NovelEnglishIt sounded to Particia like Isaac was unwilling to marry Adeline. However, she didn’t comment on it
since she was only his secretary and had no right to meddle in his private matters. At that moment, he
felt that she was docile, but her silence reminded him of the time when he asked her to be his girlfriend
but was rejected. He was troubled at how clueless this woman was toward his feelings.
When they reached Spago Restaurant, the driver parked the car in the car park and opened the door
for them. Patricia followed behind Isaac as they walked into the private dining room. The room wasn’t
too big and was perfect for two people. While he was ordering food, she got up and went to the
washroom. It was when she was washing her hands at the sink that she heard a familiar voice.
“Tricia…”
The next instant, a gentle voice was heard. When she looked into the mirror, she saw Zachary standing
at the side. He was beaming, and his face was flushed red, likely from the liquor he had consumed.

of hand towel before drying them.
Spago Restaurant was a famous restaurant that only served its members, so not anyone could dine
there. Suddenly, Zachary grabbed her by the arm and replied, “I’m having dinner with my family. I’ll
bring you to see them.”
Before she could make sense of the situation, she was led into one of the private rooms, which was
packed with kids and adults. Their entrance caught everyone’s attention, and Madam Selwyn looked
displeased as she got up and walked toward them.
“Zach, why is she here?”
Madam Selwyn looked elegant as she was donned in a pastel green dress with delicate makeup on,
and she was wearing a set of luxurious necklaces and earrings.
Hearing that, Zachary smiled. “Mom, I brought her here to meet all of you.”
Patricia felt embarrassed as Madam Selwyn had met her before and offered her some money, asking
her to leave Zachary’s side. However, she refused to accept the money and promised that she wouldn’t
go anywhere near him. Their meeting today made it seem like she had broken her promise.
“Madam Selwyn, it just so happened that I’m having dinner here. I bumped into Zachary outside the
washroom, and he seemed drunk,” Patricia explained as she tried to retract her hand, but he gripped it
tightly while smiling at her.
“Tricia, I won’t let go of you.”
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Madam Selwyn suddenly mentioned, “Tricia, this is
Miss Turnbull who will be marrying Zachary. Both of our families are meeting for dinner tonight.”
Hearing that, Patricia looked over at a beautiful lady who was donned in a white dress and seated next
to an empty chair. The lady was staring at Zachary. Patricia soon realized that it was an arranged
marriage. No wonder he got so drunk and acted inappropriately, she thought to herself. She was

“Zachary, let go of my hand. My friend is still waiting for me.” She tapped on his hand, which was
grabbing onto hers.
All she wanted to do was to leave, as Madam Selwyn would definitely hate her to the core if she ruined
the night. Zachary, on the other hand, had his gaze fixated on her and refused to let go.
“Tricia, the woman I want to marry is…”
Before he could complete his sentence, Patricia was pulled away from him.
“Patricia, why are you here? Dinner is served,” the man with a tall figure uttered coldly with a grim
expression before scanning the people in the room.
