She looked at his chin. Zachary's jaw was tight, sharp and angular. He had also grown a beard. Compared to seven years ago, he looked more masculine now.
One of his hands was still wrapped around her waist, whereas the other was slowly sliding down her back.
Yvonne instantly froze. Her eyes widened as she looked at him.
He was flirting.
She felt like she was being mocked. Tears started welling up in her eyes as she stared at him helplessly.
"What are you doing?"
His hand did not move away. It remained there and it seemed like he did not intend to move.
"Is it appropriate for you to put your hand on a woman's a*s?" She asked bravely.
"So what if it's not appropriate?" Zachary leaned forward and looked at her. There was a flash of light in his gaze, and his voice was slightly deeper than usual. Yvonne could see that he was slightly blushing too.
She knew that he was deliberately trying to torture her.
She lifted her hand and pushed away his grip on her chin.
She knew that if she refused him, he would be more forceful. This was something he was capable of doing.
Especially now that he was next in line to inherit the Lowe family's assets, he was no longer the young and gentle boy he once was. Whatever he wanted, he would get.
He had grown into an excellent and successful businessman.
Thoughts ran through Yvonne's mind. Her eyes brightened as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
If Zachary was not going to let go, she wouldn't either.
He narrowed his eyes, and his facial expression became more serious. He gripped her hand slightly hard and pressed her against his chest.
She froze in an instant.
"You're wearing a bathrobe and you are teasing a man. You're not in the position to take advantage of me," he reminded her.
She was about to cry with embarrassment.
He did it on purpose.
She didn't want to admit defeat. She just stared at him with her watery eyes. She seemed utterly pitiful.
"Zachary, you still have feelings for me, don't you?"
He was caught off guard by her question.
She felt it too.
However, he replied indifferently, "Still have feelings for you? Look at how you are dressed now. Any man will have feelings too."
"Is that so? So, you admit that you still have feelings for me?"
All of a sudden, he was a little embarrassed, and there was even anger in his eyes.
Who did this woman think she was?
He snorted, "Any man will have such a reaction at this very moment."
"What if the woman in your arms is another woman?" She asked directly.
He was caught off guard once again.
He was a little annoyed, "No matter which woman, I'll still have the same reaction."
Upon hearing his reply, Yvonne's heart sank.
She laughed sarcastically, trying to hide the loneliness that suddenly overwhelmed her.
She did not want him to find out about her emotions.
Without saying anything else, she let go of Zachary's hand and said, "Then let me go. If you are lacking affection then just look for someone else. I'm going to go put on some clothes."
