CHAPTER 125: I WOULD BE WITH YOU ANYWAY

There was tension in the air.

Naturally, Yvonne had perceived the reproach in his tone of voice, but she was not in the mood for a quarrel, so she chose to remain silent.

Her reaction intensified Zachary’s annoyance.

The two of them were quiet throughout the trip back to Lord Villa. Yvonne didn’t utter a word during the ride, and neither did Zachary. Finally, they got back home. After getting out of the car and shutting the car door, Yvonne promptly returned to the house, bathed as quick as she could and then pretended to be asleep.

Zachary restrained his anger until she finished her bath.

But as he saw her lie down on the bed and close her eyes, refusing to communicate with him, Zachary shut the door behind him and his face darkened.

Before Yvonne could react, she felt something bulky weighing her down.

"Get off me!"

"Look at me,"

Zachary said in a faintly imperative tone.

Yvonne bit her lip, feeling rather upset.

"You’re suspicious of me because of a remark from her, aren’t you? Then what’s the point of talking with me?"

"When have I ever suspected you because of a remark made by an outsider?"

"I’m telling the truth."

Yvonne was faintly perverse. She would never admit that she was angry because of Yeliz.

She was indeed angry. Otherwise she would not have gone to the bar to drink without Zachary’s knowledge.

Zachary found that she was still burying her face in the quilt, and this time he took action.

"Look at me."

Yvonne revealed her beautiful eyes from beneath the quilt and scowled at him.

"Listen to me."

He said, "I don’t care what you have against me, but firstly, you shouldn’t have gone to the bar to drink at night without my knowledge, and secondly, if you’re angry with me, you may tell me the reason explicitly. Don’t silent-treatment me. I feel miserable when you give me the silent treatment."

At first, when Yvonne had heard his peremptory tone, she had had an urge to dress him down, but at the last remark of his, her heart instantly softened.

She could never bring herself to make him feel miserable.

He was so nice to her. Although they had been mad at each other, when he had heard that she was in trouble, he had still immediately gone to the police station and severely punished those who bullied her.

He had made them apologize to her.

But him suspecting her earlier this day had really hurt her feelings badly.

"I know you’ve always found the story of my rebirth unbelievable, but it’s true."

"I know."

"In my last incarnation, I experienced darkness that ordinary people wouldn’t dare imagine!

"That’s why after I’ve been in this new life for such a long time, after the villains have got their just deserts, the wounds in my heart still haven’t healed!"

It was like a nail sticking in a tire. Pulling the nail out wouldn’t end all the trouble, because there would be a hole in the tire.

So it was not that she was guarded with Zachary. Those experiences had been too traumatic.

That was the reason why she had reflexively panicked the other day, but it had lasted only an instant and then disappeared.

But her stress response was much less intense than it had been.

As for Yeliz’s words, they had been a blatant lie she had told to drive a wedge between them.

Zachary had quietly introspected in his office afterward, and he had figured it out. He had got angry after that only because Yvonne had gone to the bar without his knowledge and given him the silent treatment during the ride.

Every night, they made out before they cuddled up against each other and fell asleep. Her going to sleep alone without talking to him was the real trigger for his anger.

Now that they had talked things over, he began to blame himself for having lost his cool during the day.

If he hadn’t gone straight back to his office, she wouldn’t have gone to the bar without his knowledge, and she wouldn’t have gotten into all that trouble afterward.

Zachary took her in his arms, kissed her brow affectionately and then gave a little sigh that was barely audible.

Yvonne heard him sigh. "Why are you sighing?"

...

In her impression, Yvonne hardly heard Zachary sigh.

He actually just sighed!

Although not that kind of sigh with distress, she was quite surprised with his slight sigh.

"Why are you sighing?"

"I’m frustrated."

"Frustrated?"

She felt strange.

This man, was there actually a time when he felt frustrated? "I’ve always been sure of what to do, including facing you. "But now, I seem to care too much about you."

Because of too much concern, one would emotionally out of control.

Otherwise, a man with strong self-control against human beings like him, how could he just get off and leave today?

Yvonne’s heart was a soft and she smiled as she patted his back.

"It’s okay, I forgive you."

"But you say you’re sure of me?

"And were you sure of that even when I didn’t accept your pursuit before?" At that time, she was in love with Jordan Yale as a huge fan. Zachary said, "Yes."

Yvonne raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you so sure I will like you?"

"Maybe not."

Zachary said, then pressed her under him and pinched her chin with his thick fingers.

"But I will definitely let you stay with me, by stealing or robbing, anyway" Against the light, the man’s handsome and unique face were close at hand.

Yvonne could smell the good smell of him, and feel his breathing, heartbeat, and hard muscles, ups and downs...

And the hard...

She blushed.

Such moment gave her an inexplicable sense of fatalism.

"I believe that."

"Because that’s what you did in previous lives. I didn’t want to be with you, so you snatched me away and tied me to you."

In fact, Zachary had always been curious about them in his previous life. He wanted to know how much she didn’t like him in her previous life, but he didn’t dare to know. He’s afraid he wouldn’t accept it after he knew it.

"Previous life?

"Speaking of which, have you forgotten one thing all the time?"

"What?"

"Before we got married, I asked you if you had ever loved me at all in your previous life."

His hot breath sprayed on her neck. His voice was low and sexy.

Yvonne lowered her head.

"The... The past is over."

"You said you would tell me on our wedding night. Up to now, we have been married for nearly half a year, and you didn’t say it."

"Uh"

It seemed so. But it’s so long ago that she’d almost forgotten about it.

"I don’t want to lie to you about my previous life."

"At that time I was indeed madly in love with Jordan Yale, blind for him, and even broke off the relations with my father, and... disappointed you."

Yvonne saw Zachary’s black pupils, which were very calm.

It was dark, deep and heavy, like the bottomless black sea at midnight, calm, waveless and unfathomable, but she knew that there were turbulent emotions hidden under such calm appearance.

"But... We are not without any warmth."

"In my previous life, my father’s family was on the verge of bankruptcy. I accepted your pursuit in order to deliberately annoy my father... But I was still concerned about Jordan Yale. You had a grudge against me. In addition, my father had been targeting the Leinster Group. He thought that you played with his daughter, and you two fought with each other, hovering between life and death."

"But at that time, my father didn’t spoil me as much as he does now. At that time, Sarah Mooney and her daughter were favored, and I was a complete loser in my father’s eyes. They bullied me like a dog at home."

It’s been a lifetime ago, but those memories still sent chills down your spine when

you thought about it.

Zachary subconsciously hugged her, warmed her and relaxed her.

"I remember one day, it was raining hard."

...

"Originally, I didn’t have the wit to prove my innocence for myself the day Sarah Mooney framed me for sleeping with Jordan Yale in the hotel in my previous life. My dad mistakenly thought I was in a room with Jordan Yale and in a fit of anger he threw me a slap and since then I had already left home. That day, I just went back to get my mother’s stuff.

"But I had a big quarrel with my father under the incitement of Sarah Mooney and Zoila Mooney."

"It was a big fight that time, and Dad smashed a lot of things in the house."

"He said that I was not his daughter anymore. He only recognized Zoila Mooney. I was very strong at that time. He broke things, and I just smashed the TV directly.

"Then my father was completely angry, saying that my mother used to smash the TV and that we were all the same heartless women."

"Sarah Mooney and her daughter were very proud. I’m so angry. But I’m actually really quite sad in my heart."

Speaking of which, Yvonne still couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Zachary could feel that. Even now she also revealed that deep sense of despair, and he held her wrist hard.

"And then?"

He asked.

Yvonne said, "then I didn’t want anything, not even the umbrella offered by the housekeeper. My father wouldn’t let anyone take me away. I just run out."

"I went out in the pouring rain in summer. The ground was very slippery. I didn’t stand firm when I went down the stairs. I fell down awkwardly."

"Zoila Mooney and Sarah Mooney looked behind me and really laughed. I felt humiliated. There was no moment in my life so humble like that. I was kicked out of the house by my biological father. My stepmother, an outsider, was watching my jokes."

"But just then, you know what happened?"

"Hmm?"

Yvonne said, with her amorous eyes shining with finely light.

"You showed up."

"Me?"

Zachary asked.

"Yes, you’re right."

"Why would I go?"

It’s a wonderful feeling to listen to what I had done in another world in another time and space.

"At that time, although we were not strictly together, and I declared you as my boyfriend on purpose to annoy my father, but you really loved me," Yvonne said.

"We didn’t live together at ordinary times, and we even rarely met."

"But you heard that I went home to get things. You were worried that I was being bullied, so you pushed off important meetings and drove directly to come to me in the rainstorm overnight."

Zachary pursed his lips.

It turned out that I would do the same thing in another time and space.

That’s really his style.

Yvonne said, "When you came, you were driving your current Rolls-Royce with the same license plate number. The headlights came in and shone on me. At that time, I was covered in dirt because I fell down."

"You walked with an umbrella, took off your suit jacket and put it on me directly, and didn’t abandon me for being dirty. You took my hand in front of my angry dad and Zoila Mooney, who was full of jealousy, and didn’t say a word, just looked at them coldly..."

Zachary kissed her.

"Isn’t that pretty much the same as today?"

He did the same thing today when Lydia Evans bullied her.

Yvonne shook her head.

"Not the same.

"My dad didn’t allow us to be together at that time. If you took me away, he would call the police.

"He thought you were using me to cope with him and threaten him. At that time, he actually cared about me."

"And then the police came?"

"Yes," said Yvonne. "I thought the police were coming. You wouldn’t get involved in this mess. And I was not gonna be able to leave."

"Just when I thought I was going to be abandoned again, you tightened the hand I wanted to pull away."

"You only asked me one thing. You asked me if I wanted to go with you." Yvonne’s heart ached when she thought of the picture.

That’s why she was so heartbroken every midnight after Zachary died in the previous life. Just because of this picture, she felt a kind of warmth that she had never felt in her life. That kind of deep-rooted love, in fact, has long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of her and Zachary in previous lives, but she didn’t notice it at that time.

"You asked me if I wanted to leave. If I agreed, you would take me to get the marriage license tomorrow."

"You said you’d make me your wife so that no one could force me in the future."
