Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: On their wedding night, he didn’t touch her. “When I was a kid, no one played with me either, so I liked to do silly things, like carving flowers out of carrots,” Zachary Santos laughed, “It was just a way to pass the time.”

“I didn’t have anyone to play with during my childhood either,” Ann Nolan said with a wan smile.

She lost her parents when she was very young, and her grandfather was busy with his business.

Grandfather Santos was afraid she’d get into trouble, so he didn’t really let her go out to play. She had no choice but to stay at home, read books, practice the piano, cook, and occasionally imagine a family life while hugging a cloth doll.

Her childhood was quite lonely, but it did cultivate a good habit of loving books.

However, apart from reading, she seemed to have no other merits.

The liveliness or charm seen in other girls, she didn’t have any of it.

It was no wonder that when they were in college, Zaiden Santos said behind her back to his friends that she was a bookworm, dull and clunky, and only a man who went blind would like her. What good was academic excellence or the multitude of awards if her appearance killed all desire?

He also said he always gave her the first place otherwise, what could he do if the little girl didn’t have a way out and came crying to him?

Already ugly, wouldn’t crying make her even uglier?

How frightening that would be.

Of course, she only found out about all this afterwards.

Even though Zaiden Santos never said it to her face, she could feel his dislike when they first got married.

Moreover, he found an excuse to make her take off the wedding ring just three days after the wedding.

On their wedding night, he didn’t touch her.

As for wedding photos… they didn’t take any, and they never made up for it later.

Sometimes fate just plays tricks on people. If she had known some things earlier, today’s outcomes might not have happened.

She had never confessed her feelings to anyone from childhood to adulthood. The one and only time was a quiet word to her grandfather.

In the summer, as she sat on the balcony chatting with Grandfather Santos, he asked if she liked anyone, and that was the moment she confessed she did.

That was the only time, and probably the last.

Because once, she truly liked him.

Suddenly reminded of things she shouldn’t reminisce about, Ann Nolan lowered her head, “We can call Grandfather Santos for dinner now.”

“We can,” Zachary Santos nodded, “I’ll go.”

“Mm.”

Ann Nolan brought the dishes to the dining room, while Zachary Santos went out to the courtyard to call Grandfather Santos.

Grandfather Santos had a peaceful mindset and rarely liked to worry. The older he got, the more he enjoyed happy things.

Both Ann Nolan and Zachary Santos knew Grandfather Santos’ temperament, so they chose to talk about pleasant things and happy events at the dinner table.

“Ann, how’s the new job after the switch? Is your boss treating you well?” Grandfather Santos asked.

“The new job is better than the previous one, I really like it. The boss doesn’t put on airs and is very polite to me,” Ann Nolan said with a smile.

She rolled up her sleeves, preparing to peel shrimp for Grandfather Santos.

Zachary Santos stopped her hand, “I’ll do it.”

Ann Nolan’s hand paused, and she looked up at Zachary Santos.

The man had a clear and bright expression, his gentle features like a refreshing breeze after a clear moon, his eyes like stars, exuding a mature charm all their own.

“Let Zaiden do it!” Grandfather Santos said with a laugh, looking at them, “You just keep me company while I eat.”

Ann Nolan nodded and served Grandfather Santos a piece of braised pork.

“Grandfather, Zaiden made all these dishes, I didn’t help much,” Ann Nolan said.

“Zaiden’s cooking is quite good. Every time he visits, he cooks for me and has spoiled my taste. I don’t even like what the cook makes anymore,” Grandfather Santos said, “I wish he could visit more often, but he’s busy.”

“Grandfather, I’ll come back whenever I have time,” Zachary Santos said as he peeled the shrimp, a light smile on his face.

“You should come back more when you have the time. You can’t always leave Ann to keep me company, she is busy with work too,” Grandfather Santos said.
