But a simple wish like that can’t even be fulfilled…
Zachary, who used to be so powerful and charismatic, had become so pathetic because of love.
Ben’s heart ached when he looked at Zachary. He could not help but suggest, “Why don’t we tell her the truth?”
Shut up!” Zachary squeezed his throat abruptly and warned, “If you dare let her find out, I’ll kill you and Lupine!”
“Ahem…” Although Ben was almost strangled to death, he did not dare to resist.
Luckily, Zachary released him quickly. Collapsing on the sofa, Ben clutched his neck and kept coughing. After he
regained his composure, he apologized frantically, “I’m sorry, Mr. Nacht. I was only making a suggestion. I won’t tell
her. I swear on my life!”
“You’re not allowed to bring this up in the future.” Zachary was furious. “I want her to return to my side willingly,
not out of pity for me.”
“I understand.” Ben nodded fearfully.
Zachary did not say anything else. He raised his wine glass and drank silently.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStanding beside him, Ben reminded carefully, “You should stop drinking after finishing this glass. You still have to
see Dr. Felch tomorrow morning.”
When Dr. Felch reviewed the information that Bruce had given to him, he had asked Zachary to meet him the next
morning.
“Shut up!” Zachary was bristling with frustration.
Not daring to say anything else, Ben stood at the side with his head lowered.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. When Ben opened the door, the manager walked in with a pot of
tea. He said carefully, “Ms. Gold prepared this and asked me to send it over.”
“Hasn’t she left already?” asked Ben, feeling puzzled.
“She waited for her subordinates to send the tea leaves over. After preparing the tea and instructing me to send it
to Mr. Nacht, she left.” The manager shot a timid look at him. “She said that since Mr. Nacht’s complexion doesn’t
seem too good, he shouldn’t drink too much alcohol. She even said that Mr. Nacht will definitely like this tea.”
“I’ve been keeping an eye on her before coming here with the manager,” said the bodyguard who was tasked to
bring Nancy out. “Her bodyguards had arrived to pick her up. Kyle sent her out, while I returned with the manager.”
“Alright, you may leave now.” Ben took the teapot and checked it. Then, he brought it to Zachary and said, “You’ve
heard everything.”
“That’s very kind of her.” Looking at the teapot, Zachary remembered Nancy’s gentle and affectionate gaze. He
could not help but lament, “If only Charlotte can be that nice to me…”
“That’s really thoughtful of Ms. Gold.” Ben poured a cup of tea. “It’s green tea, which is good for your stomach.
Why don’t you have a try?”
Zachary took the cup and sniffed the tea. It was obvious that the tea leaves were of high quality. As he had been
taking his medication for a long time, his stomach condition worsened. Each time he drank, he would be in much
pain afterward.
As he had never told anyone about it, he did not expect Nancy to actually notice such minor details.
“I didn’t say anything!”
Ben was starting to feel fearful now, worried that Zachary would overthink.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Actually, if one is attentive enough, one will find out.” Zachary lifted the cup and took a sip. He praised, “The tea
tastes good. It has been prepared very well.”
“There’s still someone who cares about you,” said Ben gently. “Each time after you drink, your stomach would hurt
so much that you can’t sleep at night. Doesn’t it feel much better after drinking some tea?”
Zachary did not say anything. Instead, he stared at the cup and fell into deep thought.
At that moment, he received a message on his phone. When he glanced at it, he saw that Nancy had just sent him
a video.
In the video, beautiful fireworks were exploding in the night sky at Baykeep’s beach.
The smoke rose to the sky and formed the words, You must be happy!
There was even a cute smiling emoji at the end, which reminded one of Nancy’s gentle smile.
The nice spot which Nancy referred to was actually a surprise for him on the beach. When she noticed the
sorrowful look in his eyes, she did not probe about it. Instead, she wanted to create a romantic surprise to make
him smile…
