"We're going back to the Gray Residence tonight. Grandpa wants to see you," Zachary said.Joey was already angry to begin with, as she was drowning in the canceled orders and increasing debt. She huffed when she heard Zachary.She said coldly, "I don't think it's appropriate for me to go there."Zachary, who was on the other side of the phone, stayed silent for a few seconds before bossily demanding, "We haven't divorced. It's not up to you whether you get to sit out of it."Harold and Rose had raised Zachary since he was a child due to certain reasons. Therefore, Zachary respected and treated his grandparents very well. That was why he did not object when his grandparents asked him to marry Joey.In Zachary's and Joey's three years of marriage, Zachary's understanding of marital duties consisted of two things. One was to consummate their marriage once a month, and the other was to reassure his grandparents their marriage was going strong by visiting the Gray Residence as a loving

Joey washed up and spread her blanket on the couch. She was about to lie down when a knocking sound came from the door. She bolted up and asked Zachary in a low voice, "Did you lock the door?"Zachary glanced at her and asked loudly, "What is it?"Maisie answered, "Mr. Zachary, it's me. Madam Rose prepared fresh yogurt tonight, and she asked me to take a bowl of it for Madam Joey. If you haven't slept, I'm coming in!"With a click, the door opened.Joey jumped out of the couch and quickly stuffed the blanket under the bed. She reached the bed before Maisie came to them, squeezing into Zachary's bed and pulling the covers over them.The moment Joey rushed into the bed in a hurry, she accidentally bumped her head into Zachary's chest. They groaned in pain at the sensation. They sounded pretty suggestive late into the night.Maisie, who had swiftly made her way to the bed, had to stop and ask tentatively, "Mr. Zachary, Madam Joey … May I come in?"Zachary bit back the pain. He glan

It was cold.Heart-achingly cold.Joey lay against the bathtub and fell asleep between the sensation of fire and ice.She soaked herself in cold water the whole night and remained in a daze until the next day.Before she left, she even told Maisie, "Zachary left early last night and didn't come back for the whole night. I don't know where he went. I won't wait for him anymore. I have to go to work now."She didn't care what Zachary was up to. She only wanted Maisie to inform Rose about it. Joey was telling Rose that she and Zachary didn't sleep together last night. She wasn't the one who bailed either.Joey didn't know how she managed to leave the Gray Residence. Selena was shocked by her pale face once she stood in front of Emmen Fashion. Selena asked, "What happened to you last night? Why are you looking like this?"She quickly stepped forward to hold Joey, who couldn't even stand straight on her own feet. She felt Joey's burning skin. Selena gasped, "Why did you come here whe

Selena had moved out at a young age and hadn't kept close contact with her family. She wouldn't have called Finn if things were less urgent and she could find someone else to help.To her dismay, Finn left her high and dry even though she rarely asked him for help. Selena was so angry that she sent him a voice message filled with veiled curses. Then, she blacklisted him.Joey watched this happen in speechless silence.Selena flipped her hair over her shoulder dismissively. "Don't get sympathetic on my behalf. I was adopted, so we weren't close anyway. I wouldn't have called him if I had any other choice."Joey was relieved to see there was nothing but anger in her eyes."Oh, right, Joey," Selena said, her expression turning serious. "I chose a couple of outfits for you this morning. I wasn't going to put much effort into that fashion banquet with Eastwell, but now that we're working with them, we should keep up appearances. There are going to be plenty of socialites and rich wom

Joey did not want to talk about what happened the night before, so she cut Zachary off hastily. "It has nothing to do with you."Zachary's next words faltered. His expression became cold. "Then who does it have to do with? Kent?"Joey was stunned. What did this have to do with Kent?When she didn't answer, Zachary continued sarcastically, "You're quite in demand, aren't you, Joey? You said you wanted a divorce, yet you seduced me and had Kent on the side at the same time. I didn't realize you were so good at multitasking."Joey looked at him in confusion. "I didn't seduce you."Also, Kent wasn't anyone's bit on the side.Zachary scoffed, "Then who was in bed with me last night?"Joey stared at him in disbelief. There was an uncomfortable lump in her chest. "I think you should ask your grandmother about what happened last night."There was definitely something wrong with the yogurt last night. She'd eat her hat if there wasn't.Zachary looked at her sardonically. "So what are y
