Jay's eyes were obviously leveled at the journalists before them, but he also reached out to her right then and gave her hand a squeeze.
His hand was so obviously warm, and Zoe suddenly relaxed considerably in an instant—not because Jay offered her a sense of security, or that she was convinced Jay could handle this perfectly, but she just felt that she could take it, however things would turn out.
As long as Jay was at her side, even an apocalypse did not seem that serious.
Well, she did not even mind admitting now that she had fallen in love with Jay again, to the point that she lost her sense of self.
He had hurt her so grievously, and she swore never to love him again.
And yet, once he changed, all her defenses were broken down.
Honestly, Jay was going to ruin her life. If the day came when he suddenly stopped loving her, she had only her own bad luck to blame.
But now, she could not care less—she wanted to run the distance with him.
And so she could not help squeezing Jay's hand in turn at that very moment, a gesture to tell him that she trusted him.
Jay's lips curled up into a smile, and he slowly said, "If everyone can settle down for a moment. Neither Zoe nor myself can speak if you keep barraging us endlessly."
That was too much information to digest.
It was not just the journalists—even Zoe did not fully understand what just happened.
The netizens watching the livestream were stunned too, and the comments that came in endlessly seemed to pause right then and stayed blank for a while.
"I've loved Zoe for years," Jay explained. "However, we couldn't be together because there had been too many misunderstandings between us. I would rather not have wasted the public's time on our personal affairs, but since everyone is interested, I shall reveal everything in my past and enlighten Zoe about it too."
With that, he turned toward Zoe.
