Chapter 362 I Want Cuddles and Kisses
Every word was like a stab to Zacharias‘ lungs. His face darkened, and he clenched his fists, ready to strike.
“Zacharia, don’t be impulsive.” Selina clung to him tightly, crying as she tried to hold him back.
She refused to believe Anneliese had no feelings left for Zacharias. If she could provoke Anneliese into showing even the slightest reaction toward him, it would plant a thorn in Jonathan’s heart.
Besides, Jonathan and his friends were not people they could afford to offend. She was also trying to protect Zacharias.
“Selina, let go of me!” Zacharias roared in anger.
As she couldn’t restrain him, Selina turned to Anneliese. “Anne, everyone’s here because of you. Are you just going to stand aside and watch?”
Anneliese poked Jonathan’s chest twice, and only then did the man reluctantly let her go.
She rose from his lap, her gaze icy as it swept over Zacharias and Selina.
“Even glancing at you is already showing you respect. You think far too highly of yourselves.”
With that, she bent down, picked up the cake Selina had brought, and walked toward them.
Selina’s expression changed. “What… What is it?”
In two strides, Anneliese reached them, flipped her wrist, and smashed the whole cake straight into their faces.
To deal with these two, her rule was simple–use her hands, not her mouth.
After all, beasts couldn’t understand human words.
“Ah!” Selina screamed, hiding in Zacharias‘ arms.
Zacharias‘ expression twisted as he tried to block it, but it was inevitable.
Half of Selina’s face and hair were smeared with cream, while Zacharias‘ suit jacket was left in a
mess.
“Anneliese!”

Zacharias glared furiously and reached to grab her.

Before he could, Jonathan appeared behind Anneliese, wrapping an arm possessively around her waist while seizing Zacharias‘ outstretched hand.
With a faint, mocking smile, his cold lips curled as he glanced at Selina clinging to Zacharias
in tears.
“Mr. Shaw, do you still live by the motto–eyeing what you could never get?”
Zacharias‘ face sank even further. Panicked, he looked to Anneliese, only to meet her disdainful gaze.
He instinctively pulled back his hand, wanting to push Selina away.
However, with cake plastered across half her face, Selina’s eyes glued shut. She clung tighter, crying as she grabbed at him.
“Zacharias, my eyes hurt.”
Forced, Zacharias bent down and carried her in his arms. He looked at Anneliese.
“Anne, it’s my birthday today. I only wanted to share a piece of cake with you like before, to ask if you prepared me a gift. Why go this far?
“No matter what, you can’t erase the 14 years of childhood we shared. Do you know, when I made my wish just now, every single wish was about you?”
His eyes burned with passion and heartbreak, as if his feelings ran impossibly deep.
To anyone unaware, it might have looked like true devotion.
Anneliese clenched her teeth.
Does Zacharias really think this is love?
He had no idea her marriage to Jonathan was a contractual one. Bringing up their past in front of him over and over wasn’t for her sake–it was just his petty male pride, competing for dignity.
Does he think I’m an object to be fought over? Has he ever once considered my position?
If he truly regretted and wished her well, he should disappear quietly and offer blessings from
afar.

Anneliese instinctively looked up at Jonathan. His jaw was taut, though his face betrayed no other emotion.
Yet, she sensed danger. He was displeased.
Her survival instinct kicked in. She raised her hand and gently cupped his face.
He lowered his eyes to her.
With a pitiful look, Anneliese said, “What do I do? He made his wish about me. Am I cursed now? Will something bad happen? Honey, calm me down, please.”
The frost in Jonathan’s gaze melted. “What can I do to calm
you
down?”
Anneliese’s cheeks flushed.
Curling her lips into a smile, she mimicked his way of calling her, tiptoed closer, and said, “I want cuddles and kisses.”
Then, face burning, she leaned in and nuzzled against his handsome features.
Jonathan’s chest rose and fell, a deep chuckle slipping out.
Meanwhile, Zacharias‘ face turned completely green, veins throbbing on his forehead.
