12After talking with Caleb, it was already dark. I took a taxi directly to the hospital where Yunus stayed.I tentatively sent Yunus a WhatsApp message just now: [Is Xiana with you now?]Yunus quickly replied: [Yes. Are you looking for her?]I looked at the line and sneered.Of course, I had something for her.I had never thought about it.The reason why Jaden avoided me that whole year was actually related to Xiana, whom I had never met before and had not been arranged to appear until Chapter 12.I clenched my phone tightly and walked into the hallway of the hospital with extreme anger.The hospital was extremely quiet that day, but when I walked to the corner of the aisle, I bumped into a person carelessly."Watch out!"As my body unexpectedly fell backward, someone held my waist firmly and locked me in his arms. The familiar breath instantly shrouded me.I looked up. It was Jaden.Looking at his cold and handsome face, my anger subsided. I blinked and asked, "The audit
13"Of course... It's a real discussion about the script."When the door was snapped closed, I reached out and put my arms around Jaden's neck, pulling his head down. My eyes were foggy, and my voice was soft.Jaden raised his eyebrows slightly. At that time, a few buttons of his collar were unbuttoned, revealing a large area of his collarbone and chest.My gaze fixated on him, and I could feel my face burning. Even the place that my fingers touched was burning.He chuckled in a low voice. "Okay, let's discuss the script then.""It's not—"As soon as I spoke, Jaden stepped forward, pressed me against the wall, locked my chin abruptly, lowered his head, and started kissing me.My whole body trembled, and I tiptoed to kiss him back.A moment later, his lips pressed against mine while rubbing them softly. His voice was hoarse."Yahir looked at Wenna. She exposes all the scars in front of him, and her watery eyes are covered with a mist of humiliation. His first reaction is not t

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
