Yaritza expressed her concerns, saying, "Please, take a moment. You're intelligent, and you should understand that we're not compatible and it wouldn't work."Zachary gazed at Yaritza with seriousness and replied, "There's something unique about you that I've been searching for in others for many years." He lifted his head, casting his thoughts to the bare ceiling as memories of the landscapes he had encountered throughout his life surfaced in his mind.Yaritza quietly observed Zachary, waiting for him to continue.Zachary deliberated silently for a while before sharing his thoughts, "There are certain things that can be decided using logic and reason, and some that elude rational determination. For me, the best path forward would be to find a partner abroad who possesses both wealth and a suitable background, creating a strong alliance through marriage. Such a union can offer significant support from influential families and prestigious lineages. It is a choice often made by noble fa
Yaritza quietly gazed at Zachary, waiting for his response, without expecting an immediate answer. Zachary seemed deep in thought, wearing a perplexed expression on his face.After a moment of concentration, Zachary began to count on his fingers, listing Yaritza's qualities: "You're beautiful, pleasant to the eye, graceful, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable about life." He paused briefly before continuing, "But what matters most is the warmth I feel when I'm by your side. There's a special quality about you that subconsciously influences my thoughts and emotions, providing a sense of protection." As he waved his hand dismissively, he added, "I remember the moment when you handed me the flower..." His voice trailed off, and he noticed Yaritza's puzzled expression, realizing that she might be thinking about Dalilah Vasquez. Zachary then said, "Although it may sound cliché, it genuinely brings me joy and happiness from within. Moreover, when I visited your office and you asked if I needed
"He didn't look for her, but he got involved in the mess himself and said, 'Find someone who understands the root of people's searching, this type of person is dangerous and can resist a hundred times stronger than ordinary people.'" Zachary said as Dalilah Vasquez lifted her clawed hand and grabbed his arm. Dalilah Vasquez pretended to be angry and said, "So you're blaming Yaritza for this?"Zachary exclaimed, "He also said some hurtful things."Dalilah Vasquez glared at Zachary and said, "Do you really think he doesn't know how to defend himself? But he's quietly building up enemies for you. Do you know that?""I know, I know, that's why I'm asking you to take him away to celebrate the New Year with our family. Recently, dealing with the old man's happiness, secondly, he has many places to go, so that I don't have to worry and feel tired. I apologize to him on your behalf.""Yes, turn around and talk to him about it." Jared took charge inside the house, and outside the house, Jared
Yaritza listened attentively as she glanced at Zachary, her eyes filled with admiration and surprise. She realized that Zachary's invitation for her to spend the New Year at the Winthrop family's home had more to it than met the eye. However, she didn't expect Zachary to be so audacious as to arrange for her to stay in a separate wing of the main house, rather than in the main residence. The wing was not particularly spacious, with a courtyard spanning approximately forty square meters. It was adorned with several small bonsai trees in the corners, while a majestic national crane tree stood proudly at its center. The rooms in the wing were interconnected, forming what could be called a "Grand Bedroom." This area consisted of a living room, a dining room, a bathroom, and a master bedroom, separated from the main house by a partition.As Yaritza followed Zachary into the house, she surveyed her surroundings and couldn't help but question him, "Why did you choose to keep your family sepa
Zachary didn't need to socialize outside. He spent his days by Seth's side, observing the servants and attendants bustling around, taking care of the young master. They were obedient, bringing him snacks and treats, which made him feel comfortable. He was also occupied himself with a recent overseas company investment, and he was concerned about potential mistakes. Although he didn't actively participate in the company's operations in his home country, he needed to attend meetings and make decisions, requiring him to personally oversee the process.Every time Zachary thought about leaving Yaritza in the United States, he felt frustrated. He had invited Yaritza to come home and celebrate the New Year, but they rarely had quality time together. Yaritza was always busy taking care of Alani and seemed to drink alcohol every day. When they returned home, Yaritza's captivating fragrance filled the air. Her refined and alluring beauty, especially when she was bathing, with the subtle aroma o
Zachary fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up, he still lay on the bed, reluctant to get up. Yaritza was not there anymore. He reached out to check the clock on the bedside table and realized it was already noon. He got out of bed and sat on the edge, his gaze absent-mindedly shifting around the room. Suddenly, he noticed something inappropriate and focused on it. Yaritza's local luggage was missing! Zachary's eyes widened in surprise. He quickly got dressed and went outside, where he met the housekeeper, Adi. He asked, "Is Graham gone?"Adi replied, "Graham left in the morning.""For a few hours?""Around 7:30, approximately."What does Yaritza mean by this? He just turned his head and looked at Alani on the sofa. He walked over to Alani and sat down next to her, asking, 'Did Yaritza say anything to you?''Yes, she did. She said the company has an early opening event, so she left early to prepare.' Alani glanced at Zachary, asking, 'Why? Did she not tell you?'Looking at his ex
Zachary stepped out of the car, feeling the cold wind immediately seep into his collar, causing him to shiver. He quickly pulled up his collar to shield himself from the chilly weather and muttered to himself, "It's freezing to be running towards the river in this weather." He tucked his hands into his pockets to protect them from the wind. Noticing that Yaritza hadn't noticed him and wasn't chasing after him, he cautiously followed him from behind, preparing to surprise him.On the upper embankment, there stood a man facing away from the cold wind, enjoying the scenery. His hands were buried in the pockets of his windbreaker, and his wavy hair flowed down. He had wrapped himself tightly in the windbreaker that reached his knees, trying to ward off the cold. However, the biting wind seemed to penetrate through. Zachary couldn't help but find the figure attractive and took a moment to admire him. But then, he noticed another man approaching Yaritza from the other side and exclaimed, "C
Twilight settled in at six o'clock when Yaritza heard the doorbell ring. From inside the room, he looked towards the flower shop and saw a young man holding a bouquet standing at the entrance. Following his instincts, he glanced at Zachary's building. Yaritza went to the entrance, received the flowers, and opened the attached card. The card depicted the Canadian landscape with blue skies, white clouds, and the Potala Palace in the distance, creating a dreamy and hazy image.Yaritza murmured to himself, "Is this Zachary's sweet talk or is he being sincere?" He took the card and the flowers and headed back to his room. Regardless of whether Zachary's words were sincere or just sweet talk, they all seemed foolish.Chase Christensen looked at Yaritza bringing in the bouquet, placing the card on the table, and smiled as he looked at him without actually smiling. He said, "You mean something to him."Yaritza glanced at Chase Christensen and asked, "What do I mean to you usually?" His voice
