You Are My One and Only

Chapter 23

Patricia shook her head as she replied, “No, we didn’t fight.”

She had never brought up her family before, and Zachary only found out that she was the Young Lady of the Aniston Family when he helped her to register. Although she had this status, she was forced to live outside alone and give birth without support from her family.

He thought she was rather pitiful, and despite his curiosity, he felt that she must have moved out because she didn’t get along with her family.

They completed the registration with the help of his friend, and the Aniston Family was unaware of it.

“Tricia, I’m always here for you. As long as you need help, you can just look for me.”

As long as she turned around, he would be waiting at the same spot for her forever.

Patricia smiled. “I’m fine, really. I just caught a cold a few days ago and have not fully recovered yet. Don’t worry.”

Only then did he stop asking and drove her back to Snowflake Lane, where he stayed for dinner. By the time he left, it was almost dark outside, and Patricia’s whole family saw him off at the door.

Sylvie waved enthusiastically and said, “Bye, Mr. Zach!”

Scott and Stellan bid him goodbye as well. “Mr. Zach, be careful when you’re driving.”

The fact that everyone in this house was very friendly was why Zachary liked coming to Patricia’s house. Moreover, their smiles were very clean and warm, and he thought this place was a pure land with a beauty that was different from the world!

After the car had driven away, the whole family happily walked back into the house, and Patricia asked the boys, “Both of you still have classes in the evening. So, pack your things quickly and head over.”

At the same time, Sylvie had piano lessons, and Patricia wanted to send her there personally so she could keep an eye on her during class. Yet, her head started to pound at the thought of the 60,000 course fees; she had to find a job tomorrow.

After she had changed to head out, she put the scarf on Sylvie properly. “Honey, take your lesson seriously today, and don’t be naughty again.”

This was a course Sylvie had picked by herself, but after attending a few lessons, she started becoming mischievous in her classes and did not take her lessons as seriously as she did.

Sylvie nodded. “Alright, I got it.” Then, she fixed her gaze on Patricia. “Tricia, did the Mr. Handsome who took care of you ask you out for dinner or movies recently?”

This was always how it went on TV—the male lead would ask the female lead out after taking care of her when she was sick, and they would get married soon after they started dating. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Just hearing Isaac’s name frustrated Patricia, and when she recalled that she owed him 100,000 out of the blue, she felt really down on her luck. In the future, even if she were dying of illness, she wouldn’t want him to take care of her anymore.

That’s a sky-high care fee, she thought. It will be amazing if I have this earning power.

Right at this moment, her phone started to ring, and it was Sylvie who passed her phone to her. “Tricia, here’s your phone. Maybe Mr. Handsome is asking you out!”

While Patricia wore her scarf, she wondered, He’s drinking at his father-in-law’s place now. So why will he look for me?

Nevertheless, when she took the phone from her daughter, she was so shocked that she almost tossed it on the floor because it was a call from Isaac.

“Pick it up quickly!” Sylvie urged.

As he was the lender in their relationship, that made him the master, and she could only pick up the call. “Hello.”

Her voice was very indifferent, sounding even more aloof than when dealing with strangers.

“Patricia Aniston, be at Estrella Villa in half an hour. Otherwise, the interest will double,” he said and hung up, leaving Patricia with a frown as she wrinkled her face.

Why is there an interest now? she wondered, wholly regretting her decision to sign the IOU.

When Sylvie heard that a certain woman’s phone had gone silent, she bounced happily. “Yeah! It’s really Mr. Handsome calling to ask you out! Go and do your makeup quickly and make yourself look pretty. I’m going for my lesson now, and I’ll be a good girl.”

Patricia was a little nervous when she watched as Sylvie went downstairs in delight. “Sylvie Aniston, ask Mrs. Zimmers to stay with you for the lesson. Do you hear me?”

“I got it. Remember to throw yourself at Mr. Handsome and give me some siblings!”
