Zyra clasped her hands. Twenty-seven years old… Their ages matched!"Why are you asking this?" Sonnet asked suspiciously.Zyra came back to her senses and smiled. "I'm just curious. I was just asking."Sonnet did not believe her but she did not probe further. If Zyra felt that she could say more, she would have.The two of them chatted about something else. May called them for dinner, but Shay kept holding Zyra's hand. She could only shamelessly freeload from the Scott family.Another hour after dinner, Logan returned. It was already nine in the evening, and he reeked of alcohol."CEO Scott, you're quite cool. You just found the child after losing him. You're not in a hurry to come back to see your son!" Sonnet chided softly.Logan chuckled. "I know you and Miss Wilkis are here, so I was not in a hurry."He turned to look at Zyra and said politely, "I have a social gathering today, so I really can't refuse. Sorry to trouble you.""You're welcome." Zyra smiled.Sonnet waved at
"Afraid of me?" Logan sneered. As he spoke, smoke seeped out of his nostrils."No." Zyra shook her head without thinking."Then why are you hiding?" Logan threw away his cigarette and stared at her with a smile.Zyra did not say anything. She did not know what to answer.Logan tugged at his tie. "What I was trying to say is whether it’s okay for us to lie to Shay like this?""I didn't ask you to lie to Shay!""You mean you'll see Shay once a week?" Logan's eyes flickered."If you don't mind, I can do it. I like Little Shay very much too. I'm willing to work hard for his healthy growth," Zyra said as she met his burning gaze."But I'm afraid that he'll take it seriously and never be able to leave you again. What should I do?" Logan took another step forward."I think he'll slowly understand when he grows up," Zyra said. She hadn't thought through this question carefully. She had just said that she wanted to see Little Shay every week because she was bursting with maternal insti
The next moment, she felt a tight grip on her arm and was helped up with force.Only then did she see that the person who had saved her was Logan!She widened her eyes in surprise. "CEO Scott, you…" Why are you here? Did you follow me in?“You left your phone in my car.” Logan opened his palm. In it was Zyra's phone."It seems like you predicted that you would be in danger, so you deliberately left your phone in my car?" He smiled jokingly."CEO Scott, these people are from Second Brother Redford's side." The driver rushed over and looked at the two men lying on the ground.Logan didn't even look at the two. He said calmly, "Take care of it."The driver responded and pulled the two men away, leaving Logan and Zyra standing face to face.Zyra bowed slightly. "Thank you, CEO Scott.""Only saying thank you? Aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?"Zyra looked up in surprise and saw a hint of mischief in his eyes."Then… there's a cafe outside the district. Shall I tr
Zyra was stunned. When she came back to her senses, her breath had already been completely invaded by the man's scent.She pushed the man hard. His chest was as hard as a rock, and he did not move.She punched the man's shoulder again, but the man still did not move. He even increased his aggression.In the end, Zyra gritted her teeth hard and bit. Logan groaned and finally let go of her.Zyra pushed him away and scolded coldly, "CEO Scott, you'd better leave now, or I'll call the police!"Logan looked at her in a daze as if he didn't understand what she was saying. His eyes were red and filled with love and madness."Yasmin, don't leave me, don't leave me!" He babbled. His large hand pressed on the back of Zyra's head, and he kissed her again."Wuwuwu!" Zyra whimpered and struggled with all her might. The man's hands were like iron pincers, restraining her and preventing her from escaping.Zyra's heart was in a mess, and tears welled up in her eyes.Cold and salty tears flowe
What was wrong with her?She was a rational woman. How could she be overwhelmed by a man's deep love for another woman? Could it be that she wanted to be a substitute?Zyra was distraught and rubbed her face with all her might.Crazy, I'm crazy! One night is enough. I can't continue to be crazy!At this thought, she got out of bed and walked quickly to the bathroom.As the warm water washed over her body, she gradually relaxed. At the same time, the decision in her heart became clearer.After getting out, she planned to have a clear conversation with that man. Although she initially resisted last night, she eventually went along with it. So, let's consider it as a mutual physical need and leave it at that. Let's never meet again!When she returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, the bed was already empty. The man who had been sleeping soundly on the bed had disappeared without a trace.Zyra had already thought of what she wanted to say in her heart. She had even rehearsed
The two men turned and Zyra said coldly, "I've already made it very clear to you. I don't know Jonas Walsh. If you come looking for me again, I'll call the police—"Before she could finish, she saw the two men kneeling in front of her!"Miss Wilkis, it's our fault for harassing you previously. We're here to apologize to you today. Miss Wilkis, you're magnanimous, so don't call the police, right?"Zyra's mouth formed an "O" shape.Apologize? What was going on?! These people actually came to apologize and even begged her not to call the police?!If he was really afraid of her calling the police, he shouldn't have come. He wasn't a kind person, so why would he especially come to apologize?She finally found her voice. "Well, as long as you don't come looking for me again, of course, I won't call the police."The two men were overjoyed. "We definitely won't look for Miss Wilkis again in future. Don't worry!""Get up. Let's go." Seeing them kneeling, Zyra felt a little uncomfortable
"Drive!" Logan said to the driver.The car started up and sped away.Zyra calmed down and struggled to sit down.She looked at Logan coldly. "CEO Scott, what are you doing? Are you going to kidnap someone in broad daylight?!"Logan scratched his head. "I know you're angry about what happened last night. I'm sorry. I drank a little last night and was a little drunk."At first, he was not drunk last night. However, when he saw Zyra applying medicine on him, he suddenly missed Yasmin. After that, he went crazy.After waking up in the morning, he realized that he had done something wrong and immediately regretted it. However, he did not know how to face Zyra, so he could only leave first."Now, rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who denies responsibility. Whatever you need from me, I will take responsibility."Wang Zhizhen's face turned red. "Deny responsibility? What a rude thing to say!"Suppressing her racing heart, she pretended to be indifferent. "CEO Scott, you're over
"CEO Scott, you should stop your domineering behavior. Don't think that all women like this tone," Zyra lowered her eyes and said."Can you listen to me if I do that?" Logan let go of her and rubbed the back of his hand that was hurting from the bite.Zyra remained silent.Looking at her defensive and prickly demeanor, Logan sighed. "I'm here to help you.""I don't need your help," Zyra said immediately."Your brother—""I don't have a brother!" Zyra interrupted him emotionally.Logan smiled bitterly. "Alright, you don't have a brother. It's Jonas. Jonas owes Second Brother Redford a huge sum of money. Even if you don't want to pay the interest, you still have to pay the principal.""What does it have to do with me?" Zyra straightened her neck and said."It has nothing to do with you. Just take it that I'm informing you. I helped him pay the money he owed, but he had to pay me back. He didn't have money, so he had to pay me back with labor. So from today onwards, Jonas will wo
