His Coy Lover

“Charles.”

Zelda sweetly smiled.

After dealing with him for so long, she had figured out that this man couldn’t resist her sweet smile. Whenever she made a mistake or caused trouble, as long as she sweetly smiled at him and apologized, he would often show extra mercy and spare her.

However, this time, Zelda’s smile didn’t work. Charles continued to coldly stare at her, and his icy gaze made Zelda shrink.

“Did you hurt?”

Zelda was taken aback.

She thought he would be furious, but he was actually showing concern.

The question was asked in a cold and icy tone, but that was his way of showing care.

Zelda felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She had received his kindness in both lifetimes. She was fortunate indeed.

“I’m fine.”

Zelda said, “The front of the car is severely damaged, but I’m unharmed. Just a bit shaken.”

The sharp eyes cast a piercing glare, extremely sharp. But Zelda no longer felt the chill.

He was naturally indifferent. Even when caring for someone, his demeanor remained cold. She had gotten used to it.

After scrutinizing her to ensure she was unharmed, Charles’s lips curved into a graceful arc, and he sarcastically said, “You got scared too? I thought you were fearless, not afraid of anything.”

“I am fearless. I’m only afraid of you, Charles.”

As she spoke, a large hand seized her wrist, and a powerful force pulled her forward, causing her to fall into Charles’s arms.

A familiar scent penetrated her nostrils.

“Oh, Charles, be gentle. It’ll hurt if you use too much force. Be gentle.”

Charles grabbed her ear.

As she tried to break free from his embrace, she also attempted to save her ear.

After pulling on one side of her ear until it turned red, Charles finally let go.

“Scared of me? If I hadn’t witnessed you speeding twice, I might have believed it. Zelda, did you forget what I told you? Write a ten-thousand-word self-reflection when we get back.”

Zelda rubbed her painful ear.

When her mother was angry, she pulled her ear. Now Charles was doing the same.

Upon hearing his punishment, Zelda almost wanted to jump up.

“Ten thousand words!”

She exclaimed, “Charles, a ten-thousand-word self-reflection? I can’t write that much! I can’t even write a one-thousand-word reflection. Do I really have to write ten thousand words?!”

Charles coldly said, “Keep complaining, and it’ll be twenty thousand words. Write it before midnight tonight. Otherwise, you won’t be allowed to step out of the Winston in the future.”

“Charles, I really know I was wrong. I promise I won’t speed again. Look, I’m fine, and the car is just damaged. Don’t worry; this time, I won’t ask you to compensate for my new car.”

Charles ignored her, focusing on pushing his wheelchair toward the damaged car. Remembering the thrilling scene just now, his momentarily softened heart hardened again.

If he didn’t punish her severely, she would continue speeding next time.

At her speed, if she collided with another car, she might not survive, or at least be severely injured.

“Monday, call someone to tow the car.”

Charles ordered in a deep voice.

Monday immediately made the call.

Charles continued to glare at the woman who wanted to bargain with him and commanded, “Come here and push me over.”

Zelda hurriedly ran over, saying in a pleasing tone, “Charles, we’re a married couple, and they say a night together builds a hundred days of affection. Seeing that we’ve built a hundred days of affection, can you spare me this time? I’m really fine, just the car is damaged. Don’t worry; this time, I won’t ask you to buy me a new car.”

Charles remained silent, his cold expression indicating he had no intention of letting her off.

Back at Charles’s car, Zelda considerately helped her husband onto the car, but she didn’t get in herself.

“Charles, I need to go to the River Town Airport to pick up my friend. I promised her.”

Zelda asked tentatively, “Charles, can you lend me a car for a short while? I’ll return it to you after picking up Cindy. I’ll also wash and refuel the car for you, and I guarantee it won’t be damaged.”

“You dare to drive again!”

Given her reckless driving skills, Charles really didn’t dare to let her drive again.

One moment she apologized for her mistakes, and the next moment she asked to borrow a car.

This woman wouldn’t learn her lesson unless he punished her severely.

Zelda stuck out her tongue, saying awkwardly, “Then, can you arrange for a bodyguard to act as a driver to take me to the airport to pick up Cindy?”

“Cindy? Who’s that?”

Charles was slightly displeased by the fact that she, after causing a car accident, still wanted to go and pick someone up.

“Cindy is my good friend. I grew up in the countryside, and after returning to my biological parents, even though my mom enthusiastically took me to various banquets and introduced me to the upper-class ladies and daughters of River Town, the only person who didn’t mind that I was a country bumpkin and treated me as a friend was Cindy.”

“Charles, I’m a person of my word. I promised Cindy to pick her up, so I must do it.”

Charles sneered, “A person of your word?”

Zelda’s face blushed.

“Um… from now on, I will keep my promises.”

Zelda didn’t know much about her past life when Charles investigated her. At the beginning, he only wanted to marry her back as a free housekeeper and trouble her every day.

Over time, his original intention changed.

Unconsciously, he began to regard her as his wife.

People in River Town’s upper class despised his wife as a country bumpkin…

He would make her the envy of all women in River Town.

“Monday, drive her to the airport. After picking up her friend, return immediately.”

Charles agreed to Zelda’s request and ordered Monday to take her to the airport to pick up Cindy.

“Charles, I haven’t seen Cindy for a while, and now that she’s back from her trip, we have a lot to catch up on. Can I send her home and stay for two more hours?”

“Ten thousand-word self-reflection.”

Charles coldly threw out a sentence and closed the car door, ignoring Zelda.

Zelda…
