His Coy Lover

Charles was pushed by his bodyguards, silently watching the woman walking in front of him. Just now, she became his legal wife.

“Zelda.”

Charles called her in a deep voice. Upon hearing Charles calling her, Zelda quickly turned around, smiling sweetly at him, and asked, “Honey, what’s wrong?”

Charles frowned, not liking her calling him honey.

“Don’t call me honey.”

“Charles.”

Zelda was very tactful and immediately changed her address.

“Come here.”

Zelda responded with an ‘oh’ and turned back to stand in front of him, looking like she was waiting for his command.

“Turn around and squat.”

Although Zelda didn’t understand why Charles made such a request, she followed it, squatting in front of him with her back turned.

“Charles, do you want me to carry you? I’m strong enough, I should be able to handle it…”

Before Zelda could finish her sentence, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, her vision blurred, and darkness engulfed her.

Charles looked at his newlywed wife, who had collapsed on the ground. His handsome face showed indifference as he gave a low command, “Send her back to the Roscente, let her sober up, recover from her injuries, and then come back to take responsibility.”

Then, he pushed the wheelchair and walked past Zelda. Casually, he bent down, picked up the marriage certificate she dropped on the ground, and stuffed it into his pocket.

The bodyguards were confused by their young master’s actions, but didn’t dare to ask. One of the bodyguards silently carried the unconscious Zelda and put her in the car to send her back to the Roscente.

…

When Zelda woke up again, she felt a severe pain in the back of her neck, and her stomach was growling.

“Zelda, Zelda.”

A familiar, warm, yet nervous voice sounded.

Zelda regained her senses and instinctively turned her head, seeing her mother, Chris, with her well-maintained face.

“Zelda, how do you feel? Dizzy? Hungry? Is your wrist hurting? You scared Mom; Mom just recognized you and hasn’t properly compensated you yet. If something happens to you, what will Mom do?”

Chris tightly held one of Zelda’s hands, speaking with red eyes.

When the bodyguards of the Winston family brought back her daughter, saying that she had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists to refuse the Winston’s marriage, Chris was scared out of her wits. She hurriedly checked her daughter’s breathing and was relieved to find that she was still alive.

Fortunately, the Winston family bodyguards didn’t say much and left after saying that she should recover before taking responsibility.

Zelda said, “… Mom, I… I’m still alive?”

Chris, wiping away tears, patted her daughter’s shoulder, then gently cradled the hand that had been injured, saying with concern, “Silly girl, if you didn’t want to get married, you could have told Mom. Even if it offends the Winston family, Mom would have let your dad refuse Winston’s marriage. Doing it this way… What if you had something happen to you? Mom was so scared.”

Zelda blinked hard.

She reached out to touch her neck, which was still painful.

Charles had knocked her out!

Knocking out his newlywed wife, Charles was the first.

“Mom.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Zelda called her mother with a hoarse voice.

Setting aside her marriage to Charles, Zelda finally had time to be excited about her rebirth.

She sat up, hugged her mother tightly, and excitedly said, “Mom, I missed you so much.”

In her previous life, when she was recognized by her parents, she only stayed at the Roscente for three years. After marrying, her parents died in a car accident a little over a year later. Throughout her entire previous life, she had only spent a little over four years with her biological parents.

Although the time was short, their love for her was genuine.
