Chapter 1596
Corinne made herself comfortable and sat on the edge of the bed. "It's the
weekend, and I have nothing better to do since I don't have to go to work."
Zachary frowned. "You should avoid coming in the morning. I know you're agile,
but there's a big risk you'll get caught whenever you sneak in through the
window. You need to be more careful.”
Corinne crossed her legs nonchalantly and said, "I'm bold enough to come here
because I know I won't get caught.”
Zachary felt somewhat powerless and remarked in a sour tone, "Fine. Do
whatever you want. It's not like I can tell you what to do." "Are you angry?"
Corinne glanced at him.
Zachary had a sullen expression as he turned his wheelchair to face the floor-to-
ceiling window. He looked out and said, "No."
Corinne then uncrossed her legs and approached him. She turned his wheelchair
so he was facing her. "Pfft! Where did you get the nerve to be upset with me?"
Zachary looked up at her. "I'm not upset with you. You're simply doing as you
please, and I have no right to interfere." "Is this what you mean when you say
you're not upset?" Corinne lifted his chin playfully. "Your expression tells a
different story."
Zachary retorted calmly, "My expression has always been like this.”
Corinne chuckled. "Oh, please! I've seen you in all your expressions. Do you
really think I can't tell when you're upset?"
Zachary felt a heaviness in his chest. Unable to stand nor recall the past, he felt
trapped in a quagmire with no means of escape.
Corinne was tired of stooping, so she squatted in front of him and rested her chin
on her cupped hands. "Are you mad I came too early in the morning? Or are you
mad that I walked in front of the balcony? Maybe you're mad that I interrupted
your alone time with Sophia?"
Zachary's irritation dissipated inexplicably when he gazed at her innocent and
endearing demeanor. "I'm mad at myself for not being able to protect you and the
child.”
Corinne's lips raised into a grin. "Then that's justified. You ought to be mad at
yourself!"
Zachary expected a bit more reassurance from her and was thus taken aback by
her blunt remark. "Did you come here just to annoy me?" "Of course not, mister!"
Corinne tilted her head to one side. "Didn't you get what I mean?" "What are we
talking about again?" Zachary frowned a little.
"You asked me why I came at this time, and I answered you," Corinne said." Did
you not get what I meant by my answer?"
Zachary repeated her answer, "You told me it's the weekend, and that you have
nothing better to do because you don't need to go to work." He understood her
answer perfectly well.
His puzzled expression led Corinne to rub her temples. She sighed and said, “Do
I need to spell it out for you? I'm trying to imply that I miss you! Ugh, it's so cringy
when I say that out loud!"
Zachary was caught off-guard by her reaction and felt his heart skip a beat." Is
she teasing me on purpose to see my reaction?" he wondered.
"Couldn't you have at least considered the circumstances rather than showing up
unannounced?" He sighed softly and was no longer annoyed.
Corinne squatted in front of him and rolled her eyes at him. "Shouldn't you
respond by saying you miss me too? I didn't come here to hear you lecture me!"
Zachary found her quite amusing and could not resist chuckling. He smirked and
asked, "How would you know if I missed you too?"
Corinne stood up and shrugged. "You have a point! How can you miss me if you
don't even remember me? Guess I'm just reading too much into it."
