Sensing exactly what was on his mind , Giselle similed at him provocatively . In that instant , she made up her mind .

Turning to Zachary , she said calmly , " Zach, I'm suddenly feeling a little hungry . I think I'll accept Mrs. Kane Senior's offer and stay for dinner before I leave . " " Sure ! " Zachary replied eagerly . Hearing that she had agreed to stay , he was thrilled . Without hesitation , he pulled her toward the dining table to grab a seat . Sering that Donovan had come home , Dorothea gently set her beloved cat aside and called everyone to the dining room .

As for Donovan , his gaze never left Giselle . He simply couldn't tear his eyes away from her . a grim expression , and shoved him aside slightly .

Since I brought her home , you should know what that means . " With that , he hurried back to the dining room and sat beside Giselle , ignoring Donovan's disapproval entirely . Zachary cared for Giselle so openly that she couldn't help but feel awloward throughout dinner .

Were you two talking behind my back ? she teased softly , " Nope , " Zachary said with a chuckle . Then , he lied , " He asked me where I found such a beautiful girlfriend and said I should've brought you home sooner . " Giselle laughed . But she said no more , choosing instead to sip her water to hide her complicated feelings .
