Jay could not hold back an expletive right then, "Am I f*cking dead to you, Zoe?!"
He was on the verge of getting a stroke, and he really wanted to get into fisticuffs with Bob right then!
Zoe simply beamed at him. "All I wanted to say was that Bob and I are clean. Nothing happened even when we were dating."
"So you're regretting that now?" Jay growled through his teeth.
"That's not the point," Zoe replied, speechless.
"I already know that anyway." Jay was certainly smart enough to not miss that.
"You knew?"
No way! She had been so close with Bob at the time that anyone would be skeptical!
"When we filmed the last episode of Journey of Love, during that heart-to-heart we had with the director, you revealed that your first time was with me."
"And you believe that?" Zoe asked.
"I did." Jay nodded.
Like he said, he knew Zoe well enough—she would never lie.
However, he still had to admit that he had felt pleased for a long while when he found out.
He was fine with being labeled old-fashioned, but he would never have held it against her even if she did it with Bob anyway.
He would love her as he did from the start.
Still, to find out that they were clean…
Fine, he could admit that men were innately possessive, and he was no exception.
