Chapter 21
Vincent retorted, "Of course not. If we let her off, she'll only become worse. However, Vincent didn't dare to call the police. Amber dared not mention it either as she would be implicated. She could only swallow it down.
What a mess. Elvira didn't placate Perry and she was implicated. Amber felt disgusted. She looked at Vincent, knowing that men cared about their wife's fidelity. Elvira was ruthless to have drugged her so much. Amber still felt severely uncomfortable. Elvira sat in the living room working while Zach was making dinner in the kitchen. They exchanged looks occasionally. When their eyes met, Elvira blushed.
Zach made a simple dinner and came to carry Elvira to the dining
"I can walk" Elvira was embarrassed. The effects of the sedatives had long passed.
"But I like to hold you in my arms," Zach responded.
Zach sat down beside her. When Elvira looked at the delicious food, she gave him a thumbs up. "Zach, you're amazing. You actually know how to cook."
Zach kissed her. "I have to feed you."
Elvira blushed. Zach had done a lot for her. She was touched. "You're great, honey."
Zach smiled and kissed her again.
Elvira grew
redder. She served him some food, "Let's eat."
"Yes, dear," Zach served some food to Elvira and asked curiously, "Elvira, am I useless because I can't afford a house?"
"Of course not. Housing prices are sky-high now. How many youngsters can afford it? No one can buy their first house themselves. Besides, you're capable. You care for Tracy, can cook, and even do the dishes. You're excellent. As a reward, Elviral kissed him. Zach liked Elvira more. He felt ashamed of his suspicions about her. He had hit the jackpot this time. There weren't many as kind as Elvira. "You're great too, dear. Zach kissed her.
Elvira now knew what it felt like to be in a relationship. It was sweet and beautiful. When she was with Calvin, she was always worried and unhappy.
After dinner, Elvira reapplied medicine on Zach's arm. She swallowed at the sight of him topless. Zach looked hot.
"Like what you see?" Zach placed her hand on his chest. His firm muscles made Elvira's heart race.
"Yes" Elvira nodded.
"Then touch me more" Zach pulled her into his lap. Elvira cupped his face and kissed him.
They didn't go all the way. Zach could feel Elvira's nervousness and fear. They hadn't known each other for long, so he would give her time to adapt to him. Elvira couldn't bear to see him suffer and blushing, relieved him again.
Elvira's face was red when she showered. She didn't dare to look at herself. She felt she had become bad and bold. But his ecstatic expression made her heart melt,
On Saturday night, Elvira accompanied Olivia to the charity auction dinner. Olivia was forced by her parents to attend. They hoped Olivia would meet some good men and get attached. Olivia handed over the invitation and they entered the hall. It was filled with well-dressed people and everything was glamorous and upscale,
6:18 PM c
Judy arrived with Stacy Willis, her cousin. Judy was a rising star. With her popularity and her background, her appearance as a charity ambassador made her even more popular. Elvira, as the oldest daughter of her family, had not appeared for many years. Thus, many only knew about Judy but not
Elvira.
When Judy saw Elvira, hatred flashed in her eyes. She had always detested Elvira, especially her face. Even without makeup, Elvira always drew the eyes. Today, Elvira was dressed up and looked stunning.
Judy, on the other hand, had many visible flaws, especially her facial structure. She had to keep her bangs to look good. Even so, Elvira looked better than her. Judy was afraid to stand beside Elvira as others might compare them.
Judy glanced at Stacy with disdain when Stacy was awed over everything like a country bumpkin. An idea came to Judy and she remarked, "Elvira is here. I didn't think she'd be interested in this. Otherwise, I'd have brought her along." "Elvira? How dare she have the nerve to come after making Aunt Amber suffer? Judy, you're too nice. You should stop her so she could never rise above you," Stacy said angrily to please Judy and her family. "Don't say that. We're all sisters and should help each other, Judy said softly.
"Sisters? Does she treat you like one? She even tried to steal Calvin. Judy, you're too soft-hearted. I'll help avenge you later." Stacy had a wicked idea and her eyes gleamed.
Judy was smug but still pretentiously persuaded Stacy against it. With Stacy set against Elvira, Judy only needed to watch the
show.
Olivia pulled Elvira to the dessert area. She was a true foodie. As Elvira watched Olvia grab many desserts, she advised, "It's late. Eat less or you'll gain weight.
