Chapter 40 Scolding His Stupid Nephew

Zack went away on a business trip for a few days. He called Lucille daily to ask how she was doing and tell her how much he missed her.

Zack had never dated anyone before this. Even though he and Michaela were engaged for a few years, they were busy with their studies and hardly ever met privately. Therefore, they never had any intense romantic relationship.

However, Zack finally experienced the wonders of romance after he got together with Lucille.

People had said absence makes the heart grow fonder. These words held some truth.

As it was the weekend the next day, Zack booked flight tickets and applied for a half-day off work to give his girlfriend a surprise. However, he received news that someone had beaten Lucille when he got off the plane.

 

Zack rushed home from the airport and found Lucille with a bandage over the wound on her forehead. She looked pale and was rather shaken from the incident.

Seeing Zack, Lucille immediately flung herself into his embrace and apologized tearfully.

 

Initially, Zack was confused. After asking her, Zack finally understood that Lucille went to meet with Michaela for his sake.

After what happened previously, Lucille did not want Zack to suffer due to her, so she went to meet with Michaela and sought her forgiveness.

However, she did not expect Michaela to hit her.

Furthermore, she did not know why those reporters suddenly appeared. She also did not expect Jonathan to show up. Therefore, she felt guilty and worried that she had caused a misunderstanding between Zack and Jonathan.

Lucille cried profusely and did not mention a word about her injury. Instead, she kept worrying about how the incident would affect Zack.
