Chapter 303

---- Chapter 303 Anne's body felt weak. Her mind was a mess, and she felt extremely desolate. She did nothing as Zachary dragged her back to the car and shoved her into the backseat. She wasn't aware of what she'd just done or where she could possibly go. Zachary only went after her to make sure she didn't do anything rash. He had no interest in making any small talk with her. So, he simply began to drive back home. He got into the car accident half a year ago and went through a difficult recovery afterward. Because of what he'd been through, his mindset had changed a lot.

He also handled matters with a lot more maturity now. He still had some lingering feelings for Giselle. However, after finding out the truth about her relationship with Donovan, he didn't want to get entangled in such a messy situation anymore. Since he hadn't gotten too involved with Giselle back then, he was still able to walk away from the situation before it was too late. After he made a full recovery, he dated two women, one after another, in Usna. He had a blast, and he was almost over the hurt that Giselle had caused him. By nighttime, the car rolled into the city.

They were now ---- surrounded by dazzling lights. Anne gradually calmed down. Her gaze drifted to Zachary in the driver's seat. She stared at the side of his face and found that it faintly resembled Donovan's. Then, before she knew it, an idea began to form in her head. More than ten minutes later, Zachary turned onto the street outside the Holt residence. "You can drop me off here, Zach. I can head inside on my own, " Anne said in a gentle voice. He didn't think much of it and just stopped the car by the side of the road.

After parking the car, he noticed that Anne was slumped in the backseat . She looked like she didn't have the energy to even exit the car. So, he got out of the driver's seat and personally opened the door for her before helping her out of the vehicle. To his surprise , she threw herself into his arms the instant she got out of the car. "Thank you for what you did today, Zach! If you didn't get to me on time, I might've already done something foolish. I probably wouldn't even be alive right now..." she choked. She continued , On the way back home, I made peace with a lot of what had happened.

Either way, I'd like to thank you for saving my life. I hope we can be friends from now on. Please don't make fun of how I used to be-" "That's enough," Zachary cut her off. ---- He felt slightly uncomfortable with how affectionate she was being. After all, she used to be engaged to his uncle and almost became his aunt. There was no need for them to stay friends. The only reason he went after her was because she reminded him of his past. Aside from that, he had no interest in her at all.

"Since you've made your peace with it, you shouldn't drop by our home or throw any crying fits in front of my uncle anymore. You should save yourself some dignity," he said. After calmly offering her some objective advice, he pushed her away. Then, he made his way back into the driver's seat and sped off. Ata loss for words, Anne just stood there and watched Zachary leave. Once his car had disappeared into the night, she took a deep breath and walked toward the villa. She entered the living room as Renee was walking down the stairs with a sheet mask on her face. "Anne?

W-What happened?" Renee asked. Anne's eyes were puffy. Her hair and makeup were a mess, and her legs were covered in mud and bruises. She looked like she'd just been kidnapped. Her disheveled appearance immediately caught Renee's attention. Anne took a seat on the couch and declared coldly, "I've decided to call off my engagement, Mom."
