Chapter 76

“Let me introduce you. This is my husband, Zach. This is Cole, my partner,” Elvira introduced them with a smile.

“Mr. Bennett, thank you for saving Elvira. If you have any requests in the future, I will do my best!” Zach thanked Cole sincerely.

“Mr. Gilbert, you’re too kind. I saved her because I wanted to. I don’t need anyone to thank me,” Cole replied seriously. Cole was actually unhappy. Saving Elvira was his job; he didn't need thanks, and the gratitude made him uncomfortable.

When Zach heard this, he was sure Cole liked Elvira. He looked at her, and Elvira quickly came over to take the fruit and flowers he’d brought. “Have a seat first. I’ll pour you a cup of coffee,” she said.

“No need. I’ll go visit Tracy later. Do you want to come with me?” Zach, being a man, was naturally unhappy about someone’s interest in Elvira, but his upbringing prevented him from showing it. Moreover, he was still grateful to Cole for saving Elvira.

“Alright, I haven’t seen Tracy in two days. I miss her.” Elvira was very close to Tracy; they missed each other daily and called to chat.

When Zach saw her immediate agreement, a smile appeared on his face. Because Zach arrived late, Cole had already eaten dinner. Elvira reminded Cole to rest early, and then she left with Zach.

In the car, Elvira had just sat down when Zach grabbed the back of her head and kissed her deeply. Elvira was a little speechless. “Can you change your habit of wanting to kiss me at any time?” she asked, looking at the busy hospital and feeling a little helpless.

“No!” Zach rejected it without hesitation. He felt incredibly lucky to have married such a good woman.

“You’ve known Cole for many years?” Zach still wanted to know about Elvira’s relationship with Cole, who seemed deeply in love with her. Fortunately, Elvira didn’t notice. He wondered if Cole hid his feelings well or if Elvira was simply oblivious.

“It’s been seven years. Seven years ago, I saved him in the countryside. He lost his memory and doesn’t remember anything. I was the one who gave him his name. I treat him like my own younger brother. However, Cole is very smart. He learned how to do business very quickly. After working for others for a few years, he can run a company independently. We are partners.” Elvira was initially afraid that Zach would feel pressured, so she hadn’t told him about her company. However, after being together for so long, she felt she couldn’t lie to him. Deception would cause endless trouble in the future, and she didn’t want a tiring life.

“Elvira, you are really capable,” Zach said, raising his hand and rubbing the top of her head.

“Hurry up and drive. Don’t make Tracy wait too long,” Elvira urged him.

Zach started the car and left the hospital. A deep look flashed across his eyes. He thought, ‘A person with amnesia who knows how to do business. Who the hell is Cole?’ Zach suspected Cole’s identity but didn’t tell Elvira. He could tell she trusted Cole implicitly and had no romantic feelings for him. As long as Elvira didn’t like Cole, he didn’t need to act for now.

Tracy was extremely happy to have Zach and Elvira join her for a meal. Elvira asked if Tracy was free this weekend; she wanted to buy her some clothes. It had always been Tracy who gave her things. She had never bought anything for Tracy other than a set of traditional clothes, which Tracy liked and wore almost every day. This made Elvira feel a little guilty.

When Tracy heard that Elvira was taking her clothes shopping, she was as happy as a child. “Elvira still loves me the most, unlike that heartless brat. He never thought of accompanying me to shop or buy clothes,” she said.

Zach was a little embarrassed. He hadn’t thought about these things. He’d been raised by Benjamin and Tracy, and their needs were always met. He’d only given Tracy expensive jewelry; he’d never bought her clothes or gone shopping with her. He hadn’t expected Tracy to be so happy about Elvira’s suggestion. Benjamin had left, so he no longer had the chance to be filial to him. That's why he’d agreed to marry the unfamiliar Elvira, even though he was unwilling. It wasn’t until Elvira’s arrival that he realized how simple it was to make Tracy happy.

“I’m sorry. I have an important meeting to attend this weekend. I can’t accompany you,” Zach said apologetically to the two women.

“Who needs your company? We don’t need a stinky man like you to accompany us when we go shopping,” Tracy snorted arrogantly, grabbing Elvira’s hand and looking at Zach with disdain.

“That’s right. We don’t need your company when we go shopping,” Elvira agreed with a smile, clearly on the same side as Tracy.

Zach looked at Tracy’s blissful smile, his heart softening. He looked at Elvira with even more passion. Elvira felt Zach’s burning gaze, her face turning extremely red. She thought, “I didn’t do anything. Why does he look at me like that?”

On the way home, Zach hugged and kissed Elvira nonstop, not letting go even while waiting for the traffic light to turn green. The car behind them honked frantically before Zach reluctantly released her. Elvira was speechless, thinking, ‘He really can’t restrain his desires at all.’

When they entered the elevator, Zach pressed Elvira against the wall and kissed her. Dizzy from his kiss and weak, she could only wrap her arms tightly around his neck to prevent herself from falling.

When the elevator door opened, Zach carried Elvira into the house. In their private space, he no longer restrained himself. He removed Elvira’s top and lowered his head to bite her. Elvira groaned and curled her toes, her long legs wrapping around his waist. Zach casually grabbed a condom and quickly put it on. The room’s temperature kept rising, and ambiguous sounds rose and fell.

Judy was unwilling to let Elvira go. She’d had someone send gifts and shopping cards to Lily two days ago. Today, she called Lily.

“Judy, long time no see. How have you been recently?” Lily asked with concern.

“Lily, I’m fine. Thank you for caring about me,” Judy replied, her voice filled with sadness.

“Don’t take that matter to heart. Those people who badmouth you don’t know how good you are! I will always support you,” Lily said flatteringly.

“Yes, yes. Calvin and I are innocent. Lily, I heard that the school will hold a 100th-anniversary celebration. Can you invite Elvira to participate!” A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Judy’s eyes. She thought, ‘Elvira had set me up to embarrass myself in front of the entire country. In that case, I will let the entire country know about the ugly things she had done back then. As long as I can prove that Elvira is immoral and has a terrible character, I will be able to clear my name without doing anything!’
