With an apologetic look on his face, Zeke reassured, “Don’t worry, Lacey. I’m still your kept man. I won’t dare to leave you. If I do, I’ll starve to death.”
More tears and a loud sob escaped from Lacey. “Okay. I’ll provide for you for the rest of your life. Don’t leave me ever again.”
Zeke muttered, “You said you’ll only believe in me when it snows in June. That’s why I have to leave your side temporarily to get snow. Do you believe me now?”
“Shut up. If I want the moon, will you get it for me?”
Zeke answered, “I can’t, but I can take you there.”
His words were the truth.
However, the crowd assumed he was just coaxing Lacey.
They were speechless and jealous by the display of love.
He’s really doing so much just to court a girl. He must have used at least several hundred million.
Impressive.
Hannah and Daniel were also crying.
I’m glad that he’s back.
As long as the family was together, it did not matter to them even if they lost all their assets.
Moved by the scene, Nancy wiped her tears. He’s damn good at this. Even I’m touched. Hold on. Nancy, how can you be touched by this? Where are your principles? You have to stand firm. What happened to the sarcastic woman? Lacey’s the best. Lacey’s the greatest. That idiot Zeke Williams is unworthy of her.
Hadley was enraged.
Why? Why didn’t I think of a wonderful courting method like this?
If I confess my love now, I’m sure Lacey will accept me.
I can’t believe that Zeke Williams thought of this first. This is so infuriating!
Lacey, you have to know that heterosexuals are only together to give birth to children. Homosexuals are the only ones who know true love!
Logan Hugh was in more anger than Hadley.
I’m here to arrest you, but you’re showing off your love in my face?
Who the hell are you looking down on?
Logan shouted, “Zeke, you’re back at the right time. Someone has reported you for murder. Please come with us.”
It was only then did the crowd return to their senses.
That’s right. You’re in trouble, but you still have the time to show off your love. Isn’t this absurd?
Lacey and her family tensed.
Worriedly, she looked at Zeke. “Zeke, we...”
He smiled and handed the flowers to Lacey. “For you, Lacey. As usual, I’ll take on everything for you. All you have to do is to stand aside and watch.”
Lacey nodded. “Okay.”
Zeke then turned to look at Hannah and Daniel.
Both nodded at him in encouragement.
Finally, Zeke looked at Logan. “Officer Hugh, you can’t sprout nonsense. If you claim that I’ve murdered someone, tell me who I killed.”
Logan scoffed, “Don’t pretend to be a fool. I have proof of you setting up Hades and killing him.”
Zeke hummed, “Is that so? You’re cursing Hades. Aren’t you afraid that he will come after you?”
Logan snapped, “Stop messing around. Restrain Zeke Williams.”
Instantly, his subordinates walked toward Zeke.
However, Zeke waved his hands. “Hold up. I have evidence to prove my innocence.”
Logan barked, “Show your proof when you’re in the military court.”
Zeke continued, “Don’t be impatient. If you’re sure I’m dead meat, why are you so eager to take me right now. Why don’t we continue after you look at my evidence? Show yourself.”
At that, sounds of a whirring engine came from the end of the street.
The onlookers turned toward the direction of the sound and saw a fleet of luxury cars approaching them.
