Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat, and her body became as stiff as a rubber band that had been stretched to its limit.She knew that Zachary was a man of his words.Since Zachary had promised to fulfill all of Miranda’s birthday wishes, he would definitely keep his promise. Hence, Zachary would surely comply with Miranda.‘No! I would never allow such a thing to happen!’ Charlotte decided that once Zachary agreed to comply with the request, she would bravely stand up and stop him at the risk of offending him! ‘I’m Zachary’s legal wife! I will never allow my husband to kiss any woman other than myself!’Therefore, she stared at Zachary, holding her breath...“Mimi, although I know you did this for my sake, my relationship with Zachary isn’t exactly the same as it was in the past, so don’t—”“Lory, don’t say anything anymore. This is between my brother and me, and it has nothing to do with you.” Miranda interrupted Lorraine, slightly raised her delicate face, and looked at her breat
Knowing that Zachary was a man who would not take back his own words, Miranda immediately changed her wish. “Okay, then I’ll change my wish. I’ve grown bored of the Bugatti that you gave me last year. I want the latest version of the gold Lamborghini.”Zachary responded with a glacial expression. “I’m afraid that your wish will only come true in the coming year.”Miranda was a little flustered. “Why?”The syllables that escaped Zachary’s thin lips sounded unconcerned. “Because I only promised you that you’d only get one chance at naming your birthday wish each year, and you’ve already made yours this year.”“Zach! How can you do this to me!?” Miranda, who went for wool but came back shorn, was so furious that she was trembling with anger. However, she knew better than anyone that she could not change Zachary’s mind no matter how hard she tried once he had decided on something. She could only stomp her feet unwillingly.“Hmph! If you’re not going to give me anything, then we’ll jus
This was supposed to be his moment!The man who Charlotte fawned over was supposed to be him!Lorraine, who was sitting in front of her, begrudgingly stuffed a mouthful of cream into her mouth.Roughly a month ago, Zachary had become the laughingstock of the city.Everyone was laughing at him because he was the infamous “No.1 demon in Rothesay”, yet he was not only henpecked by his wife at home, but he was also extremely possessive. Any man who got close to his wife would cause him to be jealous. They reckoned that if his wife picked up a male cat or a male dog, he would get jealous as long as it was the opposite sex.In the past, Lorraine had always thought those rumors were fake, but it seemed like she was wrong.She finally saw it with her own eyes today.Zachary!How could this cold and taciturn man become like this?She remembered clearly that when she had been with him, he wouldn’t care when she got too close to other people of the opposite sex. Once, when Zachary, Jebed
Charlotte looked toward the source of the sound, and at the end of her vision stood Zachary’s limited edition Rolls-Royce right in front of her. Her attention had been on the costume in Zenios’s hand, so she had not noticed when Zachary had appeared.At that moment, Zenios felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his blood ran cold. He had been wanting to give the costume to Charlotte the moment he saw her. It was just that Zachary had been keeping his eyes on him, so he dared not to do anything.Therefore, he had been waiting in the wings for the moment Charlotte was alone. Unfortunately, Zachary returned and upset his plan before he could give the costume to Charlotte.“Carlie, I suddenly remembered that I have to go home to see my parents. I’ll leave first. As for this costume, let me know later—”“Didn’t I tell you to give the costume to your Second Aunt?” Zachary’s melodic voice rang out once again.Zenios was frozen in place as if he had been under an immobilizing curs
“Argh!”She screamed out of fear.However, when she raised her head and realized that the person who patted her shoulder was none other than Zachary, a grin instantly blossomed on the corner of her lips as she said, “Erm, I like this costume very much. Thank you for your understanding and letting me have it.”Zachary narrowed his eyes. His gaze was deep, filled with a myriad of emotions, and there was a strange light glowing at the depth of his eyes. “Since you like it so much, why don’t you put it on now?”Huh!?Charlotte was stunned.‘Put it on now? How?’As if he could read her mind, Zachary pointed toward the hall in the main building, “Mom has prepared a room for you. It’s on the west side of the room where we threw the birthday party for Mimi. You can go in there and change your clothes.”Charlotte could not hold back her excitement after hearing what Zachary had said. She did not even bother to say thank you to Zachary and trotted toward the bedroom.A subtle devilish
Charlotte panicked. “Zachary, you—”In merely ten seconds, the costume that made Charlotte’s heart skip a beat and she cherished a lot became shreds of cloth.What frightened her the most was that after Zachary tore the costume into pieces, he rolled the window down and threw the shredded costume out of the car.It was only at this moment that she understood.Zachary’s generosity was nothing but a pretense.He did not want her to take the costume at all!He hated the costume to the core. He pretended to let her take it and let her wear it with only one purpose in mind...He wanted to destroy the costume in front of Zenios.Zenios was standing in front of the window, and his mesmerizing blue eyes had never been so dull and spiritless before.Watching at the strands of clothes that got thrown out of the car and landed around his legs, Zenios felt as if his heart had been mercilessly torn apart by Zachary.“Why are you still here, Zenios? Why are you standing in front of my brot
Zachary looked at her indifferently. “Lory, this is nothing personal.” Lorraine was stunned.However, before she could make eye contact with Zachary, he had already turned his head to Zenios. Lifting his brows, he said, “Zenios, I have to thank you.”“Second Uncle, why are you thanking me?” Zenios asked, his smile fake.A hint of evil glint crossed Zachary’s eyes as he said, “The costume you gave my wife, I have to say, it’s very enjoyable.”Zenios’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat, and he just wanted to bury himself in a hole. Suddenly, Zachary put his hand on his shoulder.“If you come across a costume like this in the future, remember to buy one for her. She and I both enjoyed it very much.”Zenios’s tall body swayed, and it took him a great deal of effort to force the voice out of his lips. “Ha, ha!”Crack!Zachary opened the door and went into the driver’s seat. Then, he started the engine, and the car whizzed past Lorraine by a hair width.Lorraine closed her eye
Zachary gently opened his light brown lips but did not say another word.A few minutes later, Zachary stopped the car at the side of the road. He pushed the door open before Charlotte could ask him what he was doing and got out of the car.Zachary held two clothing store bags in his hand when he returned.“Put these on.”Charlotte realized, to her surprise, that the clothes Zachary had bought for her were powder puff pink in color—a shade she greatly disliked.‘Fine! I’ve heard that most men believe that a woman’s favorite colors are red and pink. They think that red and pink are the best colors to showcase a woman’s gentle characteristics… Looks like Zachary is no different!’However, regardless of how much Charlotte did not like the color, it was better than wearing nothing at all. She quickly put on the clothes.“Mm.” Zachary nodded, very pleased. “This color suits you.”The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. It took a lot of strength for her to finally say the words, “Th
