The Night I Let Go

"Molly, that's not what I meant!" Zachary swallowed hard, trying to suppress his rising desires.

Molly replied timidly, "Zac, holding back isn't good for your health!"

"Molly, you're still young, and your future is bright! Don't do anything foolish!"

He took a deep breath, attempting to reason with her.

Although he had spent half a million to "hire" her for a year, he had completely lost any inappropriate thoughts after learning about her tragic past.

He only kept her around to help her as much as he could. But it was clear that she misunderstood his intentions and was now offering herself to him.

"Zac, you are my light!" Molly lifted her gaze and locked eyes with Zachary.

At that moment, his heart skipped a beat.

He saw genuine affection and deep attachment reflected in her eyes.

Yet, the more he saw that look, the less he could act inappropriately.

He managed a bitter smile as his internal turmoil gradually calmed.

"Molly, don't think about that half a million! Just consider it an investment in you. Once you start earning money, you can pay me back!"

"Zac, do you hate me?"

At this, Molly's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and the warmth in her gaze dimmed noticeably.

Zachary quickly reassured her, "Don't say that! You're beautiful and strong. How could I ever hate you?"

"Why can you remain indifferent in this situation?"

She blinked. Her big, watery eyes were filled with confusion and insecurity.noveldrama

"Is it because my skin isn't as fair as Anya's, or my figure isn't good enough?"

She bit her lip, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

The look of hurt on her face struck Zachary hard.

Was this what it meant to have such a pure yet yearning expression?

His breathing quickened. He really, really wanted to kiss her.

"Really?"

"Of course! Why would I lie to you?"

"Zac..."

"Hmm?"

Molly's voice was soft and vulnerable as she said, "I feel insecure around you,

so... could you compliment me to boost my confidence?"

"Insecure? Why do you feel that

way? You're obviously amazing! et

You're not just beautiful. You have a great figure, and most importantly, you can cook!"

Zachary was puzzled. He couldn't understand why someone as outstanding as her would feel inferior in front of him.

But he couldn't refuse her heartfelt request, so he listed all the qualities he admired about her.

"Nowadays, most women are

spoiled and don't know how to cook, and you make delicious food. That alone puts you ahead of over 90 percent of your peers!"

"Really, Zac?" Molly looked a bit happier, her big, sparkling eyes filled with anticipation as she stared at him.

"Of course! I wouldn't lie to you!" Zachary smiled and gently ruffled her hair, which she enjoyed immensely.

But then she asked a question that left him utterly bewildered. "Zac, do you prefer women with smaller breasts?"

"Why do you say that?"

"I see online that men like women with larger breasts, but I think mine are decent!

But, it seems like you're not interested at all."

As she spoke, she suddenly looked down.

Zachary noticed that her ears were turning increasingly red.

She was shy.
