3"I know." I took out a set of clean pajamas from the closet and threw them to him. "Put them on quickly. Or you might catch a cold."Zachary slightly raised his eyebrows. "I still need underpants."I almost slipped over when I heard this. I gritted my teeth and returned to the closet to take his underwear."Don't argue with a drunk man. Calm down." I spoke to myself.I reached into the closet and threw a random pair of underpants at his face. He caught it smoothly, but when our eyes met, he collapsed on the bed weakly.Droplets of water slid down from his wet hair and damped his eyes. He looked so innocent with his watery eyes.My mouth twitched with amusement. This man could be a talented actor if he wanted."Tell me when you're done." I looked away helplessly.I waited for Zach to get dressed outside the bathroom, but suddenly, there was a dull thud from inside.I hurriedly pushed the door open and found him sitting half-naked on the floor."Are you all right? I asked wo

8"Zachary is so handsome! Why does he always wear big-framed sunglasses to cover his face? I can hardly see his perfect face clearly at all when he does that.""Isn't it obvious? Zachary is loyal to me. He will only allow me to appreciate his handsome face at our home!""Hey, your hubby last month was still Timothy Chase! You remarried so quickly.""Of course, Zachary is now my new husband."Two young girls chattered and giggled as they scrolled through photos on their phones, but a middle-aged woman beside them suddenly interrupted their dream of infatuation with handsome stars."Hey, you two, why do you call other men your hubbies so casually?"The two girls looked puzzled, and one studied the woman with disdain. "Who are you? What's wrong with you? I'm saying that my new husband is Zachary Jay, so what?""Zachary Jay is my son-in-law!"The instant she finished speaking, the two girls burst into laughter. "What a lunatic!"This middle-aged woman was my mother, Sylvie Jones

12I checked the time. It was getting late."I should go." I pointed to the shirt in the package and said, "Here's your birthday gift. See if it suits you."Zachary glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly. He suddenly chuckled, "Pay me back the interest on the membership."I rolled my eyes and refused, "No.""Cook me a meal. It's getting late anyway. You can leave after having dinner." There was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.I was touched, and my eyelashes fluttered.His diet has been a mess since Zachary's mother passed away. He would have had a stomachache if I hadn't kept an eye on him.He had been busy with work recently. Needless to say, he must be living on takeout food these days."Your refrigerator is empty. There's nothing to cook..." I was then speechless when I saw the refrigerator stuffed with food.I couldn't help looking up at Zachary. His eyes were full of pride."You've really changed. There were only a few bottles of ice water in your refrigerato

15When we got home, my mother felt sorry that Zachary had lost much weight and blamed me for it.Then, she threw me a shopping list and asked me to go out. I had no choice but to reluctantly obey.However, it was not until I reached the checkout counter that I realized that I didn't bring my wallet and phone with me.Damn."A total of 55 dollars. Cash or..." The cashier was stunned when she saw me rummaging through my pocket. She tilted her head and asked, "Miss, you...""We'll pay by Apple Cash," a familiar voice sounded behind me. I looked back and saw Zachary, who had his face covered and only revealed his smiling eyes."Didn't I tell you to wait for me? You're always so careless." Zachary reached out and ruffled my hair."Did you follow me all the way?" I leaned over and whispered."Mom was worried that you were too slight to carry the stuff, so she asked me to come and help." Zachary bent over me and said, "Eva, you're not very vigilant..."I nudged him and said with my

19Unexpectedly, after my relationship with Zachary was made public, it did not attract any criticism from the netizens. Instead, it set off a trend of digging up our story in the past.Zoe told me that it started with an anonymous post. It could be one of our classmates at high school. The post went as follows:"Zachary Jay and Eva Jones were childhood sweethearts. Their long-lasting romance started from puppy love and has now turned into a happy marriage! Let me tell you about their story from the very beginning!"They used to sit next to each other in high school, so it was normal for them to flirt with each other by arguing every day."The most shocking thing was that the two of them often got caught quarreling during class, so the teacher told their parents to settle their differences. But the parents both felt satisfied with their child's date while our teacher could only feel helpless."The two of them were both very good-looking. Here are some photos of them when they wer
