Chapter 10 Zachary withdrew his gaze and smiled . " Let me take you there . " Marceline was feeling a little tired , and her head hurt Something felt off about this . How did Zachary know her workplace was near Concord Street ? She was sure she'd never mentioned it . Could Curtis have told him ? Marceline scoffed at the thought . There was no way Curtis knew where she worked . As she leaned against the car door , Marceline ended up dozing off . When they arrived near the villa , she had no idea that the car had already stopped . Two hours later , she woke up to the soft sound of papers being flipped . Panicked , she glanced out the window , only to find that the sky had gone completely dark . She checked her phone . There were two missed calls from Beatrice . Marceline quickly apologized , " I'm sorry for falling asleep , Zach . Why didn't you wake me up ? " You're still recovering . Wouldn't it be cruel of me to wake a patient ? Go ahead and go inside . I already had the door code set up with the property manager . " The code is your birthday . It's a one - story property , so it's pretty small . It's only a little over a thousand square feet . If you don't want to live here , I'll probably just sell it someday anyway . " It was true that no one in the Wolfe family would ever choose to live in a house this small With a nod , Marceline got out of the car . She wasn't sure if she was imagining things , but she thought she saw a car idling by the curb about 100 yards away . However , she simply figured that it was the homeowner of a home nearby . After getting out of the car , she went looking for the right unit and keyed in her birthday into the lock The door unlocked smoothly . After Marceline became the Wolfes ' goddaughter , Zachary had always treated her well , as it she were his actual sister . Just then , Marceline suddenly remembered that her small suitcase was still in Shawn's car . She needed to find some time to get it . Shawn had given her the next day off work , which worked out since her head still ached . After a quick shower , she saw a text from Zachary . " I had someone prepare some clothes for you inside . It's nothing fancy , butthey're all clean . They're in the master bedroom closet . Feel free to wear them . " Sure enough , when Marceline opened the closet , a few sets of loungewear and everyday outfits were neatly placed inside . She didn't even know how to begin thanking him . ** Thanks , Zach . Let me treat you to a meal sometime , Upon seeing Marceline's message , Zachary let out a cold laugh and simply told the driver to start driving . As his car pulled away , it passed another luxury vehicle that had been parked by the curb for a long time now . It was as if all of them were strangers passing in the night . As soon as Curtis returned to the villa , Beatrice shot up from the couch and said , " Did Marcy not come home with you ? She's not answering my calls . What's going on ? Aren't you worried ? " Curtis coldly handed his coat to a nearby mald , visibly irritated . " Why do y o you care about what she does ? " st with " She's just a lady . It's already ten at night , and she's still not home . How can you not be worried at all as her husband ? Be honest me . Do you not love Marcy anymore ? " Curtis , don't forget - you were the one who swore to me you'd treat her well for her whole life . " " Let it go , Grandma . That was a lifetime ago . You should go get some rest now . Chapter 10 " You ! " The fuming Beatrice watched as Curtis started heading upstairs . She darted after him . " Is she really not going to come back ? She barely has any friends in Imperialis - where could she even go at this hour ? Isn't this her home ? " Curtis stopped in his tracks with a dark expression . " Maybe she has another place she considers home . " Grandma , you should go back to Wolfe Manor too , Your influence doesn't stretch that far anymore . " Enraged , Beatrice pointed an accusatory finger at him . " Fine ! The next time you're in trouble , don't come crying to me ! " Curtis said nothing , but just as she turned to leave , he said in a hoarse voice , " She wants a divorce . " Beatrice froze , wondering if she'd misheard him .
