Chapter 427

Yara climbed onto the cabin treehouse again. She rested on top and basked under the moonlight. She played mini-games on her phone. I asked Noelle softly, “You didn’t call me just to talk about this, right?” “Caroline, he has always kept a low-profile. However, he became such a high-profile man just to display his love for you! He even announced that you are his fiance to the whole world and promised to marry you sometime later.” Noelle’s hoarse voice continuously rang through the phone. She continued, “I’m truly jealous of you. I’m envious of you for stealing his heart, but how did I lose? I appeared in his life earlier than you. I have the acknowledgment from all the Schick family’s family members. But why on earth did it have to be you? “How could you take my place away? How could you snatch my beloved man away? I love him so much, and I don’t know what else I can do in this life other than to marry him! I was trained since young to learn to become his good wife! Without him, what am I?” Noelle had been self-pitying since she called me. She never talked about Zachary’s mother’s death. In the end, she was still an unfortunate and pitiful person, a feudal woman trained by the Schick family. I raised my head and unintentionally saw Wale walking towards me from afar. I pondered briefly and decided to comfort Noelle. “Zachary’s existence doesn’t embody your value! Moreover, love doesn’t care who came first or who came later. I was unsure why Zachary chose me, but he loves me, and I love him. With that, we will walk firmly through our life! “Noelle, you are still young. You are also very outstanding. In the future, you will meet someone better. You have to learn when to let go. Perhaps you would meet your bright future soon.” “Caroline, Zachary’s mother passed away,” Noelle interrupted me after I said that. I pretended to be unaware. “When did that happen?” “Not long ago. Your engagement with Zachary struck her… Zachary respected his mother. All these years in the Schick family, they depended on each other.” “Now, because of your love, you caused him to lose his mother. If you both continued to be together, more people around him would be hurt… Would you leave him? You won’t.” “Caroline, when you love someone, you would not cowardly leave them due to temporary hardships. You don’t have to advise me. Even if Zachary marries you in the future, I would never give up.” I felt my conversation with Noelle was pointless. She only called me to reveal her stubbornness and paranoia. I was not interested in her confessions. I simply said, “If there’s no other matter, I’ll hang up first!” Noelle was startled. “You—” I hung up on her directly. By then, Wale had returned to the villa. I called him out, “Why didn’t you regard Zachary as an enemy now?” Previously, Wale cruelly suppressed Zachary, but he willingly let Zachary enter Mountain Wu. Wale bowed to me and said in a respectful tone, “Master, I told you I only executed the Old Master’s plans. When I retired, I had nothing to do with the Schick family’s matters anymore.” He paused a little, then let out a sigh. “I was only following orders. I was never an enemy of Mr. Schick. When my mission ends, Mr. Schick will still be the same person I respected. He is a respectable young man.” I took a deep breath and sighed. “I used to hate you.” He said calmly, “I can understand.” “Wale, how’s Zachary and his mothers’ relationship?” I asked. Wale told me everything he knew. “She was the only one Mr. Schick could trust since he returned to the Schick family. She was sincere to Mr. Schick even though she wasn’t his biological mother. Since Mr. Schick lacked parental warmth in childhood, he naturally sensed her sincerity. Master, why did you suddenly ask about this?” I shook my head. “Nothing really.” I began to realize that there was a lot of trouble that stemmed from that incident. At least, it would be difficult for Zachary and me to solve it. When it came to family, there were still things that made Zachary helpless. I was afraid that between Zachary and I… “Master, about your engagement… Did Mr. Schick’s mother not oppose it?”
