His Coy Lover

“Drive to the opposite side of the road and stop,” Charles ordered coldly.

The driver quickly complied. A few minutes later, Charles’ official car was parked at the entrance of the upscale shopping street.

“I want to go shopping!” he said in a low voice.

The team of bodyguards immediately sprang into action. Someone quickly exited the car, vigilantly scanning the surroundings to ensure there were no suspicious individuals. Another person swiftly removed the wheelchair that Charles usually sat in, while someone else carefully assisted Charles in getting out of the car.

Coordinated and efficient, the team acted rapidly. In the blink of an eye, Charles was being pushed into the upscale shopping street by one of his bodyguards.

Charles was here!

The shopkeepers on the affluent shopping street were all astute individuals. Even if they hadn’t seen Charles in person, they had seen his photos in the newspapers. Moreover, someone with such a grand entourage could only be Charles.

“Charles.”

“Charles.”

As soon as the news spread, shop owners who knew Charles had arrived hurriedly came out, wearing smiles on their faces to greet him. Even if Charles didn’t know them, as long as they conveyed their respect, it was enough.

Zelda was unaware that Charles had come to the upscale shopping street. Inside the store, she started helping Charles choose clothes.

Burton accompanied her, occasionally making small talk.

When Charles entered, he saw Zelda picking up a shirt, presumably looking for someone to try it on. Burton immediately moved closer.

Charles’ handsome face darkened.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Although he and Zelda had a rushed marriage without any emotional foundation, now that she was his wife, she should maintain her proper conduct and not be overly intimate with other men. Especially not helping another man pick out clothes!

Luckily, Zelda didn’t ask Burton to try on the shirt she had chosen.

“Charles.”

Anyone who recognized Charles in the store respectfully greeted him.

Burton and Zelda were the slowest to react.

“Charles.”

Burton never expected to encounter Charles here. Despite Charles being physically disabled, he remained one of the most famous figures in River Town’s business world.

Like everyone else, Burton both respected and feared Charles.

Meeting Charles was an opportunity to gain favor that could not be missed.

Burton pulled Zelda and walked over.

Zelda still held the shirt she had chosen.

Dragged in front of Charles by Burton, Zelda felt a bit uneasy under her own man’s stern gaze.

Wait, why was she uneasy?

She hadn’t done anything wrong to him.

With this thought in mind, Zelda straightened her posture, lifted her head, and smiled sweetly, saying, “Charles, what a coincidence!”
