“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
‘Who promised to kiss him passionately or do so with her back against the wall?!’ Charlotte felt like she was staring doomsday in the face.At the moment, Zachary’s eyes were as gloomy as a black hole, and they looked like they could devour anything.Zenios, who was dazzled by joy, did not even notice the change in Zachary’s expression at all and continued to speak with a grin. “Second Uncle, stop ruining my day already. You don’t even have to take what you left in my house with you. I’ll deliver it to you personally some other day. My fiancée and I are so in love right now that... You should know what comes next…“He winked at Zachary, dragged him along, and walked him to the door.No matter how hard Zenios tried to haul Zachary, he just would not budge. He looked as if he had been nailed to the ground. Cold syllables then escaped his mouth from between his teeth and lips.“So, didn’t she tell you that she’s already married?”“What!” Zenios did not understand why Zachary had bee
Zachary finally released Charlotte after at least a minute. Charlotte felt as if she had been woken up from a dream.Zachary’s kiss had been really forceful. She stared at Zachary in shock. “I don’t understand… Why? Zachary, what is the meaning of…”Zachary silenced her with another kiss.He was a cold and lofty man, yet his kiss was like a blazing wildfire threatening to burn Charlotte into ashes. She lost and surrendered to him once again!Zenios stood in place, lost in a daze. However, he felt as if a large, empty hole had appeared in his heart, as if he were standing at the brink of an abyss.He was acting like an idiot, quietly watching the woman he loved making out with another man one step away from him! It took him a while before he could catch his breath. He had endured for three years. Three years of watching her relationship with Bryson and seeing them being affectionate with one another. Once he had discovered that the child she had given birth to was his, he had
‘Charlotte is his wife. It wouldn’t be out of line if he did anything extreme to her, let alone if he kissed her…’“You’d never have been convinced if I hadn’t done it.” Zachary’s lips were now a shade of blood-red thanks to his impassioned encounter with Charlotte. It looked as if he was wearing lipstick, yet it did not make him look feminine. In fact, it gave him a naturally flirtatious air that was profoundly affecting.He gently patted Zenios’ shoulders.“Some people are not meant to be with you. It’s not that you didn’t work hard enough—fate has determined that she is not meant for you. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Let go and our lives will be better for it.”Zenios stared at Charlotte in a daze, his blue eyes a mixture of love and disappointment.Charlotte stared at Zachary, her thoughts a mystery.Zachary couldn’t be bothered to look at Charlotte anymore. He quietly walked toward the door and kept his gaze ahead as he said, “If you plan on coming home, follow me.”In ot
