Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 836 Don't Say Anything Stupid Later

Daniel's legs were starting to feel sore, having stood outside for an hour.

It wasn't that Zoe kicked him out, but when he expressed his desire to come over for dinner, Zoe said she couldn't do anything about it and told him to figure it out himself.

He knew Leanna well enough to know that she would eventually go soft if he kept standing there despite Aidan's refusal to let him in.

However, the price he paid was a bit too high.

When Zoe came out and saw him still standing there, she asked in surprise, "You didn't go back?"

"No," Daniel replied, stumping Zoe. "You continue to stand then. I'm going over."

Daniel didn't say anything; he just sighed.

Upon arriving at Leanna's doorstep, Zoe looked back at him and said, "Or, if you're tired of standing, you can go into my apartment for a while? I'm sure you know why Nana didn't invite you. It won't make a difference no matter how long you wait."

Daniel said, "It's fine. You go in."

After saying okay, Zoe pressed the doorbell, and Leanna answered the door.

Daniel met her gaze and smiled friendly.

Leanna forced a smile and then closed the door.

After entering, Leanna whispered, "What's going on? Does he want to come into my apartment or go to yours?"

Zoe shrugged and snuck a glance at Louis sitting on the couch. "I think he might have the same purpose as us."

It was actually a simple matter. Daniel was William's adopted son and Elijah's friend, and the incorrect paternity test report was caused by Elijah.

He was trying his best to salvage the situation, partly out of responsibility and obligation and partly because the mistake was caused by Elijah. Only by making Louis let go of his resentment and accept the truth would William not blame Elijah.

Feeling somewhat troubled, Leanna said, "Even so, he can't keep waiting there forever…"

At that, Zoe leaned in and whispered, "So what's Louis' attitude to it now?"

Leanna smiled awkwardly. "He was arguing with Aidan just a moment ago."

They argued? Zoe gasped. No, I've come late. I can't believe I missed such an exciting scene!

They whispered to each other for a while, and when Louis turned his head, they immediately averted their gazes.

Leanna went into the kitchen, and Zoe went over. After looking around, she asked with curiosity, "Did Daphne not come, Louis?"

Louis hummed a reply and said, "She said she has to fly out of town for an event tonight."

Zoe was about to say something else when Louis interrupted, "Are you not going to let him in?"

Zoe was taken aback. "Me?"

"Do you expect it to be me then?" Aidan argued indifferently.

Zoe was somewhat stumped. Didn't Nana just say they were arguing? Why are they now targeting me together? Is it because I look easy to bully?

Zoe paused for a moment, glanced at Louis' face, and tentatively said, "I'll let him in then?"

"If you want," Louis replied plainly.

Instantly, Zoe got up, went to open the door, and said to the person outside, "Come in."

While Daniel was still reeling in stupefaction, Zoe grabbed his arm and leaned in close, whispering, "Louis let you in. Don't say anything stupid later."

Daniel forgot to breathe for a moment when she suddenly leaned so close to him. He looked down at her. Her eyelashes were long, and they trembled slightly as she spoke.

"What do you think about what I told you? Have you considered it?" Daniel asked.

"Sorry?" His sudden change of topic stunned Zoe. Where did this topic come from all of a sudden?

Daniel spoke slowly. "About getting married."

Zoe fell silent for a moment before letting him go and immediately went to close the door. "I think it's best if you just stay outside."

At that, Daniel reached out to stop the door and squeezed in, saying, "Thank you."

Zoe was at a loss for words. Thank you my a*s!

Upon arriving in the living room, Daniel greeted Aidan and Louis casually.

Although everything seemed normal, Zoe sensed an invisible pressure.

With that, she quickly ran to the kitchen to help Leanna.

Leanna had just heard about Louis letting Daniel in, and now she was holding her breath, quietly listening to the commotion outside.

Although Louis letting Daniel in shifted the focus onto Zoe, no matter what, the fact that he still spoke up first despite knowing about Daniel's relationship with William indicated that he didn't reject this matter as much as they had imagined.

After a short silence, Daniel found a topic. "I heard you're involved in the New Coast project, President Pearson."
