It was as if she had just told a joke.
She looked at Steven sarcastically, “So you mean, they are wrong, but you are not?”
Steven’s back stiffened slightly.
He took a deep breath, and explained, “I did not know you were drugged last night. I did notice something wrong with you at the time, but I didn’t think of it that way. I was going to help you, but Annie suddenly had a stomachache. I can’t just leave her alone.”
Zoe raised her eyebrows, “And then? She lost the baby?”
After a short pause, he finally answered, “No.”
“She did not lose her baby, so she just had a
stomachache suddenly for no reason? I think she’s doing well just now. She doesn’t seem like having a miscarriage?”
His expression turned cold somewhat.
“What do you mean?”
Zoe gave a wry smile, “I don’t mean anything. Her acting was not so good, but she still fooled you around. Mr. Anderson. I did not think you are so dumb.”
“Zoe!”
He hated her condescending manner the most.
Because that would make him think, and he would think a lot.
He darkened his face, gritting his teeth, and he said, “Why are you always so harsh to your own sister? If you don’t like her, you can just not meet her again. Why do you just have to curse
her with out vicious mouth? You have changed a lot!”
Zoe’s face also darkened.
She sneered and stared at the man in front of her coldly.
“They did everything they could to hurt me. I just mentioned the word ‘miscarriage’ and you think I am vicious? Why don’t you think of the things she had done to me?”
He was stunned, but he did not have the courage to say anything in retort.
Finally, he just said coldly, “Nothing happened to you anyway! Maybe she’s not even involved!”
But she just gave a sarcastic sneer, and shook her head. She really didn’t want to waste her breath with him.
She turned and walked toward the Rolls-Royce.
The voice sounded from behind again, “Wait!”
Zoe stopped, and her face was cold.
The man walked up, but finally stopped when there was only a step between them.
The light drizzle blew between the two, just like an invisible wall separating them apart.
She said coldly, “Just say whatever you have to say. I don’t have that much time for you.”
The man clenched his fists tightly, and finally he asked her the question he had hidden in his heart for so long.
“Are you … Are you serious? Being with him.”
Zoe sure understood what he meant by “him”.
She curled her lips but she did not turn back to him. She just tilted her head slightly so that it would be just enough for him to see her smile.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Yes. What?”
“When did it happen?”
“What does it even get to do with you?”
The man fell silent.
After a short pause, he said in a grim voice, “That man is not what he looks like. His background is quite complicated. He’s not for you. You will regret one day!”
Zoe smiled lightly.
Her smile was both sarcastic and sad.
“People said we were quite for each other. But what happened then?”
The man fell silent again.
“Steven, you think you are smart. And you think you know everything. But you will know one day, you know nothing. You just think you know, but you don’t.”
With that, she didn’t want to continue the nonsense here and just strode away on her high heels.
Someone in front had already walked to her holding an umbrella.
The bluish-black umbrella was held above her head respectfully.
The man bent down and opened the car door for her. Zoe got into the car. Her proud and cool nobility was beyond description.
Steven stood there and was somewhat stunned as the door closed.
An idea struck him that maybe he had never understood this woman.
It had been the six years. And in his eyes, she was still the little girl in that summer six years ago.
Her homework in her hands, the little girl was
dressed in her blue school uniform with her hair tied up in a high ponytail. Her smile was so bright.
His heart at that moment was like the snow melting in the spring. He just felt everything was just so beautiful.
But the memory after that was somewhat blurred.
After the incident of Kiera, there was a new Mrs. Gil, and Zoe also went abroad.
It seemed that she had never smiled at him since then. Her gentle giggles were gradually replaced by her silent aloofness.
She was freezing cold since then. And he never knew what she had been thinking and he never knew how he should warm up her ice-cold heart.
Even when he was in front of her, no matter how close they were, he just knew they were actually far away from each other.
They were so far away from each other that he thought … he thought it might be even better if they had not fallen in love six years ago.
And that was exactly why he thought it might be the best choice for them to break up.
He loved Annie, and Annie loved him. Zoe was just a beautiful and short dream in his youth.
He had woken up from that dream already. It was just that he could not bear to wake her up as well.
And now, things were just the way they should have been.
But why? Why would he feel sad in his heart?
When he saw her get into the car of another man with his own eyes, when those men treated her respectfully just as if she was the noblest
princess in this world…
Why would he feel so nervous?
It felt just like a part of his heart was taken away suddenly.
And what’s left was a hole, an empty hole. Gushes of cold wind blew in and he just felt chilly all over his body.
He then turned back and began to walk spiritlessly. At this moment, his phone rang.
He picked up mechanically and over the phone, he could hear the angry snarling of his father, Michael Anderson.
“What’s going on? So they are just so shameless? Are they out of their mind?”
Only then did Steven come back to his senses. He calmed himself down and said, “Dad, this is a long story. I will tell you when I am back.”
…
The black Rolls-Royce sped down the highway in the early morning.
Inside the car, Zoe pressed her lips and smiled at the man sitting next to her.
Stared by her, Henry felt a little uncomfortable and gave a clear cough.
With that, he suddenly reached out and pushed her face over.
Zoe gave a chuckle.
“Mr. Han, thank you for helping me today! I’ll be sure to repay you when I get the chance.”
Henry’s brows knitted slightly and he turned his head to look at her, “What did you call me just now?”
Zoe’s smile faltered.
A touch of coldness crossed under Henry’s
eyes, “Mrs. Han, do you need me to teach you how to address your husband?”
Zoe fell silent.
She shook her head hurriedly, “No.”
“Well, call me now.”
Zoe was a bit embarrassed, ”Now? It’s quite embarrassing, isn’t it?”
Driving the car, Brian hurriedly said, “Ma’am, I’m actually deaf, I can’t hear you.”
Zoe fell silent again.
Henry gave a cold glance at him, and Brian immediately shut his mouth. In the meanwhile, the glass panel between them suddenly rose and separated them apart.
She felt even more flustered.
‘What’s that for? We just talk. It looks more like we are doing anything weird now.’
Come to think of it, she blushed instantly.
‘Bah! What are you even thinking, Zoe!’
