Elvira got into the car and texted Olivia. Zach sensed she was happy and was happy himself.
When Olivia knew Zach picked Elvira up, Olivia was also happy Elvira found a man who cared for her.
"Shall we eat before heading home? Any cravings? Zach asked Elvira.
"I know a place with good seafood. Elvira grinned sweetly.
"Sure. Just put in the address," Zach told her.
Elvira did and Zach drove toward the destination. Elvira's grin was brighter than before. Zach glanced at her before asking, "You seem really happy today. Did something good happen?"
"Yes. I humiliated Judy and Calvin publicly today. It's so satisfying. I have to thank that mysterious bidder. Although I didn't meet him. I'll pray for him," Elvira spoke.
Zach rubbed his nose guiltily. "That's because they're too detestable. They'll get their comeuppance."
"You're right, but I'm still grateful," Elvira insisted.
They went home after eating. Elvira bathed and came out of her room to see Zach was done too. He only had a towel around his hips. Elvira's blushed red. She went to pour herself a glass of water in the kitchen. Zach followed her, intentionally brushing against her while he reached for a glass.
Elvira wanted to move away but thought it would be too deliberate. She gulped down the water.
Zach only wanted to tease her and wans't really thirsty. He turned her around to him. He held a velvet box. Elvira blinked and asked, "What's this?"
"We're married but I haven't given you a ring yet. I got this for you." Zach took the glass from her hand and placed the box in her palm.
Elvira was surprised. She had forgotten about rings and hadn't expected him to do this. She thought about Tracy's upcoming surgery and said, "Tracy's surgery is tomorrow. Although we've raised enough money, there are still a lot of expenses afterward. Don't spend money unnecessarily anymore."
Elvira opened the box and was stunned. 'Isn't this "Eternity"? she thought. She finally remembered why the mysterious person felt familiar. He resembled Zach
"You were the one who bought the ring?" Elvira looked at Zach incredulously. But recalling how he didn't have enough money for Tracy's surgery, Elvira slapped her forehead, feeling silly. "I'm dumb. How could you spend 20 million dollars on it? If you had that much, how could we still be short on surgery fees?
Zach, who was about to tell her the truth, was rendered speechless.
"This is a fake, right? It looks real. Is this one of those trendy moissanite rings?" Elvira put it on. It fitted perfectly.
"Actually, Elvira... Zach was trying to figure out how to explain his identity to her.
Thinking he was embarrassed about buying her a fake diamond ring, Elvira interrupted, "Does it look good? You've good taste. I like this taste. As long as it's from
you, I like it"
"As long as you like it. Zach had bought a real diamond ring and thought it suited Elvira
He had just showered and dripping wet. Water ran down his firm muscles. He looked exceptionally sexy. Elvira blushed and turned to leave, but Zach pressed her against the kitchen counter.
His masculine aura surrounded her, making her feel dizzy. Zach was too irresistible. Elvira stammered, T-Tracy is having her surgery tomorrow. Let's rest early.
"Elvira, I want you," Zach whispered. His warm breath made Elvira tingle and go weak. She looked at him in surprise.
"I-I'm not ready yet. Isn't this... too fast?" Elvira stumbled over her words. She couldn't think. Although they were intimate, it was too soon to go all the way, especially since they had only just known each other. Zach bit her earlobe and chuckled. "I'm only teasing. I'll wait until you're ready."
Elvira felt relieved. Then Zach sucked her earlobe and electricity shot through her. Her knees went weak and she fell into his
arms.
Zach lifted her onto the kitchen counter. His lips moved downward. Elvira's toes curled as she watched Zach play with her breasts. She put her hand on his hand, hoping he would stop. "Zach, I can't... I can't bear it..." Elvira's voice shook. Zach looked at her with red eyes. He rested his forehead on hers and moved her hand down.
Elvira dared not look at him. She could only hear his panting, which made her heart race.
Although Stacy was arrested, Judy couldn't ignore her even if she was furious. It would tarnish her reputation. She could only tell Vincent so he could bail Stacy out
Vincent was infuriated when he learned Elvira was responsible. He called his contact at the police station, hoping to get Stacy
out.
This time, Vincent was rejected. His contact said they had received orders from higher-ups not to grant bail for Stacy and punished her severely.
This was the first time his contact had hung up on Vincent. Vincent had given his contact a lot of benefits and his contact would usually settle his problems. Why was it different this time?
Vincent refused to give up. He called again and asked respectfully. "At least explain what's going on, please."
"I'm not sure about the details. Mr. Willis, who did your niece offend? My superior is personally overseeing this." Since Vincent had been generous, the contact suggested, "If your niece wants to get out of it, she needs to get the other girl to drop the charges.
