Josephine had always been an egotistical and haughty rich young lady in Zayne's heart, coupled with the fact that her brother was also a rich young master, she was practically a woman who knew no grief or woe even when the sky was falling down.
He did not know that there would come a day when she would put herself down like that.
Zayne’s heart ached tremendously.
It turned out that she was actually so fragile. She must have been terribly hurt after what he did to her back then.
He held Josephine tightly and murmured affectionately, "We’re not kids anymore, Josephine. Don’t torture yourself any longer. Let's get married."
Josephine raised her shimmering and misty phoenix eyes.
Then suddenly, she started unbuttoning her blouse…
Zayne was stupefied.
"What are you doing, Josephine? We’re not married yet."
"There’s no need for that!"
In order to pursue Zayne, Josephine had gone through thistles and thorns, crossed deserts, got wounded, and shed tears. These formalities were not important at all. What was most important was they were able to stay together.
"But I haven’t made a formal marriage proposal yet..." Zayne could not help but think that the occasion was not solemn enough.
"There’s no need for that."
Zayne was stunned. "Just how hungry are you?"
"I’ve been thirsting for more than ten years now. What do you think?"
"Okay, I’ll quench your thirst tonight then," Zayne said, pretending to sound like a victim even after gaining an advantage.
He then picked Josephine up and walked to the big bed.
In the room next door. Jay was not a man who could sit still doing nothing. With the spare time he had, he borrowed Jenson’s laptop and started repairing Monster's data.
When Jay raised his wrist to check the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning. After confirming that his woman had completely forgotten about him now that she had Sis Shirley, Jay sighed.
Zayne's eyes widened with shock. He was still too innocent and inexperienced in front of Jay after all.
Jay was able to worm it out of him in just a few sentences and make him spill out everything he just did with Josephine.
Zayne smacked his mouth as a punishment for himself.
"You may need to spend money when you go to a nightclub, but you will have to spend even more for sleeping with such a pricey woman like my sister. 9.99 million. Remember to come to my house to make your marriage proposal when you’re free,” Jay said with a stern expression.
Zayne was dumbfounded.
He was fine with making the marriage proposal and the dowry, but he felt immensely wronged after Jay tricked him.
Zayne said, "No way. I didn't even ask you for a gift when you pursued my sister, did I?"
Jay replied in a righteous manner, "When I pursued your sister back then, I covered all her living, food, education, and miscellaneous expenses. I basically raised my own wife. How dare you ask me for a gift in return?”
Zayne relented.
