Sotiria suddenly felt an urge to ignore everything and act on impulse like Zachary. She wanted to break through the shackles of the world and tell him, loud and clear, that she liked him too. She wanted to tell him how happy his confession had made her, how moved she was…However, she couldn’t!She was now Garrison’s wife!Even though she never had any romantic feelings for Garrison, the latter had done a lot for her. If she hadn’t married Garrison, perhaps she would agree to Zachary’s proposal. But now, she couldn’t let him down just to make herself happy.“Zachary…”She murmured his name in a trembling voice as she took a step back at the same time and broke away from his embrace.She didn’t know how to face him, but she still tried her best to raise her head and look him in the eye.“I acknowledge your good intentions, but I’m sorry. I’ve sworn to be a good wife to him for the rest of my life. I cannot divorce him. Perhaps we could be together in another life.”Once she had
At Purple Jade Mansion...When the security guard saw the cab driving over, he knew that the passenger in the cab who was here to see the Green family wasn’t a rich person. Thus, he haughtily walked forward.“Who’s that in there? Get down and let me have a look.”Clack!The car door opened, and Sotiria got out of the car. The security guard immediately shrunk his neck from shock. “You again… What are you doing here?”Sotiria raised her lips arrogantly. “What? Have you forgotten how I kicked your little brother the last time? Are you going to stand in my way again?”The security guard stumbled backward in fright. His ugly face looked bitter as he said, “Sigh, your kick was certainly amazing, my dear. I wouldn’t dare stand in your way again. You get what you want. From now on, you can go in and out of the Green residence whenever you please. I won’t stand in your way again, even if your father fires me.”He then ran into the security room as soon as he said that.Sotiria chuckl
At that moment, the “kindly” facade in Virginia’s eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye.‘Sotiria! So, this little girl wants to challenge me? You’re still a greenhorn!’Sotiria had anticipated that Virginia would speak to Harvey as the villain who would file a suit first. She never hoped for Harvey to believe her, so she smiled nonchalantly, then spoke in a chilly, cold voice. “Don’t misunderstand me, Harvey. I’ve known that you’ve become senile long ago. You’re incapable of seeing the truth.”“You…”Harvey felt as if he could get a stroke from anger at any moment.Sotiria stared at him compliantly. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of chilliness and disdain. “You heard Virginia, she killed my mother. Remember this, one day, I’m going to expose her. You have a weak heart. I’m showing you this to provide you with some mental preparation. I don’t want you to die from a heart attack after finding out the truth and realizing that your beloved wife is a snake.”“You… You… You
“AAHH!”Sotiria let out a scream.However, she felt no pain on her head. Apparently, the man simply cut off a lock of her hair and released her, holding that lock of hair as he turned around and ran out the corridor.Sotiria saw the deranged, foolish look on the man’s face and thought that he was crazy. Thus, she didn’t pursue him. She straightened out her hair and walked toward the elevator.Meanwhile, a blue Lamborghini was parked not too far away, with Jebediah and Lorraine sitting inside.The man ran to the car and gave the lock of Sotiria’s hair he had cut off to Jebediah.“Mr. Valentine, you know very well that I’m an assassin. I’m either hired to kill my target or cripple them. I don’t understand. You’re paying me double for my assassination fee just to get a lock of hair from my target?”Jebediah calmly stared at the dark hair in his hands. His eyes were terrifyingly grim. “I paid you extra to keep your mouth shut. Remember, you’re not allowed to tell anyone else about
“Garrison, what is going on in your mind? Zachary asked me to watch a movie with him. What else do you think he could possibly do to me?”Garrison held Sotiria’s hands and was clearly trembling. “Tiria, it’s hard for me to say these kinds of things, and I don’t want to make it too clear, but… But… Sigh, you’ve been all alone together for so long… I just wanted to know if you and Zachary did the kinds of things you did on our wedding day.”Sotiria’s eyes nearly rolled to the back of her head. She nearly blacked out.“Pfft…”Jordan lost control and burst into laughter. She hurriedly covered her lips with her right hand and swallowed her laughter, then rubbed Naomi’s little head.“Naomi, why don’t you play on your own? I’m feeling a little unwell. I need to go to the toilet.”Naomie blinked her large, crystalline eyes.“Mm.” Then, she turned her curious eyes toward Sotiria and Garrison.Seeing that Sotiria refused to answer, Garrison panicked even more.“Tiria, why aren’t you a
Sotiria was so moved that she burst into tears.‘Garrison! He’s a wonderful, peerless man and an incomparably wonderful husband. Marrying him is like a blessing from God. Even if I can never develop the same kind of sensational emotions that I have for Zachary for him, I am grateful for what I have. I’ll never have anything to do with Zachary again!’The green willows were fluttering along with the gentle wind, the rain was falling softly, and the flowers were blooming. The sun shone high in the sky, and the air was filled with fluff catkins. Sotiria decided to take Naomi to the botanical garden near her house for a stroll.It was a Sunday. The botanical gardens were crowded with people.Sotiria was currently admiring the peach blossoms in the gardens when a tender male voice suddenly rang aloud from Sotiria and Naomi’s right.“Hey, can I play with you?”Sotiria followed the voice and turned to look. She let out a cry and nearly collapsed because the boy looked exactly like Zacha
“Can I play with her, ma’am?”Sotiria immediately nodded. “Mm, just remember to behave yourselves and don’t run around too much.”“Thanks, ma’am!”The boy happily took Naomi’s little hand.“Let’s go. Your mommy said it’s okay. Let’s go play…”Sotiria felt both relieved and surprised when she saw Naomi and the little boy playing together among the peach blossom trees, hand in hand.Sotiria didn’t remember what she was like in the past, and she didn’t know what she was like when she was a child. Thus, she didn’t know if Naomi had inherited her cold, haughtiness from her, or her father, whose identity was unknown to this very day…Naomi did not get along with other people…No matter where she went, she would have plenty of kids asking her to play with her, but she always kept them at arm’s length.Thus, when the strange little boy asked to play with her, Sotiria thought that Naomi would coldly refuse, just like she did with other children at her age.She didn’t think that Naomi
Naomi and the little boy played in the peach blossom grove for nearly an hour. Sotiria had never seen Naomi play so happily with anyone at her age before.Just then, Naomi and the little boy, who had grown tired from playing together, walked toward Sotiria. A chubby boy, one head taller than Naomi, suddenly stood in Naomi’s way, just as they were walking over. “Give me that peach blossom in your hand,” he said in a high and mighty tone.Naomi proudly lifted her face and put her hands behind her. She carried the expression of a queen. “I worked very hard to pick out the most perfect and prettiest peach blossoms here. I’m not giving it to you. Get your own!”“Hmph!”The chubby boy, who had been spoiled rotten by his parents, grabbed Naomi’s little wrist upon her refusal and tried to snatch it over.Naomi was much smaller than the chubby boy, and he was so rude too. She staggered as he pulled her, and the two bouquets of peach blossoms in her hand scattered onto the ground.“Wha
