Zachary turned his cold, frosty gaze to Lucas.“Start the car!”“Oh.” Despite feeling bad for Lorraine, Lucas obediently started the car.The luxurious customized Rolls-Royce drove off. Lorraine was forced to release her grip on the car door, staying behind alone. She stood in the midst of the sharp-smelling car exhaust with a pale look on her face.She felt a wave of cold wind. Her graceful figure wavered, and her legs buckled. She landed on the ice-cold tar road with a thump.“Ah! Isn’t that Miss Lorraine?”“Pfft! Miss Larson is the hottest female celebrity at the moment. She’s really regal. Why would she ever appear on the street so casually? Are you dreaming?”“I’m beginning to wonder if I’m dreaming too. But look!”The other person rubbed her eyes. “Oh my god, it really is her! She’s my idol. What is she doing? Why is she kneeling on the ground? Who hurt her? Come on, let’s help her!”Two young girls in school uniforms rushed toward Lorraine, who was not too far away.Ho
“No! Jebediah, you don’t understand!” Lorraine’s head shook like a maraca. “Zachary told me personally that he proposed to Sotiria and he’s always been a man of his word. What’s more, he’s always hated my brother, so he’ll definitely manage to snatch Sotiria before my brother and Sotiria get married. He’ll definitely succeed!”Jebediah was speechless for a while.‘Yes! I know Zachary. He’s a loose cannon that has always gone his own way and has never cared about other people’s opinions. If Zachary truly recognizes Sotiria, he won’t care how filthy Sotiria’s past is or what others have to say about it and will insist on marrying her—‘A great example is the fact that Zachary got together with Charlotte Simmons despite everyone’s opposition back then.’“Jebediah, you finally believe what I said. The only person I can count on is you, so you must help me!” Lorraine’s small hands, which were grasping Jebediah’s arms tightly, trembled vigorously.Jebediah could no longer bear to disobe
Lorraine had thought about giving up on Zachary and loving Jebediah instead.She had tried her best to do so. However, the more she tried, the more she found that she could not love Jebediah. Her love for Zachary grew deeper and deeper the more she tried to love Jebediah!However, she owed a lot to Jebediah. What’s more, Jebediah had too much on her. Thus, the only way she could repay Jebediah was by paying him with her own body...“Mmmm... No!” Lorraine seemed like she had been electrocuted instantly when she felt a strange sensation approach the corner of her lip. She mustered a large amount of strength out of nowhere and pushed Jebediah’s head to the side immediately.“We’ve agreed that you will not go anywhere near my mouth, so don’t push your luck!”“Heh.” Jebediah’s thin lips curled upward and formed a flirtatious arc. “Lory, I was just messing with you. Why so serious?”Lorraine wanted to say something, but a heavy feeling crushed her all of a sudden, and her whole body tr
“So this is why you needed me to come over.” As he thought about the fact that he and Sotiria had gotten engaged and he would walk down the aisle with her hand in his, Garrison's charming face looked gentle and cheerful.“We’ll get married in six days on Valentine’s Day, which means that every Valentine’s Day in the future will not only be an ordinary Valentine’s Day for us but also our wedding anniversary.”“Yeah, that’s great.” Sotiria walked into her house and closed the door. “But... I think that… that...”So many thoughts were intertwined in her mind that she did not know where to start.Garrison grabbed her hand gently and held it carefully in his palm. “Tiria, you should know how I feel about you. You’ve always been my favorite girl. Although you only agreed to marry me a few days ago, I’ve loved you and regarded you as my wife for the past four years, so there’s no need for you to speak so carefully when you have something you need to tell me.”‘Okay!’ Sotiria took a deep
Carlie, the unattainable woman that he loved to the bone!He had been looking forward to the day when he would marry her and stay with her forever and had been waiting for her on the Rainbow Bridge for ten years... His wish had finally come true. However, she would surely leave him once he told her the truth...More importantly, the doctor had told him that if he were to stimulate her with past events before her memory was actively restored, it would likely trigger an overreaction and lead to cerebral palsy for the rest of her life.‘I mustn’t tell her the truth before her memory recovers!’Garrison could only pull her into his arms and pat her trembling back lightly with his right hand. “Tiria, the past is already behind us. All you need to remember is that I don’t care about your past. You’re my only treasure no matter what’s happened or what will happen in the future, and that’s enough.”“Yeah.” Sotiria was so touched that tears started gushing down her cheeks. “So, what I want
Upon seeing Garrison walk out of Sotiria’s house, Jordan, who had been standing at the elevator entrance waiting for Garrison, greeted him and said respectfully, “Mr. Larson, I heard part of the conversation between you and Ms. Simmons. I think you’d be digging your own grave if you continued to go down this path.”Garrison’s eyes turned cold immediately. “What did you just say?!”“Um… I’m sorry, Mr. Larson. It might sound too much for me to talk to you like this.” Jordan lowered her head, her cheeks flushing as if they were on fire. “But I’m saying this because I’ve been thinking about your well-being completely from your perspective. I’ve been working for you for six years. I can see and feel how deep your love for Ms. Simmons is, so I fully understand your impatience when it comes to marrying her. However, have you ever thought that Ms. Simmons’s memory will recover sooner or later? When she realizes that you two are already married and have slept together as husband and wife afte
“What is it?” Zachary’s magnetic and enticing voice quietly rang out.Lucas touched his extremely large earring out of habit.“He he… Well, here’s the thing. You asked me to keep an eye on Sotiria and Garrison’s every move, and I just received some very important news—Garrison’s begun contacting his relatives and friends. His wedding to Sotiria will be brought forward to the day after tomorrow.”“Oh?”Zachary’s eyes, which resembled a starry night sky, flashed with a peculiar light.“That means I’ve succeeded.”“Huh?” Lucas looked confused. “I don’t understand, sir. Sotiria and Garrison are bringing their wedding date forward. Doesn’t that mean that she wants to sever ties with you as soon as possible? Shouldn’t you say that you’ve lost?”“Page 133 of the Book of Love. The more your intended hastens to cut ties with you, the more it proves her heart is in disarray because of you,” Zachary, whose face was as cold as a glacier, replied.“Well… Okay!”Lucas admired Zachary’s lear
Zachary squinted his eyes. He gently raised the corners of his lips. “You’re my wife. My wife’s house is my house too. How is returning to one’s home considered trespassing?”Sotiria was stunned at first. Then, she wasn’t sure if she should laugh or cry.“That’s enough, Mr. Connor. I never agreed to marry you, and I’m not your wife. I’m going to give you one minute to leave my home, or I’ll call the police.”Sotiria’s chest was rising and falling from rage.Naomi pouted her little lips as well and shot Zachary a fierce glare. “You big meanie! Did you hear what my mommy said? What are you still doing on the couch? Aren’t you leaving?”Only then did Zachary put down his teacup and calmly raise his right hand. He swept his gaze across the white onyx wristwatch. “Are you that anxious to come home with me?”The corners of Sotiria’s lips twitched.“What on earth are you talking about? Are you drunk?”Tall and regal Zachary replied, “I’m very sober now, and I can also guarantee that o
