Chapter 48

    Just as he was about to brush past Zachary, Ethan lowered his voice on purpose and said, "Zachary, I should thank you. You''re the reason Wendy can be together with me without feeling burdened."


    Ethan looked smugly at Zachary.


    He wanted to see sadness, regret, and rage on Zachary''s face. However, to his disappointment, Zachary onlyughed carelessly at his provocativements.


    Ethan felt as if his words had had no effect.


    He did not stay and instead quickened his footsteps to catch up with Wendy.


    Now that the repulsive couple had left, Anya immediately admitted to her mistake. "I''m sorry, Mr. Lloyd. You got pped for nothing because of me."


    Zachary looked at her and smiled wryly. "This doesn''t have anything to do with you. You don''t have to feel guilty."


    When Anya saw that he wasn''t angry with her, she couldn''t helpining, "Mr. Lloyd, you''re a terrible judge of character! How could you have married a woman as blind and ignorant as Wendy? You actually lived with her for five years! If I had been in your ce, I''d have kicked her out ages ago!"


    Zachary had nothing to say to Anya''s criticisms.


    After all, everything she had said was true.


    Wendy was ignorant. If she wasn''t, how could she not realize that Ethan was approaching her on purpose because he had ulterior motives?


    "Mr. Lloyd, why don''t you consider me instead? I think that I''m much better than Wendy in all aspects. Besides, I''m very loyal! I''d never get into an ambiguous rtionship with men who weren''t my husband," Anya said. There was a hopeful light in her pretty eyes.


    Zachary reached out to ruffle her hair. Heughed, saying, "I can consider thinking of you as my younger sister."


    Anya frowned. "How can being a younger sisterpare to being your wife? If you think that things are progressing too quickly, I can be your girlfriend first!"


    "Don''t be silly! I don''t want to be in a rtionship right now!" Zachary rejected her ruthlessly.


    Anya looked discouraged. She sighed. "Alright, I''ll be your younger sister then. As long as I work hard, I''m sure I can get upgraded to being a lover!"


    Zachary looked difited at Anya''sments.


    He could not understand it.


    Why was Anya always acting so boldly whenever she was around him?


    In the neighborhood outside his rented house, Zachary watched Anya drive off.


    He turned to walk into the neighborhood, but a ck Audi suddenly stopped at the entrance.


    The door opened and Wendy got out. She hurried to catch up with him. "Zachary, stop right there!"


    When he heard Wendy''s voice from behind him, Zachary frowned at once.


    Why was this woman so obsessive?


    He turned around, but what surprised him was that Ethan was not with Wendy this time.


    Wendy blocked Zachary''s path and said unpleasantly, "Zachary, when did you meet Ms. Wayne from Yel Corporation?"


    "Is that any of your business? Why should I tell you?" Zachary''s brow furrowed


    even more.


    Wendy could not possibly know where he was currently living. The fact that she had managed to find him meant that she had been stalking him.


    Wendy''s eyes glinted. "You want to divorce me don''t you? I can agree to do so, but you have to answer a few questions of mine. Once you''ve answered them, I''ll go to the


    courthouse with you on Monday to


    get our divorce papers done."


    Zachary was silent for a moment. He said, "I met Anya the day you brought Ethan home."


    Wendy frowned slightly. She murmured, "That means... Anya probably didn''t mean you."


    "Do you have any other questions?" Zachary was getting sleepy. He''d had a busy


    day, and he had no wish to waste any time on Wendy.


    "She humbled herself to eat alone


    with you, which means that you


    her Can you ask Anya to cont


    must be on pretty good terms with


    working with Jennings Corporation?"


    She seemed afraid that Zachary would refuse, as she added, "As long as you can persuade Anya to


    continue working with Je9s


    Corporation, I''ll forgive you for everything you did, and I''ll keep my distance from Ethan in the future."
