Zachariah tightened his grip on the phone.
He disliked unreasonable women. If Cora wasnât someone he loved, he would have hung up directly.
"Cora, you know me. But if you keep on playing the fool, go back to Europe. You ignored my feelings and went to Europe before we got married back then, and Iâll just think that our relationship ended four years ago."
Silence hung heavily on the other end of the line.
"Itâs late now. Go to bed early. When you wake up and can think straight, weâll talk about it then."
Anxious, Cora said in a hurry, "Zach, donât hang up on me. I was being unreasonable just now. But Zach, I just feel jealous that Miss Ophelia can sleep at your side, while I can only sleep in the hotel. Iâm upset about that. Besides, I had a few drinks, so I said something unreasonable. Iâm in Marriott Hotel. Zach, come and keep me company, alright?"
Zachariahâs heart melted all of a sudden. After all, he had true feelings for Cora. Although the feelings had diminished a little over time, he had used to love her. As long as they were not some irrational demands, he wouldnât turn down her small requests.
Zachariah drove to Marriott Hotel and took the lift to the twenty-first floor. Once he rang the bell, the door was opened. A figure in a bathrobe threw itself into his arms. "Zach, youâre not mad at me anymore, are you?"
There was a beauty in his arms, but Zachariah was still able to half-carry, half-drag her into the room calmly and closed the door behind him. Then he pushed her away a little and said, "Itâs so cold in here. Why donât you put on some more clothes? What if you catch a cold?"
Cora stared at Zachariah in grievance and said, "Zach, you were so cruel to me just now. Iâm really afraid that youâll ditch me because of my naughtiness. But thank god youâre here. Otherwise, I wouldnât know what to do."
Zachariah looked at her bare shoulders and said, "Go put something on, in case you catch a cold."
This time, Cora put on a pink dress obediently, looking quite innocent.
With a bottle of 1982 wine in one hand and two goblets in the other, Cora walked up to Zachariah and said, "Zach, do you mind having a drink with me?"
Zachariah wanted to take over the wine bottle from her hand, but she dodged his grab playfully. Blushing, Cora gave a charming smile. "Zach, go take a shower first, OK? I want to drink in a wonderful atmosphere."
Looking at Cora, who was even more gorgeous than usual, with flushed cheeks, Zachariah had totally nothing on his mind. Somehow, there was even a fit of anger welling up within him. Ironically, Zachariah believed that Cora was disgracing herself by doing this. Moreover, he wasnât troubled with the question why he had no physiological arousal at all when he watched the woman he loved seducing him so obviously.
Zachariah got up, reached out to take over the wine bottle from Coraâs hand and said, "Cora, be good. Itâs late now and not the appropriate time to drink. Go to bed early, and Iâll be by your side."
Cora stared blankly at Zachariah. She swallowed her pride and seduced him, but unexpectedly, he didnât buy it at all. This was a huge humiliation to a girl, and she lost both her face and her dignity.
"Zach, you donât allow me to visit your house. Now, I want you to have a drink with me, and you turn me down again. I wonder if you really love me."
Tears streamed down Coraâs cheeks as she spoke. She was really frustrated.
Cora was good at faking it. She was also good at showing her weakness and playing up to men. This was no hard work for her, because she was aware that men liked obedient women. Only those women who knew how to act obediently could get more love from men.
She thought so, and did so.
Zachariah put the wine bottle on the table and took Cora into his arms, saying, "My good girl, I didnât mean that way. I just think itâs late now. If you donât go to bed, you wonât have your beauty sleep."
Cora buried her head in his arms and whispered, "Zach, just have a drink with me and Iâll go to bed obediently and not trouble you anymore, alright?"
Zachariah nodded and replied yes.
"Then go take a shower first. Iâll set the scene like a candlelight dinner." Cora pulled herself free from Zachariahâs arms, pushed him into the bathroom innocently and gave a sweet smile. "Zach, take your shower, and Iâll give you a big surprise in a while."
Zachariah shook his head helplessly, but still took off his clothes and took a shower. When he got out of the bathroom, all the lights were out in the suite, and only the candles flames were flickering in the darkness. Cora was blushing against the candlelight, and she looked even more stunning.
Cora walked over to Zachariah shyly and said in a sweet tone, "Zach, today is our wedding night. Look at me. Am I pretty?"
Zachariah just cast a glance at her and said, "Cora, thatâs enough. Have a drink and go to bed. Stop playing games."
Cora dropped her head, a wicked glint in her eyes. But when she raised her head again, she looked innocent as usual.
