Author: Fei Chang Xiang Shui Jiao 1On the day I drafted the divorce agreement, Zachary Jay became famous overnight. He topped the Twitter Trending list, and photos of him flooded the screen on Instagram.Without glancing at the divorce agreement, Zachary rolled up the agreement sheets and gave me a soft knock on the head."Eva Jones, you're really silly."His eyes were slightly bloodshot because of the all-night program recording."What? I'm just afraid that as a married man, your career in showbiz will be affected!" I rubbed my head helplessly."I'm a songwriter, not a prostitute." Zachary threw his coat on the couch and said, "I'm fine with it if you want a divorce. But I'm afraid you'll be in trouble when someone finds it out."Zachary's words reminded me that it was not a good choice to put myself in the eye of the storm by divorcing at this juncture.But it was not appropriate for me to be with Zachary.Zachary's mother had been diagnosed with terminal cancer some ti
3"I know." I took out a set of clean pajamas from the closet and threw them to him. "Put them on quickly. Or you might catch a cold."Zachary slightly raised his eyebrows. "I still need underpants."I almost slipped over when I heard this. I gritted my teeth and returned to the closet to take his underwear."Don't argue with a drunk man. Calm down." I spoke to myself.I reached into the closet and threw a random pair of underpants at his face. He caught it smoothly, but when our eyes met, he collapsed on the bed weakly.Droplets of water slid down from his wet hair and damped his eyes. He looked so innocent with his watery eyes.My mouth twitched with amusement. This man could be a talented actor if he wanted."Tell me when you're done." I looked away helplessly.I waited for Zach to get dressed outside the bathroom, but suddenly, there was a dull thud from inside.I hurriedly pushed the door open and found him sitting half-naked on the floor."Are you all right? I asked wo
6After graduation, I opened a fashion design studio with my college classmate Bob Lennon.Over these years, our business was booming. Many B-list and C-list stars frequented our studio.Two months ago, we were hired as the stylists for the contestants of Charles' talent show. It was actually thanks to Zachary.Bob knew about my three-day relationship with Timothy, so he only arranged for himself and two assistants to take charge of the work.However, one of the assistants asked for leave today.I was slightly scared that the pain Zachary had suffered last time would happen again, so I told Bob that I would temporarily take over the assistant's work.Bob was dumbfounded when he heard that. He even reached out to touch my forehead and asked in surprise, "Eva, are you okay? You would turn around and leave when you saw him from afar since you broke up with him in college. What's wrong with you today?"I patted his hand and said, "It's been so many years. He's the one who should be
8"Zachary is so handsome! Why does he always wear big-framed sunglasses to cover his face? I can hardly see his perfect face clearly at all when he does that.""Isn't it obvious? Zachary is loyal to me. He will only allow me to appreciate his handsome face at our home!""Hey, your hubby last month was still Timothy Chase! You remarried so quickly.""Of course, Zachary is now my new husband."Two young girls chattered and giggled as they scrolled through photos on their phones, but a middle-aged woman beside them suddenly interrupted their dream of infatuation with handsome stars."Hey, you two, why do you call other men your hubbies so casually?"The two girls looked puzzled, and one studied the woman with disdain. "Who are you? What's wrong with you? I'm saying that my new husband is Zachary Jay, so what?""Zachary Jay is my son-in-law!"The instant she finished speaking, the two girls burst into laughter. "What a lunatic!"This middle-aged woman was my mother, Sylvie Jones
10"Zachary, thank you so much for embarrassing me." I put the coffee heavily on the table."Hmm?" Zachary slowly took off his sunglasses and looked up at me with an innocent face."Stop pretending to be pitiful!"Do you know how ashamed I was when that delivery guy called me in front of everyone in the dressing room, 'So you are Zachary's honey?'"A faint smile on the corner of his mouth slowly turned into a chuckle. In the end, he collapsed on the sofa and trembled with laughter."Stop laughing!" I picked up a pillow and threw it at him.Zachary caught the pillow and put it behind his back. "You can let the delivery boy put the coffee at the door.""I had my phone muted during working hours. Besides, I had no idea you ordered me coffee." I complained angrily, "I just bought you a shirt as a birthday gift out of kindness. Maybe I should just give it to a homeless man now.""Hey, don't do that!" Zachary quickly got up from the sofa and pulled me back. "Are you mad at me?"I s
12I checked the time. It was getting late."I should go." I pointed to the shirt in the package and said, "Here's your birthday gift. See if it suits you."Zachary glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly. He suddenly chuckled, "Pay me back the interest on the membership."I rolled my eyes and refused, "No.""Cook me a meal. It's getting late anyway. You can leave after having dinner." There was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.I was touched, and my eyelashes fluttered.His diet has been a mess since Zachary's mother passed away. He would have had a stomachache if I hadn't kept an eye on him.He had been busy with work recently. Needless to say, he must be living on takeout food these days."Your refrigerator is empty. There's nothing to cook..." I was then speechless when I saw the refrigerator stuffed with food.I couldn't help looking up at Zachary. His eyes were full of pride."You've really changed. There were only a few bottles of ice water in your refrigerato
13In the recording of the next episode, Zachary wore the shirt I gave him as a birthday gift. With his deep facial features, he attracted the attention of the audience the instant he stepped onto the stage.The light shone on his neat face, and his delicate facial lines seemed to have been carved by the Creator himself.It was my first time sitting in the auditorium with my assistant. Amidst the screams, I heard some whispers."Oh my god, Zachary's stylist today deserves a reward! He looks so good in this outfit!""That's right. The clothes really show off his figure. Look at his legs, his waist...""Hey, can you imagine him taking off his clothes?""Damn, you make me shy. As my hubby, he must be in good shape with beautiful muscles!"……I watched joyfully at the show's beginning, but then I almost left with rage because of the girls' illusions about Zachary.My parents asked me to take Zachary home for dinner today, so I had to wait until the recording finished.However, w
15When we got home, my mother felt sorry that Zachary had lost much weight and blamed me for it.Then, she threw me a shopping list and asked me to go out. I had no choice but to reluctantly obey.However, it was not until I reached the checkout counter that I realized that I didn't bring my wallet and phone with me.Damn."A total of 55 dollars. Cash or..." The cashier was stunned when she saw me rummaging through my pocket. She tilted her head and asked, "Miss, you...""We'll pay by Apple Cash," a familiar voice sounded behind me. I looked back and saw Zachary, who had his face covered and only revealed his smiling eyes."Didn't I tell you to wait for me? You're always so careless." Zachary reached out and ruffled my hair."Did you follow me all the way?" I leaned over and whispered."Mom was worried that you were too slight to carry the stuff, so she asked me to come and help." Zachary bent over me and said, "Eva, you're not very vigilant..."I nudged him and said with my
