When Yuliana found Zorion, he was sitting in the garden while in a daze.
He was under a tree, holding onto a branch while staring at it emptily.
There was an obvious look of disgust in Yuliana's eyes.
She hated the simple-minded Zorion the most!
But she quickly hid away her look of disgust.
Now that Tremaine had found out about the things she had done, she had to gain a solid foothold in the Quartley Palace once again!
Yuliana shouted, "Zorion!"
Hearing this, Zorion turned towards her.
He saw Yuliana.
She was running towards him.
Zorion's eyes still looked dull as she approached him.
He hadn't seen his wife in such a long time.
He had asked about her.
Madam Quartley told him that she was busy dealing with something and that she would be back when she was done.
Zorion then stopped thinking about her.
When he saw his wife approaching, he didn't get excited to see her. Instead he felt somewhat confused.
Yuliana ran towards Zorion and hugged him.
Zorion was quiet.
This was the first time Yuliana had hugged him on her own accord.
He was at a loss from this. He had no idea where to put his hands and feet.
"My... my wife," Zorion stammered.
Yuliana then made a decision and lifted up her head and kissed Zorion.
This was also the first time Yuliana had kissed Zorion, ever, even though it was only on the cheek.
She didn't find this disgusting at all.
Because Zorion was still a very handsome man.
After getting kissed by Yuliana, Zorion was stunned. His cheeks blushed.
He blushed from head to toe, looking like a cooked lobster.
She knew how crazy Zorion was for her, so crazy that even the simplest of things would win him over. All she did was simply clean herself up a little and he'd go crazy for her.
"Zorion, do you think I'm beautiful?" Yuliana asked in a bewitching manner.
Zorion gulped hard.
He then said slowly, "Dear, why is your mouth so red? It looks like a monkey's bottom. Just like the ones you can see in the zoo."
Yuliana looked at him quietly.
Normally, she would have taken off her high heels and hit him with them by now.
But she had to be nice to him for now.
She wasn't the Yuliana she used to be anymore!
She had to appease Zorion.
She had to tough it out!
Hang in there!
Yuliana muttered this herself.
She put on a fake smile and said, "Oh you flatter me Zorion. My lips aren't like a monkey's bottom, they are much lovelier than that. Don't you think so?"
