Elvira set her laptop aside and got up to greet him, taking the initiative to apologize. "I'm really sorry about everything that's happening online, but you have to believe me, I didn't push Judy. She's framing me, and I'll find evidence to clear my name."

She could understand why Zach might be upset; anyone would be if their newlywed spouse was suddenly accused of harming a pregnant woman.

She didn't blame him for being angry, considering their relationship was still so new. Even as husband and wife, their understanding of each other's true character had a long way to go.

What are you talking about?" Zach frowned, looking at her.

"Did I cause you trouble? If I had known, I wouldn't have visited your company last time. Then nobody would have known I'm your wife. Could this online mess affect your job?" she tapped her forehead in frustration. Realizing Elvira thought he was upset with her for causing trouble, Zach reached out to stop her from hitting herself. As she looked up, ready to apologize again, Zach kissed her, effectively silencing her.

She stared at him, her eyes wide with confusion, which only deepened when he bit her lip slightly.

"Why bite me if you're mad?" she asked, covering her bitten lip in pain.

"Do you think that's why I'm angry?" Zach tapped her forehead lightly.

Elvira was rendered speechless.

"I'm angry at those online attacking you! I'm angry you didn't come to me with this. Do you see me as just a decoration? I'm going to have someone suppress the trending topic," he said, reaching for his phone to make the call. He took out his phone, dialed the number and was about to talk when she realized and stopped him. "No, don't bother."
