Chapter 219

I tried to move my body, but I was so sore. I got up and went to the balcony. I could see Zachary in the garden, sunbathing under the warm sunlight. He was wearing a simple, white shirt and his eyes were closed. This scene seemed particularly familiar. Zachary was like a man that could only exist in a fairy tale. He was incredibly handsome and all his features were extremely delicate. I gripped the balcony railing and called for him. “Second Brother!” He lifted his eyes, and his passionate warm gaze pierced right through me. I met his eyes and lost my words. Remembering that last night, I told him that I did not need him to be responsible for me. I said I would not use this to coerce him into a relationship with me. Even though I said that, deep down, I still felt hopeful. “Second Brother,” I called after him again, my voice gentler. “Hmm?” The man’s eyes were cool and pitch black. “Last night…” I paused abruptly, not sure how to form my words. Zachary remained silent.
