Chapter 411

The next morning, Zara's phone buzzed and woke her up.She had barely slept. Her eyes were heavy with sleep since she had only gone to bed at around four or five in the morning. However, when she saw Yosef's name on the screen, she snapped awake.Sitting up, she glanced at the pale yellow envelope on her nightstand and bit her lip. She was thinking about last night's events.Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she answered the call. "Hello?"Yosef's voice, detached and distant even through the phone, made her shiver."What are you doing?""Sleeping.""Where are you sleeping?" he asked, his voice growing stern. "I'm in your room, and you're not here. Where did you go?"Zara paused, surprised. "You're in my room? You went to Westwood to find me?""Wasn't yesterday your last day of work? I came to pick you up and take you back to Starville," Yosef said, sounding more urgent. "Where are you right now?"Holding her blanket close, Zara glanced at the clock. It was just after 7:00

Right after she spoke, Yosef leaned down and kissed her passionately. It was a bold kiss, right there in the daylight with people all around. He did not seem to care as he held her gently and kissed her deeply. Zara, worried someone might recognize them, held onto his suit tightly while murmuring his name.Yosef seemed to throw caution to the wind and kissed her for a long moment before finally letting go. He was breathing hard, and with a mischievous glint in his eye, he said, "We're not just trying. We're doing this. We're together."Before Zara could even react, he took her hand and slipped a ring onto her finger. He was making a silent promise to her and to their future.Zara's eyes widened in shock!His voice was deep and raspy. "Listen, the county clerk's office is closed for the holiday. Once they're back after the festivities, we'll go and sign the papers."What? What did he just say?Hold on a second!When Zara realized he was not kidding, her heart skipped a beat!S

The gray cement wall soaked up the sun's rays, making it slightly warm. Zara could feel the gentle heat through her clothes. She looked away. "I haven't agreed to anything, so don't make decisions for me."Yosef planned it all out anyway. "I can't show up empty-handed on my first visit. Let's go to your town's mall. You can pick out some gifts for your parents."It's my first time meeting them. You've got to help me out."Zara fiddled with the ring on her finger, feeling a mix of numbness from his sweet talking and dizziness from his humble posture. Somehow, she found herself leading him to the mall.It was a tourist spot with stores that sold fancy brands.However, before they even stepped inside, Yosef got a call. He glanced at the caller ID, and his forehead creased. He did not look as carefree as before.Zara tried to peek at his phone screen, but he had already ended the call. He quickly transferred her 30 grand and said, "Please help me pick out the gifts. I need to take th

Chapter 414

On their short walk home from the mall, Zara's mind was racing. How on earth was she going to break the news to her parents, Trevor and Sharon, that she was getting married—and so suddenly?How could she explain that their daughter, who had left the house as a single woman this morning, was coming back half an hour later with a wedding on the horizon?She could not find the right words, so she just kept pacing around the block with Yosef until he got fed up. He took her by the shoulders and steered her toward home."Sooner or later, you have to introduce me to your parents. I'm not that bad, am I?" Yosef joked.Zara was worried because Yosef was so impressive that she did not know how to explain things to her parents.With an arch of his elegant eyebrows and a thoughtful hum, Yosef followed Zara into the house.Trevor was still out, but Sharon was there. When she found out Zara had brought a male friend home, she was both shocked and thrilled. It was the first time Zara had ever

Sharon was not naive. Though Yosef's answers were understated, she could see that his elegance was not something a little money could buy."That's wonderful, really wonderful. You've known each other for three years, so you must know each other well. I'm just double-checking," she said.Yosef was not one for going in circles. He suddenly held Zara's hand. "I've just asked Zara to marry me, and she said yes."Zara instinctively turned to look at Sharon.Sharon's face took on a worried expression, and she did not seem happy at all. Forcing a smile, she said, "Getting married is a big deal. You can't rush into it. We hardly know you, and we haven't even met your parents. We should at least sit down together, have a talk, and figure things out."Yosef picked up his cup and sniffed it but did not drink it. He just put the cup back down, looking uninterested.Zara knew exactly what he was thinking. He probably thought the coffee was not fancy enough for him, and he was not too pleased

Trevor had not come back by dinner, and the caretaker had gone out to find him. Zara was going to help Sharon with the dishes, but Sharon suggested she sit with Yosef instead. Sharon did not want her new son-in-law to feel awkward sitting by himself. However, that seemed silly. Yosef could stay calm through anything.Zara still went to him. Yosef was on the couch, and she was about to sit in a chair nearby when Yosef pulled her down next to him. He whispered, "What did you tell your mom?"Zara, ever so alert, shifted away slightly and said, "Nothing at all.""Didn't she say anything about why she's so distant with me now?" Yosef gently squeezed her fingers. "You think I can't tell? She was just upset with me. What did I do to upset your mom?"Yosef was a confident man, mostly because he had a lot going for him. However, any good parent, not looking to trade their kids like baseball cards, would first and foremost care about the character of their child's partner when it came to m

Chapter 417

Finally, Zara learned the whole story of Beatrice and him. She looked at Yosef and started thinking further.Guys were not that simple, and Yosef even less so. He could always tell if a woman liked him.Yosef knew Beatrice had a crush on him and still let her come close. That was kind of like saying it was okay for her to like him, right?Thinking about how he had been mad at her since last New Year's Eve and had been giving her the silent treatment, maybe he kept Beatrice around not just to bug her but he was also contemplating liking her back?Zara felt a bit upset and said, "Does your mom really like Beatrice? Does she want you to marry her? Leah said that Chairman Webb was okay with Beatrice at first, but then he changed his mind. Did he find out about Beatrice and your mom's past?"She did not know much about the Webb family's stuff, but she could tell Ethan was really strict with Macy.Yosef gently held her chin. "You're a secretary, not a detective. You don't need to be so

"Time to eat, everyone! Zara surprised us by bringing Yosef home today without a heads-up, so we've just got our usual home cooking. I hope Yosef likes it."Yosef stood up, glanced at Trevor's pale face, and said in a kind voice, "I'm the one who didn't tell Zara I was staying, so she couldn't let you know. It's not her fault."Sharon, the mother-in-law, could not stop smiling at Yosef. She had not been that cheerful in ages. Teasingly, she said, "Yosef, don't let Zara get away with too much."However, she quickly added, "Then again, Zara's always been so thoughtful. She's not one to be spoiled."Zara just smiled.As they all sat down to eat, Sharon ladled some soup into Yosef's bowl and kept adding more food to his plate with the serving spoon."Yosef, try this chicken noodle soup. It's very nutritious."And the grilled salmon with lemon sauce, Zara loves it. She's always had a thing for tangy flavors since she was little."Yosef glanced at Zara, who indeed had been consistent

This guy sure had some weird ideas!Zara could not help but laugh at his oddball plan.However, Yosef was finally cracking jokes. Zara smiled. "The ring won't come off, right? How can I change my mind? I don't have 45 million dollars to pay you back.""Exactly." Yosef grinned. "I've got you trapped with that unremovable ring. I was a little mad when your dad was pointing at me, but you cheered me up."Who was cheering him up? He was really good at making things up. Zara wondered aloud, "Are you picking up some new tricks from Sarah?" Was he being stubborn?"Do I need to copy someone else?" Yosef would not admit it."Should I remind you about the time you copied Yaxley, Mr. Webb?"Yosef gave her a quick kiss and then strode out of the alley.Zara laughed to herself as she headed home.As she got to the door, she heard the caretaker cry out, " Mrs. Lowry! Mrs. Lowry! Are you okay?"Zara's heart skipped a beat, and she dashed inside!There was Sharon, propped up on the couch

Zara touched her face, stunned by the sudden pain.Trevor could not believe he had actually hit her. His hand was balled into a fist as he said sternly, "I'm your dad! You have to listen to me! If I say you can't marry him, then you can't. He's bad news!"Zara's face was calm as she looked at him and asked, "What about when you gave me away to pay off your debts? Were those people good?"Trevor was rocked to his core.Zara usually did not bring up old hurts.Whether it was the mean things Yosef had done or the time Trevor and Sharon had tried to sell her, once she forgave, she tried to forget.However, today, Trevor had made her too upset. "You already chose to give me up, so stop acting like you're in charge. You've lost that right. If you make Mom upset again, I'll take her away."With that, she spun around and left.The wind made the slap on her face burn even more. She swallowed hard and started running out of the alley.What she did not expect was to see that fancy Maybac
