Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 66: Let's Discuss It 

"Well, since you've agreed, I won't break my promise." As Zac spoke, he tore the contract in his hand.

He then proceeded to take out another contract from the drawer while he gazed intently at Patricia.

"That one was the cooperation contract between the Reynolds Group and the Veyron Corp., while this one is the agreement you have to sign."

Taking a glance at the agreement in Zac's hand, Patricia couldn't help biting her lower lip, a hint of anger coursing through her eyes.

‘I didn't expect Zac to have an agreement prepared ahead of time. Is he going to imprison me?’

"Zac, let's discuss this a bit."

Patricia managed to restrain her anger.

Taking a deep breath, she looked coldly into Zac's eyes.She couldn't be at Zac's mercy! At the very least, she needed to be treated with respect.

"Discuss what?"

Zac was confused at first by her statement, but then a devious expression flashed across his face.

Clearing his throat, he nodded as an intrigued smile formed on his lips.

"Okay, let's discuss this."

‘How could I not know what she wanted to discuss with me? But it's better to discuss it with her in case that she goes back on her word later.’

"I can do the cooking, wash the clothes, and clean the house for you, but I won't move into the Oakleaf Villa,"

Patricia uttered in a serious voice.

In her eyes, Zac merely wanted a servant to do his bidding.

Hearing that, Zac was stunned for a moment, but then an idea crossed his mind.

With a devilish smile on his face, he cast a stern glance at Patricia and replied, "Okay, I'll agree to your terms.You don't have to move into the Oakleaf Villa!"

Hearing this, Patricia's eyes widened in disbelief.

It surprised her that Zac had so readily agreed, but she was still afraid that he would play a trick on her and break his word.

Noticing her expression, Zac casually shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"Since you don't believe me, then...

"Zac stopped speaking mid-sentence, put away the contract, and looked at her impatiently.Seeing that, Patricia immediately stretched out her hand to stop him.

Pursing her lips, Patricia looked at him carefully and said adamantly, "I believe you!"

Glancing at her, Zac nodded with satisfaction.

With a contented smile on his face, he gently uttered, "Great!"

Breathing a sigh of relief, she withdrew her hand.

For a brief second, she was convinced that Zac was going back on his word.She was already confused as to why he had agreed without hesitation to her conditions.

So, she was fearful that he would try to fool her.

Taking the agreement, she thoroughly read through it twice and found nothing wrong with his conditions stated there.

The duties listed were all jobs handled by the servants, and were the same as what she had done for him before their divorce.

After re-reading the agreement, Patricia felt relieved.Her skepticism of Zac tampering with the agreement was laid to rest.

"Have you finished reading it?"

Zac asked, staring at her keenly.

Without saying a word, Patricia nodded slightly to indicate she was finished, and then she signed her name with a pen.

Secretly, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zac could no longer play tricks on her.

Handing the contract and agreement over to Zac, Patricia gave him a cold look and said indifferently, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Immediately after, she turned around and strode out of his office without looking back.

Fixing his eyes on her slender back, a mischievous smile appeared at the corners of Zac's mouth.

He seemed to be hatching a scheme as he glanced at the signed agreement in his hand.

He then whispered, "Patricia, just you wait and see!"

Walking out of the Reynolds Group building, Patricia felt relaxed.

As soon as the contract was signed tomorrow by the president of the Veyron Corp.

and Zac, she would make the mission accomplished.

In order to celebrate it in advance, she headed to the market to purchase some pork, shrimp, and fish.

After such a long day, she planned to reward herself tonight with sweet and sour pork, fried spicy shrimp, and braised fish.

She busied herself in the kitchen for a while as she prepared the dishes.

As she was about to sit and enjoy her meal, she heard a knock at the door.

At the moment, Patricia was confused and wondering who it could be.

Apart from Giselle, no one knew where she lived.

She had completely forgotten that Zac was also aware of where she was residing.

Seeing Zac standing at her door with a bunch of roses in his hand, she couldn't help but frown and asked indifferently, "Why are you here?"

Although she had anticipated meeting Zac more frequently in the future, she hadn't expected to see him tonight.

According to their agreement, the contracted terms were supposed to become effective from the following day.

'Why is he here now? What could his purpose be?'Then she caught sight of the luggage behind Zac.

Frowning, she looked at him suspiciously and asked in a low voice, "What is the meaning of this?"

‘‘Zac is standing at the door of my house with his luggage in tow.Of course, this could only mean one thing, but...'

"Can you not guess why I am here? Of course, I come here to let you fulfill your obligations as stated in the agreement."

A complacent smile appeared on Zac's face.

The smell of the delicious dinner Patricia had cooked wafted out the door, making him swallow subconsciously.

He had been hungry for some time now.

It appeared that he had arrived at the perfect time.

He would be able to enjoy her cooking tonight.

Zac insisted on giving the roses to Patricia before walking into her house with his luggage.

Putting his luggage aside, he took off his suit and made his way to the kitchen to wash his hands and fetch the bowls and chopsticks.

"Why are you just standing there? Hurry up, and let's have dinner!" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Without further ado, Zac sat down and began eating, completely ignoring Patricia.

Seeing this, Patricia became so angry that she bit her lower lip as she reined in her anger.

She walked up to Zac quickly, took a deep breath, and asked casually, "Zac, according to the agreement, I simply need to cook, wash the dishes, wash the clothes, and tidy the house for you, so..."

"Really?"

Zac suddenly stopped eating and interrupted her.

Glancing at her, he pulled out the agreement and pointed to a sentence written at the bottom of the page.

"Take a look at what is written here for yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zac cunningly smiled and continued to eat. Patricia immediately looked at where he had indicated.

Eyes wide in disbelief, she fisted her hands and lowered her head.

Zac had set a trap! According to the sentence on the last page, Patricia must live with Zac.

If she broke the agreement, she had to compensate him sixty million dollars.

Sixty million… It was too large a sum of money for Patricia.

And since Giselle was in a bind herself, she wouldn't be able to lend her that amount of cash.

As for the other members of the Sampson family, they would only stand by and watch without assisting her.

‘No wonder Zac had agreed so readily at that time.It turns out that he had already planned to move into my apartment.’

"Zac..."

Patricia was so angry that she gritted her teeth.She had the sudden urge to beat Zac up.

Hearing the frustration in her voice, Zac looked up at her with a mischievous smile on his face.He couldn't help but think she was a fascinating individual.

Face red with anger, Patricia roared, "Zac, you have broken your promise!"

"I didn't.You thoroughly read through the agreement, and then you signed it voluntarily.I didn't force you to do that, "

Zac said with a chuckle.

Patricia was so furious that she stamped her feet.

Clenching her teeth, she glared at Zac.

Then she walked into the bathroom and kept washing her face with cold water, trying to calm herself down.

"Now it seems like I have no alternative but to accept this," Patricia said flatly after taking a deep breath.

She could only blame herself for this.

She thought she would be free of Zac's tricks, but she didn't expect he would have an ace up his sleeve.

‘Forget it.Just let it be.’

"Get up, Patricia!"

Patricia, who was sleeping soundly, heard someone screaming to her.Startled, she jumped to her feet.

Looking around in a daze, she asked, "What's wrong? Is there an earthquake?"

Before she could realize what was happening, Zac had kicked the wooden door hard, which made a loud noise.

Regaining her senses, Patricia shouted at Zac, who stood outside the door, "Zac, what's wrong with you?"
