Zoe had known this man for many years, and even when she was just a child, his treatment of her, though gentle, was always

tasteful design in the form of a tailored skirt suit. An additional layer of sheer fabric was added to her hat, partially veiling her
graceful and charming features and exuding an elegant charm.

âYou're by my side now. What is there to fear?â
Wyatt glanced at her, his gentle and steady voice giving her immense
