chapter 1657
Someone as beautiful as Zoe went right into his arms, yet Anthony was disgusted?!
How clueless could this man be!?
Heh. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
He should brace himself.
One day, she would make him fall head over heels for her, and he would then see just how intelligent and nice she was. i
She was way better than that arrogant Charmine!
Zoe was swept away by her daydreams when she noticed the villagers lighting the torch. They were going up the mountain.
She then remembered that they were supposed to head to the mountaintop to conduct their prayer ceremony.
She narrowed her eyes and looked toward the procession. She was about to rejoin the crowd, wanting to pray for Anthony to open himself to her. If that could not happen, well, she wanted to marry a rich man soon and be a rich wife in the city!
After taking two steps, however, she stopped.
Anthony was not with them.
Was he alone in the small house, then?
If she went to tidy his house and take care of him, he might just fall for her. 1
She would then topple Charmine!
Zoe’s eyes twinkled at the thought, and she spun in her heels. Walking past the field, she saw...Charmine, propping Anthony into a small house.
No one else was with them.
Anthony seemed listless and helpless. Was he drunk?
The glow in Zoe's eyes turned impish. This was her chance!
She glared at Charmine's back.
Heh. That cheap woman.
She acted as if she did not care, but she secretly wanted to hook him. What a fake woman!
Zoe would not let Charmine have this chance.
Zoe went to hide in a house not far away, keeping a close eye on both Charmine and Anthony.
She soon realized that even after Charmine took Anthony inside, she did not step out at all.
Zoe frowned.
Oh, no...
What would they do inside the small house?
Impossible!
Zoe quietly walked over. When she was about to open the door to ruin whatever they were doing, she saw Charmine sitting by the side and playing with her phone, unperturbed.
The seemingly drunk Anthony, meanwhile, laid by the side.
Zoe let out a sigh of relief.
Luckily, Charmine was not as shameless.
Still, with Anthony drunk, Zoe should not miss such a good opportunity.
Zoe hid in the dark corner and stared at them.
How could she make Charmine leave?
Meanwhile, at the village chief’s house.
Harry had drunk quite an amount. When Dior saw him heading back on his own, she abandoned the gathering entirely and quickly followed after the tipsy Harry.
Frowning, Dior prepared a bowl of water to wipe his face.
Harry leaned on the sofa and narrowed his eyes on her. His thin lips parted as he muttered, "Ignore me. Go and knock yourself out."
Dior looked at him and haughtily sassed, "No way, I only want to stay with you. I don't want to go anywhere else."
She dried the towel and picked up his hand to clean his palm.
Upon touching him, she could feel his entire body turning taut.
Harry somehow recalled something amid his drowsiness, snapping out of his somewhat intoxicated state.
He looked at the woman before him darkly and took the towel away from her. "I can do it myself."
Dior halted and said, "Nobody is watching now. Why so polite?"
She reached out her beautiful, fair hand, wanting to grab the towel back from Harry.
