Chapter 404 Zachary And Pollards Relationship (2/2)
”Hey, Polly, don't pull a long face all the time. You may not be able to get married! I think Harley is a good man, and I intended to introduce him to you. But now that you guys have known each other, he must know what kind of personality you have. It seems that making him my brother-in-law would be quite impossible!” Pollard continued to add fuel to the fire unintentionally. It was noticeable that he was trying to bring Zachary and Polly together.
After hearing his words, Zachary put on a meaningful smile as he trained his gaze at Polly.
Polly, who was standing next to Pollard, was a little embarrassed being stared at by Zachary, and she said hurriedly, ”I'm not talking to you.” Then she quickly spun on her heels and left in a hurry. Panic engulfed her, but she fought hard to remain calm. She could not let others notice her strange feelings for Zachary.
”Wow, I never knew that she could be so shy!” Pollard blurted out. Pausing for a bit, he mulled over her reaction. When he observed how Polly behaved, he cou
the Burial Abyss to cultivate in seclusion to break through to the Imperial Level. But later, he was suddenly nowhere to be found, and he disappeared for three long years. One reason I came to the Shura College was to search for him, and I even entered the Burial Abyss several times, but I had never found him. At that time, I began to suspect that something terrible might have happened to him. No matter what I did, I couldn't get in touch with him. Although he finally came back a few months ago, I also noticed that he had changed a lot. Sometimes he is totally another person, and he looks very lonely. So when I saw you two talk and laugh happily just now, I felt very strange. It is very unusual. Are you sure you didn't hide anything from me?” Polly disclosed her confusion after a short hesitation.
”Really? Then I'll talk to him more often so that he won't be lonely and you won't be so suspicious. Even if something dangerous had happened to him when he was in the Burial Abyss, it's all over. You can't change that fact. Sometimes, if you care too much about what happened in the past and try to dig something more, you may get other people hurt even though you don't mean to,” Zachary seriously revealed with a solemn look after he heard her words.
Polly, observing his seriousness, began to carefully think because what he just said did make sense to some degree. Maybe, leaving the past in the past was a better idea. The most important thing was that her brother returned safe and sound. 'Zachary was right, ' she mused to herself.
”Is there anything else you want to know from me?” Zachary prompted her further.
”Nothing else. Thank you!” Polly gracefully came round after hearing what he said. She gently shook her head and was a little grateful to him.
”Then I'll leave now.” Zachary spun around. And with a wave of his hand, he left, leaving Polly lost in thought.
