Zachary's phone suddenly vibrated due to an incoming message. He took a look and realized that it was a message from Yvonne.
He got her phone number from Grace.
He had saved her number in his phone for a long time.
Now, there was a message from her.
He frowned. Aidan did not share his phone number with her and neither did Grace. Then, how did she manage to get hold of his phone number?
He drove the car to the side of the road, stopped the engine, and checked the message.
It read, "I'm Yvonne. We didn't use any contraceptive methods last night, should I take the morning after pill?"
Zachary's blood rushed to his brain in an instant.
He looked at the text message and did not move for quite a while.
After a long period of time, he finally drove to Yvonne's unit.
When he opened the door with his key, she was having dinner.
The spicy aroma from her dish filled the whole unit. He could smell it from right where he stood.
She had heard her doorknob turn and she turned towards its direction. She was shocked to see a tall, sturdy figure standing at the entrance of her unit.
How did he come by so soon?
She immediately stood up and walked towards him. He remained at the entrance.
Seconds later, she was face to face with him. Yvonne said, "I can't believe you're really here. I thought you wouldn't come."
Zachary looked indifferent as he stared down at her.
His gaze alone was able to make her feel numb all over. In fact, she was beginning to think that he was born to dominate her.
Her legs went limp and she almost fell to the floor.
She was in such a regrettable state that she kept her head lowered and wouldn't look him in the eyes.
He remained silent and walked into the unit after taking another glance at her.
She was a little perplexed so she quickly reached out and grabbed him.
She grabbed his sleeve.
Just like how she did the day before.
Zachary frowned, stopped in his tracks and looked at her again.
Yvonne hesitated for a bit but still raised her eyes to look at him, "When are you finally going to let me meet my daughter?"
"That depends on how you behave," he sounded cold.
She frowned slightly and looked conflicted, "Can you even fathom how much I miss her?"
"I can't." He interrupted her in a deep voice, "It's been more than a year already, so you can wait for a while longer."
She was rendered speechless.
Sorrow welled up in her eyes and she wanted to say something. However, in the next second, he held her wrist with a tight grip.
She was caught off guard and could only raise her head. When her eyes met his, she felt her heart skip a beat.
In a cold tone, he said, "You're being too greedy."
She fell silent.
Indeed.
She was being greedy, and she wouldn't have returned if it wasn't due to her greed.
There was so much that she longed for.
She couldn't deny any of these.
She just wanted her daughter, wanted Zachary, and wanted the three of them to be able to live together. Even if she had to break her promise, she still wanted to get together with him.
However, how could she let him know all these?
She stepped forward a little, looked at him, and said gently, "Aren't you greedy as well? You already did that with me on the first day I arrived." "Are you referring to s*x?" Zachary asked her directly.
Yvonne's face reddened.
His eyes turned darker. He took out a box of medicine and said, "I'm here to deliver the morning after pill."
She was startled. She realized that the message she sent him hadn't brought her the results she wanted.
