Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 57

He never thought of disturbing me, but because... If it weren't for me crying on the phone, he would never tell me that he secretly did these things for me, Zack was so heartwarming.

I whispered a thank you, Zack gently patted my head with his palm, and asked, "Why were you crying?"

"My mother didn't want me home. Benjamin is still in City B, so I am the only one left here. I felt lonely."

I was also sad because of Benjamin's attitude.

"Fool, I'll be with you."

Zack talked with me that night, and he said: "Em, it's the New Year. Let's not talk about the bad things that used to be. When we go back to work, I will tell you who caused your memory loss.

I asked: "Did you just figure out?"

"Yeah, after a long time of an investigation."

I wondered: "Why can you tell me now?"

"I figured it out. Instead of waiting for him to tell you the answer, letting you be bullied by him, it is better for me to tell you personally."

I said thank you, and changed the subject and asked: "Didn't your family have any problem with your suddenly leaving London?"

"I'm not a kid." Zack hooked his lips and took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it to me.

I took it and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

He replied: "New Year gift."

I reached out and untied the silk ribbon on it, and then opened the box. Inside was an emerald bracelet.

I was surprised and asked: "It really is a New Year gift?"

"Well, what else can it be?"

I hurriedly put it in his hand and shook my head and said, "Zack, I can't take this thing, it's too much."

Zack took it out of the box, he held my wrist and curled his lips and said, "Don't turn me down."

I struggled for a while and asked: "Is it expensive?"

Zack said: "Not at all."

I didn't refuse anymore, what I wanted was to buy another gift and return it to him.

Zack accompanied me that night and waited for the last person downstairs to leave. He didn't leave until three o'clock in the morning.

After he left, I was still sitting there for a long time, and when the sky was turning bright, I got up and went back to my room to sleep.

There were only a few days before leaving Elysia, and I would need to find a place to leave near the police station before Benjamin came back.

I slept very soundly until the next afternoon when I opened my eyes dazedly and got up.

I sat on the bed and after a long time, I got up and looked out the window. It started to snow on the first day of the new year.

What a good day.

I received a call from Bob as soon as I finished washing up. He laughed and said, "Happy New Year, Emma!"

"Happy New Year, Officer Bob." I was putting on makeup and asked in confusion, "Why did you call?"

"My uncle came back so my mother drove me back here too. I am now wandering around your house with nothing to do."

Zack came back because of me but I didn't expect Bob was affected too. I smiled awkwardly: "What are you doing near my house?"

Bob suggested: "I, you, my uncle, and September all got nothing to do. How about coming out to get together tonight?"

"Is that a question or an order?"

Bob laughed and said: "Come downstairs."

I said OK, Bob hung up.

I put on the lipstick and tied my hair up, went downstairs with my bag. While waiting for Bob, the phone rang.

It was from Benjamin.

I muted the phone and ignored it.

Bob parked the car in front of me, poked out his head, and said: "September intends to get herself wasted tonight and she intends to do it with you."

I stretched out my hand and patted Bob's head, then rubbed it like a puppy and solemnly said, "I believe in your ability."

"I'm no match for her." Bob shook his head, and said: "Who can out-drink September in the station and the procuratorate?"

What he said was actually true. I'd never seen someone who could outlast September on drinking alcohol.

"She can't drink anymore." I opened the door and sat on it, explaining, "She has been in poor health recently and can't drink. Let's just get together and grab a bite."

September was pregnant and I couldn't let her do that.

Bob frowned and said, "It's really disappointing, but health comes first."

Bob drove me to the place. When I arrived, I only saw September. Bob sat down and called Zack.

I heard him say: "Jesus, it's a holiday. Would you get off your high horse for once and just get over here?"

I was even more curious: "Who is it?"

"Teresa." Zack smiled.

I was surprised that Zack and Teresa also knew each other.

I thought for a while and said: "I know Teresa, Benjamin's friend told me that she was Benjamin's first love."

"Emma, come and see the fireworks!" September shouted at this time. I shook my head and said with a smile: "We are fine watching from here."

September didn't say anything else. She happily ran to Bob and squatted down, seeming to dislike Bob somehow. She pushed him away and lit it up herself. Bob didn't dare to say anything and quietly rolled his eyes at her.

I smiled helplessly and said, "September is the most real girl I've ever see."

"I know. She's got quite a reputation for herself." Zack said gently and went on, "Em, Teresa is Benjamin's first love, but the Dunn family thought she was not qualified to marry into the family because she was three years older than Benjamin. But later they were quite satisfied with Victoria, who was four years younger than Benjamin. I believe they were even engaged at some point."

What Zack said was not much different from Sean's words.

I nodded, "Then they were forced to separate."

"Not really. It was Teresa who gave up Benjamin and married someone else." Zack put his hand in his pocket and said lightly: "Teresa's also getting a divorce lately."

"Divorce?" How did Zack know so clearly about Teresa? I asked again: "Have you always known Benjamin and Teresa?"

Zack said frankly: "Well, I grew up with them in the same neighborhood. We used to be close but not anymore."

Zack, Benjamin, and Teresa knew each other since childhood. I was a little surprised but dare not ask anything else.

Because Zack had a cold expression at the moment as if he was reminiscing about something, I was silent for a while before taking out the gift box from my pocket and handing it to him, and said, "New Year's gift, Zack."

Zack's was obviously taken aback, and he took it from me: "Didn't see that coming." His tone was pleasantly surprised.

I nodded and said, "Thank you for spending the New Year with me."

Zack opened the gift box and took out the watch inside. I took it over from him to put it on for him: "Although it is not worth much compared to your gift to mine, it is a sincere gift from me."

At the end I blushed.

I knew clearly that the bracelet he gave me was worth a lot and he lost 15,000 to me playing mahjong that night. The watch I bought for him only cost 30,000 bucks.

Zack looked down at the time and said, "Thank you."

He took off his own watch and put it in his pocket with his lips slightly curled up, and he remained silent for the next half an hour.

I peeked at him many times and there was always a smile on his face.

Zack was indeed like a child.
