Chapter 238 Mr. Zackary Proposed Marriage

Simon squinted his eyes, staring at Zackary maliciously.

Jayden, high above in Sea City, if he couldn't even be a man...

This gameplay, it felt exciting just thinking about it.

Simon tilted his face upwards, casting a glance at the gloomy starry sky, "Big brother, look, I am avenging you! I will make our enemies die a death far more miserable than yours, a thousand, no, a million times over!"

Seeing that Zackary didn't immediately take action, Simon slightly increased his force. The knife he had against Ethan's neck was almost piercing through his skin.

"What, Mr. Zackary, can't bear to not be a man? That's fine, I'll send this brat on his way right now!"

"I'm practically dead, do you think I still care about being a man?" Zackary spoke nonchalantly, as if he wasn't discussing life and death with Simon, but merely saying, "Hey, how are you?"

Zackary slowly raised the knife in his hand. Seeing that he had no regrets, Simon did not continue to attack Ethan.

Penelope stared intently at the knife in Zackary's hand. She knew how proud he was. Such a proud man, if he couldn't even be a man...

Penelope couldn't bear to think any further.

But if Zackary hadn't stabbed with that knife, Ethan would have died.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Penelope found fate to be absurdly laughable. She had no idea how to make a decision.

She could only stare at Zackary with her red eyes, letting the tears wet her small face.

"Big brother, did you see that from heaven? Mr. Zackary is about to be less of a man! Moreover, he will soon be down there apologizing to you. Big brother, aren't you happy?! Hahahaha!"

Listening to Simon's wild laughter, Penelope wished she could rush up and chop him into mincemeat, but she couldn't kill him. All she could do was watch helplessly as Zackary ruthlessly stabbed himself with the knife in his hand.

The sound of a person heavily falling to the ground suddenly rang out. Upon hearing the noise, Simon quickly looked behind him.

He saw that the few brothers he had brought with him had all been struck in the chest by bullets from a silencer, lying motionless at the edge of the cliff.

Simon's eyes were bloodshot, he abruptly turned his face, his gaze fell on Zackary's face like a knife, "Zackary, what you did to them..."

Simon's voice abruptly stopped. This time, the knife in Zackary's hand didn't stab himself, but fiercely flew towards Simon's neck, drawing blood and silencing him.

Simon didn't even have time to cut Ethan's throat before his body fell to the ground, powerless.

"Ethan!"

Penelope held Ethan tightly in her arms, clutching him so close as if, with a little less strength, he would slip away from her life.

"Mom, I'm fine," Ethan didn't want Penelope to worry about him. He quietly hid his worn-out hand behind his back and spoke with a bright smile.

Samuel, accompanied by several bodyguards, rushed out from the nearby woods and quickly supported Zackary, "Boss, how are you?"

"I was fine."

Due to excessive blood loss, Zackary's lips were slightly pale, but the light in his eyes was exceptionally brilliant.

He had Simon lead Ethan forward step by step, just to keep Ethan away from the edge of the cliff. That way, when their people took action, they could ensure Ethan's complete safety.

Of course, if Simon did not agree to his request, he would exchange his own life for Ethan's safety and peace.

Hearing Zackary's voice, Penelope let go of Ethan and turned her face to look towards him.

Zackary shook off Samuel, he walked step by step towards Penelope, his handsome face, as if meticulously carved, was filled with the youthful spirit and determination of a young man.

"Penelope, you just cried for me. Penelope, do you care about me in your heart? Penelope, give me a chance, let me be your Zack again, okay?"

"Zack!"

Penelope threw herself forcefully into Zackary's arms. If she were more pretentious, she would rather die than look back. But in the face of life and death, those resentments seemed too insignificant. What she wanted more was to cherish the present moment, to truly love once.

"Penelope!" Zackary disregarded the pain from his wounds. He knew that Penelope was willing to give him another chance. The joy of regaining what he had lost made him forget about everything else. All he wanted was to hold her tightly and kiss her until the end of time.

"Uncle Samuel, you can't peek at mom and dad kissing! Aliya said, it's impolite to spy on others kissing!"

With a blushing face, Penelope pushed Zackary away.

Listening to Ethan's innocent voice, she really couldn't kiss him anymore.

She just wanted to find a hole and crawl into it.

Recently, it seemed as if she had been frequently poisoning the innocent minds of the nation's young flowers.

Samuel had intended to drive Zackary to the hospital, but he was unwilling to endure the smell of the hospital's disinfectant and insisted on staying in Penelope's small apartment.

Samuel was at a loss and could only have his private doctor go to Penelope's small apartment to treat his wounds.

Fortunately, he controlled his strength well. Although his stabs looked fierce, in reality, both wounds were not very serious.

After the doctor had treated him and given some precautions, under Zackary's disgusted gaze, he quickly and efficiently took Samuel, the big third wheel, and scrammed.

After Xavier found out that Ethan had been kidnapped, he was also extremely anxious.

After receiving the call back from Penelope, his hanging heart finally fell back into place.

He hadn't expected that such an incident of openly kidnapping children would occur in a community with such good security. He felt somewhat guilty for his negligence. To ensure Ethan's safety, he secretly arranged several bodyguards for Ethan.

Zackary had finally managed to impose himself on Penelope's small apartment, with a strong desire to do something impure. However, he had lost too much blood that day and felt somewhat weak.

Zackary, being such a proud and aloof person, how could he allow himself to be less courageous when doing impure things!

So, even though he was extremely uncomfortable, he still had to grit his teeth and continue to endure!

Anyway, he had a big move tomorrow night. After he had gathered his energy, he was going to unleash it!

Holding Penelope quietly in his arms, Zackary felt a profound sense of fulfillment.

In fact, truly loving someone doesn't require much, just gently holding her in your arms, feeling each other's warmth, was already the sweetest tenderness...

Since Penelope had decided to enter the entertainment industry, she needed to sign with a talent agency.

Larger talent agencies usually require contracts to be signed for several years. Penelope didn't want to commit for that long. Coincidentally, a high school senior with whom she had a good relationship, Bexley, had opened a talent studio. She proactively extended an olive branch to Penelope, and they happily signed a one-year contract.

Bexley took a particular liking to her. They had just signed a contract and she had already secured her a role as the third female lead in a major drama. It was Penelope's first time acting in a serious role and she was quite happy to be playing the third female lead.

She hurried back to the small apartment, eager to share the good news with Zackary, who was waiting to have dinner with her.

Penelope had just entered the community when a strong scent of roses wafted into her nostrils.

She was wondering where the fragrance was coming from when suddenly, rose petals began to fall from mid-air. In an instant, she was almost buried in this shower of roses.

Immediately, it was fireworks from tree to tree.

The fireworks ultimately bloomed into the most brilliant and passionate shape.

Penelope, I loved you.

Marry me, will you?
