The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 2469 Worshiped

The air was still for a moment.

Selena came back to her senses and realized that she was too close to Zachary.

She quickly moved her toes to push the swing back.

However, Zachary suddenly pulled the chain forward. He looked persistent and stared at her without blinking.

He seemed to be exploring the answer on her face.

"Selena?"

Selena coughed, looked away, and calmed down her beating heart.

She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and regained her composure.

"Zach, don't be impulsive. You shouldn't be hung up on me because I rejected you back then. I know exactly what

I'm worth."

Zachary was a firefighter, but he was not from a simple family.

In that dinner with Eric, Zachary was able to sit among the big shots and maintain his composure with ease as if no

one else was there. This showed that he would return to his original position after all.

Even if he was in a relationship, he would have to find someone who matched him.

Selena did not want to be chucked aside after being played with.

She was not that stupid.

Selena was mostly moved because she had not been with a man for so long. Thus, her hormones caused her

palpitations and tremors when such an eligible bachelor confessed his love to her.

However, after she calmed down, she knew that they were not well- matched.

Selena just came out of a failed marriage, so she must not fall into this vortex of feelings.

However, Eric’s face appeared in her mind at this time.

It made her frustrated.

Thinking of the way they parted ways earlier, Selena felt suffocated.

She felt that she would never step into Eric's territory again.

What the hell!

Zachary’s words pulled her back from her thoughts.

His voice was light, but his dark eyes were very serious.

"Hung up on you? I am indeed, but you're so beautiful like a goddess. I feel blasphemous even when I think about

you. You also have your own business, which is a hundred times better than me as a firefighter. In terms of

qualifications, I am indeed not good enough for you. But I have a good figure. I hope you won't look down on me. I'll

be devoted to you and worship you, and I'll never toy around with you."

Selena did not expect that Zachary would say this.

She froze.

How did she become a goddess?

However, being worshiped was a nice feeling.

Selena suddenly changed her mind and examined Zachary. He was serious and sincere, and he did not look like he

was lying.

Right, lying.

Selena suddenly thought of another thing.

She coughed calmly and said, "But didn't you hide something from me? I will consider your proposal, but you're not

honest enough!"

When he helped her with the bar back then, she thanked him many times.

However, it was all Eric's efforts.

She thanked the wrong person, and Eric ridiculed her for it.

Selena did not forget about this.

If Zachary did not come clean, it meant that he was too good at acting.

Then, his pursuit was just part of his act.

He paused.

Zachary was silent for a moment. Then, he raised his dark eyes to stare at her again.

His voice was clear but tinged with a bit of guilt as he said sincerely, "Are you talking about the reopening of the

bar? I must admit that someone else told Mr. Cohen about it and lifted the order of suspension. That person wasn’t

me. I can only help you within my limits, which is to purchase the equipment and ensure that your bar passes the

inspection as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head and chuckled.

"I've been pressured because of this lately. When you thank me every time, it feels like I'm sitting on pins and

needles. It wasn't my intention to take someone else's credit, but I thought that it was worth it because you'd think

about me more."

Zachary put himself in a very humble position.

Selena, who had the upper hand, became a little distressed.

This was unexpected!

She did not know that she was that charming.

Suddenly, Selena felt like she was floating on cloud nine.

That matter did not seem so important anymore.

Selena pondered and said, "Oh, forget it. I wanted to scold you for this matter, but now I have no reason to scold

you."

Zachary hooked his lips and smiled nonchalantly.

"Who helped? Let me guess... Is it the influential Eric Ferguson?" "How do you know?" "I guessed it when we had

dinner together that day. I couldn’t think of anyone other than Eric Ferguson who could solve the problem with one

sentence. What, did Mr. Ferguson speak ill of me behind my back? Did he want you to stay away from me?"

Selena’s eyelids trembled slightly, as if she was a little shocked that Zachary’s guess was so accurate.

Before Selena could answer, Zachary chuckled with a bit of disdain.

However, what he said was completely opposite to the expression on his face.

"Mr. Ferguson is indeed influential. He is righteous and frank. He truly is a rare and exemplary man."

Selena frowned when she heard this and looked at Zachary suspiciously.

This was unpleasant to hear.

That description had nothing to do with Eric, right?

Once again, she felt that Zachary had a much better character than Eric.

At least, Zachary did not say anything bad about Eric.

What a great example of being the bigger person!

Selena pursed her lips and did not continue the topic.

Zachary observed her micro-expressions and immediately flashed a relaxed smile.

The next second, Zachary brought the topic back again. He had a gentle smile on his face.

"Selena, do you have any doubts now? Other than that, I have nothing to hide from you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

The temperature of the air suddenly rose from the sexual tension between them.

Selena's smile faltered slightly, and she silently glanced into the distance.

She really wanted to agree with him, but she could see her heart clearly. She wanted to have a normal relationship,

but she also knew that she did not love Zachary.

Selena could not drag an innocent person into the water for herself.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly. Her delicate face was pale and guilty.

"Sorry, I..."

Zachary's expression changed slightly, but he quickly interrupted her.

"I knew you wouldn't agree so quickly. I was mentally prepared for it, but I just asked you on a whim and looked

forward to your answer. But you can think about it, Selena. I'm not a bad candidate. I hope my frankness can make

you let your guard down."

He smiled gently and looked a bit dejected, but he quickly regained composure.

Selena smiled uncomfortably.

It just so happened that Zachary was called away by his colleagues at this time.

Thus, he had no choice but to leave.

However, Selena was deeply relieved.

She held onto the chain and found that her palms were sweating.

Fortunately, she persisted.

Otherwise, she would not know how this would end.

At this moment, Selena was no longer in the mood to continue looking at the handsome firefighters.

She even felt that the innocent voices of children reciting were noisy.

Selena was so conflicted, but she was also happy.

Look! Even though she was a divorcee, there was still someone who liked her and worshiped her like a god, unlike

Eric, who always accused her of being delusional.

Selena was speechless because she had no interest in Eric either.
