Chapter 1208
Zachary took a shower and changed into some casual clothing. He took one of the treats that she
had brought and shoved the whole thing in his mouth.
The mochi made from sticky rice and cream was very sweet.
He didn''t eat stuff like this usually.
However, he swallowed it this time. It tasted very sweet.
It was so sweet that it left him longing for more.
He turned to look at Yvonne, who wasying on the bed. He poured himself a ss of wine and
walked out with it in his hand.
Soon, the butler noticed him from a distance and came up to him hurriedly. "Young Master Zachary."
Zachary, who was feelingzy, ordered, "Order the kitchen staff to prepare supper. It has to be
ready in two hours. Arrange for someone to serve them at anytime."
"It''s all ready. There are main dishes, side dishes, desserts, milk, juice, and drinks. We''re waiting for
your orders."
Zachary looked at his watch. It was eleven at night.
He said, "Prepare something for me to eat."
"Yes, Young Master Zachary."
Zachary recovered his strength after eating. He then received a call from his mother before he
returned to the room.
"Zachary, you''ve returned to Soutnd?" There was a hint of surprise in Madam Lowe''s tone. There
was a heavier sense of gossip in it.
Zachary could tell that his mother had heard some news.
It seemed that the butler had told his mother he had brought Yvonne back with him.
This group of gossipers had told her everything.
Zachary knew what his mother was most concerned about, so he didn''t hide the truth from her,
"Mom, I have registered my marriage with Maria''s mother."
"Ah?" Madam Lowe couldn''t help eximing, and her breathing became unstable. Then she praised
him, "Well done, son."
Zachary didn''t know whether tough or cry. His mother, a dignified person like her, had always
acted like ady from a respectable family. How could she say something like that?
He shook his head andughed, saying, "I''m sorry about not informing you earlier. We just got
registered this morning."
"It doesn''t matter," Madam Loweughed brightly and said, "Marriage is a choice of your own. You
have theplete right to make your own decisions. I won''t interfere, and I won''t me you for not
telling me sooner."
"Mom!" Zachary didn''t know whether tough or cry. He said, "Your support and understanding
make me even more apologetic."
"If you''re really sorry, hurry up and tell your daughter. Even though Maria didn''t say anything these
days, it''s obvious she misses you. I think she misses her mommy too, but she refuses to admit it."
"Mom, please help me tell Maria." Zachary said, "I will go and talk to her when wee back.
Yvonne and I will stay in Soutnd for a few more days."
"Zachary, now that you two have registered your marriage, what about the wedding? I should start
preparing for a wedding, don''t I? I should order a wedding dress. Jewelry, yes, Yvonne needs to
have all the jewelry. As her mother-inw, I have to give her the best jewelry." "Mom, I will have to
trouble you with this." Zachary was still very polite towards his mother.
"My silly son, you are finally married. I am so happy. I''m sure your father is smiling in heaven,"
Madam Lowe said sincerely.
At the mention of his father, Zachary paused; he didn''t say anything for a long time.
Madam Lowe was smart, and she could tell something was wrong.
"Zachary, what''s wrong?"
"Mom!" Zachary paused for a while and said, "Nothing, it''s okay."
"You''re hiding something from me, aren''t you?" Madam Lowe questioned.
Zachary said, "No, Mom, I''m really okay."
"You quarrel with Yvonne this afternoon, didn''t you?" Madam Lowe, seeing that her son wasn''t
saying anything, became anxious. "Don''t try to hide it from me. I know everything. You two
quarreled in front of your father''s portrait. The butler told me everything."
Ugh!
Zachary gave up.
"Don''t me the butler. He watched you grow up from a little kid and knows your temper well. When
you brought Yvonne to our house to pay respects to your father and started arguing in front of his
portrait, I knew something''s not right. What''s going on?"
"Mom!" Zachary hesitated for a moment and said, "You may not know what happened before. Dad
had always been careful and strict in doing things, so naturally, he wouldn''t have told you this.
Yvonne''s departure back then had something to do with Dad. I know the entire truth now."
"What did you say? Your father had something to do with your breakup?"
"Yes," Zachary said in a low tone, "Dad was afraid that I would dy my studies and wouldn''t study
abroad, so he requested for Yvonne to leave me."
Madam Lowe was surprised. "I never knew about all this. Your dad didn''t tell me anything. I don''t
know anything about it at all."
"That''s why I said Dad does things too secretively; he even managed to hide it from you," Zachary
sighed. "More than eight years."
His words were filled with regret, regret for the past eight years of his life.
For the past few years, they were separated.
Even Maria was seven now.
How many more years did they have?
Madam Lowe could tell from his tone that he felt helpless and regretful. She persuaded her son
quickly, "Son, your father didn''t tell me anything. Don''t me him. Although he did so, he only
wanted what was best for you. It was just that he did bad things with good intentions."
"I know," Zachary said, "Yvonne also asked me not to me him."
"She said that?" Madam Lowe was even more surprised.
"Yvonne is very kind," Zachary said, "She would rather let herself live a hard life with Maria than tell
me the truth. It was only when I recently learned about the truth from other people and questioned
her that she confessed. But she still didn''t want me to me Dad. She is really selfless and kind."
Madam Lowe was also surprised, and then she said, "Then Yvonne is truly a kind-hearted child.
Son, you have to treat her well. Only when a woman really loves you will she be willing to give birth
to a child for you."
"I know," Zachary understood this as well.

"The wedding should be huge," Madam Lowe said, "It should be grand. I will start the preparations
now. You can''t hold such a simple wedding like Grace and Heinz. It was so simple that it looked like
nothing. Our family has already let Yvonne down once. This time, we can''t let her down again."
"Mom, thank you," Zachary thanked his mother sincerely for her understanding.
"Son, don''t be so courteous with me," Madam Lowe asked again, "Why were you two quarreling?"
"I was unable to ept the fact that she was still refusing to tell me the truth behind her
disappearance even in front of Dad''s portrait."
"Oh," Madam Lowe asked again, "What about the second time? What happened the second time?
Why did she leave Maria with you and leave?"
"She was ill," Zachary said, "She had been treating her illness for the past year."
"Ill?" Madam Lowe''s voice raised, "What kind of illness?"
"Autoimmune disease."
"Zachary," Madam Lowe didn''t understand this illness, but she knew that it had to be serious. She
said earnestly, "Don''t hurt her anymore. It''s not easy for her to tell you that she is sick. Maria is still
angry at her even now. As a mother, I know that feeling. Enjoy your time with her in Soutnd.
When youe back, I will let Maria call her Mommy."
"Mom!" Zachary didn''t expect his mother to be so open- minded. Not only did she not ask him
anything else, she evenforted him.
This made Zachary astonished.
"Mom, Yvonne has recovered from her illness," Zachary says: "It''s just that she can''t overwork
herself."
He remembered Fabian saying that Yvonne could not overwork herself within the year.
Therefore, after doing it the second time, he did not dare to continue. He was worried her body
couldn''t take more.
