“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
“But first, I have a condition—I will only answer three questions.”Sotiria glared at him anxiously. “Where’s Naomi? Is she okay?”“She’s in my house. She’s doing very well,” Zachary replied expressionlessly.Sotiria finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Why have you kidnapped us?”Zachary raised his dark, shapely brows. “To force you to marry me.”“What?”Sotiria felt as if a large hole had been carved into her heart. Countless feelings of confusion and resentment began spilling out. “Zachary, it’s useless for you to do this. You’re a smart man. You know love and marriage can’t be forced or bought. Why are you still doing this? Just why are you doing this?”A hint of relish appeared at the corners of Zachary’s perfect lips. “Sorry, you’re only allowed three questions. I’ve answered them all, so I won’t be answering the rest.”He quietly turned around as soon as he said this and walked out the door.“Stop right there!”Sotiria wanted to charge over at him and grab him. Unfort
Zachary’s usually icy, crystalline eyes were filled with confidence.“Yes, it will.”“Alright! I trust your judgment, sir. But you actually threatened to chop Naomi to pieces… Hehe…” Lucas sneakily glanced at Zachary. “Sir, if Sotiria gives everything up and abandons her child just to fulfill her love for Garrison, would you really do that to the little girl? Also, you said you’d chop her to pieces. Wouldn’t your heart ache?”A hint of warmth flashed in Zachary’s icy pupils when he thought of the miniaturized version of Charlotte’s face. “This is none of your business.”Lucas stroked his golden, bird nest-shaped head. “Sigh! Fine then! I’m going home then!”He turned around to leave.“You’re not allowed to go home tonight.” Zachary’s voice rang aloud behind him all of a sudden.Lucas immediately froze in place, like an ice sculpture. “Sir, you know I promised my girlfriend a candlelight dinner tonight. She’s already washed up and waiting for me at the hotel—”“Call her and tell
Now, Zachary had finally met someone who resembled Charlotte, someone who could bring a reaction in him. Lucas once happily thought that, once Zachary and Sotiria got married, he wouldn’t have to be lonely anymore, just like he was four years ago…However, only now did Lucas understand that Zachary never intended to touch Sotiria!Even if he forced Sotiria into marrying him, it was because from now on, every time he saw her, he would be reminded of Charlotte more than ever…Thus, marrying Sotiria would not only prevent him from letting go of his pain from losing Charlotte, but it would also cause him to hold onto Charlotte even more than ever. He’d never be able to give her up!…Zachary arrived on the third floor.The large living room on the third floor was decorated like an event venue. That year, he had intended on having his wedding ceremony with Charlotte here, then keep their wedding venue just the way it was on the day of their wedding forever, as a long-lasting keepsake
