CHAPTER 125: THIS IS WHAT I SHOULD DO! 

Dora pursed her lips as she noticed the look in Patricia's eyes.

She had no idea what happened between Patricia and Zac in the past that caused their current behavior.

She could see that Patricia had a crush on Zac.

These two people were so clearly in love with each other, so why couldn't they be together? Dora really didn't understand what was keeping them apart.

It was already late evening when Patricia ate her dinner.

Perhaps it was because she had slept so much lately that she wasn't sleepy yet.

Making her way onto the balcony, Patricia sat and looked at the stars lining the night sky.

She became sentimental as she recalled a moment in her childhood when her mother had accompanied her to watch the stars.

"Isn't it boring to watch the stars alone?" a cold voice asked before a warm blanket covered her body.

Before Patricia came to her senses, Zac continued, "It's chilly outside.Be careful not to catch a cold."

Patricia didn't turn around or say anything, so Zac simply sat down beside her.

"Do you like to watch the stars?" asked Zac.

Looking up at the stars in the night sky, a memory from his childhood flashed before his eyes.

Taking her eyes off the stars, Patricia lowered her head and looked at Zac with confusion in her eyes.

In a gentle voice, she asked, "Zac, why have you been so good to me?"

Zac was startled by her sudden question.

Looking into her eyes, he firmly replied, "This is what I should do!"

‘This is what he should do?’ Confused, she continued to look at Zac.

Her pink lips opened and closed as she looked for the right words to say.

But as she was about to speak, she noticed the look of determination in Zac's eyes, and her words became stuck in her throat.

Zac's expression had become so serious, she knew he wasn't joking with her.

The emotions she saw in his eyes told her that his words were said with sincerity.

"You don't believe me, do you?"

Arching his eyebrows, Zac stared at her with a hint of anger in his eyes. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

‘Why does this woman refuse to believe what I say? I have shown my sincerity time and again to her! And yes, I may not have said anything in this serious tone before.

But when I did she didn't trust my words!’ This thought angered Zac so much that he didn't know what else to say.

Noticing that Zac was becoming a little angry, Patricia chuckled and said, "Do you need to be angry for such a trifling matter?"

‘A trifling matter? How is this a trifling matter? This is a big deal!’ Hearing the playful tone of Patricia's voice, Zac became angrier.

He couldn't help biting his lower lip and snorting.

"How can you have the heart to laugh at a time like this?"

After saying this, Zac felt like he was having a deja vu moment since he seemed to have experienced a similar scene before.

"Did you remember something?"

Patricia's soft voice floated to Zac's ear.

Turning, he looked at her suspiciously as this all felt a little familiar.

"It appears that you don't remember what I'm referring to."

A gentle smile formed on her lips before she turned her face and looked up again at the starry night sky.

This look and this scene felt very familiar to Zac, but he didn't recall the exact memory.

That was when a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Glanced at Zac, Patricia said, "Do you remember when the Reynolds family held a party to celebrate Kareem's tenth birthday?"

At the mention of this party, Zac recalled being thrown into the garden by Kareem.He was then called a bastard and told not to get too close to the house.As young as Zac was then, he still had his pride.

So, he sat in the small pavilion playing alone because he didn't want to attend Kareem's birthday party.

That was when he had met a girl, two years younger than himself, crying and talking to the stars.

"You were the little girl from back then?" Zac looked at her doubtfully.

It was hard for him to imagine Patricia as the crying girl from that time.

Hearing his question, Patricia lifted her eyebrows and, smiling, asked, "What's wrong with me being that little girl?"

Zac shook his head immediately.

Sighing, he couldn't help thinking how much that little girl had changed.

In his eyes, the girl he had seen in the past was so lovely and full of life.

However, now she had become as prickly as a hedgehog.

"Are you surprised to discover that was me?"

As much as she enjoyed gazing at the stars, she began to feel a little lonely and didn't know what else to say.

That was when Patricia realized that apart from arguing with Zac, there was no common ground between them.

From the moment she had fallen in love with Zac, then through her marriage with him, and even now, they had never really gotten to know each other very well.

So, it wasn't strange to realize that they had nothing in common to discuss.

Even if they made idle chatter, the conversation wouldn't last long.

The next moment, Patricia slowly stood up and smiled at Zac.

"I should go back in and rest now."

Zac grabbed her wrist to stop her just as she was about to turn around and go inside.

"Patricia, do you hate me so much?" asked Zac in a low voice.

He was not a fool.

He instantly realized that Patricia was trying to avoid him.

Patricia was stunned by his question.

Staring blankly at Zac, her mouth trembled and she didn't know how to respond to him.

If he had asked her past self, she would have immediately answered him, but now...

The serious look in Zac's eyes and the warmth of his palm confused her.

"I..." Patricia subconsciously looked away as she became hesitant to speak.

"Answer me, Patricia!"

With a domineering look in his deep and determined eyes, he looked at her as if trying to read her expression.

‘I don't believe that Patricia is so cruel.Her hesitation just now is proof of this! “

"You..."

The next moment, she shook off his hand.

Turning her face away, Patricia bit her lower lip nervously.

She really didn't know how to respond to Zac’s probing.

She felt that whatever answer she gave would sound like she was hiding her true feelings.

"In actuality, you don't hate me," said Zac softly, his voice like a breeze brushing through her heart.

At that moment, Patricia was left speechless and could only stare at Zac.

She opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Zac.

"If you don't hate me, why do you keep avoiding me? Patricia, answer me!"

Standing up, he held her wrist tightly as he intently gazed down ather.

He wanted to know what was in her mind.

‘Does she really hate me?’ After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't say a word.

Patricia couldn't help biting her lower lip as she looked down at her toes.

‘I...and Zac...Is it really possible for us to be together?’ Patricia couldn't help but ask herself this question.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Zac, trying to find the answer from his eyes.

Since Zac was around more, she had paid more and more attention to him.

Now, her usually calm heart seemed to be stirred with emotion and wouldn't calm down.

Patricia pursed her lips as a bout of depression washed over her.

‘What is going on between Zac and myself?’ Then, out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Zac and said quietly, "Zac, it's impossible for us to be together."

But as soon as she finished speaking, a trace of melancholy crossed her face.
