Zachary paused for a moment, then looked up at her, "We haven't settled our daily necessities yet, aren't you asking for too much now?"

Yvonne stared embarrassingly at him for a moment, then protested, "This wouldn't delay anything at all, can you let me see her after we've bought it?" "Then wouldn't that cause a delay?" Zachary asked in return, "How are we going to use them if you meet Maria right after that?"

"Is that the only thing on your mind? I really miss Maria, can you even understand how I feel?" Yvonne blurted out.

"Sorry, I can't," Zachary answered indifferently.

Yvonne fell silent. She felt dejected and her appetite was gone in an instant.

"It's been more than a year anyway, why rush now?" Zachary asked sarcastically.

He thought of how she left Maria with him without warning and disappeared without a trace. Who could understand how he had felt back then?

Furthermore, she didn't even tell him she was pregnant with Maria. They had more than just this problem between them.

Yvonne's heart throbbed and she felt bad, but she took a deep breath and muttered, "I knew you wouldn't go easy on me, so what now? When can I finally meet her?"

She was really dejected because she truly yearned to see her child.

"This week would be impossible," Zachary answered indifferently.

Yvonne was startled. It was only Tuesday. If she wasn't allowed to meet her this week, she would have to wait for five more days.

That was too long.

"What about next week?" She asked again.

"Probably not either." Zachary remained indifferent, "At least Maria didn't say she wanted to see you desperately."

He may have sounded indifferent, but he thought of what Maria said on the phone this afternoon.

Deep down, he wished for them to meet too, but he really couldn't allow that to happen so quickly. This woman was too hateful, so he had to teach her a lesson. She shouldn't be allowed to see her child so easily after dumping her like that.

People have to go through many lessons in life.

Yvonne lowered her head in frustration and put down her cutleries.

Zachary frowned and said coldly, "Hurry up and eat, don't ruin the appetite halfway through again."

These words sounded simple.

However, Yvonne still managed to grasp some sort of hidden meaning.

She looked up at Zachary and couldn't help but glare at him.

Zachary smiled indifferently at how upset she looked; he seemed to be gloating.

"It's useless for you to glare at me. You owed me too much."

"What on earth do I owe you?" Although Yvonne felt guilty, she couldn't help but retort. However, she was well aware of the fact that she owed him a lot, such as a proper break up among others.

"You owe me seven years of loneliness. The best period of a man's youth. You gave me a taste of sex, but stopped me from enjoying it again, don't you think you owe me all these?" Zachary answered deliberately, which left Yvonne speechless.

Only after a long time had passed did she mutter softly, "How difficult would it be for you if you wanted it? I believe that you could have any woman you want at the snap of your finger. Why did you have to wait for me and only me?" "Yvonne," Zachary's face turned cold, "You're the most heartless woman I've ever met."

Yvonne pouted and felt extremely wronged.

Alright, she truly didn't have any conscience. She was indeed heartless.

Perhaps, she had long been pathetic in Zachary's mind. She should consider herself lucky that he hasn't choked her to death by now.

Perhaps she was really being too greedy by continuously rebutting his words.

Yvonne didn't want to talk anymore, nor did she want to irritate him further. She quietly picked up her cutleries to continue eating.

She knew that she had no time to be sentimental, nor was she in the mood to be sentimental.

What she could do, instead, was to try her best and reverse their current situation now. She really didn't want her chance to be with him again to slip away.

In fact, she was just as lonely in the past seven years she spent in guilt.

But who could she share this feeling with?

If she had the opportunity to go back to where they started, she believed she would have made the same decision.

However, how could she explain this to Zachary?

She couldn't explain it.

Ten minutes later, she put down her cutleries and realized that he barely touched the food. She hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm full already." Zachary was stunned for a moment, but he kept quiet.

"I realized that you didn't eat much just now. Since you intend to utilize our daily necessities, shouldn't you eat more? How else would you be able to punish me?"

He stared at Yvonne with a dark gaze and a hint of sparkle flashed across his eyes.

"Are you really that desperate for me to punish you?" His tone was still full of sarcasm.

Yvonne bitterly twitched her lips, "Isn't that what you desire the most? It wasn't as if I could refuse you anyway."

However, she didn't know that she made herself sound more irritating by putting it that way.

Zachary smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry. I don't need to eat much to punish you. Let's go."

He had already got up and asked the waiter for the bill.

The waiter quickly came over. After he was done paying, Yvonne said, "Waiter, please prepare a few bags for me, I would like to take away these leftovers." Hearing that, the waiter was shocked.

Zachary was also taken aback.

Yvonne, however, didn't seem to care in the slightest, nor did she replace her request laughable.

The food on the table was nearly untouched; she only ate a small portion.

Zachary had ordered too much.

If he didn't eat, he would definitely be hungry later that night.

She also predicted that she would use up a lot of energy if Zachary continued to punish her that night.

Hence, not only would there be food to eat if they were hungry, but they would also not waste any food. She was killing two birds with one stone.

The waiter immediately smiled and said politely, "Okay, Miss, I'll pack them for you now."

Zachary frowned slightly.

Yvonne didn't pay him the slightest attention.

Ten minutes later, she left the restaurant with a huge box full of leftovers.

Zachary walked in front of her without looking

back.

Yvonne walked slowly as the box she carried was rather heavy.

Zachary got to the door rather quickly. As soon as he was out of the restaurant, he took a few breaths of fresh air and felt that he wasn't so gloomy anymore.

However, he couldn't see Yvonne when he turned his head.

His brows furrowed tightly in an instant and didn't loosen until he saw Yvonne's petite figure appear in front of him once again.

Only then did Zachary let out a sigh of relief. He thought that Yvonne had seized the opportunity to escape from him.

This woman didn't seem to realize that he was waiting for her.

She walked very slowly, with her body leaning slightly towards the box.

Zachary frowned and quickly walked towards Yvonne. He grabbed the box from her, then walked away with ease without saying anything.
