The violent aura emanating from his body caused bystanders to retreat five meters away in fear so as not to be accidentally affected.
Zoey Baker, you are so cruel and heartless …
The newspaper, viciously torn into pieces, thrown into the trash can. But, the picture had been clearly reflected in the mind.
Double bed, naked woman, man, passionate kiss, most clearly …
Her intoxicated look. So clear, so ironic, without a hint of struggle or reluctance! He loved that man holding her like that, kissing her like that …
All of this was like a rigid cone, nailing his heart, his nerves, one at a time, and it hurt so much that he stumbled, holding onto the roof of the car, covering his chest and gasping for air to keep from suffocating.
Hands, resting on the roof of the car, clenched into fists. The fingertips were alarmingly pale.
Zoey Baker, thanks for this ‘surprise’ …
So that one can soberly climb out of those false ‘sweetnesses’ and take all that one deserves!
The sunlight after the rain shines in through the window. Head, drowsy and aching as if it were about to split open.
Zoey rubbed her eyes, aching and bracing herself as the covers slid down and her whole body was confused for a split second as if she had been frozen in place. Why, she wasn’t wearing anything! Just the covers wrapped tightly around her? Why was she here? Who brought her here? And what was this place? Completely unfamiliar!
Heart, steeply trembled, ran up a kind of inexplicable panic and cold. With great difficulty, she turned her face away, and in the next instant, she drew in a cold breath because of the person she saw beside her. Her eyes went black, and she almost fainted.
Beside him, lying, is no one else, but … brother …

…
Owen Baker had been awakened by Zoey’s slap, and finding the awful scene in his room, he couldn’t be bothered to think back to last night, getting out of bed and rushing into the bathroom.
“Zoey …” Her small red face, covered in tears, made his heart clench dramatically.
When she suddenly saw him, Zoey let out a low cry of shock and turned around to run away. The whole person but was Owen Baker a hand to retrieve back, she cringed down, her eyes do not dare to meet his, only like a frightened child like a terrified scream: “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me … I beg you …”
That heartbreaking, agonized plea made Owen Baker’s entire being freeze there with an excessive blow.
The hand that grasped her arm, a little, a little stiffened. His Zoey , was afraid and scared of him … more even, disgusted … with him.
“If you hate me, hit me, don’t hurt yourself!” His voice, astringent to dark, with painful choking. Hard to look at her red and swollen little face, grabbed her hand, fan on his face, “If you want to be difficult, torture me … sorry, Zoey , I …”
“I don’t want to hear it! You shut up! Don’t say it!” She screamed in irritation, cowering and withdrawing her hand to escape the space that terrified her.
Last night was a nightmare. And yet it cut her life, her love, clean off. She felt ashamed, embarrassed …
Don’t want to hear even a word, don’t want to stay a moment …
“Zoey ! Let me explain …” Owen Baker grabbed her. But she struggled hysterically, and when he didn’t let go, she slapped him across the face. The slap, too, was equally unforgiving, as it had been to herself.
Owen Baker is stunned for a moment, and Zoey takes advantage of the situation to run out of the room like a madman.
“Zoey !” Owen Baker slowed to a worried yell to get out after her. But she had already rushed into the elevator.
The elevator closed and she was alone …
In the claustrophobic space, all her terror, her humiliation had nothing to hide. Along the cold wall, she slid down weakly and slowly, curling herself into a ball. Fists, stuffed into her mouth to block out the painful sobs …
Last night’s scene was a blur, she could not remember it at all, but there were some images she preferred not to remember or think about …
This way, at least it’s not as nasty and heartbreaking …
…
The elevator, slowly opened, she did not know where to go with such a wretched self. Home, really can not go back …
Jerry there …
No! Where else could she go to him? She mustn’t see him, it would only make her despise herself more!
“Zoey ?” The familiar voice came out of nowhere. She shuddered and slowly raised her eyes. The silhouette, however, had already taken a step into the elevator and picked her up whole, “Why are you here?”
Sea Gu was completely surprised by her appearance, staring wide-eyed at her wretched state, a thick chill gathering under his eyes, “Damn it! Did someone bully you?”
At that moment, Zoey felt all her pain and aggression pouring out.
Throwing herself recklessly into his arms, she no longer knew where her harbor of refuge was, except for the only friend she had in front of her. She wept profusely, “Get me out of here! Please!”
Sea Gu’s entire body froze.
She in his arms, like a wounded white rabbit, had been trembling constantly. His heart ached, and without asking anything, he held her and left the hotel.
I came here today for a meeting, to talk to Sofia’s senior management about a cooperation project, but I didn’t want to bump into her here.
“Ingram, you can’t just leave!” Behind him, followed by his assistant, panicked.
“Fuck off!” Sea Gu didn’t have the heart to push him away.
“Ingram, this partnership is important. If I don’t get it done, I’m finished!” The assistant was about to cry.
“Put all the blame on me! Get the old man to fire me!” Sea Gu pulls the door open and lets Zoey in before following suit himself.
Zoey’s entire body was curled up on the passenger side, her thin body looking thinner and thinner as it fit under her wide bathrobe. Her eyes hung hollow, only constantly shedding tears, her eyes were godless and wooden. Such her, like a shell that has lost its soul …
What’s going on?
Sea Gu moved his lips to ask, but didn’t, only bending toward her. She, who had been unmoving, almost bounced up at that instant. Eyes gathered in horror, she glared at him warily, “Don’t touch me …”
Sea Gu was startled for a moment and looked at her pale little face with some bewilderment. Just now, what kind of terrible thing had she gone through to become like a scared bird? It had only been a few days since we had seen each other, and now she was in a sorry, fragile state, where was the anger she had when we last met?
Want to ask, but a huge heartache seized his heart, will be those words hard to block the mouth of his throat. In the end, just looked deeply at her, pursed his lips, like coaxing a child to gently coax her, “Don’t panic, I just want to give you a seatbelt … to … come …”
He bent over again, and this time, she didn’t do what she did just now, just let him put the seatbelt on. Those tearful eyes, staring at him in bewilderment, tears ‘snapping’ uncontrollably downward, unable to stop.
She did trust him, and right now, there was really nowhere else for her to go but here with him.
“Don’t you cry …” Sea Gu has always been afraid of women’s tears, let alone his favorite girl. He fumbled with his hands and drew a tissue to wipe her tears, but when he thought of how frightened she was just now, he was afraid that he would scare her again, so he only handed the tissue over. “Here, wipe your own tears.”
The hand that took the tissue trembled at the fingertips. She placed the tissue over her eyelids and almost instantly those tears soaked the tissue.
Sea Gu breathed in frustration, wanting to say something comforting, but damned if he knew where to start. Just had to start the car and take her away for a while.
Baker family, instead of the usual laughter, the atmosphere is cold and frosty.
The children because last night was ‘abandoned’ thing, always depressed, two people nest in the room to sleep, has not yet got up, naturally do not know that this home has been shrouded in clouds … the head of the family Sam Baker cold stern look sitting on the sofa, Yami Hu and Li Ma stood to the side, also in a panic. Yami Hu and Li Ma stood on the side, also is the heart of panic.
“Master, there is another group of media outside.” Chen Ma hurriedly came in with a worried look on her face. Sam Baker’s face became more and more gloomy, a palm slapped on the short table in front of him in full fury, and the whole person was trembling, “Call these two brutes for me again, and tell them to get the hell out and come back to me immediately! Either that, or don’t come back in this lifetime!”
“Yes, Master …,” Chen Ma was silenced and hurriedly turned around to dial the phone again. Yami Hu, anxious on the side, instructed the housekeeper, “First find a way to get rid of the group of reporters outside the door. Chen Ma, talk to the two children, tell them to come back and walk behind, don’t collide with the reporters.”
“Eh.” Chen Ma answered from afar, and Yami Hu turned back over to look at Sam Baker. He was stone-cold, and the veins on his forehead were jumping. She tentatively sat down beside him, “Zhen Guo, I have an idea.”
