Chapter 226


    “Innocent my foot! He’s secretly reading X-rated novels and lied to me that it was teaching materials for


    military use. If I hadn’t spotted them when I was cleaning in the morning, I would’ve really thought that


    he didn’t know anything at all! What a jerk!”


    With an exceedingly frustrated expression on her face, Sabrina tapped her leg on the coffee table.


    Eyeing her, I dissolved intoughter, sauntering over and plopping down beside her. “Well, I think you


    simply can’t wait to get married, eager to make things official with your Prince Charming. In that case,


    why don’t you just hold a grand wedding with Zachary? With that, the home run you’re hankering after


    with be a reality soon enough.”


    “My mother is still traveling the globe, and my father is trying to persuade her back so that he can work


    on giving me a brother. How is he to meet my parents when both of them are away?”


    Honestly speaking, the Zimmer family was indeed very bizarre. Their businesses were vast, but every


    patriarch had a cavalier attitude. In the previous generation, it was a renowned wastrel who invested in


    everything and suffered massive losses. In the end, he miraculously recouped his losses with a single


    project. And in the generation before that, it was a rake who was showered with affection — his life a


    mess with women fighting over him. He didn’t pay any mind to the family business.


    As such, it was truly a miracle that the family hadn’t gone bankrupt by the time Sabrina’s father took


    over the reins. The man was unreliable as well, galloping all over the globe with his wife. He entrusted


    allpany matters to the vice president, so it was a wonder that he hadn’t been swindled.


    Christopher had told me that he wasn’ting back today since he had something important to handle,


    but I didn’t ask him where he was going. Unlike me, he still had family and friends, so he naturally


    couldn’t stick with me every day.


    Not in the mood to cook dinner, I took Sabrina out for a meal. On our way to dinner, we bumped into


    Zachary, who drove past with a group of men all dressed in military uniforms. It seemed as though they


    were protecting some big shot, so Sabrina didn’t greet him impulsively. She merely wound down the


    car window and stared at him. The moment Zachary looked in our direction, he immediately shed his


    headlights thrice.

    It wasn’t until he disappeared from sight did Sabrina marvel, “How handsome! He’s built ording to


    my specifications! It’ll really be a travesty of our meeting if I don’t put my stamp of ownership on him


    and bring him home.”


    I reached out and flicked the headlights a few times. Every time Christopher left, he likewise loved to


    sh his headlights thrice at me. I asked him what it meant, but he acted all secretive and refused to


    tell me.


    “Sabby, was there any meaning when you shed the headlights thrice just now? Or was it simply to


    apprise Zachary of your presence?”


    At that, Sabrina beamed from ear to ear. “Don’t you know the meaning of that? You’re really behind


    things, girl. shing the headlights thrice means ‘I love you.’ I was expressing my abiding love to him.”


    “Huh?” I blinked. So, that’s what it means by shing the headlights thrice. No wonder Christopher


    always shes his headlights at me! All at once, a sense of warmth suffused me. Fishing out the


    lollipop he bought me yesterday, I unwrapped it and ced it into my mouth. The sweet caramel taste


    spread from my tongue to my heart.


    I then sent Christopher a text: The lollipop tastes great. I love it! Remember to have your dinner.


    In no time, the man replied: I’m having dinner now. My mother is having a fit, and the entire family


    doesn’t know why. Meanwhile, my father is prepared to be punished however she sees fit. Women are


    truly scary when they get up in arms. Can you please don’t punish me in the future? Then, he even


    added an emoji at the end.


    My fingers brushed against the image of the emoji. The familial bond among the Lane family is truly


    wonderful! From his words alone, I could sense that they were an incredibly happy family. I then


    countered in another message: What about kicking you out of the room instead, then?


    In response, Christopher sent a row of crying emojis before ending it with a hug, writing: Then, I’ll suffer


    the punishment with you. I’ll take the bottom while you take the top.


    Oh God, the conversation took a suggestive turn all of a sudden! What strange things were in those X-


    rated books he read that he has such a great desire to explore in bed?


    After ending the conversation with him, I glimpsed a banner on the wall outside the car window.


    Recalling Christopher’s impending engagement to Monica, I asked, “Sabby, when do you think


    Christopher is going to get engaged to Monica?”
