Chapter46
“Let’s wait and see,” Zachary said thoughtfully.
“Cristofer was just testing, and didn’t have any solid evidence.”
“We couldn’t mess ourselves up.”
“I would send more people to protect you, and I would also send someone to find out why Cristofer came to Mossvale.”
“And, how much did he actually know about ‘Gabrielle‘.”
He had to take the initiative.
“Yeah.” Gabrielle nodded, totally trusting his plan.
The car sped all the way back to the villa at Cedarley Estates.
Zachary immediately made a few calls and gave out a series of tasks in a brief, commanding tone.
After he hung up the phone, he looked at Gabrielle, his eyes gentle again.
“Alright, stop overthinking.”
“I handled anything big.”
“Your most important job right now was just to happily be my Mrs. Monroe.”
He ruffled her hair and said in a doting tone.
Gabrielle looked at him, feeling full of gratitude and love.

This man was always her strongest support.
“I went to run the bath.”
Gabrielle stood up, wanted him to relax a bit.
“Together.”
But Zachary grabbed her, his eyes turning intense.
The tension and excitement tonight made a certain desire in him even stronger.
Gabrielle’s cheeks turned red, and her heart started beating faster.
She saw the undisguised desire in his eyes and didn’t refuse.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.
This kiss had comfort, dependence, and a hint of teasing.
Zachary’s response was even more intense and bossy.
He picked her up in his arms and strode to the bathroom.
Under the night, Cedarley Estates villa was shrouded in misty steam in the bathroom, filled with a dreamy warmth.
Zachary gently put Gabrielle, who was in his arms, into the warm
water.
Droplets of water slid down her fair skin, tracing out graceful curves.
Zachary’s eyes were dark, and he leaned down to kiss her lips.
Different from the urgency at the door just now, this kiss was gentle and lingering.

With comfort, with cherishing, and with deep, overwhelming passion.
Gabrielle closed her eyes, feeling the shivers and comfort he brought.
The thrills of this night seemed to fade away in his arms.
The stars outside were shining bright, and inside, spring was everywhere.
At the same time, far away in Balamora, the Goldstein’s villa.
The atmosphere was as cold as an ice cellar.
It was already late at night, but the light in Timothy’s room was still on.
But he didn’t take a break. Instead, he sat at his desk with a photo album open in front of him.
In the album, there were photos of Gabrielle.
From the innocence and naivety of youth, to the gentle calmness after growing up.
Every photo recorded her once vivid presence.
Timothy’s fingers trembled as they touched the smiling face of the girl in the photo.
There was deep, overwhelming regret and pain in his eyes.
Ever since that ridiculous “marriage for good luck,” his life had turned into a complete farce.
Cecilia, the woman he once thought could bring him something new and exciting.
After she really became Mrs. Goldstein, her vulgar nature was completely exposed.

Before marriage, she would still pretend to be gentle, caring, and understanding.
After getting married, she seemed like a completely different person, or maybe this was her true colors showing.
She didn’t hide her vanity and greed anymore.
Holding the supplementary card from the Goldstein family, I went crazy buying luxury goods.
