A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 865

Zoe would always chase after him, calling him ‘Old Mister’ when he was clearly only a few years older than she was.

Initially, he felt nothing for Zoe.

To be accurate, in such a new environment, he was pretty much cold toward anyone.

He did not know how to act around them, and he was very careful to stay within boundaries and know his place, causing as little trouble to others as much as he could.

She had boundless energy when she was young. No matter what he was doing, she would never fail to run over and butt in.

When he was doing his homework, she would sprawl at his feet and play by herself.

When he was practicing at the piano, she would sit next to him and listen intently. She would even sing a few lines in unclear words and imperfect pitch.

When he was sleeping, she would sometimes climb into his bed and make him read her bedtime stories.

Whatever he did, she would be following behind him.

She would either chatter on incessantly or wait quietly by his side.
