Lady Warrior's Warth on Divorce Day novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Zoya’s face instantly darkened. “You’re overthinking it. I was just protecting him.”

Gilbert looked at Zoya’s wrist with a suspicious gaze. Wren’s hand was still holding her wrist.

He thought, Although I know Zoya will be Mr. Richmond’s bodyguard for three months, does being a bodyguard involve holding hands and sleeping together?

Mr. Richmond has never held someone’s hand while sleeping.

“Even as a bodyguard, he wouldn’t let you stay by his side while he sleeps,” Gilbert said.

After all, Wren never liked anyone getting close to him while sleeping.

“You should ask him. He was holding my hand, so I couldn’t leave,” Zoya said.

She thought, ‘Honestly, I am the victim! Gilbert is looking at me as if I had taken advantage of Wren.

“Is that so?” Wren’s cold voice was a little hoarser than usual. “Was I holding your hand?”

Zoya’s body stiffened, and she realized Wren had woken up at some point.

Zoya said concisely, “Yes, last night you didn’t sleep well. I heard movement and came to check on you, and you grabbed my

hand.

Then, she added, “I didn’t get into bed. I sat on the floor and slept against the nightstand all night.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Wren’s eyes. At this moment, his fingers were still holding her wrist. The warmth of her skin continuously transmitted through her wrist to his fingertips and palm.

He thought, ‘Did I do something to alert her?

I probably had a nightmare again!‘

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have dreamt of being whipped by his father when he was a child.

At that time, no matter how he wailed or begged for mercy, it was useless.

His father would still wield the whip, lashing his back again and again.

In the past, he often had this nightmare, and even saw a psychiatrist and took medication for a period.

Later, he gradually recovered, and he hadn’t had this dream for many years. But he didn’t expect to have it again last night.

He thought, “Was it because she saw the whip marks on my back yesterday that I recalled that time and had that nightmare again?

‘However, her hand is very warm.

“This time, after I had a nightmare, I don’t have that nauseating feeling. Is it because I have been holding her hand?‘

He even felt he had a very good sleep.

Zoya said, “Mr. Richmond, can you let go of my hand?”

He had held her hand all night, and now it felt a bit numb.

He frowned slightly, “Didn’t we agree you would call me Wren, Zoe?”

Zoya suddenly had an urge to roll her eyes.

Meanwhile, Gilbert, standing beside them, was dumbfounded after hearing this, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.

He thought, ‘Is Mr. Richmond truly just interested in Zoya?

I have never heard him call a woman so intimately, let alone ask a woman to call him by his first name!

Zoya pursed her lips. “Wren, can you let go now?”

She thought, How I address him is not a big issue. I will be fine, even though it feels a little bit uncomfortable.

Wren slowly released his fingers, and Zoya’s hand finally gained freedom.

She moved her wrist joints to get the blood flowing, then said, “I’m going back to my room. I need to go to the Lucero family Memorial Hall today.

“I won’t have time to protect you. Your other bodyguards will have to

The name of the building was carved on a plaque of ebony wood in large golden characters above the main entrance.

A quote was also on the wall. It read: Never forget those who come before us, and never fail those who come after.)

The imposing and grand memorial hall evoked a sense of solemnity

Standing before the memorial hall, Zoya could almost feel the weight of time.

Zoya’s eyes were slightly red as she thought, “This is the memorial hall my grandfather once guarded with his life!

Just as she was about to step into the memorial hall, someone stopped her. “This is the Lucero family Memorial Hall. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted.”

Zoya replied. “I am Zoya Lucero, the descendant of Abbott Lucero.

“Because my parents passed away, their ashes are to be placed in the memorial hall for three days, and their memorial tablet will be set up inside, according to the Lucero family rules!”

“Abbott’s offspring the staff guarding the memorial hall asked, somewhat puzzled. “But there shouldn’t be anyone left from Abbott’s family

Zoya said, “My family has lived in Ranard City for a long time. Before I came, I spoke with Hubert Lucero. He should know about this. Can you ask him to come out?”

Hearing this, the staff member said somewhat awkwardly, “But he had something to do and went out today.”

The memorial hall staff knew that he had actually gone to play card games, but he couldn’t say that to Zoya.

“He left? Zoya asked, surprised.

Then I’ll help you contact Hubert,” the staff member said.

Just as he about to pull out his phone to make the call, a voice suddenly rang out. “Hubert isn’t here today, so I’m in charge. Let me handle this.”

Zoya turned her head and saw Daphne, whom she had met in the restaurant yesterday, walking towards her.

She was followed by several other people whom Zoya had also seen in the restaurant yesterday.

The staff member, relieved, said, “Daphne, this woman says she’s Abbott’s family and wants to set up a memorial tablet and place her parents‘ ashes in the memorial hall today.”

“Abbott’s family?” Daphne looked at Zoya with disdain. “Everyone knows Abbott has no family left.

“Besides, not just anyone can be allowed into the Lucero family Memorial Hall!”
