Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 44

I was never that embarrassed. I turned my head and looked at the person with his head slightly down, and said nervously, "Thank you for coming with me."

Zack mumbled and said, "Thank you for trusting me."

When we arrived at the agreed place, I took out my phone and looked at the time and we were ten minutes early than the agreed time.

As soon as I sat down and ordered two cups of coffee, the phone rang and it was the loan shark.

I picked up and asked, "Are you here?"

"We are meeting somewhere else."

He really was cautious!

I patiently asked, "Where?"

"Obelisk Square."

I hung up the phone and said helplessly to Zack, who was sitting across from me, "They changed the rendezvous and they are in the square not far away."

"Sure, let's go."

Zack raised his eyebrows. He stretched out his hand and took my palm. I was startled and tried to break free. Zack tightened his grip and said, "Don't turn me down."

There was a hint of caution and hope in his voice.

When I arrived at Obelisk Square, I observed my surroundings carefully and said to Zack, "A middle- aged man with a black scarf, slightly white hair is approaching us with his head down, comparing the voice I heard on the phone, it should be him."

Zack said, "I know, he's coming right at us."

As soon as the middle-aged man approached, he raised his head and looked at us with a pair of brilliant eyes. He asked, "Where is the money?"

I asked: "Where's the IOU?"

He snorted coldly and took a note from his pocket and threw it into my hand. I unfolded it and looked at the signature and the time, which were correct, so I took out a bank card from my bag and handed it to him.

"There is 2.2 million in it."

He took it and said with a smile: "Even if there isn't, we have our own way."

After he left, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my head to see Zack's calm gaze. I smiled embarrassedly and said, "This whole thing has been weighing on me for too long. It's like I've removed a giant stone that was pressing down on my heart."

Zack asked in a voice: "You didn't use my card?"

"No, I borrowed the money from a friend."

I took out his bank card from my bag and gave it back to him, "Zack, there's no reason for me to use your money."

"No reason?" Zack looked down at the card in my hand and asked coldly, "Em, do you think I was lying to you? Do you think I am tampering with your memory? You think what I said is absurd?"

"Zack, before I remember the past, I can't believe your words for the time being." I put the bank card in his palm and said, "September said that I had been transferred to Glestin. She didn't know the specifics, but my stepfather said that I had always been in the city, and there is no record of my transfer in my personal file, so..."

Zack interrupted: "So this is why you don't believe me?"

His brows were furrowed and his lips pursed bitterly. I said anxiously, "Zack," Then I asked, "Is there a possibility that you took me for someone else?"

In the cold and windy city, in the square shrouded in the gusty wind, Zack suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged me tightly in his arms. He put his chin on top of my head, his voice was low and a little sad: "You were my Em and you still are, and you'll always be."

There was a feeling of deep sorrow in his voice. For a while, I forgot to push him away, and only muttered: "Mr. Glover."

After a long time, Zack let go of me. He looked at me silently and didn't say much. He was also silent on the way back to the police station.

I parked the car at the door of the police station. Zack sat stiffly. I said, "Mr. Glover," indicating that we had arrived.

After a long silence, Zack took out his black wallet from his pocket, opened it and took out a photo, and handed it to me.

I was stunned and took it.

If I had any last shred of thoughts of resisting what he said, the photo was the last straw that weighed down on me. The couple in the photo seemed so loving as the girl leaned against the man's chest with a bright smile on her face.

But the man's eyes were cold but concealed a ray of affection.

The girl was me, me from nineteen to twenty.

As for the man...I suddenly looked up at Zack, it was him! It really was him! Zack and I really had such a past.

Zack closed his eyes and said, "No matter how much you reject it; no matter whether you are married or not; no matter who you choose to love now; Em, I will always be by your side to protect you, so as to prevent you from being lonely, suffering, worries or any other negative feelings in the world. All I want you to have is all the love and the happiness in the world."

Being lonely, suffering, worries...

All the love and happiness.

My heart tightened, and I couldn't stop shaking and being moved. How can I let a man so high up do this for me?

I stretched out my hand to cover my tearful eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Zack, I don't have any impression of the past. You... You are a man who broke into my world suddenly. Can you tell me about my past? What is it like? How did we fall in love?"

"Em, you just transferred to Glestin at that time, and I was the one who was transferred to Glestin with you. At that time, I was your team leader. Together we assisted Glestin in solving the case, and we finally fell in love." Zack paused, and he somewhat nervously said: "The two of us... To be honest, I don't even know or understand how we got together. It was like everything was supposed to happen."

There seem to be many things that made me surprised today.

Riley lit another cigarette, took a breath and exhaled and asked: "Officer Shears, did Zack tell you anything?"

"Riley, my brain is still f*cked up now." I hesitated for a while, and told him the truth of what happened. "Zack said that I had forgotten him. Riley, did we really have something back in the days?"

Riley had worked in the station for too long not to know something.

"Have something?" Riley looked at me in a daze. After the cigarette butt in his hand burned out, he finally replied: "You were transferred to Glestin with him, until now I am still wondering why you came back five years ago like a completely different person. You seemed to have forgotten everything and kept asking for resignation. The feeling you gave at the time was like you were hypnotized. I saw that you were determined at that time, so I couldn't say anything."

Hypnotized?

I resigned with Steve at that time, but how did I meet Steve? Exactly, I still hadn't figured out how I ended up with Steve!

I only knew that he was my boyfriend, and then became my husband.

I asked: "Riley, what else do you know?"

"You and Zack were deployed to Glestin for a secret mission. I don't know all the details, but the only thing that is certain is that you did forget something, important things."

I bit my lip and asked, "Riley, do I need to hold onto the past?"

I was also asking myself the same question.

"In fact, these things have been hidden in my heart for a long time, until I just saw you and Zack leave together. I think you may be confused because of this, so I decided to tell you what I know." Riley put off his cigarette and leaned against the car, he said: "If you think the past is worth holding onto, then it is. If you don't, then it's not. It's all up to you. According to my experience as a police officer and plus my hunch, there's a huge secret about you."

I asked: "What's the secret?"

"Ha, you may be disappointed if you ask me. I'm just guessing, maybe things are not as complicated as I think."

Riley stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder and said, "I'm going back to the stake-out with September now. Go back to work."

After Riley left, I returned to the office. Bob was playing cell phone games with his head lowered. I asked, "Is there anything to do?"

"What do you expect?" Bob concentrated on playing the game and said: "There is still half a day to go on vacation. I'm heading back to Cietin this afternoon. Are you one tonight's duty? I just did you a favor with Zack, you can get off work earlier tonight."

Even if I got off work earlier, I would have to go back to Shears family. With my palm resting on my chin, I said casually, "Bob, I'm actually very confused.”

Bob asked indifferently: "About?"

"Why is Zack so good to me?"
