Chapter 99
Zach gave her a puzzled glance. “Hmm?”
“I've got some vitamins and energy boosters at home that really work wonders.
When are you coming back? I'll have them ready for you,” Mirabella explained
casually. After all, she had taken a “little’ welcome gift from him. It was only right
to offer something in return.
Truth be told, her remedies were worth a lot more than the “little’ gift.
Coming back to his senses, Zach realized his sister meant well and smiled. He
was just about to speak when he heard her volce again. “Or just text me your
address, and I can mail them to
55, and I can you, no big deal.”
Seeing the earnest look on his sister's face, Zach swallowed his initial refusal
and said, “Thank you, I'll be staying at home for a while.”
Mirabella snapped her fingers at him. “OK, I'll give them to you tonight.” With
that, she hopped out of the car with a cool move.
Resting his hand on the steering wheel, Zach watched his sister walk away and
shook his head with a smile. One had to admit, she was pretty cute, or rather,
quite dashing.
Starting the car, Zach turned around and left the school. As he drove off, he
passed the Gilbert family’s car head-on.
Sitting in the car, Summer glanced up just in time to catch a glimpse of Zach's
face in the passing vehicle. “Stop the car,” she urged the driver.
The driver slammed on the brakes, pulling over to the side of the road. Summer
pushed the car door open, but when she looked back, Zach's car had already
vanished into the distance. Biting her lip in frustration, She quickly pulled out her
phone and dialed Zach’s number.
After several rings, Zach finally answered, “Summer? Is there something you
need?”
Summer's gaze still followed the direction Zach had gone, and she spoke gently.
“It's nothing. much. I was just wondering if you were back from your business
trip?”
Zach, driving away, paused for a moment before replying without any noticeable
change in his tone. “Not yet. The case at the company is pretty complex. It might
take a while longer.”
Hearing this, Summer's grip on her phone tightened unconsciously, her
expression faltering slightly. After a few seconds, she found her voice again. “Ah,
is that so? Well, let me know when you're coming back. I'll come to the airport to
pick you up.”
Zach responded noncommittally, “I've got a client right now; we'll talk when I'm
free.”
“Okay, then... you go ahead with your work, Zach.”
After hanging up, Summer stood there for a long time, her eyes getting teary
slightly. The cars had only brushed past each other, but she wouldn't mistake that
face or the license plate.
Chapter 99
Why did Zach lie about still being on a business trip? Was it because of
Mirabella’s return that he was acting so cold towards her?
That's right, he was coming from the school. It didn’t take much guessing to know
that Mirabella must have said something to him!
Summer clenched her fists, her sharp nails almost piercing her palms.
