She Got A Better Man

Chapter

Calvin was bewildered when he received a notification that his membership card was invalidated. He called to ask but was told curtly that he had offended someone.

Calvin smashed his phone angrily. 'How could I explain to Dad? he thought. They got most of their family businesses because they had Vilzell's membership. His father would be furious.

Calvin thought about it. He couldn't recall offending anyone important lately, except for ditching Elvira. He thought, 'It can't be her. If Elvira were capable, she couldn't have suffered for so many years. Thinking about Zach, Calvin felt uncomfortable. Zach was intimidating but Calvin refused to think he was capable. Zach was only a waiter.

Soon, Calvin's father, Mike Kennedy, called to yell at him for losing the membership.

Sweating profusely, Calvin protested, "Dad, it has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything"

"That's bullshit. I called them. They told me to ask who you offended. Calvin, you've caused our family a lot of trouble." Mike was genuinely mad.

Calvin was even more puzzled by his development. He was sure he didn't offend anyone..

After they hailed a cab and got in, Zach's phone rang. The servant at home informed Zach that Tracy had fainted and was rushed to the hospital. Zach's expression changed. He told the cab driver to head straight to the hospital. "What's wrong? Is Tracy okay?" Elvira inquired nervously.

"Grandma fainted and was sent to the hospital. Zach clenched his fists. He regretted not obeying his grandmother and marrying sooner. If he had, his grandmother could have had the surgery earlier instead of barely holding on. Elvira held Zach's hand. Tracy will be fine. Don't think the worst."

Zach looked at her, then hugged her. Elvira's breath caught. She wasn't used to being so intimate. But since Zach was upset, Elvira didn't push him away. She patted him. "Relax. It will be fine."

When they arrived at Tracy's ward, Tracy was awake, though looking frail. Elvira grabbed her hand and asked about her. Zach questioned the doctor about Tracy's condition.

The doctor told Zach that Tracy had to have the surgery as soon as possible. Zach agreed. The doctor nodded and left. "Scared you, did I? I'm fine." Tracy smiled and looked at Elvira affectionately. "Don't say that. If they brought you a little later, you'd have died." Zach's eyes were red.

Zach was raised by his grandparents. His grandfather had passed away a few years ago, leaving his grandmother as his only relative who treated him well.

"I know, sorry. Now that you're married, I'll have the surgery soon. If you two give me a great-grandchild, I promise to live as old as I can, okay? Tracy looked at them while grinning.

Elvira was stunned. She wondered, 'We are just married and Tracy is already talking about having children?"

Don't break your promise: Zach approached and held Tracy's other hand.

Zach had agreed. Tracy knew it. Zach wouldn't be able to resist Elvira once he knew more about her. Tracy remarked, "I won't. I can't wait to see your child. You two can focus on your careers and I'll take care of it. Elvira blinked. She hadn't even agreed yet.

After Tracy fell asleep, Zach and Elvira left the ward. Thinking about the surgery, Elvira transferred 40 thousand dollars to

him.

Zach saw the notification on the phone and looked at Elvira.

Elvira spoke, "Tracy's about to have the surgery. Keep it. You might have to spend on other stuff too. Don't worry. We're married. I'll help you out."

"Elvira, have you considered my suggestion?" Zach couldn't describe the feelings swirling within him. In a world full of materialism and lies, Elvira was a "fool, but her "foolishness" touched his soul.

Taken aback, Elvira put down her phone and blinked at him. "If you're not afraid of my family troubles, let's try it."

Having spent two days with him, Elvira knew she didn't dislike him. She liked his kisses too, although she felt awkward. Since she was single, she could give it a try.

Seeing Elvira's face reddened, Zach leaned in closer. Elvira stepped back, stuttering, "W-what are you doing?"

Elvira was pressed up against the wall. Zach caged her in with an arm and raised her chin. He commanded, "Close your eyes."

Elvira obeyed. Zach's lips fell on hers. Fireworks exploded in Elvira's mind. She opened her eyes, gazing at Zach's handsome face. His unique scent surrounded her. Her breath caught.

After kissing Elvira for two minutes, Zach noticed her face getting redder. He let her go reluctantly and pinched her chin. "You need to learn to breathe while kissing."

Elvira stared at him and said, I'm not as experienced as you."

"It's common sense. Zach lowered his head to kiss her

again.

Elvira stopped him, glancing around. A few people were watching from a distance. She turned redder and pulled Zach into a nearby stairwell.

Not far away, Olivia admired the photo of the couple kissing and was delighted. She sent the photo to Elvira with a big thumbs-up.
