Chapter 24 Kiss Him
Zachary’s face darkened.
He said in a hoarse voice, “Get up.”
Gladys drank herself unconscious and dizzy, having no idea where she was.
Thinking that Vicky was talking to her, she whispered, “Be quiet. I need a break… The pillow is so uncomfortable…”
As she spoke, she wanted to move away in disgust.
Zachary gritted his teeth. How could Gladys feel disgusted when lying on his lap?
“Again, get up,” Zachary ordered in a deep voice.
He could hardly restrain himself.
Gladys felt it was noisy and turned over, wrapping her arms around Zachary’s waist. “Hmm, baby, you’re not obedient today… Be good. Sleep in my arms.”
Baby?
Zachary thought Gladys treated him as her sex partner.
His face turned stormy.
When he was about to get angry, Gladys kissed him to calm him down like coaxing a child.
Her lips were soft.
Unable to restrain himself any longer, Zachary tightened his fists, wrapped his arms around Gladys‘ waist, lifted her forcefully, and carried her in his arms.
He cautioned in a chilly tone, “Whether you’re truly drunk or not, conduct yourself properly, or don’t blame me for treating you harshly.”
At that moment, Zachary looked more ferocious than a wild wolf.
Gladys felt pain in her waist. With a shiver, she opened her eyes a fraction and saw

“Oh? What are you doing here? Remember who you are. Keep your hands off me. I’m going to bed…”
Then she rested her head on Zachary’s shoulder and fell asleep.
Zachary was speechless.
Damn it! It was Gladys who took liberties with Zachary, okay?
He wished he could cast her out of the car and leave her to fend for herself in the wilderness. However, observing her peaceful slumber in his arms, akin to a docile and obedient kitten, he found himself unable to carry out such a heartless act.
More crucially, Gladys was lying on Zachary’s lap, their proximity undeniable.
Somehow, Zachary felt hot.
He loosened his tie and stared at Gladys‘ delicate red face. For a moment, he could hardly resist his impulse.
Zachary couldn’t conquer his desire when Gladys was around.
He shouldn’t have such an idea.
The car stopped at the gate of the villa.
Zachary carried Gladys into the house, deposited her on the bed, and returned to his room after a brief moment.
Observing Zachary taking his pajamas into the bathroom upon his return, Mars furrowed his brow and inquired, “Daddy, are you okay?”
Zachary was taking a cold shower. Hearing Mars‘ voice, he cleared his throat.
“Yes. There’s something dirty on my body, so I need a shower.”
“Oh. I want to take a shower with you.” Since Gladys‘ arrival, Mars had talked a lot and become clingy.
Zachary was happy to see Mars‘ change, but he couldn’t take a shower with Mars tonight.
“Let’s do it tomorrow night. I’ll assemble the model with you after I’m done.”

“Okay.” Mars didn’t insist. He had no idea why he couldn’t take a shower with Zachary tonight.

Gladys had a splitting headache when she woke up the next morning.
It was as if she were beaten by someone.
“You were drunk last night. My daddy brought you back,” said Mars in a sweet voice.
Startled, Gladys sat up. Seeing Mars sitting by the bed, she thought of what happened last night and blushed with shame.
When she was befuddled by drink, she mistakenly thought Vicky was with her, so she kissed and hugged Vicky, but it turned out to be Zachary.
That was to say, Gladys hugged and kissed Zachary. And the toy that made her feel uncomfortable was his….
Oh no!
It was so embarrassing!
Gladys wished she could slap herself awake. Why did she drink that much?
She asked guiltily, “Where’s your daddy?”
Mars replied, “He’s gone to work.”
It was great to know that. Gladys was too ashamed to face Zachary.
She breathed a sigh of relief. “What do you want to eat today? Let’s eat out.” Her hand injury hadn’t healed yet, so it was inconvenient for her to cook.
Without saying anything, Mars pulled Gladys to the dining room downstairs.
Gladys saw a pot of light soup and a green salad, which were perfect for her to get rid of a hangover.
She asked in surprise, “Did your daddy hire a chef?”
“No. I made these specifically for you. My daddy has never tried the dishes I make.”

What? Mars made these dishes? He was only three years old!
Gladys didn’t believe it. Mars said proudly, “How hard can it be to cook? Only a fool like my daddy can’t cook. Don’t tell him about this, or he may get hurt.”
Gladys chuckled. Mars was cute and considerate.
Zachary would be more upset if he knew.
Gladys finished breakfast in high spirits. Afterward, she took Mars to the large supermarket outside the community, intending to treat him.
While other children might dream of bringing home all the snacks and toys from the supermarket, Mars showed restraint. He was more disciplined and sensible than his peers.
Not wanting Mars to be overly mature and suppress his emotions, Gladys led him to the potato chip section. “Pick a flavor you like. They’re tasty!” Vicky could polish off two large packets in one go. However, Mars shook his head, rejecting the idea. “Snacks for kids don’t taste good. I don’t like them.”
“You’re also a child. Pick one. Believe me. I won’t lie to you. If you refuse, I’ll tell your daddy that you can make delicious dishes.”
Mars was speechless.
Was Gladys threatening him?
Mars had no choice but to casually pick up two packets and put them in the shopping cart.
Gladys smiled satisfactorily and took Mars to the children’s play area.
Mars refused resolutely, “Daddy said it was dirty and childish with many children. I won’t go no matter what.”
How could Zachary restrict Mars like this? No wonder Mars was autistic at a young age!
Gladys comforted Mars in a soft voice, “He’s wrong. The area is disinfected every day, and it’s clean. Go have some fun.”
Before Mars could refuse, she paid for a ticket and looked back at him, as if to threaten him, “If you refuse, I’ll tell your dad about your secret.”

Mars regretted it now. He shouldn’t have let Gladys know he could cook.
He thought he was poor.

However, shortly after Mars walked in, he had a terrific time with other children.
That was so much fun!
Gladys spent the whole day with Mars in the shopping mall.
They went back home when it got dark. Gladys said, “You must be tired after playing all day. Sit in the bathtub for relaxation. I’ll go get your pajamas.”
“Okay.” Mars nodded.
Gladys opened the wardrobe and picked up Mars‘ pajamas. When she looked for his underpants, she accidentally saw Zachary’s black ones, and her face colored up.
When she touched Zachary in a daze last night, he seemed to be…
Stop! What was Gladys thinking about?
Gladys quickly picked up Mars‘ underpants and stood up, about to go back to the bathroom.
When she turned around, however, she saw Zachary walk into the bedroom.
He was back!
