True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1133

Zachary remained silent.

Yvonne looked at him as if she wanted to challenge him, and said, "Zachary, tell me the truth. You're actually upset about making me your mistress too, right?" Upon hearing her words, his eyes darkened.

He felt embarrassed and awkward that she was able to guess his inner thoughts so accurately.

For example, she was able to guess that he would punish her if she spoke at the wrong time.

She, on the other hand, was completely seeking trouble.

"Zachary, you can't treat me like this!" She did not expect him to turn out so frightening after so many years.

He had changed.

He was surrounded by an icy cold aura all over.

He was no longer the warm-hearted youth, the one who was all smiles and had a gentle and kind aura.

Now, he had matured into a man with a stone-cold heart. A man who held hatred and resentment towards her.

Yvonne was frightened of him.

Seeing his tightly pursed lips, cold face, and eyes full of anger, her mind went blank and her tears slowly welled up.

She wanted to cry.

Due to fear, sorrow, and other overwhelming emotions.

The fact that affected her the most was that he was no longer warm.

Over the years, she had always kept him in her heart. He used to be such a wonderful and beautiful man who made everyone fall in love with him. But now, that beauty no longer existed.

It seemed that he was just an empty shell overflowing with hatred and anger.

And she was the one who caused his anger.

She couldn't express the sorrows in her heart; neither could she blame him for the way he treated her.

"Shut up." Looking at her aggrieved and shocked look, Zachary's heart softened.

He didn't want to show that he cared a lot, or the fact that his heart softened. Deep inside, he also realized how outrageous he was treating her. Yvonne's mouth was tightly pursed. She stared at him without blinking or saying anything.

Even if she felt so close to bursting into tears, she held herself back as well.

He saw how sorry she looked as she tried hard not to cry. At that moment, she looked just like a little girl.

His mind went back to seven years ago in an instant.

They were classmates who grew up together. All these years, the only woman that he had ever loved was her.

"Zachary, I'm sorry," she spoke while sobbing.

It was all her fault. She turned him into such a man.

It was an apology that she easily muttered out.

However, it angered him further.

It was so easy for her to apologize and he didn't know what to do about it.

He was enraged and wished to torture her so that she could understand the amount of suffering and sorrows that he had to suffer with Maria for the past year.

He was an adult who could endure such sufferings, but what about their daughter?

Every time he thought of Maria, his fatherly love and instincts would overwhelm him and they increased his hatred towards her.

However, when he looked at her pitiful face, his heart melted.

He believed that even the hardest man alive would have his heart melted when met with such a delicate and frail woman.

His heart also softened a lot, but he could not let her go unpunished.

He would not do that.

Especially when he finally met Yvonne again after all these years.

Everything in front of him felt like a dream. Only in dreams could things feel a lot warmer, so how could he give up on such a beautiful dream?

Therefore, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He waited for a moment and looked down at her.

She sniffed as she sobbed.

She looked at him and sniffed again as she whispered aggrievedly, "Zachary, I made a mistake. I know that I made a big mistake, really, but please, don't change yourself. You were such a warm and loving man. How could you turn into such a cold-hearted beast because of me?"

She begged for his mercy.

He couldn't believe that she was actually begging for his mercy.

All of a sudden, the anger sparked a fire his heart. If she begged for mercy so easily, how was he going to release his pent up anger caused by all the sufferings he had

endure for the past few years?

This was, in fact, a long-awaited warmth which was filled with a tinge of poison.

That's right. He was so addicted to it due to the infusion of poison.

He didn't want to see how Yvonne looked when she was begging for his mercy, so he closed his eyes.

"Shut up. Did you just say that it was because of you I became like this?" Zachary sneered, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "You think too highly of yourself. Did you really think that I turned cold-hearted because of you? You're overestimating yourself."

She froze and stared blankly at him. Wasn't it due to herself?

However, he was so enraged now. How could he admit it?

Tears continued to flow down her cheeks. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Well, it looks like I was mistaken. I shouldn't have thought of it that

way."

All of a sudden, he felt even more upset when he heard what she said.

Yet, he wasn't going to let her off so easily.

She was the only woman he had ever fallen in love with and he had waited for her for so long.

His biggest wish was to be able to confine her to his side, so that she could be his forever.

Even if her heart may still wander, as long as she was physically with him, it was enough for him.

However, she was too disobedient. She had escaped from him too often and he could never get a hold of her.

What's more, he didn't even know the reason she left him, but he didn't want to be so passive about it anymore.

Therefore, he figured that the reason he was treating her with aggression now was so that she would know that she belonged to him.

He was going to use simple and straightforward actions to let her know that she would be his forever.

Even if she was to escape, he would eventually get hold of her.

As for her heart, he must be the only one in it. He wasn't going to let her escape anymore.

On the other hand, Yvonne could still sense some sort of yearning from Zachary.

He missed her. He yearned for her.

She had been missing for so long. Now that she was finally back, he didn't want to treat her with patience.

Despite this, she could still feel a sense of yearning in him.

Wasn't she feeling the same way too?

She knew that he missed her; it was just that he didn't know and wasn't going to express it. Instead, he was frustrated with her disappearance over the years. As this realization crossed her mind, she felt a sense of bitter satisfaction.

The complicated emotions that seemed to be swirling in her, made her believe in him. No matter what would happen in the future, she would stay by his side.

They didn't know how much time had passed.

The sky was already dark outside, and one could still catch a whiff of the food from before, as well as a growling noise from one's stomach.

That was from Yvonne, who was truly hungry.

She was hungry from before they had the conversation as she didn't have lunch. Initially, she was going to have an early dinner, but Zachary turned up unannounced right after she had prepared her food. Therefore, she was not able to eat even a single bite of it until now. She was close to collapsing due to hunger.

He could hear her stomach growling as well.

She remained silent.

He still had his arm wrapped around her so would not be able to move.

She stole a glance at him. His jaw tightened. As for his expression, it looked idle with a tinge of ferocity.

This man was no longer the boy from seven years ago.

He had become more manly and fierce. He was like a stranger with a hint of familiarity in him.

She stared at him nervously.

His lips remained tightly pursed, and his eyes slightly closed. He wasn't looking at her but he still made sure that she was confined in his embrace and not able to leave.

How bossy of him.

She thought to herself, "If I don't ask for his permission to go eat, I will be getting gastric pains soon."

She was sure that he could hear her stomach growling, but he wasn't responding to it.
