Charlotte could not help but feel disappointed.Zachary then added, “If a person treats their enemy like any other ordinary person, it doesn’t mean that they’re a noble person. It just shows that they’re hypocritical. On the contrary, if a person treats their enemy badly, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re dishonorable. They might just be a good person that can tell whom or what to hate or love.”‘What?! Is he complimenting me? Is he saying I’m a person with a clear idea of what I hate or love?’ Charlotte suddenly felt warm deep down.“I hit Bryson,” Zachary said coldly.“Yeah,” Charlotte responded immediately out of reflex. At the same time, she looked up at his magnificent face for an instant, trying to guess his intention based on his expression.Then, Charlotte realized that it was incredibly stupid for her to do so because Zachary had no expression on that paralyzed face of his!Besides, he was leaning backward, driving the car with a stiff and straight posture, just l
When he heard Bryson’s name, Zachary’s dark brows creased slightly. “I do consider him an acquaintance. Why are you asking?”Charlotte could not help but feel an upsurge deep down. “So, did you attend his wedding ten months ago? Where were you on our wedding night?”“He’s nowhere near qualified enough to invite me to his wedding...” Zachary’s eyes dimmed. The reason he remembered the date and day when Charlotte and Bryson had gotten married was because he had been drugged on that exact day.“I was at a hotel that night.”Charlotte’s crimson lips opened, but she could not say a word. No one should have high hopes for unrealistic matters, or the truth would only disappoint them more.She might have felt a lot better deep down if the stranger from that night had turned out to be Zachary...However, this was only wishful thinking, and it had come to naught.After all this disappointment, Charlotte was about to go back to her bedroom.“Go and get me a doctor.” Zachary’s cold, faint
Charlotte’s gaze was once again attracted by him.“Were you looking for me?” A cold, melodious baritone escaped from Zachary’s thin lips.Charlotte hurriedly moved her gaze away with a guilty conscience. “He he… It’s nothing. I can see that your complexion looks much better than last night. Have you recovered from your jealousy?”She regretted it right after saying this and wanted to find a rag and shove it in her mouth. It was also because she was nervous when Zachary was glancing at her. So nervous that she started speaking immediately without even thinking about what she was saying.Zachary frowned slightly and answered in his usual lackadaisical voice, “Yeah, I’ve recovered.”Charlotte was surprised and thankful that Zachary had not lost his head. She breathed a sigh of relief in secret.“Actually, I was looking for you. Do you remember that you confined me in the mansion before you went to Country M? Even if yesterday was excluded, you’ve locked me up for 26 days straight. C
“What else did he say?” Charlotte’s voice was trembling evidently.“The second master didn’t seem to be in a good mood last night, so he didn’t say much.” Lucas’ eyes lit up. “Huh! Speaking of the second master’s bad mood, that fella Daniel Stewart called me last night and told me that the second master was so jealous that he thought he had fallen sick, so let’s keep this between just the two of us. How did you make the second master jealous?”“Me?” The corners of Charlotte’s lips could not stop twitching. “Luke, stop making fun of me. I’m not as capable as you think.”Zachary!He was still the same Zachary who despised her.He had married her and brought her home just as an addition to his already perfect life. What had happened last night was nothing more than an accident!After all, she and Zachary were still two strangers who were called husband and wife for appearances. Why would he be jealous of her?“Oh, oh, it turns out that you don’t know about that. The second master i
Even though Zachary did not have feelings for her, she would still do everything she could and be his wife wholeheartedly.She would abide strictly by the prenuptial agreements by keeping her distance from Zachary and not overstepping his boundaries...Outside the airport...As he was standing in front of his black luxurious car, Zachary’s well-built figure and perfect appearance attracted all the women’s gazes and made all men feel envious and jealous at the same time. If it were not for his domineering and intimidating aura, many women would have walked up to him to strike up a conversation.“Second Uncle!” When Zenios Connor, who was walking out of the airport, saw Zachary, he dropped his suitcase, ran toward him, and gave him a big hug.“Second Uncle, your time is precious, yet still you drove all the way here to pick me up personally. You do love me the most. You might even love me more than my parents do.”If it had not been for Zachary’s disgusted expression, Zenios might have k
“Stop that. Your husband has prepared a big surprise for you. Come and meet me at our house.” He was afraid that his big surprise would not be enough to pique Charlotte’s curiosity, so he added, “You’ll regret it until the day you step into your grave if you miss it. So, to come or not to come, that’s the question.”He hung up after saying that.Charlotte could imagine Zenios’ captivating face and enchanting blue eyes daring her to go over to his place.‘Didn’t that fella go to Solaris to pursue his dream as an actor? Why did he come back to Rothesay all of a sudden?’Lucas’ eyes were staring at Charlotte. He had heard the person on the phone with Charlotte claiming to be her husband.‘Does Ms. Simmons have another husband? What would happen if the second master knew this?’Zenios owned lots of property in Rothesay, but he absolutely loved the seaside villa located by the Blue Water Bay area the most. He had often invited Charlotte there as a guest in the past and had always joke
Zenios’ eyes were filled with tears of joy while he was holding Charlotte’s hand tightly.Charlotte’s mind was struck by thunder, and her whole body seemed to have turned into a statue.Meanwhile, Zachary had just left the Blue Water Bay area in his car.Zenios had said that he wanted to propose to the woman he loved, so he had taken Zenios home, helped him arrange all the roses in the house, and left.Although Zachary did not have a positive impression of the woman who had given birth to Zenios’ child while she was still married to her husband, since Zenios, as detached as he always had been, had developed a soft spot for her, that meant that she had to possess some unique virtues. What’s more, that woman had divorced her ex-husband, so as long as Zenios truly loved her, Zachary would not say no to the marriage.There were only three people who truly cared about Zachary in this world, and Zenios was one of them, so he sincerely hoped that Zenios would be happy.At that moment, L
After listening to what Zenios had explained in his trembling voice, Charlotte was in a trance, and her mind went blank.‘Zenios! Ten months ago! That man!’Even today, she would still dream about what had happened that night, scream, and wake up in the middle of the night drenched in cold sweat.That terrifying man had turned out to be Zenios, who had been caring for her like her own younger brother for the past three years?!The Zenios that she’d slept with that night had been completely different from the Zenios that she knew! His attitude that night had been as cold as the devil’s attitude, and what she had experienced had made her feel like it was Zachary.However, Zenios had been drunk that night...“Carlie, my goddess, you’re my life. I’ve been waiting for this day to come in my dreams, and my dreams have come true!” Zenios stood up and hugged Charlotte excitedly.“I love you. I swear, I’ll be a good husband to you and a great father to our child. I’ll stay by your side forever
