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
Lucas smiled secretly. “Second Master told you very clearly last night that if you don’t agree to marry him, he’ll make sure that your daughter dies in pieces. Since your answer is a ’no’, your daughter is about to be turned into pieces of incomplete organs. Would you prefer to get her hand, leg, nose, or her sparkling eyes back?”Sotiria’s throat seemed to be stuffed with an absorbent sponge, and she glared at Lucas in horror and resentment, unable to make a sound.Lucas sighed ostentatiously. “Poor little girl, she’s so clever and smart. I really can’t bear to make a move on her. It’s a pity that her cruel mother doesn’t love her. She knows that Second Master is a man of his words, but she doesn’t want to save her. There is no other way. The little girl can only blame this on herself for finding herself a ruthless and heartless mother when she was reincarnated.”Lucas turned around and was about to leave after saying so.“Where are you going!?” Sotiria, who was overly anxious, fi
However, the idea of her telling Zachary that she would do whatever he wanted her to do as long as he would not hurt Naomi came to Sotiria’s mind, and she took it back in an instant. “I know!”After being tied up all night, Sotiria was feeling sore and weak all over her body now. She supported herself, stood up, and staggered toward the door.As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Zachary came back and opened his thin lips and pearl-white teeth. His voice sounded indifferent. “Wear this dress.”Sotiria took a glance at the knitted garment bag in his hand, and her right hand was immediately grabbed and held by Zachary in the next second...He was as cold as a glacier, but his palm’s temperature was still so warm. Even in such a situation, the moment he grabbed her hand still made her feel like an electric current was running through her body and her heart went out of beat.When she recovered from the trance, Zachary had already turned around and walked away. The clothing bag wa
That tiny woman did not have a standard figure, so all the clothes she wore had to be tailor-made. Zachary did not expect that her clothes would fit Sotiria so well.‘Sotiria does not only have an appearance that is somewhat similar to that little girl, but her voice also sounds almost exactly the same as hers. Now, it seems that both of their figures were carved out of the same mold! Is there such a coincidence in the world?’Lucas was driving while Sotiria and Zachary sat in the middle row. Her heart felt heavy, and she did not utter a single word along the way.Zachary, sitting on her left, also closed his lips tightly while his icy eyes stared out the window. He was lost in his own thoughts.It was not for Sotiria to reach a conclusion that he was definitely thinking about Charlotte now!‘See! This is just the beginning!‘He regards me as the stand-in of another woman. After I get married to him, he’ll only think of another woman whenever he’s with me, just like what he’s doi
The female clerk looked at Zachary and blushed. “Hehe, Mr. Connor, please present your identity cards and—”Before she could finish, Zachary had placed all the documents needed to obtain the marriage certificate on the desk.Sotiria was surprised to find that there were actually three passport-sized photos of her among all those documents. However, she had never given him any photos of herself. That had led her to think that Zachary had planned to go official with her beforehand, so he had prepared her photos in advance.A few minutes later, the female clerk printed out two marriage procedures and handed them to Zachary while saying, “Mr. Connor, according to our country’s Marriage Law, both parties who are here to obtain their marriage certificate must be doing so voluntarily. Therefore, you and your prospective wife must be asked to personally sign the marriage procedures before I can issue a marriage certificate to you.”In the next less than five seconds, Zachary grabbed his pe
The name that Sotiria had signed on the documents turned out to be— Charlotte Simmons!Sotiria did not know what was wrong with her.Her mind had been blank the moment before she started signing. She had been planning to close her eyes as she signed the word and deal with the whole procedure perfunctorily. However, her hand seemed to have its own memory. It had not been under her control, and everything had gone on extremely smoothly—that was how she had written down “Charlotte Simmons” skillfully...“Do you think this joke is hilarious?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a blizzard that hit in the midst of December.“I...” Sotiria lowered her head hurriedly when she saw his freezing glare. Her tongue seemed to have been tied and frozen at the same time.“I didn’t... I didn’t mean to joke with you...”“Then, are you playing with me?” Zachary’s voice escaped from the gap between his lips and teeth, and each syllable and every word sounded as murderous as a blade.Charlotte Simmons!
Tears of joy gushed out of Sotiria’s eyes the moment she called out the name.“You’ve come at the right time. Zachary has kidnapped Naomi and threatened me to marry him. Don’t worry about me, go save Naomi first!”Standing at the gate of the city hall, Garrison looked at her fondly and gently. “Tiria, I have rescued Naomi, so no one can threaten you anymore.”As soon as he had finished speaking, Lorraine, who was wearing a pearl-white dress, appeared on his right side with a cute little kid.Tears streamed down Sotiria’s face the moment she saw the kid. “Naomi!”“Mummy!”Naomi let go of Lorraine’s hand and rushed toward Sotiria.Throwing everything to the wind, Sotiria dropped the pen in her hand on the table and ran quickly toward Naomi.“Mummy!”“Naomi!”There was no expression on Zachary’s face, who was standing outside the counter. However, his dark brown eyes were filled with so much emotion it was as if there was a storm brewing in them. At that moment, he suddenly
