Prev Chapter Next Chapter

When Zachary found James, he immediately said, "I need a favor." "Sorry, but I don't have the time.”

James refused him right then, and gave him a serious look. 'Look, I'm not refusing you for the heck of

it, but Irene Spencer is trouble-"

"Lulu might be dead for all I know." Zachary was anxious. "I need to find her soon!"

James helped his gaze in silence for seconds. "You finally understand how serious this is, huh? Don't

you think it's too late already?"

Zachary could not deny that he had been careless, even as James continued scathingly, "If Irene didn't

return to US and asked to find out what happened to Lulu, you might really have presumed that she

was just hiding and let the matter be altogether. It might already be too late now."

Having no retort against that, Zachary knows that he could only count on himself now. "Yeah, I know.”

James reminded him. "I'm sure that Ember Lindt is the key for the whole mess.”

Zachary snorted. "I thought you can't help?”

James shot him an icy glare. "You're really looking a gift horse in the mouth here.”

He was about to leave when a car stopped in front of them.

Ember alighted, and it was obvious she arrived looking for Zachary.

Since she had always played the role of a warm, kind, and understanding wife in front of Zachary's

friends, she was already smiling at James as soon as she arrived. "Hello, Mr. Cross."

Unlike Zachary, James was experienced in business and encountered more than his fair share of

colorful characters-someone like Ember hardly posed a challenge.

Keeping a straight face, he warmly replied, "Here for Zachary, aren't you?

Got into a fight recently? He was just ranting at me too, but if he ever bullies you, just tell me-I'll help

you give him an earful.”

Ember ginned. “Thanks, Mr. Cross-but don't worry, Zachary is always nice to me. He'd never bully me."

As she spoke, she was looking at Zachary as if to say: ‘See? Even your friends are on my side.’

"That's good to hear. Anyway, I have to go since duty calls-take your time."

With that, James was gone-he had plenty to do and no time for small talk.

Still, he was worried enough to turn and glance at Zachary, but the man seemed to be too upset to

respond.

James sighed-he was not supposed to go full hands-off with the man, especially when Zachary had

worked as a doctor for most of his career.

Zachary was still too much of a novice in both business and relationships.

They were close enough to call each other friends, and no matter how dumb Zachary could be, James

could not just stand aside and watch him mess up repeatedly.

As he got into his car, he texted Zachary.

[Appeal to her emotionally.]

It was a nicer way to say ‘deceive her’, and he just hoped that Zachary understood.

Zachary's phone soon jingled and he whipped it out for a look, glancing James's way when he saw that

it was a text from James even as he drove off.

"What is it, Zachary?" Ember was glancing between Zachary and the departing car.

Her voice brought Zachary to his senses, and he stared at her just then, seemingly understanding what

James meant.

Hence, despite his frustration, he became much more gentle with Ember just then. "Sorry, I think I was

in a bad mood. Did I scare you?"

Ember was speechless in confusion. She had come to Zachary hoping to explain herself, but Zachary

somehow gave in.

"...N-Nol I understand how you feel," she said, keeping her face lowered to hide her expression,

because she did not know what Zachary wanted just then.

After all the time she spent with him, she knew that Zachary was a simple, down-to-earth man.

How he felt would always show on his face, and he never minced his words.

"I was getting paranoid because Lulu went missing, but now that I thought about it, that’s just it-l was

just being paranoid. She must be hiding out of guilt after what she did to you, and I should never have

doubted you. You just lost our child..."

Ember handily threw herself into his arms. "I knew you'd understand, Zachary."

As Zachary looked at her, however, there was no warmth in his eyes at all, but he said, "Yeah. I believe

you. Let's go home.”
