Chapter 311

Yosef never gave explanations.He never felt the need to justify his actions to anyone.Standing at the top of the stairs, he peered down into the darkness that stretched beyond the open front door.It was way past bedtime.Yosef glanced over. "Go get some sleep. The Hosters have set up a room for you."Without thinking, Leah blurted out, "And you?"Yosef's eyes narrowed just a bit. He did not like people poking into his business. Leah pressed her lips together. "I just mean if Marigold doesn't see you in the morning, she'll ask me where you've gone. What should I tell her?""Just wing it." Yosef walked away but paused to add, "Tess is upset and might not make much sense. Tomorrow, you tell Marigold about the culprit Zara found, okay?"Leah's gaze flickered. "The culprit Zara found."Sure, Zara had figured it out too, but Yosef was the one who had really cracked the case earlier with Tess.Still, he made a point of telling Leah to credit Zara with the discovery.Leah kept he

Yosef gave her a cold look. "Didn't you say you wanted to pay for the ride?"Zara gritted her teeth. Yosef no longer drove slowly. He floored the gas pedal, speeding up in a second and whipping around a big mountain curve. Zara was not ready, and her body slammed against the car door, only to be yanked back by the seatbelt.The bump did not hurt her, but she felt really frustrated. Her eyes were red and angry as she glared at him.Yosef's hand tightened on the wheel. He slowed down just a little. His voice was sharp. "I never knew you were so fiery. Nothing I do is right, whether I agree with you or not."If anyone else had said those words, they might have sounded like they were saying, "I just don't know what to do with you," or "You're really giving me a hard time." The words would contain a kind of loving frustration. It was Yosef who said them, however, so all Zara could hear was annoyance.Zara was the kind of person who was usually calm and patient. She was able to keep h

Just because she made him mad, he got to do whatever he wanted? Who decided that? Probably him, right?He thought he could call all the shots!Zara was too mad to even talk. Yosef touched his mouth, which was bleeding. She had bitten him like a wildcat.He cleared his throat. "Stay put and don't give me that look again." The mountain road was all twists and turns.Zara pushed down her anger, sat back down, and held onto the handle.Yosef changed gears, let off the brake, and drove down the hill.He did not ask where she lived, and she did not tell him. She knew he knew.She thought she was out of his reach, yet he was still keeping an eye on every move she made.At last, they got to the bottom of the mountain and onto the main road. The road was straight, and the lights were bright. Yosef finally took a moment to look at the woman next to him.Zara was leaning against the door with her eyes closed, looking really tired. Her breathing was heavy, and her forehead was wrinkled wi

Zara had a deep sleep and only woke up when the clock showed it was already after seven in the morning.She was in a shared hospital ward, separated from the next bed by a curtain. She could hear the other patient's family chatting and checking in on them even with the curtain. However, her side was silent.Yosef was gone.She was not sure when he left, probably sometime last night.Zara never really expected Yosef to stay with her in the hospital all night.Westwood winters were chilly, and the window was open by a small crack. It let in the gentle morning breeze. Her bed was near the window, and it felt cool, so she snuggled deeper into her blanket.Her head was still spinning a little, and her muscles ached from the fever that had broken.She figured Stefan would be awake by now, so she grabbed her phone and called him.He picked up quickly.After a cough, Zara said, "Mr. Schmidt, I took care of the Hoster family's issue last night.""What happened?" he asked.Zara explai

At the Hoster family's house, breakfast was underway.Marigold looked up at the sound and saw Leah and Tess coming down the stairs while chatting and laughing. They seemed as close as best friends, just as Zara had imagined the night before.Although Marigold's brows creased for a moment, she quickly smoothed her expression. "Ms. Nox, you've been so helpful, looking after Tess and the kids last night."Leah pulled out a chair for Tess and said with a warm smile, "Oh, Madam Hoster, it's nothing. Yosef holds you in high regard, and I think of you as my own grandma. Those kids are like my nephews, so it's only natural I'd help out."Tess, feeling moved, took Leah's hand and sat down together.Marigold gave a soft smile. "I heard Yosef had to leave last night. Was it something urgent?"Leah answered, "Yes, a work emergency. Yosef wanted me to say sorry on his behalf for leaving so suddenly. He promised to visit the Hoster estate again soon and spend time with you. Until then, I'm her

After Zara's IV drip finished, it was just after eight in the morning. She lay in the hospital bed, her hair a mess as she thought about checking out and heading back to the hotel. She planned to rest until the afternoon and then go to the office.As she was about to throw back her blanket, she heard a long, teasing call, "Honey." It echoed from the door. Zara's eyes flickered with annoyance. She peeked out from behind the curtain. Of course, it was Yaxley.He spotted her too, and his grin grew wider. "Ms. Lowry, you're awake? Perfect timing! I brought you breakfast. Have it while it's still warm."Yaxley had his arms full of big and small bags, which he set down on the bedside table. "I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I got a little of everything. Choose whatever you fancy."Zara watched him closely, feeling uneasy. "How did you find out I was in the hospital?"Did Stefan tell him? She had not given Stefan the details of her hospital or ward number. How did he find her so accur

Right after Yaxley spoke, someone grabbed him by the shoulder. Before he could even look, he was hurled away!He stumbled, and the food went flying all over him.He was not burned, thanks to his clothes, but he sure looked a mess.Yaxley, tongue against his cheek, looked up to see Yosef still smiling. However, there was a chill to it now. "Mr. Webb, can't we just talk? Why get rough?"Yosef stared at him. "Do you ever really talk?""Sure, I'm all about talking," Yaxley said, peeling off his jacket and tossing his fancy custom suit into the trash without a second thought.He gave a half-smile and said, "I heard you brought Ms. Lowry to the hospital last night. Thanks for that. Next time, just call me, okay? I'm about to be Ms. Lowry's boyfriend, you know."Yosef was fixing his cuffs, and Zara could not help but notice his suit looked just like the one from last night... Did he not go home?No way.She shook off the thought in a flash.Yosef always wore black suits, and they we

Chapter 318

The moment he brought up what happened at Rofey Manor, Zara felt a cold wind rush through her. It seemed to seep right into her bones, and it hurt.That was when she saw, yet again, how little Yosef thought of her and how cruel he could be. She even had nightmares about Yosef demanding she pay back for his tricks by stripping... She would wake up each time scared. Even though it was still in the wee hours, she would not be able to sleep anymore as her chest would be tight with worry. Her getting sick so suddenly was not just because of the new environment or the stress from work; it was also because she was worrying too much.Her throat was still sore, and she managed to say, "Are those two things even comparable?"Yosef noticed she was paler than the night before but said nothing.Zara held her breath, pulled her hand back, and finished inputting the PIN code. She had successfully transferred 40 grand to Yosef. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "Mr. Webb, make sure you take

Jane replied, "You should at least take everyone out for a meal!"That sounded reasonable to Zara. She nodded. "Sure, I don't know many restaurants in Westwood. You pick the place and time, then let me know."Work was light today, so everyone could head out on time. Jane came over to Zara's desk, all excited. "Ms. Lowry, let's go cash in on that meal you owe us today. I've already told everyone!"Zara was not feeling sick or dizzy anymore, but her throat was still sore. She was not up for a gathering.Seeing her colleagues' eager faces, though, Zara decided to just go with it. "Okay."A group of seven piled into two cars and pulled up to an establishment named Epitome Gastronomy.The place was as fancy as West Palace in Starville. Zara could tell just by looking that it would not be cheap to eat here.Her colleagues were impressed too. "Wow, Epitome Gastronomy... Isn't this place super pricey? It's like the most expensive restaurant in Westwood. There's no public dining area, ju

Jane's face turned red with embarrassment when she realized she was being insulted. "I wasn't trying to be difficult. It was her..."Yaxley cut in, "You weren't, but I'm the one paying. So, I get to decide who I invite. And I don't want to invite you. Could you please leave? You're really bothering me."Jane could not take the humiliation and shot Zara a bitter look.Zara just stood there, calm as ever.Jane left with her head down.Yaxley walked over to Zara.Zara knew he was on her side and did not want to seem unthankful. She said earnestly, "Thanks, Mr. Lark, but you didn't have to go that far.""No way. If someone picks on you, I'll stand up to them," Yaxley said with a grin and then turned to everyone. He announced, "Today, you can eat, drink, and have fun on Ms. Lowry's dime. And since I'm the one who likes her, I'll take care of the bill."Zara was exasperated.He was always doing this—showing everyone that he was her admirer...."Mr. Webb?" a client whispered nearb
