Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 185

Zoe was having a conversation with herself in her head about Aiden’s attitude. All of a sudden, the door of the neighboring unit opened.

Noticing this, she closed the door behind her as fast as possible without even thinking. Then, she looked at Daniel with a smile.

He took a glance at the closed door, then looked at her again. “I kinda heard a conversation going on at your unit earlier. Do you have a visitor?”

Zoe tried to play dumb about it. “No. Maybe it was from the TV show Nana was watching. You must have mistaken it as a conversation.”

She did not know if Daniel bought it or not. When he was about to go back to his unit, he paused and looked at her again. “Why are you standing here, then? Why don’t you get in?”

“Ah…” she hurriedly answered, “Didn’t you invite me to have those soon-to-be expired canned foods with you? I’m feeling kind of hungry right now. So, I’m hoping that I could still take up that offer now.”

Daniel remained silent for a few seconds.

Zoe felt that she was a total genius because she couldn’t find anything wrong with this excuse.

Before Daniel could react, she was already standing right in front of him. “I’ve never eaten canned foods before. I believe that they must be really delicious for you to be so obsessed with them. So, I’m very excited to try them out.”

Daniel put his hand on his mouth and coughed. “Well.*e in then.”

In the kitchen, he was standing in front of the refrigerator with its door opened. He looked inside the fridge and felt a little panicked. He thought to himself. What a lousy excuse.

After seeing him standing still over there for quite a long time, Zoe asked with concern, “What’s the matter? Do you need my help?”

Daniel then closed the refrigerator. “I just finished the canned foods. Let’s order takeout instead.”

Zoe blinked. “Okay.”

Seeing her answer without hesitation, he picked up the phone. “What do you want to eat?”

“I’m fine with anything.”

Zoe was totally fine with being considered as shameless by Daniel.

Since she could not really go back to Leanna’s house now, she would rather stay at Daniel’s than waiting on the cold floor outside the house.

After ordering takeout, Daniel passed Zoe a glass of water. “Would you like to invite your friend over?”

Zoe then answered, “She’s on diet now. So, she won’t be eating at night. Let’s just eat without her.”

He smiled gently and sat beside her without speaking.

Zoe was holding the glass and she stared at him a couple of times. Since Daniel and Elijah were friends to each other, she felt the need to prevent Daniel from finding out that Aiden was here with Leanna now. No matter what, she had to prevent that. Otherwise, even if nothing really happened between Leanna and Aiden, Elijah might still have the wrong idea about that.
