However, Zachary cut his mother short before she could finish.A little frustrated just then, he snapped, "How could you say that, Mom? Don't you remember what you did to her? I didn't hold that against you and I wouldn't have managed to keep her if she didn't lose her memory. And yet you still suspect her after everything that's happened?"Mrs. Slate held her son's gaze. "I didn't want to suspect her, but it's just too much of a coincidence.""The investigation made everything very clear—the fire was just an accident from faulty wiring. How could you blame that on her?"Zachary was naturally unhappy. He felt like he owed Lulu, and he was single-minded about making amends. How was he a man if he still suspected her now?Outside the ward, Lulu turned to leave after hearing that, her expression impassive.But she was certainly not getting soft just because of what Zachary said.Within, Mrs. Slate knew that Zachary would not believe her without evidence, and she hence said, "Just
Zachary was wary about Ricky because he and Lulu were close before she lost her memory.He had no idea if she had fallen for him, but everyone could see that he was interested in her.He pulled Lulu to his side while glaring at Ricky hostilely. "What are you doing here?"Ricky simply ignored him. "I'm not here to see you."Zachary narrowed his eyes with dripping enmity. "I'm warning you—don't you bother Lulu again.""Hah!" Ricky snorted. "And you aren't deceiving her because she lost her memory? I'm going to tell her everything you did to her before—""You're crazy," Zachary snapped, and he quickly took Lulu to his car while telling her, "Don't believe his crap."Lulu stayed silent as she turned around to Ricky.Ricky was naturally too impulsive to just watch as Zachary took her away. However, as he strode forward to argue with Zachary, Lulu stopped him with a look.He was left stumped and he murmured, "Lulu…""Don't come looking for me ever again," Lulu told him and left him
Lulu bit her lip. "Stop it…"Before she could finish, Zachary's lips were already on hers.He was holding her very tightly. Despite Lulu's disgust, she could not refuse for appearance's sake, so she pretended to be embarrassed. "Don't…"Zachary brushed against her cheek. "We're lovers. Kissing is fine."Lulu said, "But I forgot about that.""You'd remember if I kissed you more.""You're such a scoundrel." She pretended to pout and slipped out of his arms.Zachary naturally knew that he should not be impatient, and he simply bore with it. "Why? It's normal for lovers, and I will take responsibility for you—just say the word, and I will marry you right away."Lulu did not want to talk about that, so she quickly changed the subject. "When would you finish work? It's so boring staying here.""I'll be done soon," Zachary said."Hurry," she urged."Yeah."Still, he was only done when the skies were dark and it was almost time for dinner.Zachary looked for a restaurant that offe
Ricky quickly ran up to Lulu the instant he saw her, hugging her without a care. "You remember me, right? You wouldn't have given me that look earlier otherwise… I thought I was imagining it, but you came. I was right!" "Actually, I don't," Lulu said.It certainly dampened Ricky's enthusiasm, but he did not seem to buy it. "You can forget everyone, but not me!"He was holding Lulu's shoulders, looking straight into her eyes!Lulu did not flinch, however, and she met his gaze. "Well, I don't remember you, but I understand that you've been good to me and always told me the truth. I've seen your rage toward Zachary Slate and how excited you were to see me, and I know that you're a good person."Ricky's eyes welled with tears from excitement."I'm not just a good person—I'm the one who loves you, and wants to protect you," he said, taking her hand. "You have to come with me."Nonetheless, Lulu shook her head. "I can't."Ricky lost his composure right then. "Why? Are you really wit
Issac had quickly finished work abroad and rushed back, but he had never expected to be greeted by this scene.Winding up the window, he kept his voice in control as he said, "Drive."The chauffeur quickly drove off.Still, Tommy leapt happily into Isaac's arms once he reached home. "Papa."Scooping Tommy up in his arms, he asked, "Do you miss me?"Tommy nodded. "Yes.""Which part of you miss me?" "Here," Tommy said, patting his chest and giving him a peck on the cheek, leaving his face wet and stinky. Isaac frowned. "What did you eat tonight?"Tommy tilted his head in thought. "Soup and food."Isaac almost laughed. What would he be eating if not food?"Anything else?"Tommy racked his head. "Oh. I also ate poop. It was very sweet."Isaac was speechless.He ate… poop?!Still, Mrs. Watson heard that, and quickly explained, "It's a chocolate croissant."Isaac smacked Tommy's little rump. "You almost scared me there."Tommy giggled and wrapped his little arms around his
Isaac lowered his eyes, leveling a penetrating gaze into hers.Irene smiled. "What? What's that look for?"She stood on the balls of her feet, wrapping her hands around his neck, and kissed him.The touch left him stiffening and flinching.She gently pulled away and murmured, "Are you upset?"Before he could answer, however, she said, "About the diary…"Isaac's eyes narrowed subtly, as if he did not expect her to mention it on her own.At the same time, Irene kept her arms around his neck, and brushed her chin against his chest since he was that tall. "I must've been fourteen when I wrote it, but I was too young and stupid to understand love, and at the phase when I'm curious about the opposite sex. I don't remember Seth after I left that phase.""Really?" Isaac was skeptical."Yes. You were acting weird, and I somehow thought the diary was the reason, so I took a look. That's why I know what upset you—anyway, I threw it away already since it doesn't even have any sentimental
The man in the lead said, "We're from a security company. Mr. Jefferson asked us to make a delivery.""Oh, come in…" Mrs. Watson muttered.She was actually intimidated by their appearance and was relieved when she actually realized that they were not actually thugs. As Irene looked up, the men opened one of the suitcases on the coffee table. "Ms. Spencer, yes? Please confirm you have received these items.""What are they?" she asked."Feel free to take a look." The men spun the suitcases to her end, and Irene was left raising her brow when she was what was inside.She did not know her jewelry, but she could tell that the set lying in the suitcase there was worth a fortune.The man introduced, "It's an antique, and once belonged to the royal household of Yvesia. Mr. Jefferson acquired this set of jewelry in a Minervan auction for 3.8 million dollars. He entrusted it to our company to bring it safely here to Zidonia."Irene had no idea what all of that meant, but the price tag
Erin darted inside her car the instant she saw Isaac. She did not even want to make eye contact, though that was less fear than her uneasiness with his coldness.She knew her place and certainly did not want him to misunderstand that she was a social climber, which was why keeping her distance was the best policy for her.For Isaac's part, he glanced at her car but did not say a thing.Lulu greeted him before leaving, while Irene walked up, linking arms with him as he headed inside the mansion."Did you send something in today?""Do you like it?" Isaac asked, watching her reaction.Irene's lips curled up briefly—she would be lying if she said she did not like it because no woman disliked sparkling jewelry.However, she did not love it that much and was perfectly without it anyway.What made her happy was Isaac's sincerity—it was obvious he was sincere."It's too expensive, so I wanted to keep it inside the safe in your study, but I didn't know the code, so I had to wait for yo
