Fortunately, at that moment, a waiter brought the dishes into the private room, finally easing the atmosphere.
Zoya looked at the Marabotara home–style dishes on the table, and her eyes welled up slightly.
Then, she started eating the food.
The restaurant Wren brought her to was a top–tier restaurant in Marabotara.
Although the dishes were indeed very good, they seemed to be slightly different from the taste in her memory.
“What’s wrong? Doesn’t it taste good?” Wren suddenly asked.
Zoya was startled, not expecting Wren to be so perceptive. “No, it’s pretty good.”
“But your expression doesn’t suggest you’re very satisfied,” Wren said, “If you don’t like the food here, we can go somewhere
else.”
Zoya said, “No. It’s just a meal. There’s no need to be so particular. Besides, this is one of the best restaurants in Marabotara.
“The dishes are much more refined than what my parents and I used to eat at smaller places.”
Yet, inexplicably, she missed the taste of that kind of food.
“Your brother…” Wren’s eyes flickered slightly. “I haven’t heard you talk about him much.”
“He went missing five years ago.” Zoya’s expression darkened.
Even though five years had passed, and many people told her that her brother might be dead, she didn’t believe it.
As long as his body wasn’t found, she believed that he was still alive.
Zoya said, changing the subject, “By the way, during my time as your bodyguard, are there any precautions or things I should know?
“Mr. Richmond, you might as well tell me now.”
Wren said, “As I mentioned, for these three months, you can first take care of your affairs in Marabotara.
“Then, use your remaining free time to ensure my safety. Of course, if I have any social engagements to attend, you will need to accompany me.”
Zoya nodded and replied, “Okay, no problem.”
Although she had never served as a bodyguard in the military, she had undertaken escort missions, so this job should not be difficult for her.
“Also, the most important point…” Wren paused slightly. “No matter what happens, you must not abandon me.”
Zoya nearly choked on the soup in her mouth.
She thought, ‘Wren is so afraid of being abandoned.
“The previous times he asked me to be his bodyguard were also because he felt I didn’t abandon him in times of crisis.
It is as if he had been abandoned so many times that he was terrified of it.

He used to be the heir of the Richmond family and now holds the highest position in the Richmond family.
Who would dare abandon a man like this?‘
“Of course!” Zoya replied readily.
Since she was going to protect him, she naturally wouldn’t leave him behind.
Wren heard this, and a smile played on his lips. “Then it’s a deal!”

His originally cold and indifferent handsome face softened considerably because of the faint smile at the corner of his lips.
Zoya thought, ‘His smile reminds me of the Spring!”
At that moment, she couldn’t tear her eyes away from him.

Daphne suddenly sneered, “If I told Wren right now that you deliberately pushed me, broke my glasses, and hurt my eyes, how do you think he’d treat you?”
As she spoke, she suddenly took off her glasses and smashed them against the sink.
A crash echoed as the expensive–looking, gold–rimmed glasses broke apart, their frames snapped, and their lenses shattered.
“Do you know that Wren cares about my eyes the most?” Daphne said.
She never used to care much about the women who appeared around Wren.
She knew Wren wouldn’t love anyone. Those women were merely deluding themselves.
So, even if Wren didn’t love her, she didift feel too sad.
She could wait. Her patience had always been very good.
But this time, Zoya gave her a sense of crisis. Daphne had never seen Wren hold a woman’s hand.
However, today, Wren went to the private room holding Zoya’s hand.
The unease in Daphne’s heart reminded her that she could not let Zoya continue to be by Wren’s side and had to find a way to eliminate her.
Otherwise, things might exceed her control.
Therefore, she would have to try the despicable methods she usually disdained.
What puzzled her was that Zoya showed no fear on her face. Instead, she flipped the phone in her hand, which was originally face down, to face up.
The screen showed that she was on a call with Wren.
Daphne was suddenly startled. “You called Wren?” she said while rushing over to grab the phone.
Zoya stepped aside and pressed the speakerphone button. “You heard everything, right?”
Wren’s cool voice came from the phone, “I did.”
