Daphne was pleasantly surprised and picked the cat up, quite inexplicably feeling much more grounded.
She missed him too, so much.
Daphne, of course, was pleasantly surprised and sweetly surprised, and became much more comfortable with cooking.
The love she was unconsciously radiating at the moment could have filled her heart or even overflowed into the air around her.
Separated from each other, Zak stayed by himself for a few days, and one after another, he started to take up some shoots again, not for any other reason than he was used to staying with Daphne, and he would feel lonely, missed, and out of place when he was alone.
She had long ago transferred back all of the assets that Daphne had transferred to her, and had also long ago told her who she was shortly after her awakening, telling her that she was the founder of a clothing company.
"Zakky if you miss me feel free to call me anytime, send me a message, I'll get back to you no mat
Zak flinched, tilted his head to his right, and was surprised to see the familiar side of his face.To make her happy, to make her like...But this time Zak didn't proceed with the deep kiss, he just raised his hand to rub the back of Daphne's head and looked at her with downcast eyes.Just please please Zak.When a suitor asked her if she was single, she would always politely and gently say that she was still single, but that she already had an owner.She looked lost in thought, completely caught up in the memories of that year.They pulled up to a black sedan and the short-haired woman unlocked the door and Daphne got in the passenger side."I've watched it over and over again, and I envy her so much for being there for Zakky during such a wonderful time for you ...." Zak snapped back to Daphne's voice right beside her, very, very close."Daphne, look to your left."What's the point of accepting and opening a gift, and
"Earlier, it was my mistake that caused our separation. At that time, Zakky had his own life, and I had no right to interfere. But now, that won't happen again. I'll love him well."After the interview, Daphne returned home and was immediately questioned by Zak about her comments, particularly her revelation that she had liked Zak first in high school.Zak had always believed he was the first to develop feelings, thinking that Daphne's affection for him only grew after Zak's confession."When did you start liking me?" Zak asked."It's been very, very early," Daphne replied.Daphne then began to recount to Zak her internal journey of falling in love back then.Daphne first noticed Zak during their freshman year of high school. Zak was tall and stood behind her during the drills.Her initial impression of Zak was one of striking beauty and a cold voice, resembling an aloof runway model. He had a reserved temperament and seemed untouchab
At the edge of the school yard, Zak hangs out by the gate. The afternoon sun in Utah gives everything a warm vibe, but Zak's world is often colder. Zak, who comes from an orphanage background, often finds himself on the outskirts of social circles. However, there's a notable exception – Daphne. She adding color to his life. As the school day ends and lockers close, Zak sees Daphne carrying a bunch of papers. A breeze rolls through, making her hair dance. She throws up a hand to fix it, then shoots Zak a smile. The sun's giving her white outfit a glow, making her look fresh, kinda like moonlight. Zak's hooked, thinking everything in the world is just a backdrop for Daphne. "What's up with the stare-down? Didn't I tell you to bounce?" she asked. "I got some stuff to handle too." "Got it." Daphne hands Zak some of the papers, saying, "Zakky, check these at home. It's the paperwork I grabbed from Mr. Howe." Zak takes it, then hesitates before saying: "Daphne..." "Yeah?" "It's n
"The orphanage superintendent must have already filled you in on everything, right?" the man remarked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Yes," Zak replied calmly, keeping his gaze fixed on the table. It turns out the man Zak just spotted is actually his family's butler, or you could say, a member of his newly discovered family. He has been sent to find Zak and bring him back to his family.Handing the documents to Zak, he simply said, "Take it." Zak swiftly scanned through the few pages. The contents clearly detailed his birth, how he was taken away by a stranger, and later left at the orphanage after the kidnapper's death. As the butler observed him, he grew increasingly uneasy with each passing moment. The butler was well aware of Zak's parents' attitude towards him, and as a result, his own demeanor towards Zak lacked hint of respect.In that moment, Zak felt like an object on display, casually scrutinized by the man. Methodically organizing the papers, Zak locked eyes with hi
Encountering someone with such an uncanny resemblance would make anyone uncomfortable, and Zak was no exception. However, unlike Juelz Vanderose's aversion, Zak remained calm, shifting his gaze away as he began to eat. "Who might you be?" Juelz loosened his tie and casually tossed it onto the sofa. He then stood beside Zak, gazing down at him, scrutinizing him for a moment before bursting into a disdainful chuckle. "Did you get your face done to look like me? How much did it cost?" Juelz was dressed in a sleek black suit, his hair perfectly styled, a smile gracing his refined face, though there was a hint of arrogance in his brows and eyes. He proudly held a golden trophy in his hand. Zak finished chewing his food and replied, "This is my natural face." His nonchalant attitude and their striking resemblance led Juelz to speculate, and his expression turned cold. "While I can still keep my composure, get out immediately." Zak calmly finished the rest of his meal, then turned a
As the soft glow of light gently cast shadows on Zak's fair face, he looked somewhat melancholic. Putting his book aside, he gracefully stood up and opened the door, his expression becoming serene, hiding any visible emotions.Unaware that Benton Vanderose had arranged Zak's living quarters, Samantha Elliott presumed it was Zak's own choice. She disapproved and said, "There's a bigger room upstairs, yet you insist on staying in this small one. You have to get rid of undesirable habits you've picked up outside, do you understand?"With lowered eyes and a gentle tone, Zak replied, "I understand, Mom."Samantha Elliott gently ruffled Juelz's hair and reminded him, "Remember to go to school tomorrow. At school, don't cause any trouble for Juelz. Juelz is different from you. Don't exploit your resemblance to him for anything else.""I've transferred your living expenses to your card. Mrs. Sears, give it to him."As Samantha Elliott spoke, Zak listened in silence, accepting the bank card ha
Zak hesitated slightly, then softly replied after a while, "C." She sneered, "I know you were the top student in another school, but you're too arrogant. How could you choose option C for this question? Sit down." Mocking laughter filled the classroom. Zak sat down, rotated the pen in his hand, and looked at the answer B on his notebook. He started calculating the next question expressionlessly. "Juelz, you tell us, which option do you choose?" The teacher asked. The question was difficult, and Juelz couldn't find the answer among the given options. However, Zak had already ruled out option C for him. Though uncertain, Juelz smiled and took a guess, "B." "Very good, indeed the top of the grade. Sit down." She praised Juelz and then pointed at Zak, "Look at Juelz, the top student, and then look at you." Her words were filled with disdain. Zak heard the footsteps approaching him and decided to alter his course. When the teacher came closer and looked at his notebook, her express
The man's expression turned rigid, and all his concern vanished. He lingered momentarily before delivering a cold directive, "There's a first aid kit in the living room. Don't let others think we mistreat you." Unconcerned about the origin of his injuries, he made his way up the stairs. "I'm sorry." Benton Vanderose paused in his steps, turning to look back. His brows furrowed as he observed the delicate, somewhat pitiable figure, his lips maintaining a forced smile. Facing the refrigerator, the young man's gaze dropped, his lips still carrying a strained smile. The distinct marks of five fingers were imprinted on his cheek, clearly the aftermath of a powerful blow. A sense of unease welled up within Benton Vanderose, perhaps a mixture of regret and the familiar resemblance between the young man's face and Juelz's - a sight that tugged at his heart. He proceeded up the staircase with a stern expression, entering Juelz's room. Amidst the cacophony of crashing items from the upsta
