Zachary hung up the phone, turned around and went back to his bedroom.
Yvonne was still deep in her sleep.
It was obvious that she was extremely exhausted.
With that, Zachary went to do the laundry and didn't want to bother waking up Yvonne.
Yvonne slept until two o'clock in the afternoon since no one disturbed her. The warm sunshine shone on her fair face.
Surrounded by warmth, Yvonne opened her eyes drowsily. Her first reaction was to look at the time.
There was a delicate and elegant inlaid clock on the wall opposite her.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
She suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had been sleeping alone for such a long time. She touched the quilt next to her but felt only coldness.
Yvonne felt a strange discontent in her heart. On the second day of their marriage, where would her husband go?
But then, Yvonne shook her head and chuckled.
She slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. Zachary was a young energetic man. How could he sleep until two o'clock in the afternoon like her?
What was wrong with her?
Why was she overthinking things?
Zachary was now by her side and had fallen in love with her now. Why was she still overthinking things?
She secretly reflected and told herself that she could not be that petty. She had to be generous and tolerant in everything she did. She must not let her imagination run wild.
After getting up to get washed up, Yvonne changed into some clean clothes and tidied herself up before she went out.
There was no sign of people outside the room. It seemed like Zachary was afraid that he would disturb her and either went to the yard or into other rooms to work.
Yvonne swung open the door and stood at the door, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the yard. The vast expanse of green, the pavilions, the rockery and the stream of water created a perfect and delicate picture.
It was a sight that was pleasing to the eye, and she was delighted by it.
"You've woken up?" Suddenly, Zachary's deepsounding voice echoed from the entrance of the courtyard.
Yvonne looked over in the direction of the voice, only to see the man's lean figure striding over towards her in large steps.
His handsome face was sharp and angular, and there was a warm smile on his face. His gentle demeanor was very attractive indeed.
"Zachary," Yvonne called out to him in a sweet voice.
When Zachary finally arrived in front of her, his tall figure cast a shadow over her.
Zachary lowered his head and wrapped his arms around Yvonne's waist. He bent over and gave her a kiss on the forehead. His kiss was as light as a feather and was filled with the overflowing taste of cherishing her.
"Honey, are you hungry?"
Yvonne hurriedly shook her head.
She wasn't starving.
Maybe because he was hugging and kissing her that she picked up a whiff of his scent. Almost instantly, she had flashbacks of what happened last night.
Those memories made Yvonne blush furiously, the redness spreading from her cheeks to her ears. Gradually, her entire face was flushed red.
She was a little embarrassed.
Zachary did not suspect anything. He just held her in his arms and whispered, "It's two o'clock, so I went to deal with the affairs of the Southland. I checked up on you several times and found that you were still sound asleep, so I didn't want to wake you up."
So that was the reason.
Yvonne felt even more apologetic. Just now, she had felt a sense of loss for no reason, only to find that it was just an unnecessary concern.
He was really occupied with work, yet he spared some time to come and check on her frequently. She didn't even notice this and was fast asleep. She didn't put herself in his shoes to understand how difficult it was on him.
