As soon as she asked that, the atmosphere in the room changed.

A tinge of sharpness flashed across Zachary's eyes as he looked at Yvonne.

Yvonne blinked innocently, making it seem as if there wasn't any hidden meaning behind her words, or it could also mean that she was simply being straightforward.

She clearly had done it on purpose.

Zachary snorted and said mockingly, "What? Do you really think that you're the only woman in my life throughout all these years?"

Her heart instantly tensed up.

Yvonne looked at him, and when she met his deep gaze, she pursed her lips, and said, "No, I won't flatter myself to such an extent."

However, she knew that Zachary had no other women in his life.

He was a very disciplined man who didn't behave recklessly.

Yvonne also understood how strict Zachary's upbringing was, as well as how stern and dignified his father had been back when he was still alive. Therefore, even if Zachary answered her that way, Yvonne didn't believe him either, not to mention how she had solid evidence that he had been single over the past few years.

However, when Zachary said this, Yvonne's heart still felt uncomfortable, as his words made her feel distressed.

Men could care a lot about their dignity and self-esteem to ensure they wouldn't get trampled on. That was understandable.

As such, she was willing to cooperate with him.

However, her response angered Zachary further.

He gave Yvonne a vicious look, and then proceeded to remain in silence.

The atmosphere wasn't very good. So, Yvonne turned around to sort out some items and clothes.

She was sorting out her items and clothes. Soon after, all the clothes to be washed were inside the washing machine as she washed her undergarments.

Of course, she washed his clothes as well.

However, his suit had to be dry cleaned. So, she couldn't work on that. She could only hang it up and then send it to the dry cleaner soon.

After washing the laundry for a long time, the rain

wasn't as heavy as it was already. Zachary was almost done with his ginger tea as well.

Yvonne also came out to the living room and saw that his cup was nearly empty. She asked, "Do you want to have more ginger tea?" Zachary answered coldly, "It tasted horrible."

Yvonne stared at him blankly for a moment, and then she laughed. That was right. It really didn't taste very good.

However, it was very useful.

It could prevent a cold.

"Your salary will be 60,000 dollars a month." Zachary said in a low voice, "That should be enough for you."

"Salary?" Yvonne was taken aback. "I don't want that amount of money. It's too much."

"It's your lover's fees," Zachary responded.

Yvonne's heart tightened again. She looked at Zachary and realized how he still liked to mock her and upset her. She thought of how this probably made him feel better. Hence, she allowed him to do so as he pleased.

"Alright, then." Yvonne said, "Don't mind me then. Just transfer it to my account directly. I'll send you my account number soon."

Once again, she handled his moves nicely.

Actually, he was hoping to see her actual reaction, but she always responded in such a way.

None of his actions had much of an effect.

He thought she would be angry, but she wasn't.

Forget it. Why did he have to behave like a child?

It was enough for him to tie her to his side.

She did not resist his offer and even agreed to it. Wasn't that what he wanted? If so, why was he still so unhappy about it?

He kept silent for a long time, and finally uttered a simple response to signal his agreement.

Yvonne waited until the clothes in the washing machine were completely washed before she started hanging them up to let them dry.

When she came back again, Zachary had already gone to the bedroom.

She looked at the clock. It was past two o'clock already. So, they had to rest now.

She turned off the lights and went to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Zachary was lying on the bed and looking at his cell phone.

Yvonne turned off the headlights and kept a small lamp on. She started lying down on the other side of the bed.

Then, she felt Zachary opening the drawer to retrieve a box of condoms.

She was startled. Was he planning to use it again?

Didn't they already do it just now?

She found herself unable to comprehend men's talents.

She felt that it was probably going to be difficult for her to sleep again tonight.

Surely enough, her suspicions were confirmed.

Zachary approached her silently.

Yvonne sighed in her heart, feeling an indescribable feeling. It was likely that half her life was going to be tortured to the point where she would cease from existence. Indeed, at three o'clock, Yvonne's entire body felt that it had already fallen apart, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She did not know how to describe the moments they shared together.

It was painful, yet happy at the same time.

It made her look forward to it despite being exhausted.

When he finally let go of her, Yvonne fell asleep hazily. She snuggled up against him in an attached manner.

This was different from the previous night.

That night, after the rain, the atmosphere became more ambiguous between the both of them. They started communicating more.

Even if there were times when some words were extremely unpleasant, or even sarcastic, at least they were communicating more. This was good enough already.

With a sense of yearning, Yvonne quickly fell asleep.

However, Zachary did not feel sleepy at all.

From the day before until now, he had been in extreme excitement. He still found it surreal that she was snuggling in his arms now.

He lowered his head and looked at Yvonne. Her face was small, fair, and delicate. Despite her slight frown, she breathed evenly, but she still seemed as if she had many secrets.

Considering how she had disappeared secretly twice, no one would believe her when she said that she wasn't hiding any secrets.

He picked up his phone and glanced at his messaging application.

There was a message that Grace sent him after two o'clock.

"Zachary, some things are meant to be let go instead of being ruminated upon. Otherwise, you'll just end up torturing yourself."

Upon seeing her message, Zachary smiled bitterly.

That was right. There was no need to torture himself.

However, sometimes he just couldn't control himself.

He quickly put down his phone and looked at the time. It was ten minutes to four o'clock. If he didn't sleep now, then the sun was going to rise really soon.

Therefore, he fell asleep quickly.

At the Jones family residence.

After being tormented by Heinz for a long time, Grace finally protested during the last round.

"Heinz, do you want the both of us not to have any more rounds in the future, or are we calling it a truce for the night?"

Heinz was shocked by Grace's attitude. He then said, "You promised me that we would be enjoying ourselves to the max tonight."

"I did promise you." Grace said, "But at this point, I can't help but to think that I might really die soon."

Heinz was startled. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. "Which kind of death are you referring to?"

Grace frowned, and her big eyes were full of protest. "Stop messing around. I don't have time for this."

She wanted to check on their children now. Usually, their children would wake up around this time for some milk and for a change of diapers before they could fall back asleep. However, until this point, Heinz hadn't stopped at all, which really tired Grace out.

She couldn't stand it anymore. So, she directly moved Heinz aside. "Move away now. I'm going to check on our children."
