He got into the car, thumped the wheel and drove away.<\/p>\n<p>It took Zachariah about half an hour to get to Cora\u2019s place. The door was opened soon after he rang the doorbell. A figure threw itself into his arms before Zachariah carried it into the room.<\/p>\n<p>Cora snuggled up to Zachariah and said injuredly, &#8220;Zach, I thought you would stand me up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah just let Cora hold him, his body stiff.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Cora could feel the stiffness of Zachariah\u2019s body and looked up at him. &#8220;Zach, why are you so unhappy to see me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah twined his arms around Cora and comforted her. &#8220;Come on. If I was unhappy to see you, do you think I would have turned up here?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cora clung on to Zachariah and put on a vulnerable look. &#8220;Zach, don\u2019t be mad at me for what I said on the phone just now, alright? You know, pregnant women tend to be sensitive. The doctor says it\u2019s called antepartum depression. As long as you\u2019re by my side more often, I\u2019ll be happy and I won\u2019t think too much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah held Cora in his arms and replied, &#8220;Stop thinking too much then. I\u2019ll try my best to spend more time with you in the future. Now go to bed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cora clutched Zachariah to her like a koala holding a tree. She looked up and said coquettishly, &#8220;Zach, I\u2019m not sleepy yet. Let\u2019s chat. It\u2019s been a long time since we talked like this last time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cora rubbed against Zachariah\u2019s chest like a kitten and said, &#8220;Zach, do you remember where we had our first kiss?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah was stunned, his mind blank for seconds. He had no idea where they had kissed for the first time at all. Although he claimed that he loved Cora, Zachariah didn\u2019t have many memories of her.<\/p>\n<p>Cora pouted and grumbled, &#8220;Zach, did you forget about it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah lowered his head and pressed his lips against Cora\u2019s, but pulled away the next moment, acting as if he was an affectionate lover. &#8220;Memories are the past. All you have to keep in mind is that I\u2019ll be kissing you whenever you want from now on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Disappointment flashing across Cora\u2019s eyes, she rubbed Zachariah\u2019s lips with her fingers and said, &#8220;Zach, can you promise that you\u2019ll only kiss me in the future?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah grabbed her hand, moved it away and changed the topic. &#8220;How\u2019s the baby today?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah softened at once. He turned around, took Cora in his arms, wiped the tears off her face and whispered, &#8220;Don\u2019t cry, or your eyes will get puffy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cora gave a flirtatious punch on Zachariah\u2019s chest and grumbled, &#8220;You\u2019re the one making me cry. To make up for it, you have to spend the night here with me, or I\u2019ll have an abortion. Since you\u2019re not going to marry me anyway, I can\u2019t marry some other man with the baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zachariah\u2019s face darkened immediately.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cora, if you\u2019re joking by saying that you\u2019ll have an abortion, I\u2019ll just ignore it. But if you mean it, I\u2019ll get angry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cora caressed Zachariah\u2019s cheeks and said with bleary eyes, &#8220;Zach, do you really care about the baby in my womb?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s my baby, and how can I not care about it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Which do you like better, our baby, or Ophelia\u2019s baby?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1041","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
