Zoey left the Maddox family and went straight to Galaxy Studio. Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to see Russell if she returned to Serene Manor, she decided to stay in the design room and work on her sketches.
Leanna knew that she came to work overtime and was extremely touched. She said that she valued friendship more than romance and immediately decided to treat everyone to a lavish lunch and dinner.
Zoey felt guilty. She was not someone who prioritized friendship over romance; she clearly wanted to prioritize romance over friendship. However, her husband did not give her the opportunity.
Dragging her tired body back to Serene Manor, when Emilee saw her and quickly asked if she wanted to have a late–night snack.
Zoey looked at her round belly and waved her hand.
“Did Russell come back?”
Emilee nodded, “Mr. Russell came back in the afternoon and
has been at home. The second young lady from the family was brought back here.”
Zoey: “…”

The Braylen couple were vsmart on the arrangements. They just directly sent her here.
Did Russell come back in the afternoon?
Wasn’t it about being busy with company matters?
Wasn’t there still a drinking party in the evening?
Zoey asked, “So Russell came back for Miss Second?”
Emilee shook her head, “We can’t guess Mr. Russell’s thoughts either, can we? He asked where you went, and I said you went to the studio. But Mr. Russell didn’t have dinner at night, he stayed in the study all the time. I went to bring him tea and his face was very serious.”
Zoey nodded, “I got it, thank you Emilee.”

She went back to her room, took a shower, applied body lotion, and smelled herself. She smelled nice.
After blow–drying her hair and changing into a cute–style nightgown, Zoey arrived at the door of the study.
She knocked on the door first, “Russell, it’s me. Can I come in?”
“Come in.”
The man’s voice was low and it was evident that he was very unhappy.
Zoey pursed her lips and pushed the door open, only to see a man wearing a dark blue silk pajama. A pair of gold–rimmed glasses perched on his straight nose, as he spoke fluent French in front of the computer screen, exuding an aura of abstinence

and aloofness.
Zoey guessed that he was conducting a video conference, so she stood at the side of the table.
Suddenly, the man said, “Pause the meeting.”
He looked at Zoey with a somewhat cold attitude and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Zoey moved next to him in his wheelchair, hooking her fingers around his clearly defined pinky resting on the armrest. Her voice sounded particularly aggrieved, “You used such cold words when you called this morning, and now you’re still saying them. I mean, I just invaded your personal space when you weren’t around, right? If you’re not happy about it, I won’t stay here anymore in the future.”
Russell’s lips curved up slightly, “Do you think I was unhappy because of this?”
Zoey’s slender eyelashes trembled, “Isn’t it because of this?”
She sat on the man’s lap, her hands naturally wrapped around his neck, and asked, “Then what was it for?”
Looking at the girl’s clear eyes, Russell burst into laughter.
He had been angry all day long, and she had no idea what was going on.
Zoey felt that they had to clarify things between them and avoid any misunderstandings.
She approached him and said, “You have to tell me, how would I know if you don’t say it?”

The girl’s gentle and delicate breath sprayed onto his thin lips, and whenever Russell lowered his head slightly, he could taste the sweetest and softest candy in the world.
He slightly turned his head and said, “When I went back in the morning, you called out another man’s name.”
Zoey was taken aback when she shouted another man’s name on Russell’s bed, no wonder he got angry.
“Who did I call?”
Russell pulled out three words from between his teeth, “Nelson.”
Zoey burst into laughter, as she cupped the man’s face with both hands and locked eyes with him.
She smiled with curved eyes, “So you were jealous?”
“I didn’t.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Russell had a proud look on his face, he wanted to turn his head and not look at her, but Zoey pulled him back.
Zoey tilted her head and laughed, “Did I say anything else?”
“No.”
“Oh, then I must have scolded him in my dream!”
“What did you scold him for?” Russell asked curiously,

Russell looked at her mischievous smile and couldn’t help but ask, “What did you call him?”
Zoey raised an eyebrow, “Want to know?”
“Tell me.”
“Then you tell me, do you miss me?”
Russell looked into the girl’s clear eyes and wanted to tightly wrap his hand, resting on the armrest, around her slender waist. However, he restrained himself and suppressed the impulse.
He simply uttered two words from his thin lips, “A little.”
“Just a little?” Zoey reached out and gently stroked the faint stubble on the man’s chin, her diamond lips pressed against it, leaving a sincere kiss.
She moved closer to the man’s ear, her soft breaths reaching his eardrums. “Russell, I missed you, she said.
Russell had no resistance against Zoey at all. His hand, resting on the armrest, couldn’t help but encircle her in his embrace. His strong muscles tightened, as if he wanted to merge Zoey into his very being.
He lowered his head and kissed her, forcefully and passionately, sucking on her tongue until it tingled.
Zoey felt like she was suffocating, and she collapsed in his
arms.
She only felt that wherever the man’s palm touched was like

being on fire, àlmost igniting her body, stirring her mind.
For a long time, the breathing of the two people became irregular.
Zoey clearly felt that the man had some reaction.
Russell put her away to his knee point, leaving the restricted
area.

His Adam’s apple rolled continuously, his voice hoarse, “Tell me, what did you curse him?”
Zoey giggled and said, “I called Nelson a jerk!”
Russell chuckled, “You are quite mischievous.”
Looking at the girl’s charming smile, he really wanted to press her down and physically show her that he wanted her as much as she wanted him, until it hurt.
But, not now.
Zoey pouted, “So you ignored me the whole day just because of this?”
“Sorry.”
Would a man who has always been cold and dominant actually say sorry?
Zoey’s restless little hand slipped into the man’s pajamas.
The girl’s fingers were slender, and her pale pink, plump nails wandered back and forth on the man’s solid abdominal
muscles.

“How are you going to compensate me then?”
Russell was on fire, breathing heavily, with a storm brewing in his eyes. He grabbed Zoey’s hand and said, “You’re in charge.”
“Will you hold me while sleeping tonight?”
“Okay,” Russell cleared his throat, “Zoey, I was feeling a bit hungry. Could you help me make a bowl of pasta?”
Zoey sighed, Russell should have gone to take a cold shower by
now.
Sure enough, he said, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Zoey stifled a laugh and said, “Okay, I’ll go now.”
She jumped down and ran out of the study.
Russell took a deep breath and all the frustration of the day vanished.
He lowered his gaze and glanced at it, lifted the blanket up a bit, and opened the microphone to announce the end of the meeting.
He went to the bedroom and took a cold shower. The cold shower took an unusually long time, which surprised Russell. He wondered why Zoey didn’t come to find him.
He squinted his eyes, did she just realize that he was not disabled?
No, she wouldn’t find out, he hid it very well.
After finishing tidying up, he wheeled himself into the kitchen

and saw Zoey preparing appetizers, only then did he realize that he had been overly concerned.
He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Zoey’s seaweed–like black hair hung down to her waist, giving her a particularly gentle appearance.
Russell rested one hand on the armrest and stroked his chin with the other, admiring her busy appearance.
The exhaustion of these past few days vanished.
Zoey felt a scorching gaze fixed on her, and when she turned around, she saw the handsome face of a man with a slight smirk on his lips.
“It will be ready soon.”
Zoey was very good at cooking, and Russell finished all the pasta and side dishes.
Before going to bed, Russell brushed his teeth again.
Zoey teased him, “Did you brush your teeth because you wanted to kiss me?”
Russell’s brow furrowed tightly after hearing this sentence.
Zoey gazed at him for a moment, and then she heard him say softly.
“No, it was just a good habit before going to sleep.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
