ‘I thought I kicked you out of this house? Why are you back here with the luggage that I sent to you?’ Isn’t that right?”Zachary’s eyes flashed with confusion.Charlotte forced herself to look him in the eye without trembling.“Well, you don’t have to ask. I’ll just explain. Not too long ago, I bested you in a drag race, and you agreed not to demand a divorce over this misunderstanding. Therefore, this villa is still our home, and I should stay here. I’m not leaving, not even if you try to chase me away.”Zachary’s perfect lips curled into an almost indiscernible angle. “Understood.”‘What?’ Charlotte thought that he would angrily question her. She had even prepared a series of explanations, ready for an argument with him! But in the end, he’d actually agreed?Charlotte decided to quit while she was ahead. “Alright then, I won’t disturb you. You’ve been starving for four days. Enjoy your meal.”She quickly headed to the staircase as soon as she s
Zachary stared at the emergency room door as he waited outside. Every second felt like an entire century.More than ten minutes later, he saw the emergency room door being pushed open and immediately sprung to his feet from the bench.“Is she alright?”“Don’t worry, Mr. Connor. Miss Simmons is fine. But…” Dr. McDowell peered timidly at Zachary. “But… we couldn’t save the baby.”Zachary’s gaze filled with a slight warmth.Dr. McDowell continued to explain. “Miss Simmons must have suffered a terrible shock which caused her sudden miscarriage. This is completely normal for pregnant women around two months along. Miss Simmons only collapsed because she fainted from the sight of her blood. However, she isn’t hurt too badly. All she needs is to rest and recuperate for around ten days to half a month and she’ll be back to normal.”Zachary finally relaxed. “Is she awake?”“Mm, Miss Simmons is awake. She will be transferred to a ward soon. You can see her now.”Dr. McDowell felt continu
She couldn’t help but smile.“I don’t care why you did it. I’m still very grateful to you.”“Oh, really?”Zachary’s gaze grew even colder.“You’ve lost the product of your love for your lover. You must be in pain, yet you forced yourself to smile at me. Aren’t you tired?”The smile on Charlotte’s face froze as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head.“If you want to cry, go ahead. I won’t disturb you.”Zachary snorted and started walking as if he was going to leave the ward.Charlotte finally found her voice when Zachary reached the doorway. “Do I look like I’m in pain? I never intended on keeping this baby anyway. I would have scheduled a convenient appointment and gone to the hospital for an abortion even if this accident hadn’t happened. I wasn’t forcing a smile for you. I was really happy when I heard them tell me that you rushed me to the hospital.”Zachary felt as if his legs had turned into lead. He couldn’t continue walking at all.‘D*mn it! I’m pe
However, Dr. McDowell could not say that in front of Zachary.He knew about Zachary’s condition.A year ago, Zachary had to let Lorraine go through in vitro fertilization in order to have a baby with her. Right now, if he wanted to have a child with Charlotte, he surely had to make her have the same surgery.A man with a hidden disease was sensitive, and the last thing he wanted was to poke the bear.Lorraine stood absent-mindedly in the elevator. Her face was full of tear stains, and she looked as haggard as an unfolded, crumpled piece of paper.When Zachary had said that he wanted to divorce Charlotte and marry her, she had been in seventh heaven and had felt like the happiest person in the world. However, her delight had been short-lived. Her dream had been shattered by Charlotte, and she had been pushed from the top of heaven to the deepest part of the abyss. The fall pulverized her.“Miss, you’re going to the eighth floor, right? We’re on the eighth floor. Don't you want to
Seeing that Jebediah had already calmed down, Lorraine slowly got to her feet. Then, in a cold voice, she said, “Zach is cold on the outside. That’s why people call him the devil in disguise. However, he has one of the purest and most regal souls, and he would never bother saying the vile words that you said just now. You look the same as him on the outside, but compared to Zach, you’re just an animal.”Jebediah’s hand trembled greatly, and the wine bottle dropped to the floor.Lorraine’s gaze was filled with disdain as she added, “Did I not tell you earlier that you can play with those starlets under you for all you’re worth? Why don’t you call them like you did before? They will be more than willing to let you stick that dirty stick of yours in them!”As if he was being choked by an invisible hand, Jebediah’s handsome face contorted in pain.Lorraine left him alone and walked to her room indifferently. As he looked at her figure, which was getting further and further away, Jebe
