Chapter 1156


    Yvonne wasn''t afraid to face Heinz. She smiled in return and responded, "Thank you, Mr. Jones,


    long time no see. You look as charming as ever."


    "Thanks to you, I meet up with Zachary more often now. Inparison with his gloomy aura, my


    radiant aura certainly makes me appear to be more outstanding," Heinz smiled as he answered. He


    also took the opportunity to jokingly mock Zachary.


    Of course, he was also hinting to Yvonne as to how Zachary hadn''t been doing well for the past


    year.


    Although Yvonne didn''t wish to admit that she was affected, she still had to admit that what Heinz


    said truly highlighted the pain that Zachary had to go through.


    If she was the one who had caused him all those pain, she would feel even more guilty about it.


    She pursed her lips and looked down as she didn''t know how to answer Heinz.


    Zachary shot a nce at her.


    From the corner of Yvonne''s eyes, she could easily sense his sharp gazending on her.


    She took a deep breath and continued to lower her eyes without saying anything.


    Zachary responded, "Am I really that bad?"


    "You?" Heinz smiled and answered sarcastically, "Of course not, you just happen to be more


    gloomy than I described. Who was it who often suffered from insomnia due to lovesickness, as well


    as the fact that he had no one to share his feelings with?"


    Zachary''s eyes became sharp in an instant. He nced at Heinz with a warning gaze, "That


    certainly would not be me."


    Naturally, Heinz understood that some jokes simply could not be taken too far. Otherwise, it would


    only make things awkward.


    He smiled and said, "Well, let''s stop here. Let me ask you then, Zachary, where are you heading? Is


    it safe for me to assume that you did this intentionally, considering how you nned to leave with


    Yvonne immediately after receiving my call just now?"


    "Weren''t you only going toe in half an hour?" Zachary responded nonchntly without looking


    embarrassed at all, "I was just nning to run some errands before you were supposedly due to


    come over."


    "Haha," Heinzughed as he understood Zachary''s actual intent.


    They knew each other too well. He looked at Zachary with a mischievous smile, "How should we go


    about it then? Zachary, now that I''m here, are you nning to make me wait while you run your


    errands?"


    Zachary also gave a half-smile while gazing at Heinz sharply as a silent warning.


    Heinz met his gaze and still found nothing wrong with his own behavior. Hence, he smiled at


    Zachary in return, "Zachary, are you really nning to leave me here and work on your errands


    now?" "Of course not," Zachary answered while gritting his teeth, "Let''s go, I''ll get them der."


    "Haha, I know you are a good man who wouldn''t forget the principles of being a good host, Zachary.


    The teaching of the Lowe family is indeed exceptional," Heinz didn''t forget to praise Zachary.


    Zachary also smiled and said, "Let''s go. You talk too much, have you be a chatterbox after


    having more children?"


    "Not really." Heinz belittled himself, "Grace said that I''m loquacious, but at least you make it sound


    better than it actually is."


    Wasn''t it still the same?


    Zachary nced at him and turned around.

    Yvonne followed closely behind him.


    She was still in a trance and couldn''t help but ask Zachary, "President, if you''re busy, I can help you


    with your errands instead."


    Hearing this, both Zachary and Heinz looked at her at the same time.


    Yvonne felt even more confused.


    Zachary''s gaze changed as itnded on Yvonne''s face as if there was a deeper meaning behind it.


    Heinz, on the other hand,ughed out loud and said to Yvonne, "Miss Attwood, there are no errands


    to run, let''s go up together."


    Yvonne was very persistent. She looked at Zachary as if she was waiting for him to answer.


    "No need," Zachary said in a deep voice.


    Only then did Yvonne stop asking.


    Zachary then led Heinz and Yvonne upstairs.


    The three of them stood in the elevator. Zachary stood straight with no expression on his face as he


    continued to maintain his reputation as a cold, distant man.


    There was a meaningful smile on Heinz''s face as he looked at Zachary and Yvonne. His gaze felt


    weird as if he was doing that on purpose.


    Yvonne felt awkward being stared at by him like that. So she just pretended as if she didn''t notice it


    at all.


    Zachary also felt annoyed by his gaze, so he looked at Heinz directly.


    Heinz smiled and said, "What''s wrong, Zachary?"


    "How are your children?" Zachary brought up a new topic as he wished to divert Heinz''s attention.


    He understood that Heinz''s purpose of visiting was to mock him.


    Of course, it was undeniable that he had done this out of care towards him as well.


    However, Zachary did not like being treated that way. He preferred to be able to control situations so


    that he could handle things better.


    Now that he was being watched, he felt as if his rhythm was messed up.


    Heinz came here to watch the show. In fact, that wasn''t enough for him as he nned to add more


    icing onto the cake as well.


    Zachary felt very helpless, but he also knew that some things were best unspoken, so he allowed


    Heinz to do whatever he wished to.


    As soon as his children were brought up, Heinz''s attention was instantly diverted as he proceeded


    to ramble about them.


    "Sebastian and Sylvia are so cute, you have no clue how they have managed to melt my heart.


    Really, Zachary, my heart has meltedpletely."


    "You''re exaggerating," Zachary mocked him.


    "Zachary, you only have one child, so you won''t be able to understand the joy of having four. That''s


    why you should get married quickly and have more children so that Maria will have someone to y


    with. Look at how lonely she is now."


    As soon as Maria''s name was mentioned, Yvonne''s whole body went stiff.


    She stood still against the wall of the elevator, with sadness and guilt in her eyes.


    Zachary also nced at Yvonne subconsciously, but he did not say anything.


    Heinz nced at Yvonne deliberately and asked, "Miss Attwood, what do you think? Don''t you


    agree that Maria is pretty lonely as well?"


    If she refused to speak, he would just ask for her to speak.


    However, Yvonne didn''t dare to answer nor did she know how to answer. No matter what she


    answered, it wasn''t going to be suitable. As such, she smiled embarrassedly as a response to his


    question.


    Upon noticing how she remained silent, Zachary''s eyes turned colder.


    Yvonne noticed Zachary''s expression, which made her feel disoriented as her heart tightened.


    Soon, the elevator reached its destination.


    The three of them exited the elevator together.


    Heinz said to Yvonne, "Miss Attwood, you''re dressed really professionally today. Is this your office


    look?"


    Yvonne pursed her lips and answered, "I am currently President Lowe''s personal assistant."


    "Personal assistant?" Heinz was shocked and pondered over those words before saying, "Oh, that


    sounds cool. Looks like I should ask Grace to be my personal assistant as well so that I can


    see her 24/7."
