Chapter 864 Zachary, The Tragic Hero

Zachary’s usually icy, crystalline eyes were filled with confidence. “Yes, it will.” “Alright! I trust your judgment, sir. But you actually threatened to chop Naomi to pieces… Hehe…” Lucas sneakily glanced at Zachary. “Sir, if Sotiria gives everything up and abandons her child just to fulfill her love for Garrison, would you really do that to the little girl? Also, you said you’d chop her to pieces. Wouldn’t your heart ache?” A hint of warmth flashed in Zachary’s icy pupils when he thought of the miniaturized version of Charlotte’s face. “This is none of your business.” Lucas stroked his golden, bird nest-shaped head. “Sigh! Fine then! I’m going home then!” He turned around to leave. “You’re not allowed to go home tonight.” Zachary’s voice rang aloud behind him all of a sudden. Lucas immediately froze in place, like an ice sculpture. “Sir, you know I promised my girlfriend a candlelight dinner tonight. She’s already washed up and waiting for me at the hotel—” “Call her and tell her that tonight’s dinner is canceled.” Zachary nonchalantly cut Lucas off. “Naomi likes you. You will stay here tonight and pacify her.” ‘Fine!’ Lucas immediately understood. Zachary had never mentioned how he felt toward Naomi to Lucas, but he could tell how much he liked the little girl based on the look in his eyes. However, the little girl had been very upset when Zachary had hit Garrison the last time and had bitten Zachary’s leg. Zachary had forcibly kidnapped Sotiria and the little girl this time and brought them back to his villa. The little girl must hate him even more than ever! Now, Zachary was worried that an accident might happen if they locked her alone in the house, but he was too ashamed to see her. So he’s asking him to do it. ‘Sigh! Poor Second Master! He’s obviously as regal as a diamond, and everyone in the world should love him. But why does everyone he’s shown sincere fondness to always hate him? For example, Charlotte back then, and Naomi now…’ Lucas watched as Zachary entered the spiral staircase and couldn’t help saying, “Sir, have you read the report on Sotiria? She used to be unruly, but ever since that incident, it’s like she’s turned into a completely different person. She’s never fooled around with men, and despite being with Garrison for four years, nothing has ever happened between them.” Zachary, who stood on the white marble staircase, looked slightly less cold thanks to the contrast from the white light. He looked even more ethereal and graceful. “What are you trying to say?” Lucas smiled sneakily. “Hehe, isn’t this obvious? If you can disregard Sotiria’s past and see her as a completely new person after her memory loss, you could say that her body is still relatively untouched… Ahem! Since you’ve kidnapped her, sir, and you’re determined to marry her, why not make it… Official?” “Filthy.” Zachary curled the corners of his lips icily. “Why?” Lucas’s eyes filled with shock. “Haven’t you had a reaction to her?” “This has nothing to do with whether I have a reaction to her or not.” The handsome, godlike man’s inky, dark eyes only displayed chilliness. “I’m going to practice abstinence for Mrs. Connor’s sake. I will never do anything like that with any other woman for the rest of my life.” Lucas’s eyes filled with tears. He couldn’t speak. ‘Poor Mr. Connor! Ever since Charlotte’s death, he’s become even colder and more distant to other women, including Lorraine. And he’s already uninterested in women.’
