Chapter 1710


    Zachary looked so proud as he said that, and Charlotte chuckled. She pinched his cheek and tried to


    scare him, “And how''d you know I am not putting on an act with Peter to lie to you? What if Chris


    actually got his hands on me? I might have to lie to you to keep myself safe.”


    “Even if something did happen to you, then it''s still my fault.” Zachary''s nonchnce was suddenly


    reced by a solemn attitude. “As a guy, anger and fury would be my first reaction. I would kill Chris


    right away, but then I thought that you''re the real victim in this situation. I''m guilty of failing to keep you


    safe. I let you face everything yourself, and that''s the consequence of my actions.”


    “You''re saying that if Chris actually got his hands on me and infected me with AIDS, you will...”


    “I will face it with you ande up with a solution.” Zachary held her head and gazed at her


    affectionately.


    “Well, I don''t believe you!” Charlotte was touched, but she was still angry at the same time. Duality of


    man at work once again. She said, “You''re saying this so I won''t get mad at you! Hmph!”


    Zachary didn''t waste his time exining. He held her hand up and chomped down on her arm.


    She screamed in pain. “What are you doing? That hurts a lot! I''m bleeding!”


    Zachary finally stopped and licked the blood that was flowing from her wound, then he held her chin


    and made her look at him. “Do you trust me now?”


    “Wait, what?” Charlotte paused for a moment, then she realized what he was getting at. “A-Are you


    mad?” If I am infected, Zachary will be dragging himself down with me now that he did this!


    “What if I aminfected?” Charlotte was panicking, and she was angry at Zachary for endangering


    himself. “He might have failed at getting his hands on me, but we dide in contact a lot. I could have


    been infected through other means.”


    “Then, we''ll get infected together and get treated.” Zachary looked calm. “AIDS isn''t necessarily a


    death sentence now. As long as we have money, we can survive. We can face this together.”


    “Zachary, you...” Charlotte pulled his cheeks angrily. “Are you stupid? At least one of us has to be


    healthy.


    Who''s going to look after the kids if we''re both sick?’ “Danrique, obviously. We can toss the


    responsibility on him. He can take care of six kids easily,” Zachary answered easily. “They''re a family


    anyway.”


    “Zachary, you little...” Charlotte couldn''t even make aplete sentence. She was furious about


    Zachary''s attitude.


    “Hey, that''s a good idea, right? I can just pay for their food and be done with it,” Zachary teased. “Then,


    I''ll send Mrs. Rawlston over to make hot cross bunnies for them every day.” Charlotte started crying


    halfway through. She held him tightly, and she couldn''t even say how touched she was.

    “You dummy.” Zachary patted her back gently. “Don''t cry. You have me with you. I''ll keep you safe from


    anything.”


    Charlotte finally broke into a smile, and she blew a snot bubble.


    “Oh my, oh my. What an unsightly woman you are,” Zacharyughed at her while wiping her tears and


    snot away.


    “You''re such a bully! Stop teasing me!”


    Charlotte wasughing and crying at the same time. She held Zachary''s face and wiped her tears and


    snot on him. “This is what you get forughing at me!”


    “Hey, you got it in my mouth, woman!”


    They got into a yful fight, and the argument earlier was forgotten.
