Enthralled By Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

The next day, when Lucy and Bob came to visit Hazel, she was still fast asleep. She was woken up by the doorbell ringing, so she went to open the door groggily and went back to lie on the bed.Lucy looked around and asked, "Where is Zac?""Asleep in his room," she replied in a daze. After getting off the Ferris wheel, they went to see a movie and didn't come home until midnight."I just saw that he isn't in the room. He must be out." Lucy paused and added casually, "You two didn't sleep together?"Upon hearing Lucy's words, Hazel became wide awake, scared. While she was thinking about how to answer, she suddenly heard Bob's voice. "You didn't have a fight with Zac, did you?" he asked."No, we are completely fine." Hazel quickly came up with an excuse. "I don't really sleep well at night. I either snatch the quilt from him or kick him out of the bed. Because of that, he can't sleep well beside me and it has affected his work. So we decided to sleep

Zac's room's door was still closed. He showed no signs of coming out.Even though Hazel was sure he would have locked it from inside, she twisted the handle. Surprisingly, it wasn't locked! She then peeped inside, trying to see what Zac was doing.It was already evening and the sky was dim, making the room extremely dark. Zac was standing in front of the window, motionless, like a lifeless thing. The night wind blew inside through the window, swaying the curtains. However, Zac stood firm on the ground, unperturbed by the wild wind. Nothing could arouse his reaction because his heart was in a much worse condition.Although his face was hidden from her view, she could imagine the gloom that would be etched on his face. Her presence didn't bring any reaction from him either.She cut an orange into pieces and sneaked inside."Zac, I'm back. Would you like to have some oranges?"But he turned a deaf ear to her."This orange is so sweet and

"First of all, you are my wife. Even if I bought the house, you legally own half of it. The law will protect you from anyone who wants to take away that right, including me. Second, if you had shared your apartment with me, I would be worried about my sleeping place all the time, so where will I get the time and energy to invest in the stock market? Finally, you're my lucky charm in choosing which stocks to invest in. Without you, I probably would be suffering losses in the stock exchange. Now, do you still think you'd be freeloading by living here rent-free? All of those reasons perfectly justify your stay here,"Zac spoke in a slow, unhurried manner, and his voice wove a bewitching melody in Hazel's ears. It put her in a hypnotic trance; the more he spoke, the more she was convinced of the logic of such an arrangement.After all, she did make a significant contribution to Zac's success. Without her, he still would have been living as a penniless hobo. He would not ha

Zac was shocked. Now, he finally understood what the little fool was up to. Apparently, she thought that he was going to sell himself so he can buy the house, and she came to rescue him. He saw her in an entirely different light.Even though she looked delicate and weak, deep in her heart, she was actually full of courage and would dare to pierce the sky if needed."This is my aunt," explained he as he leaned to her ear, in case she was planning to say something more earth shaking."Aunt?" Hazel said, shocked. "She is your aunt?" she repeated, still unable to believe it."Yes," Zac said with a nod.What a huge mistake she had made!Hazel was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to dig a hole and crawl inside it to hide herself. In fact, if there was ateleportation station beside her, she would definitely jump into it without hesitation and go straight to wherever it may take her and never return.Marci Rong knew what she mean

"What the hell!"Zac cursed loudly as he took out his phone. When he looked at the caller ID on his screen, he saw that it was Leila calling him.He was just about to hang up the phone when Essie took the phone and said, "Take the call," as she slid her fingers to answer it. She proceeded to walk away to give them some space to talk."Zac! I just had an accident and got injured. I'm in the hospital and I don't know anyone else from this city. I'm scared. Can you please come over?"Zac was silent for a few moments, before he finally said, "Okay."Upon hearing what Zac said, Essie's heart sank with disappointment and utter dejection. She suddenly felt a hint of regret that she picked up the phone."I'll be back as soon as I can." He stroked her hair feeling a bit disheartened. He was unsure if his actions made her feel any better but he also didn't have the time to console her.Essie faced away and pursed her lips together. Her anxietie
