Chapter 268 Rebecca Discovers Demetrius
Sharon cut him off, "Demetrius is my kid, no way I'm handing him over to anyone."
Her eyes were dead set, not a hint of longing for Seb, which finally made Zachary chill out.
He reassured her, "I get it. If Seb tries to snatch Demetrius, I'll back you up."
"Thanks, Zachary."
After a beat, Zachary said, worried, "But with Seb in Aidamore now, keeping your stuff under wraps might get tricky."
Sharon wasn't shocked; she had a gut feeling when she bumped into Rebecca at the restaurant earlier.
Now that Seb had lost his memory, it wasn't Sharon who should be sweating, but Rebecca.
Rebecca was Seb's fiancée now. Even if Seb had amnesia, Rebecca would freak out that one day Seb might remember and call off the engagement.
The more you have, the more you fear losing it.
"I know," Sharon said calmly.
Seeing her calm face, Zachary knew she was on top of things and dropped the subject.
No matter what, he had the means to protect her now.
The car pulled up in front of Zachary's villa, but he didn't get out. Instead, he turned to Sharon, his voice serious, "Sharon, I wasn't planning to say this so soon, but seeing Seb today made me feel like I had to. I'm scared if I don't say it now, I might never get the chance."
With a serious look, he went on, "Sharon, can you give me a shot at taking care of you and Demetrius? I'll treat Demetrius like my own."
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Sharon bit her lip.
She was thinking about giving things a go with Zachary, but she hadn't decided yet.
Getting into a new relationship now meant thinking about not just herself, but also Demetrius.
"Zachary, I get how you feel. Can you give me some time to think it over?"
Zachary had braced himself for a no, so when he heard this, a flicker of joy crossed his face.
Her saying she'd think about it meant she wasn't totally against the idea.
"Sure, take your time, no rush, I can wait."
"Alright."
Zachary and Sharon got out of the car and headed to the villa. Zachary was all smiles, his eyes soft whenever they landed on Sharon.
Inside the living room, Zachary asked a servant to show Sharon to a guest room to rest.
"Don't worry, I'll handle Demetrius when he wakes up. You get some rest."
Zachary had hung out with Demetrius before, so Sharon nodded, "Alright, thanks."
Sharon slept till noon. After freshening up, she walked to the living room and saw Demetrius playing chess with Zachary. She quickly walked over.
Hearing footsteps, Zachary looked up and smiled, "I had the kitchen warm up some porridge you like. Have some later."
As he spoke, a servant had already gone to fetch the porridge.
"Okay."
Seeing Sharon standing next to Zachary and Demetrius, the servant set up a small table nearby and placed the porridge on it.
"Ms. Roach, enjoy."
"Thanks."
Sharon sat down, took a sip of the porridge, and said, "It's delicious."
But the taste seemed familiar.
The servant next to her smiled, "Mr. Cook made it himself. He spent over a week learning from the chef."
Zachary glanced at the servant, "Alright, you can go now."
Sharon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him, noticing his ears turning red, and felt a playful urge.
She chuckled, "Mr. Cook, I didn't expect you to have time to learn how to make porridge with your busy schedule."
Zachary cleared his throat, looking down to hide his nerves, "You have a weak stomach. When we were eating out abroad, you said the porridge was good, so I learned from the chef. Now I can make it for you whenever you want."
Hearing that, Sharon was stunned. She hadn't expected that a casual compliment from her would stick with him, and that he'd go out of his way to learn from the chef.
A warm feeling started bubbling up inside her, and her eyes got a bit teary. She never thought someone would do something like this for her.
"Zachary, thank you."
Zachary looked up at her, "Sharon, no need to thank me. I'm not doing this without expecting anything in return."
Meeting his tender gaze, Sharon felt her face heat up and quickly looked away.
Glancing away, Sharon noticed that most of Zachary's black pieces were gone, taken by Demetrius's white ones. She couldn't help but laugh, "Zachary, you should focus on the game. You're about to lose."
A few minutes after she spoke, Zachary lost to Demetrius.
Zachary chuckled, "Demetrius, you're amazing. I can't beat you."
Demetrius frowned, "Mr. Cook, you weren't playing seriously."
"I was serious. It's just that your skills are getting better. To reward you for winning, I can grant you a wish. Is there anything you want?"
Demetrius thought for a moment, then leaned over to Zachary and whispered something.
Zachary smiled and nodded, "Alright, I promise you."
Seeing Zachary and Demetrius whispering mysteriously, Sharon raised an eyebrow, "What are you two whispering about?"
"Not telling you. It's a secret between us men."
Hearing that, Sharon was momentarily speechless.
After finishing the porridge, Zachary drove Sharon and Demetrius back.
Passing by a mall, Zachary suddenly stopped the car and looked at Sharon, "Sharon, Demetrius and I are going to buy something. You wait in the car."
Sharon frowned, "Is there something I can't know about?"
"Yes, it's a reward for Demetrius. It's a secret for now."
"Alright, but hurry back."
Then Zachary got out of the car with Demetrius and walked towards the mall. None of them noticed a camera in the corner snapping several photos of Zachary and Demetrius.
Someone reported to Rebecca, "Ms. Walker, according to our investigation, Sharon has a child. Here are the photos of the child. Take a look."
Rebecca took the photos and saw a face that looked a lot like Seb's. Her hand clenched the photos tightly, crumpling them instantly.
That bitch Sharon!
Sharon pretended not to be interested in Seb and wouldn't compete with her, but secretly, she had Seb's child!
If Seb knew about this child, even without his memory, he might be drawn back to Sharon!
The more Rebecca thought about it, the angrier she got. Her eyes were practically on fire.
She would never let Seb find out about the child.
She got up and walked to the window, her mind racing with thoughts on what to do.
This was Aidamore, not Metropolis. If she made a move against Sharon, she might be exposed easily.
Especially now that Sharon had Zachary by her side.
Could she really just let Sharon take Seb away from her again?
No, there must be a way!
