Chapter 16
“Elvira is quite something to snag a super hot guy, Olivia thought.
Even when they were in the car, Elvira’s face remained pink. Zach pulled Elvira into his arms again and kissed her passionately, making Elvira go weak. Then, Zach’s hands wandered where they shouldn’t and Elvira stopped them.
Their intimacy was interrupted when Elvira’s phone rang. Zach frowned. It was from Marsh. She only kept her brother’s
number.
“It’s my brother. I gotta answer. Elvira got off Zach’s lap and moved to the passenger seat before answering.
“It’s me.” Vincent’s voice came.
“What’s up?” Elvira answered. Vincent’s voice was cold.
“Judy said she met your husband. Since you’re married, introduce him to us,” Vincent spoke through suppressed rage.
“Sure, I’ll ask him. I’ll let you know,” Elvira hung up.
Vincent was so angry he almost got a cerebral hemorrhage.
“Your dad?” Because Zach was close, he heard everything.
“He wants to meet you. What do you think?” Elvira looked at him nervously.
“Sure. I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Zach rubbed her head. He wanted to kiss her again but Elvira moved away, saying, “I… I’m hungry. Let’s go eat first.”
Seeing her shy, Zach didn’t insist. After all, they had plenty of chances.
On the way, Elvira urged Zach to accept the money. Zach did, but he planned to replay her many times over in the future.
Elvira also opened Olivia’s message. Her face turned red again when she saw the photo of them kissing in the hospital. corridor. Olivia was good at photography and the photo looked erotic
Elvira looked away shortly, feeling embarrassed.
“Send it to me,” Zach said suddenly, surprising Elvira. Elvira kept her phone and asked, “What?”
“The photo your friend sent you.” Zach smiled at Elvira.
“But… it’s embarrassing. We can’t keep it. I’ll delete it.” Elvira had only dated Calvin before. Calvin treated her well when they were kids and was distant later. They were not a real couple. Zach was her first boyfriend and the first man to kiss her.
“If you delete it, I’ll have someone come to take more photos of us kissing Zach wanted to preserve their beautiful moments together.
Elvira was speechless.
The next day, Zach accompanied Elvira back to her family. Worried, Elvira told Zach, “If Dad says anything unpleasant, ignore him. We won’t stay for long.”
“Up to you.” Zach looked at the anxious Elvira and his heart ached for her. He thought, ‘How did she live here before to feel so uneasy about returning?
When they arrived, no one greeted them. Zach brought presents. There weren’t many but they were high–quality items like fine liquors, cigars, and luxurious collagen broth and supplements,
Everyone was there, including Calvin. They were chatting and laughing, ignoring their arrival. They obviously didn’t respect Elvira and Zach.
Chapter 16
Elvira was upset, especially when she saw Marsh absorbed in his game. However, she held in her temper because this was Zach’s first visit. “Dad, this is my husband, Zach Gilbert. Now that you’ve met, we’re leaving.” Elvira grabbed Zach and turned
to leave.
Zach’s gaze swept over them coldly. Their disrespect showed how they bullied Elvira over the years. He vowed he would never allow anyone to bully Elvira again.
Vincent didn’t expect Elvira to disrespect him so. He stood up and ordered, “Stop.”
“Oh, you’re here, Elvira. We didn’t even notice. Have a seat.” Amber wore a white gown and looked noble and elegant, her smile gentle. Her poise was impeccable.
“Sorry, Elvira. We were too engrossed just now.” Judy was also dressed splendidly. She smiled, looking gentle and graceful like
a socialite.
Calvin didn’t move. He smiled and took a sip from an expensive cup, his eyes gleaming with superiority as he glanced at Zach. Amber called a servant to bring in more coffee. The cups used were the cheapest kind used by servants and the coffee was the worst quality. The treatment was worlds apart from that given to Calvin
Elvira was used to the differing treatment but felt worse today because Zach was discriminated against.
“Marsh, say hi to Zach.” Elvira ignored them and looked at Marsh.
“Yeah, I heard you. Don’t nag” Marsh’s attention was on his games and didn’t look up.
“Marsh!” Elvira couldn’t stand seeing her brother like that.
Zach stopped her. “It’s okay.” Zach glanced at the obese boy sitting on the armchair across them. Marsh was turning thirteen this year and was 5.6 feet. Marsh looked like Elvira but was too overweight, which made him unattractive,
Vincent looked at the dashing man beside Elvira. Zach also had presence and bearing. Still, Judy said he was working as a waiter. He thought, “How could such a man be his son–in–law? Elvira was simply fooling around?
“Elvira, why would you choose him of all men? He’s just a waiter. You’ve shamed your family. Vincent couldn’t bear it anymore. He felt that sitting with Zach degraded him.
