I'm excited to see how ZC's schemes will work out. She's just too intelligent for them all. They had their chance when she left peacefully in the past but they just had to force her to return with vengeance. Thanx so much for the double chapter! 😊
ReplyDeleteMany thanks
ReplyDeleteZC needs all the help she can get. So I welcome this lady with open arms. She seems smart, not like KQ who fell at the drop of a hat. I like WW the little servant girl but she's a little.... Naive yeah. Too sheltered. Also, ZC's way of talking to MY changed so much. I'm hella surprised he doesn't want to acknowledge it lol. MY still wanted to make pretend. And JS... Not learning from his mistakes. Trying to bring another guard guy down with him. Sigh. Shaking my head. You know... I kinda want the little baby girl to get raised by ZC. Because she's not getting love from JB and is being used as a tool for MY's affection. Also, I just feel that the little baby girl is going to die soon... I have no idea why I feel this way. There was like no forshadowing.
