Sotiria glanced hurtfully at the passersby who had stopped to join in the fun.“Congratulations, you’ve succeeded. Now, everyone in Rothesay knows that I’m a shallow snake. I can’t show my face in public anymore!”At that moment, Zachary caught the hurt in her eyes and felt her hands trembling violently. He felt as if a sharp object had pierced his heart, hurting him for some strange reason…His eyes immediately turned cold.He stared at the people around them with a deadpan look on his face. His thin lips then said in a cold, sharp tone, “What? Haven’t you seen an argument before?”The people who had been jeering at Sotiria were immediately silenced.Then, the group scattered as if they had come face to face with the devil.Even other passersby were frightened by Zachary’s aura. They deliberately took the long way around, too afraid to get very close to him. In the blink of an eye, Zachary and Sotiria were the only ones left in front of the door to Lottie’s Atelier. Sotiria
“Remember what you just said, Sotiria. Because the next time we meet, you’ll realize how laughable your words truly were.” Zachary’s voice rang out behind her.Sotiria raised her brow.“I’ve made myself perfectly clear. You and I will never see each other again.”She opened the car door, bent down, and slid into her vehicle. Then, she quickly started the car and drove past Zachary.‘Goodbye, Zachary! Goodbye, Rothesay! I’m going to leave this city, the city that’s caused me so much pain.’However, that did not mean that she was going to let go of her hatred.She wasn’t going to let Virginia get away with what she had done.She was going to keep a tight hold on Virginia. She was going to make Virginia, that snake who wore the face of her mother yet still dreamed of hurting her, pay for her deeds.Thump!The door of a white Ferrari by the side of the road was kicked open. Lucas cried out in panic before he even got out of the vehicle. “Sir, how could you let her leave like that?
Then, the door was pushed open again, and Zachary walked in…At this point, Zachary, who never showed any emotion, actually had a hint of warmth in his dark, inky eyes. “Sir, I’m sure you must be very aware that you’ve misunderstood Sotiria after seeing this footage. I even called Zenios and asked for confirmation. Sotiria and Zenios did not know each other before yesterday. He unwittingly saved Sotiria and brought her home. Their relationship isn’t what you think. Furthermore, I investigated, and the only man who’s ever been close to Sotiria over the past four years was Garrison. Even so, she always kept her distance from him. Sir, if you set Sotiria’s past aside, she really became a pure, good girl who treasured herself after she lost her memories.”Lucas’s voice echoed continuously in Zachary’s ears.At that moment, a small crack formed on Zachary’s perfect, glacier-like face.He would never lie to himself.Even though he’d made a big mistake because Sotiria had initiated sex
Naomi had just woken up when Sotiria arrived home. Garrison was on the couch, reading a children’s comic book with her.Garrison held the comic book in his hand as Naomi sat in his arms. The pair talked and laughed—the scene was warm and moving.“Mommy!”Naomi leaped off the couch when she saw Sotiria and threw herself into Sotiria’s arms.“Daddy said that you went off to see Mr. Meanie. Mr. Meanie bullied you at the wedding. Why’d you go and see him? Did he bully you again?”Sotiria gently rubbed Naomi’s little head.“Don’t worry, baby. I just went to tell Mr. Meanie off. I scolded him and hit him. He’ll never bully mommy again.”“Ah! I see! So that’s what happened.” Naomi blinked her crystalline eyes curiously. “Did you hit him badly? Did you kick his butt?”“Uh… Sure…” Sotiria couldn’t continue lying, so she quickly changed the topic. “Naomi, you said that Mr. Meanie bullied me during the wedding. What makes you think he bullied me?”“Hmph!”Naomi pouted her lips.“I saw
“Tiria, you said that you wanted to wait for our wedding night, then you’d give yourself to me. I’ve waited for this day for a very long time. At last, you’re officially my wife, and we’re going to consummate our relationship as husband and wife tonight, okay?”Sotiria’s lips trembled. She knew that Garrison really loved her, and he was a healthy, hotblooded man. In the past four years of their relationship, Garrison had asked to share a bed with him. However, she would decisively refuse every time.She had told Garrison that she would only take that step with him after they were married.Garrison!He treated her best of all in this world. He had suffered too much grief because of her. Tonight, she couldn’t let him suffer any more grief, no matter what!As his wife, she had to do her duty and give him children!“This is our first time. I hope it’ll be the most beautiful memory for us. Tiria, where would you like to do it? Here? Or on the bed?”Garrison was extremely excited. H
“Tiria… I can’t!”The outstandingly handsome Garrison stared apologetically at Sotiria. His forehead was drenched in sweat.“I was doing just fine. I even had a check-up at the hospital. I was completely capable of having kids with you, but… But… I don’t know what happened. Nothing’s reacting down there.”‘Well…’Sotiria was shocked at first. Then, she snorted.“Hahaha… I see. Don’t worry, I believe you. I won’t laugh at you.”“SIgh!” Garrison anxiously smacked his forehead.“I must’ve been too excited after you’ve agreed to give yourself to me. I also had a lot to drink today, and it’s my first time doing this with a woman. I was too nervous…”“Okay! Okay!”Sotiria patted Garrison on the shoulder consolingly. She grinned and said, “I know, you must be exhausted today. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened. We agreed before getting married. I’m used to sleeping alone, and you agreed that we’d sleep in separate rooms after our marriage. Go back to your room and get some rest!”
Jordan’s eyes met with Sotiria’s. She blushed.“Uh… May I ask you a personal question?”“Mm.” Sotiria nodded.Jordan rubbed her black-rimmed glasses. “Usually, a newly-wed couple would consummate their marriage on their wedding night. So, did you and Mr. Larson do it?”Sotiria’s face immediately looked inflamed. She opened her lips awkwardly, “No…”“Why?” Jordan, who was feeling slightly embarrassed moments ago, was now bursting with curiosity. Her eyes lit up, and she spoke two times faster than usual. “I know that Mr. Larson has always wanted to do it with you. He’s been waiting eagerly for your wedding night. He should have been very eager last night. Did you refuse him? Were you traumatized by whatever happened between you and Mr. Connor last night? Is your body subconsciously rejecting other men because you just had sex with Mr. Connor?”‘My God!’Sotiria, whose face was initially bright red, instantly turned purple. “Get out!”“Huh?” Jordan looked aggrieved. “Tiria, I t
“Zachary… Connor…”Sotiria breathed the name in a trembling voice.The man nodded, feeling pleased. “Since you’re aware, Mrs. Larson, please don’t make things any more difficult for us. Please, let us maintain niceties and go home.”Sotiria looked at Garrison helplessly.Garrison was enraged. However, when he looked around him, he realized that there were a few men in sunglasses staring fixedly at him. They were men sent by Zachary to stop him and Sotiria from boarding their plane. If he forced his way through and fought with those men, it would be more than just a fruitless endeavor. He might even be detained for starting a fight in public.He had no choice but to grab Sotiria’s hand and snap angrily. “Tiria, we have plenty of ways to leave Rothesay, regardless of Zachary’s great abilities. He could stop us from taking a plane, but he can’t possibly restrict our freedom. We’ll drive to Bay City.”Sotiria rolled her eyes at the man who stopped her.“Hmph! Please send a message t
