Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 102: Don't Ask Or Interfere 

Patricia was stunned to hear Zac's question.Her body stiffened up, and she had to shake it subconsciously to avoid Zac's question.

"Zac, remove your hands now.I'm going to sleep."

Patricia then purposefully closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.Zac pursed his lips when he saw her reaction to his question.

His face was full of sadness, and his heart ached.

‘’Am I so untrustworthy that she can't confide in me?’’ Unbeknownst to Zac, he hadn't realized how badly his past actions had hurt her.

So, how could she now trust the person who broke her heart? Zac, not realizing what caused her mistrust, was eager to uncover the story behind her secret.

"Don't lie to me, Patricia.Are you avoiding my question on purpose?"

Fixing his gaze on her, he continued, "Is it Lyndsy, Sullivan, or Yolanda who left those marks on your back?"

‘’Apart from these three people, I can't think of anyone else who would do such a thing to such a delicate woman.And when was this done to her? Has it been from her childhood until she married me? Has she been suffering all this time?’’

When Patricia heard their names, her body trembled slightly.Although her movement was very subtle, Zac noticed it.Zac was burning with anger as her subtle movement confirmed his assumption.

Clenching his fists, there seemed to be an inexplicable aura flowing on the back of his hand.

At the moment, he couldn't suppress his anger.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Zac gasped as he stared at her fiercely.He really didn't know what was going through her mind.

"Tell you? Tell you what?" Patricia said coldly.

The blush on her face had been replaced with her usual coldness.Right now, she wasn't afraid of looking Zac squarely in the eyes.

However, her stiff body prevented her from moving.

"Do you mean I should have told you after we got married, or are you referring to now? But at that time, I was just a tool for you to use to advance in your career and move up in the Reynolds family’s succession line.I wasn't qualified enough to tell you something as insignificant as this.As for now...There is no need to say anything to you now since we no longer have anything to do with each other."

Zac was stupefied when he heard this.He opened and closed his mouth several times, but no words came out.

He was at a loss for words and couldn't figure out how to counter what Patricia had just said.

Zac was unhappy seeing how Patricia kept pushing him away from her side.

What annoyed him more, though, was the fact that he couldn't refute her words.

Back then, he had indeed married her as part of a deal that would help him solidify his position within the Reynolds Group.

But in the end, where did that get him? When Zac didn't respond, Patricia sneered and continued coldly, "So, Zac.I'm begging you.Don't ask or interfere.This has nothing to do with you.It’s my own private affair."

She then slowly closed her eyes, not wishing to argue further with Zac about this topic.

As far as their relationship went, she remembered that at one time, she was pregnant with his child but was forced to abort it.

So, even if she didn't want to take revenge or hate him, she knew that she could no longer be together with him.

At this moment, Patricia knew she would no longer love Zac with all her heart.

Zac understood what Patricia was trying to say.

‘But if she knows that our baby would not have survived in the first place, would she still be so determined to push me away? Why does she force herself like this? Can't she let go of the past and just accept me?’ "You..."

Zac stared at Patricia blankly, not knowing what to say.

He felt like there were thousands of words he wanted to say to her, but he could not say even one.

Patricia's words left Zac speechless.

There was a trace of sadness and anger in his heart.

'‘Why can't she have a little faith and trust in me?"

"You don't trust me at all, do you?" Zac finally asked.

His deep eyes were dark, as if lifeless.

"No! I don't."

Patricia answered without hesitation.

To her, it was a question that didn't warrant careful consideration.

Zac took a deep breath and looked straight at her.

Perhaps it was because of the emotions she saw in Zac's eyes, or perhaps it was because he had accidentally touched her emotional scar again.

Still, Patricia's aloof expression was replaced by a trace of sadness.

Patricia wasn't so blind that she couldn't perceive that there was chemistry between Zac and herself.

But she chose not to dwell on those thoughts as she didn't want anything to do with Zac.

When she saw Lyndsy crying at Sullivan's birthday party because Zac had told her he didn't love her, Patricia felt like she was looking at her past self.

She had, after all, believed she would spend the rest of her life with Zac, even if their marriage was a business deal.

However, the reality ruthlessly shattered her fantasies, dealing her a decisive blow.

‘’How can I not know what Zac thinks of me? But I am no fool.Zac is only doing this to prove he is a man who can possess me! Otherwise, he wouldn't even spare me a look.’’ Silence fell on the room as they both stopped talking.

It was not until Zac's phone rang out that a sound could be heard.

Hanging up the call, Zac slowly withdrew his hand without saying a word.

As his hand was about to leave her back, Zac felt like he had lost something dear to him with no way of finding it again.

"Have a good rest, Patricia,"

Zac said softly before quietly leaving.

Hearing the door close, Patricia subconsciously turned her head in that direction.

A deep sense of sadness washed over her, and an indescribable expression appeared in her clear eyes.

Patricia then silently looked away and buried her beautiful face in the pillow as she was overcome with grief.

Walking out of the room and standing at the end of the corridor, Zac subconsciously looked back in the direction of Patricia's ward.

The dull ache in his chest was always there and could not be swept away.

Then, the phone rang again.

Glancing at the number on the screen, he reluctantly pressed the answer button. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Zac, the things that happened in the Sampson family's house today..."

Johnny's mellow voice could be heard on the other end of the call.

Zac remained emotionless even after hearing this voice.

He said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Johnny might have been Zac's father, but Zac had no feelings towards this man.

After all, they were father and son in name only.

Johnny was used to Zac's coldness, but he was a little unhappy when he heard Zac's tone.

Zac hadn't even greeted him! "Zac, don't be too extreme.

You've made Sullivan lose face at his birthday party.

Is this your way of challenging the Sampson family?"

"And what if it is?" said Zac in a cold voice.

He didn't want to explain himself to Johnny. Zac just wanted to hang up the call as soon as possible.

Johnny was stunned when he heard this.

He was about to give a retort but thought better of it.He didn't know how to respond to Zac.

Before Johnny could figure out what he wanted to say, Zac said coldly, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

Zac was about to end the call when he heard Johnny shout into the phone, "Zac, don't hang up. I have something to say!"

Afraid Zac would hang up on him, Johnny quickly said, "Tomorrow is your mother's birthday.Remember to come back home for dinner."
