Chapter 418

My mood was great. The moment I saw Zachary’s mother’s message, my mood turned sour. I was afraid Zachary realized I saw the message, so I did not stare at his phone for too long. Anyway, his phone’s screen darkened quickly after! I hugged the man in my embrace. He never spoke a single word the whole time. After a while, he got up and put me down, then left the study. I followed behind him obediently. He turned over and looked at me with his profound gaze. I stopped. “Why?” He said lightly, “Only a kitten would follow behind its master.” I subconsciously answered, “Cats are cold to humans. Did you mean a puppy?” When I realized what I had said, I quickly covered my mouth. Zachary looked at me with a vague smile. I looked at him pitifully and complained, “You bullied me.” He never responded to me but continued to walk along the corridors. I stood still and just looked at his back silently. Before he went down the staircase, he suddenly turned around and called me gently, “Puppy, still not following your master?” Oh my god, his words hit straight to my heart! It hit my girly heart fiercely! I grinned and ran towards him. I hugged his waist and called him sweetly, “Second Brother.” He hugged me back with his muscular arms and hummed. I could not restrain myself. “I like you,” I declared. Zachary pursed his lips slightly and looked at me with his smiling gaze. I rubbed my head against his chin and asked, “Do you like me?” He hummed lightly in response. I continued to ask greedily, “What do you mean? Do you like me or not?” Since I pestered him for an answer, he could only reply helplessly, “Don’t mess around.” He was like a man of steel, so he naturally could not profess his love so bluntly. Since it was rare to see his awkward reaction, I loved to tease him. I continued to act childishly. “Do you like me?” After all, Zachary was still his usual self. He simply ignored my question in silence and hugged my waist. I felt slightly disappointed since I did not get my desired answer. However, I understood his personality, so I never continued to act persistently. After we got downstairs, Zachary let me go and headed to the kitchen. He took out some seafood and began preparing our meal. I stood at the kitchen entrance and stared at him with clingy eyes. I felt loaded with happiness from the bottom of my heart. If only my two children were still here, then it would be perfect, however… Although I felt loved as I basked in happiness, I still missed them more. I missed them a lot. Even at night, I always dreamt of them when I slept. I recalled the difficulties I faced during my pregnancy. I stayed in the hospital for more than half a year. During the day, I had Jade to accompany me. Occasionally, I had the chance to talk to Elaine about relationship problems. Even so, most of the time, I felt extremely lonely. At that time, Zachary was not by my side. Without that man’s company, I felt incredibly lonely. Even though I resented him before, it was my own decision. I wanted to keep the child in my belly no matter what would happen. However, even though I risked everything, I got nothing in return. I stood at the door in a daze. Zachary noticed and put down the ingredients. “What are you thinking about?” he asked caringly. I mentioned children a few times in front of Zachary, but he never gave me any reactions. He did not seem to be interested in discussing children. I shook my head. “It’s nothing.” He suddenly instructed me, “Help me give Joshua a call. Tell him there’s something he needs to settle in the European Region later.” Zachary suddenly instructed me to call Joshua… Our relationship was not repaired yet. I said cowardly, “I don’t dare to. I’m afraid Third Brother is still angry with me. If it were me, I would be angry too.” I could understand Joshua’s standpoint, but I still felt sad in my heart.
