“Innocent my foot! He’s secretly reading X-rated novels and lied to me that it was teaching materials for military use. If I hadn’t spotted them when I was cleaning in the morning, I would’ve really thought that he didn’t know anything at all! What a jerk!”
With an exceedingly frustrated expression on her face, Sabrina tapped her leg on the coffee table. Eyeing her, I dissolved into laughter, sauntering over and plopping down beside her. “Well, I think you simply can’t wait to get married, eager to make things official with your Prince Charming. In that case, why don’t you just hold a grand wedding with Zachary? With that, the home run you’re hankering after with be a reality soon enough.”
“My mother is still traveling the globe, and my father is trying to persuade her back so that he can work on giving me a brother. How is he to meet my parents when both of them are away?”
Honestly speaking, the Zimmer family was indeed very bizarre. Their businesses were vast, but every patriarch had a cavalier attitude. In the previous generation, it was a renowned wastrel who invested in everything and suffered massive losses. In the end, he miraculously recouped his losses with a single project. And in the generation before that, it was a rake who was showered with affection — his life a mess with women fighting over him. He didn’t pay any mind to the family business.
As such, it was truly a miracle that the family hadn’t gone bankrupt by the time Sabrina’s father took over the reins. The man was unreliable as well, galloping all over the globe with his wife. He entrusted all company matters to the vice president, so it was a wonder that he hadn’t been swindled.
Christopher had told me that he wasn’t coming back today since he had something important to handle, but I didn’t ask him where he was going. Unlike me, he still had family and friends, so he naturally couldn’t stick with me every day.
Not in the mood to cook dinner, I took Sabrina out for a meal. On our way to dinner, we bumped into Zachary, who drove past with a group of men all dressed in military uniforms. It seemed as though they were protecting some big shot, so Sabrina didn’t greet him impulsively. She merely wound down the car window and stared at him. The moment Zachary looked in our direction, he immediately flashed his headlights thrice.
It wasn’t until he disappeared from sight did Sabrina marvel, “How handsome! He’s built according to my specifications! It’ll really be a travesty of our meeting if I don’t put my stamp of ownership on him and bring him home.”
I reached out and flicked the headlights a few times. Every time Christopher left, he likewise loved to flash his headlights thrice at me. I asked him what it meant, but he acted all secretive and refused to tell me.
