Chapter204
Josephine answered each question one by one.
Suddenly, Zachery called out to her: “Josephine, come here for a moment.‘
Natalia, quick–witted as ever, slid off Josephine’s lap and nestled into Liora’s arms.
Josephine walked into the kitchen. “What’s up?”
With both hands wet, Zachery said to Josephine, “Could you help me take off my watch and roll up my sleeves?”
“Sure,” Josephine agreed readily.
The shirt cuff’s button was on one side.
She turned Zachery’s hand slightly, unbuttoned the cuff, and rolled it up layer by layer.
She remembered reading somewhere: a man’s forearms are equivalent to sex appeal.
Josephine looked at Zachery’s forearms–well–defined, pale skin, veins standing out clearly, full of strength and masculinity.
She couldn’t help but think, not so innocently, of how Zachery could pin a woman’s wrists to the bed with just one hand-
Stop! Stop!
She hadn’t expected that ever since she helped Zachery with his medicine last time, her thoughts about him had become so indecent…
But thinking was one thing; she could control herself not to tease or touch him.
It’s normal for adults to desire beautiful bodies; as long as you can control yourself, your character isn’t really in question.
Zachery gazed at Josephine with deep, calm eyes.
Seeing her patiently help him roll up his sleeves, he couldn’t suppress the smile at the corners of
his mouth.

She must like him at least a little, right?

Henry, who was invincible in matters of love, always said that a woman’s body is the most honest.
If she allowed intimate behavior, it meant she was looking forward to it deep down…
After rolling up his sleeves, Josephine helped Zachery take off his watch.
Unexpectedly, the two couple’s watches appeared together in the same frame.
Josephine remembered what Patricia had said: “What if Dr. Maynard falls in love with you?”
After Patricia returned the watch to her, Zachery hadn’t worn his watch again without knowing.
But once she started wearing her watch again, Zachery also wore his every day.
Was it just a coincidence? Or… did Zachery really like her?!
It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed across her heart, and Josephine lost her peace of mind.
Without betraying any emotion, she quietly placed Zachery’s watch in the kitchen storage compartment.
She asked Zachery, “Is there anything else you need help with?”
Zachery said, “You just go outside and wait to eat.

Josephine left the kitchen, nodding her head ever so slightly.
“Dr. Maynard, please don’t take me too seriously… If what you want from me is love, I’m sorry, I can’t give it to you!”

Josephine returned to the living room, and Liora handed her a fruit platter.
She thanked her, then slowly chewed a piece of cantaloupe she picked up with a fruit fork.
Liora asked with a friendly smile, “When is your birthday?”
Josephine answered truthfully, “October 8th.”
In just a few days, she would be turning thirty.
A hint of surprise appeared on Liora’s face.

Liora then asked Josephine for her phone number, ID number, and even her bank card number…
But none of the answers were what she was looking for.
She muttered to herself in confusion, “That can’t be right, Dalton said his beloved is 1107?”
11072
Josephine was familiar with this set of numbers.
It was Zachery’s WhatsApp name, as well as the password for his phone and door lock.
She finally understood why Liora was so persistent in asking her about numbers.
But she still couldn’t quite figure it out.
1107 should be related to Natalia’s mother, right? Why would Liora try to connect it to her?
“You might be mistaken, 1107 has nothing to do with me. Maybe it’s related to Natalia’s biological mother…”
Before Josephine could finish, Liora waved her hand with a smile:
“Absolutely impossible. Zachery has no feelings whatsoever for Natalia’s biological mother.
That made it all the more suggestive.
If he had no feelings for Natalia’s mother, then why did he have Natalia?
And yet he still harbored feelings for someone else?
She had thought Dr. Maynard was absolutely perfect.
Turns out his heart wasn’t so pure after all.
But this just proved that Zachery hadn’t fallen in love with her.
And she would never fall in love with Zachery.
She just happened to like Zachery’s… body.
Josephine cleared her throat and popped another piece of cantaloupe into her mouth.
The first piece had tasted sweet, but why did the second one taste sour, as if it wasn’t ripe?
