Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 130: I'm Serious



Dora stood at the other end of the corridor and watched Zac and Patricia together.
She couldn't help but smile at seeing them being intimate with one another.
Now that Zac was here neither of them would be lonely, thought Dora.
It was only natural to expect that their feelings for each other would grow.
She knew that some of the credit for this would go to her and this made her feel good.
She had, after all, helped clarify some of the misunderstandings between them.
Apart from the pain in Patricia's wound, of which she needed to be mindful, the doctor had said that Patricia was doing much
better.
Zac, however, needed a little more convincing.
He asked the doctor anxiously, "Are you sure she's fine now? Should we be expecting any sequels?"
The doctor was a little embarrassed by the question.But he composed himself and smiled at Patricia.
"Please don't be so anxious, Mr.Reynolds.She's recovering well.All she needs now is rest and precautions.Also try to avoid any
further injury.It would be best to avoid any strenuous exercise as well."
Though he felt a little reassured, Zac looked at her with concern.
The next instant, he impulsively scooped her up in his arms.
Without a care for anyone else present there, he carried her out of the doctor's office and back to her room.
Embarrassed, Patricia buried her face in his chest.
She wanted to avoid a scandal at all costs.
The last thing she wanted was to be the subject of news headlines again.
The moment they entered her room, she said angrily, "Put me down, Zac!"
He felt a little hurt at her tone and continued to hold on tightly.

"So, you're giving me orders now, is it? I can't let you do that now, can I?"
Disregarding her wishes, he took his own time to carry her over to the bed.
Just before he put her down though, an idea struck him.
He paused to look at her.
Patricia felt a little nervous and confused by his expression.
Her voice a mere whisper, she asked him, "What is it, Zac?"
What was he doing? She couldn't tell what was going on in his mind.
Why was he just staring at her? "What is it, Zac? What do you want to do?"
Patricia was utterly confused now.He hadn't said a word in the last few minutes.He just stood there, holding her in his arms.
Something seemed to have become clear in his mind as he suddenly smiled down at her.
Patricia's nervousness was now turning into fear and she began to grow extremely suspicious.
"Zac, what's the matter with you? Say something!"
She couldn't help but feel like there was an evil plan formulating in his mind.
An inexplicable shiver went down her spine.He was being stranger than ever.
Without warning, he turned to walk to the balcony and placed her on the bench.
It was a dark night, except for the soft moonlight.
He continued to think deeply, ignoring Patricia's requests.
Didn't his secretary tell him how exactly to make a woman fall in love with him?
'l need to be her knight in shining armour.She needs to feel loved and have a sense of the romance, but also feel protected at
the same time,” thought Zac.
He had made an important decision and it was time he told her.

Her suspicions constantly growing, Patricia was about to say something when out of the blue, Zac got down on one knee.
A look of determination on his face, he held her left hand and said, "Patricia I know it will be a while before you can forgive me for
the things of the past and it will be even longer before you can accept me.But that doesn't affect the way I feel about you.I love
you dearly and I hope you can find it within your heart to believe me.I will do everything in my power to take care of you, if you
will allow me to do so."
Patricia was stunned into silence.Words couldn't express how taken aback she was.She was unsure of how exactly she felt.
All she knew was that she was surprised.
After everything that happened, after having been so arrogant with her, how could he possibly be proposing to her now? Could
she trust his word now? She was unable to formulate an opinion and she was far from making a decision.
She couldn't tell for sure what was going on in Zac's mind, but she started to believe that his promise was genuine.
She was in a trance.There was a lot she wanted to say, but was unable to.
Zac was Satisfied to see that she hadn't turned him down, even though she hadn't said anything yet.
This was enough for him to feel confident that he would be able to convince her.
"Patricia, can you trust me?"
He raised her hand to his lips, all the while maintaining eye contact with her.He kissed the back of her hand gently and there was
a warmth in his eyes.
Patricia felt her heart melting as her mind went blank.
She seemed to have lost all control over her senses as she nodded at him in response.
He moved close to her, his lips near her ear.
"Always remember that I love you and I will take care of you." This took her breath away.
His voice was firm yet, tender.
All of a sudden, Patricia felt embarrassed by how easily she got carried away.She tried to regain control of herself.

"Zac, I..."
But he placed a finger on her lips, preventing her from saying something more.
He smiled and said softly, "You don't have to say anything more.I understand how you feel."
‘How on earth does he know what I'm feeling? What is he talking about?’ wondered Patricia nervously.
She used both hands to keep Zac at bay and said, "Zac, I don't think you know what I was going to say.I think you've misread the
situation."
‘What was she saying? How could I have misunderstood her?' Zac was at a loss.
He couldn't figure out what she was talking about.He backed away from her and stared, puzzled and surprised.
What he saw on her face was discomfort, as opposed to the pleasure he had hoped for.
"Your wishful thinking doesn't allow you to see the situation as it is! I didn't want this!"
Patricia was struggling to explain her side as quickly as she could.She wasn't even sure of how much sense she was making.
Her face was flushed with embarrassment and she couldn't meet his gaze.Zac could not comprehend this turn of events.
She was not supposed to react in this way! He was still a little uncertain of what exactly she was trying to say.
Patricia cleared her throat in an attempt to make her voice seem more in control and serious.
"What I meant, Zac, was that Iam not accepting your proposal." It had to be said, she knew that.
But the moment she said it she turned around walked back into the room.
She could not stand to be around him for another moment.She was bound to lose control over herself if she was with him any
longer.
It had taken a second for Patricia's words to sink in, but when they did he shouted out aloud.
He walked over to her quickly and asked, "What did you just say to me? You're rejecting me?"
‘She still doesn’t believe me, ' thought Zac.

She nodded without hesitation.He could feel the anger rising within him.
She seemed to be up to her old tricks again, he thought.
Patricia turned to get into bed and then closed her eyes.
She ignored him and pretended to go to sleep.
He kept trying to speak to her, but she was adamant that she didn't want to respond.
