Zachary was not happy with the explanation he received.

It wasn't a good explanation at all.

It was just an accident; that was such a simple explanation from her.

Not because Maria was his daughter nor was it because of their love that she gave birth to Maria. It was because it was an accident.

His heart sank upon hearing her explanation.

He was slightly lost in thoughts, and his handsome face was gloomy.

She stared at him with a complicated expression.

In the next second, he reached out and gently held her hand.

She almost retracted as if she had been scalded, but she tried to ignore the feeling and pretended everything was normal.

In an instant, Zachary reached out and held Yvonne's hand tightly. He did a downwards tug.

Soon, her hand that was tugging at his sleeve was pulled free.

He stood in front of her and slightly lowered his hand. Staring at her, he said word by word, "It's impossible for you to see Maria now."

"Then when can I see her?" Yvonne immediately asked. She really missed Maria and wanted to meet her as soon as possible.

His eyes turned cold, and he said, "It depends on how I feel."

"Zachary, you're not that kind of person." Seeing how he was purposely torturing her, she said, "I know I've made a mistake, but Maria is my daughter after all. I really want to see her." "Maria doesn't want to see you right now," he said calmly.

It didn't seem like he was lying.

She was taken aback.

Before Zachary came, Maria indeed told him that.

She didn't want to see her mommy.

She didn't want to see Yvonne now. It seemed that she had greatly hurt Maria by abandoning her. Up until now, Maria still felt hurt in her heart, so she was reluctant to meet her. However, Zachary could tell that Maria actually missed her mother too. It was just that she was abandoned, and it made her feel slightly resentful toward Yvonne. Upon hearing his words, Yvonne was stunned into silence.

She was really hurt. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

His words stabbed her right in her heart. She couldn't react for a long time. All she could do was stare motionlessly at him and she said, "Yes, I deserved it." She lowered her head to hide her embarrassment and regret from him.

"Alright, I'll wait for your news." She took a deep breath and said "Give me a minute, I'll give you my number."

"There's no need," he refused coldly.

Yvonne was stunned. She raised her eyes again and looked into Zachary's cold glare.

She was frightened and looked at him timidly. If he didn't want her number, how was he going to contact her? Or maybe he didn't want to contact her?

At that very moment, he saw her eyes begin to tear up.

Without saying anything, he turned around and left.

She opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a single word. She could only stare blankly at his figure disappearing into the distance.

It remained until he got into his car.

She had to look away. She didn't want him to see how sorry she looked. Thus, she turned around and left.

The suitcase had fallen over and everything was scattered on the floor. Everything inside was lying awkwardly on the floor.

She squatted down to pick up her belongings, but her tears were pouring down fast.

Her vision was blurred by the large drops of tears forming in her eyes.

Zachary, who was sitting in his car, did not leave in a hurry. He stared at Yvonne without any emotions.

He looked silently at her as she picked up her fallen belongings one by one. Her face was hidden by her hair covering her face. She zipped up her suitcase and was about to leave.

At this time, she had calmed down and except for her watery eyes, there were no traces of her crying anymore.

She saw that his car was still there. She paused slightly and tightened her jaw. Then, she headed straight towards it.

However, he started the car and drove away.

The car drove past her and left.

She pursed her lips.

She knew this would happen.

He was still mad. He was furious.

She laughed sarcastically at herself. Even if he was angry, and even if things didn't look promising, she had to work hard. She had to repay him.

Zachary drove away and they never saw each other again.

Yvonne dragged her exhausted physique to a nearby hotel to spend the night.

In the Lowe family home.

When Zachary came back, Maria was waiting in the yard.

His heart tightened the moment he saw his daughter.

His dear daughter was obviously very concerned about Yvonne's news, but she still pretended that she didn't care. She was waiting for news from him.

However, he didn't bring any news back. Instead, he brought back a feeling of sadness.

He quickly got out of the car. Maria had already run towards him and cried excitedly, "Dad, you are back!"

He hugged her tightly and looked at her little face. She looked so much like Yvonne and himself. He apologized and said, "I'm sorry, baby. I didn't bring your mommy back."

She shook her head and comforted him, "I didn't want to see her either."

He felt sad in his heart. What did he do to deserve such a sensible child? She actually comforted him and tried to cheer him up.

Later, Zachary heard from his mother that after he went out, Maria had been in the courtyard waiting for him to come back and she was reluctant to eat the cake. Nerissa had asked Maria to go inside but she refused and wanted to wait outside. Even though she didn't say anything, it was obvious that she missed her mother.

Zachary's eyes narrowed.

"Mom, I'm going out again," he said and left in a hurry.

In the car, he made a phone call and said, "Send me where Yvonne went."

"President, Miss Attwood is now staying at a hotel near Mr. Jones'."

Soon, the location and the room number were sent over.

He instructed, "Find a way to get me a room card." "Yes."

At this very moment, Yvonne was making a call.

"I'm back," she called her friend and said, "I've been gone for more than a year. Finally, I'm back." "Welcome back. What about the child? Have you met her yet?"

"No," Yvonne was very depressed. "Zachary won't allow me to see her. He probably hates me now."

"Didn't you explain?"

"What's the point of explaining? I've abandoned them twice and I'm really fortunate that he didn't kill me. Even if I said that I loved him, there's no way that he would ever believe me." Yvonne laughed at herself sarcastically and continued, "If it was me, I would not believe it either. How would someone abandon their family if they really loved them?"
