Love's Change of Heart

Daniel drove Zoe to a street filled with stores that sold Chiojan cuisine.

Zoe was already full from lunch, but seeing all the food here made her crave more.

She hadn't had a proper meal since yesterday on the plane.

Her appetite that had stayed dormant in her memory was instantly awakened.

She ate from one end of the street to the other, and even packed some food to bring back to the hotel.

Daniel silently followed behind her and paid for the food the whole time.

Zoe initially wanted to refuse, but she thought that it would be more convenient for Daniel to communicate with the vendors. And so, she didn't say anything and silently noted down how much money she spent, planning to give it to him when they returned to the hotel.

After leaving the food street, Daniel asked her, "Are you full?"

Zoe nodded. "Yup."

She was feeling more than full. She couldn't eat anymore.

Daniel asked again, "Do you want to go back to the hotel or continue shopping?"

Zoe held up the food in front of her. "It's not convenient to carry these. I want to go back, please."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the hotel.

Zoe quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door, saying, "Thank you for today. I'll go first. You don't have to—"

"9.00AM tomorrow. I'll come to pick you up."

Daniel had already driven away before Zoe could refuse.

The woman then stood at the entrance of the hotel with her mouth half-opened. However, the rest of her words couldn't come out.

Was Daniel always such a clear-cut person?

After standing still for a few seconds, Zoe turned around and walked inside.

She put the things she brought back in the refrigerator, then lay on the bed and called Leanna, feeling guilty. "Leanna, I'm sorry. I didn't find a chance during the meal..."

Leanna smiled and reassured her, "It's okay. How was your day over there?"

Before this, she was eager to confirm the results of the paternity test because she could clearly feel that Louis had always lived under the shadow of Jethro. Even though Louis didn't say anything, Leanna knew how much pain he was going through.

But now, he should have moved on. The darkness in his heart seemed to be slowly dissipating after being illuminated by a beam of light. He was no longer clinging to things that didn't serve him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken a step toward Daphne.

Thinking about this, Zoe sighed, "Don't even bring it up. As soon as I arrived at your father's company today, I ran into Daniel. And..."

Zoe repeated the words William said at the dinner table to Leanna.

She rolled on the bed. "Leanna, can you please tell your father that I'm fine on my own? I don't need Daniel to accompany me."

Leanna raised an eyebrow ever so slightly. "Hmm... I don't think it will work. As an elder, my father is responsible for your safety, especially since you're a woman going to such a faraway place."

Zoe sighed helplessly. "By the way, I'll transfer the money to you later. Can you help me transfer it to Daniel? I don't want to add him to my contact list. It's troublesome to add him only to delete him after that."

"Sure, how much is it?"

After Zoe told Leanna a number, Zoe put her phone on speaker and calculated the exchange rate to dollars to transfer it to Leanna.

Leanna mentioned, "Actually, I don't think he will accept the money."

Zoe fell silent for a moment before saying, "It doesn't matter. If he doesn't accept it, then forget it. I've already given it to him."

"I'll give it a try."

After chatting with Leanna for a few more minutes, Zoe lay back on the bed and soon felt sleepy.
