Chapter 53
“Absolute nonsense! Which fairy is seventy or eighty years old?” Tracy retorted, though deep down, she was thrilled. Every woman loves being told she looks beautiful.
“Just like a fairy! Absolutely stunning!” Elvira joined in the compliments, making Tracy beam with joy.
Lunch was still some time away. Feeling tired, Tracy excused herself to rest, urging the couple to head out first.
Zach, seizing the opportunity, led Elvira back to their bedroom. Once inside, he pressed her against the door and leaned in for a kiss. Elvira felt a bit shy about such affection at Tracy’s house, especially with others nearby. But Zach couldn’t control himself. With his affection for her multiplied with each passing day, he only wished he could cling himself to her.
“Look at the gift I got you first. See if you like it?” Elvira said, gently pushing him away.
Zach agreed. She led him to the bed, presenting a tie and cufflinks she had purchased.
The dark blue tie, subtly patterned, was understated yet sophisticated, accompanied by sapphire cufflinks–both practical and thoughtful gifts.
Zach, looking at the small gifts, recalled Samson mentioning the car purchase and furrowed his brows slightly.
“Do you like them?” she asked, looking at him expectantly.
“Very much.” he held the tie against himself and asked, “How does it look?”
“My taste is, of course, impeccable. Let me help you put it on,” she said. Zach rarely wore ties to work, except on formal
occasions.
Elvira carefully straightened his collar, threaded the tie over his head, and tied it neatly. She then turned his collar down and fastened the cufflinks with the same care and tenderness, resembling a wife attentively dressing her husband, which made his heart flutter.
Zach, touching the first tie Elvira had given him, asked somewhat nervously, “Does it look good?”
He knew he was attractive but never paid much attention to his appearance. However, since marrying Elvira, he began to care, finding his concern somewhat amusing.
“Of course, my taste ensures it looks good! The tie is beautiful, and so are you.” Elvira, grabbing the new tie, wrapped it around her hand twice, pulling him in for a kiss.
Zach was pleasantly surprised.
He now realized that ties could indeed add a bit of spice to a couple’s intimacy! He decided he would buy hundreds more for his wife to enjoy.
As for the car, he chose not to pry further without her initiation, trusting that he would eventually know everything about
her. There was no rush.
At that moment, being close to Elvira was all that mattered.
Zach raised his head, allowing her to kiss him, but she was not as patient and decided to pull away soon. Then, he held her close, deepening their kiss until she was completely lost in the moment.
When a servant knocked on their door to call them for lunch, Their clothes were wrinkled from their embrace, much to her annoyance. “It’s all your fault. Can’t you restrain yourself a bit? This isn’t our home. How embarrassing!”

“What’s embarrassing about a husband and wife being affectionate? Grandma would be happy to know, Zach held her and they kissed again. Then, he helped her to straighten her clothes.
They appeared normal as they rejoined Tracy, though Elvira’s flushed cheeks made her look exceptionally adorable.
Tracy was delighted to see Zach and Elvira’s affection blossoming.
After lunch with Tracy, the couple left. Zach offered to drive Elvira, who asked to stop by a pharmacy.
“Are you feeling unwell?” he asked, concerned.
“No, I need to buy contraception pills,” she revealed her reason for visiting the pharmacy.
He immediately hit the brakes, causing her to lean forward to stabilize herself. “What’s wrong?”
Turning to face her, he fell into silence for a while, when she asked him again, “What’s wrong?”
He unbuckled his seat belt and extended his arms to hug her, apologizing sincerely, “Sorry, Elvira, I was not being considerate enough.”
‘Damn! Why didn’t I think about contraception?‘ he thought.
“It’s not your fault alone. I didn’t think about it either until a doctor friend mentioned it. I was safe before, but now I need to take precautions,” she said, feeling more secure with medication.
“No, let me handle contraception. You shouldn’t take those pills; they can have significant side effects,” he insisted and kissed her forehead, refusing her request to buy contraception pills determinedly.
“Okay,” she agreed with a smile, comforted by his embrace and appreciative of his concern for her well–being. He cherished her so much, which made her feel so good.
“Elvira, I know our marriage was sudden, and we still have much to learn about each other. I understand if you’re not ready for children now, but once we know each other better and you still want to be with me, would you consider having a child with me?” he expressed his desire. He had wished they could have a child of their own and would feel a surge of warmth at the thought of it.
“Okay,” she agreed without hesitation. She was not ready for a child because she was preoccupied with a lot of troubles and matters, which would be a burden for her child.
She was touched by his willingness to respect her decision.
Elvira had begun working officially at her company, unknown as anything but Cole’s assistant.
After dropping her off, Zach inquired, “This is your new job? What’s it about?”
“It’s a jewelry company, I need to work now, you should head back to your company as well,” she said, approaching to kiss him before exiting the vehicle. He watched her enter the building.
Heading back to his company, Zach realized Elvira’s phone was left in the car when he saw it. He decided to return to her office to deliver it.
When he arrived, he saw her standing in front of the office building and watched her get into a black car parked nearby.
He recognized the car as the same one Samson had photographed, which was just bought by Elvira. After she got in, the driver showed a handsome profile through the glass before driving away.

Zach steered the wheel and drove his car to the entrance of the building but Elvira’s car had already left and it was too late to catch up.
At that moment, Elvira’s phone rang. He picked it up and answered.
“Zach, did I forget my phone in your car?”
“Yeah, and I was delivering it to you but I just saw you get into a black car and drive away,” he said. He had got to the point, hoping to resolve his confusion that had lingered for too long.
“I am leaving with the head of our company to talk about partnership. You just keep my phone for now,” she muttered.
Okay.” He had no choice but to agree. Filled with questions, he finally chose not to probe further for the time being.
