Seven Years of Marriage with Jake
Chapter 33

Book 2- Chapter 24

We exchanged contact information.

Zack often came to the shop, sometimes bringing a small cake, sometimes bringing some creative little trinkets he had found. In his eyes, I seemed to still be the little girl from our childhood.

When it was busy, he would help me greet customers and trim flower stems. That's when I discovered he knew so much about flowers.

We had more and more topics to talk about, and the smile on my face grew deeper day by day, until one day, Zack confessed to me: "Ava, I like you. I've liked you since we were kids. Will you be my girlfriend?" I was obviously flustered and at a loss: "I'm sorry, Zack, I. I was once divorced."

He gently patted my head, "Silly, divorce isn't your fault. Besides, I already knew."

It turns out he had never really left my world.

The year we graduated, Zack had come to find me, but by then I was with Ethan, so he left quietly.

Later, when he heard I was divorced, he deliberately took on a scenic area development project in this city to come back.

"After the project is over, my younger brother will graduate this year, and it's time for him to contribute to the family business."

Zack looked at me, his face full of sincerity, "So Ava, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Okay," I heard myself say.

Zack excitedly picked me up and spun me around. At this moment, the image overlapped with, pulled at, and tore apart the scene from my previous life when Ethan spun me around after learning I had won the lottery. I finally completely reconciled with my past self.

I looked at him, unable to help asking: "If I can't have a baby, would you still choose to be with me?"

Zack smiled and said: "It's not like our family has billions of assets that need an heir."
