Zak stopped working, Cora was more eager and quicker to volunteer, "Sister, what can I do for you?"
"I don't care if she didn't say anything excessive, I only care if her words upset Zakky." Daphne's eyes are gentle like water, so gentle that she seems to be able to solve all her troubles and tolerate everything that belongs to her.
Daphne finished the last bit and washed her hands, turning to face Zak, "Zakky doesn't seem too happy today, what's wrong?"
Listening to her tone, Zak put down his computer and stride towards the kitchen.
Daphne looked at her fondly, the corners of her lips curling slightly as she stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on her lips.
"Daphne, did you tell her you had nothing to do with me?"
The cupboards were half-finished with sandwiches, Daphne held her back, turned around to indicate the back of her waist, and whispered, "The straps on my robe seem to be a little loose, they're about to fall off, and I've got ketchu
Zak didn't know she was mentally flirting with herself like that, and whispered in her ear, "She likes you, though."The kitchen was semi-open, not soundproof, and Daphne spoke in a whisper, which surprisingly gave her a sense of two people having a rendezvous.Damn, Cora felt like she'd been punched in the face by herself."Well, that's good."Now that she'd made someone happy again, it gave Daphne the confidence that she could kiss."Wouldn't that be a bit too revealing to be intimidated by their bar, then...I'm courting you."Couldn't figure out what there was to like about people like Zak and Andres, cocky and arrogant.Cora thought Daphne was just asking Zak what he wanted to eat, and after sitting alone and teasing the cat for several minutes without seeing Zak come out, her mind began to wonder. The longer it took, the more the desire to find out soon became overwhelming, but it didn't seem necessary to get up and call Zak's name as she headed for the kitchen.Anyone who is coa
Exhaustion dissipated with her fingertips and the accompanying soft whispers. Perhaps she was indeed too tired today, as Zak's thoughts gradually drifted away.Zak withdrew her hand, said nothing, and left the room.Gradually, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and a very soft voice came from inside, calling her name, asking her to come over for a moment.Daphne didn't bother Zak to watch the movie anymore. She heated up some low-fat milk from the fridge and brought it to Zak, saying she was feeling a bit tired and wanted to rest in her room first."It hurts..."Zak brought the sanitary pad, and as the door opened slightly, Zak handed it to her, asking if this size was okay, to which she replied yes.But what could she do? She could only pamper her.Serving her master.Daphne, cunning like a fox, had been living with her for quite some time now, knowing that she only played this kind of movie when she was tired and wanted to relax and unwind, not paying too much attention to
Although they watched movies together at home every night, the feeling of going to the cinema was very different, more like a date.Although Zak only stayed with her for five minutes.It's all voluntary.She tucked the hot water bottle into her blanket and placed it on her abdomen."Just right." She leaned on the pillow, looked up at Zak, and said, "It's not so painful anymore." "Really?" Zak knew she was just saying what she wanted to hear.If there was no tenderness, then there was nothing at all?Worried whether she was indispensable to her owner, whether all her efforts had reclaimed even a tiny bit of her owner's affection.Comforted psychologically, the effects of the ibuprofen gradually kicked in, and Daphne soon fell asleep.Forget it, love and affection, she didn't understand.Before, she was eager to share, and whenever she saw something interesting or cute, she would want to send it to her WeChat and say somet
Grievously, Daphne looked at her, tears clouding her eyes. "Did I do something wrong?" she asked, her sadness palpable, enough to melt hearts, especially hers. Many times, her tears had softened Zak's heart, but now when she remembered, Zak only thought of the negatives; how could she be moved?But her eyes were sad yet affectionate, extremely gentle. "It's okay, Zakky's previous kindness towards me is enough for me to remember for a long, long time." As long as she reminisced about Zak's past kindness towards her, she could heal herself, and the void left by her wounded heart could also be filled."I can endure Zakky's retaliation."Yet Zak paid her no heed, prompting her to ask again, "What's wrong with you today? You used to let me hug you..." Daphne's words served as a reminder to Zak of her past actions. Pouring herself a glass of water at the counter, she cast a disinterested glance at her. "Next time, don't wait." Daphne shook her head resolutely, "I want to wait. Without seein
At that time, she even fantasized that her father, being so generous, would give her gifts on her birthday.Daphne didn't understand complex emotions, but she could feel that her uncle wanted to be good to her. She hoped her uncle would be firmer or, more decisively, choose her.Daphne was afraid of her mother, afraid of making her mother unhappy, afraid of being noticed by her mother. From a young age, she knew how to lower her presence, staying quiet and just doing things.She still harbored a glimmer of hope in her heart.Despite saying she didn't want to, Daphne still cried in front of her, looking very pitiful. But Zak didn't even spare her a glance."She's only five. How could we leave her alone at home?"Little Daphne didn't understand these words, but seeing her mother's fierce tone and terrifying expression, she knew she shouldn't have a birthday. Her birthday must be a terrible day that made her mother angry and unhappy."I'
Zak didn't feel guilty, just curious about how Daphne would react last night. For so many days, she had been distant, but Daphne had been trying hard to be enthusiastic, patient, and gentle, even if Zak always acted coldly towards her.Perhaps Daphne didn't expect Zak to really forget her birthday, just like how Zak didn't expect Daphne to forget hers back then.This outcome must have disappointed Daphne a lot.The family dinner ended around eleven o'clock in the evening. Zak had a little wine, and Brittany Flores cleaned up her room, letting her stay at home tonight since it's rare to come back.Saw it? Zak realized that she must have seen Daphne's message on the dinner table.Renata Cabrera has many toys and many friends. Because she doesn't understand much, Renata Cabrera usually doesn't play with her, so she just sits and watches.She opened her phone to check the chat history with Daphne from last night and belatedly realized that Daphne had been testing her all along. She had co
She couldn't think of what she had done wrong for the moment, nor did she know how to coax, whether she was qualified to, or if it would only make her angrier. With her lips slightly parted, her voice trembling and hoarse, she asked, "What's wrong?"Daphne explained, "It's nothing, I just wanted to find a piece of clothing, but I couldn't find it for a long time. I got tired of looking and wanted to rest for a while, and accidentally fell asleep."Zak was astonished, her expression froze for a moment before she realized something, deeply furrowing her brows. Daphne, hearing the noise, woke up. She slowly opened her moist and swollen eyes, tear stains still visible on her fair cheeks. She sat up, the shoulder strap sliding off her shoulder, looking up at Zak with confusion. Her pitiful appearance was particularly heart-wrenching. Zak's gaze was serious and complex. Daphne's consciousness had not fully awakened yet; she seemed very dazed and weak. From her perspective, looking up at Zak
Since that day, Daphne's state had remained more or less the same, as if she had lost all her vitality and spirit. She no longer went out of her way to "bother" Zak. The most common thing she did was to stare blankly out of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, stroking the cat in her arms, muttering to it. She looked sickly, often with her long hair loose, pale complexion, and melancholic eyes. But whenever she met Zak's gaze, she still smiled. Yet, no matter how Zak looked at it, her smile seemed pale and feeble.Daphne smiled, her eyes reflecting Zak's face, her gaze gentle and infatuated. "If Zakky wants, what am I unwilling to do?" In the end, Zak didn't make her stay in the hospital.After about fifteen minutes, the doctor came out of the consultation room and took Zak aside for a conversation. "She didn't say a word about her condition." The doctor looked troubled. "When I asked about other things, she seemed very talkative, like her favorite flow
