His Coy Lover

Nina, who had laid back on the bed, found herself unable to sleep. Her brother’s attitude towards Zelda had sparked her curiosity. Despite her mother and grandmother wanting to make things difficult for Zelda after she moved into her brother’s residence, Nina didn’t want to join in the commotion. However, today’s events piqued Nina’s interest in Zelda.

Meanwhile, Zack returned with the shoes.

“Give them to her,” Charles said calmly, indicating for Zack to give the shoes to Zelda. He then advised Zelda, “Take off those sky-high heels. With your temperament, it’s easy to sprain your foot.”

Following his advice, Zelda changed into the mid-heeled shoes.

“Your sister wears the same size shoes as I do,” she remarked.

Charles remained silent.

Zelda knew her topics were not particularly interesting to Charles. He wasn’t in the mood for a chat. After changing into the mid-heeled shoes, Zelda felt relieved.

“Charles, I’ll head out now. Oh, this is today’s gift.”

Zelda took out a box from her bag and handed it to Charles.

Charles took it with a cold expression and asked, “What is it?”

“Don’t worry; this time, I bought it. It’s valuable.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

In front of him, she opened the box, revealing a wristwatch inside.

“Charles, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go to work now. See you tonight.”

Zelda leaned over, gave Charles a quick kiss on the face, and before he could react, she released him and swiftly made her escape. Afraid of being caught, she dashed away, fearing Charles might grab her and playfully remove her legs.

Zack watched the scene with satisfaction. He was growing fond of Zelda. She was daring, and of course, Charles had spoiled her.

He remembered when she first moved into the Winston residence; she was quite timid.

Charles wiped the area where Zelda had kissed him with a disdainful expression, making sure Zack could hear, “She kissed me with saliva. Disgusting!”

Zack chuckled.

He actually enjoyed receiving various small handmade gifts from her, even if they weren’t worth much money. They were made by her hands.

Burton, who used to be her favorite man, never received such gifts from her.

Oh right, Zelda hadn’t yet asked Burton for the return of her gifts.

Charles’s eyes darkened, and he felt the need to remind her once again.

…

The Roscente Group primarily produced circuit boards and only ventured into other industries in recent years. However, circuit boards remained their main focus. Elle had suggested to her father to expand into real estate, but Peck believed that the real estate industry had already been largely taken up by others, and entering it posed great risks. So, he hadn’t agreed to Elle’s suggestion.

The Winston’s driver dropped Zelda off at the company’s entrance, and she walked into the building, giving herself a pep talk.

Nothing is impossible.

As long as she is willing to study hard, she can learn everything.

To change the tragic ending of her past life, to become strong, and to retaliate against Elle, she must adapt to the ever-changing business world and strive to learn the ropes of business.

“Secretary Sister, have you had breakfast yet? Go ahead; I’ll wait here. When my dad arrives, I’ll go find him.”

The secretary smiled, “Then, I’ll have breakfast first.”

She was Peck’s secretary and had to arrive at the company early every day. Her breakfast was usually packed to eat at the office.

Zelda responded with a smile, indicating that she could go ahead.

Peck arrived at the company around eight o’clock.

When he saw his biological daughter at the entrance of his office, Peck looked utterly surprised.

“Zelda, what are you doing here?”

“Father, I’m here to report today. Didn’t you say you would personally bring me? So, I waited here for you.”

“Oh… I forgot.”

He laughed awkwardly, pushed open the office door, and led his daughter inside.

After Zelda closed the door, he habitually asked, “Does Charles know you’re going to work today? What was his reaction?”

Zelda made a cheering gesture.

“He told me to keep going.”

Peck breathed a sigh of relief.
