Zoe did not react for a while after Jay spoke.
It was because Zoe just raised a polite suggestion casually. However, he took it seriously.
Jay lowered his eyes and was about to speak.
"I'll go and run the bath for you." Zoe got out of bed.
She brushed past him and went to the bathroom outside to run him a bath.
After that, she returned to her bedroom to find men's pajamas and shorts for him.
Bob had not left his clothes there, because he had never spent the night there.
She felt that he might want to stay the night there that night, so she bought him matching pajamas when she bought the sling dress, as well as two pairs of shorts for him.
Zoe came out and said to Jay, "Just put on the pajamas for the time being."
"Thank you."
After she gave him the clothes, she brushed past him and then entered her bedroom.
Jay watched as she squatted and cleaned up Bob's vomit.
She grew up in Levine Manor and led a spoiled life. She never did any household chores, let alone cooking...
He wondered if it was the environment that produced such a vast change in her or if it was Bob who changed her...
Jay turned around and walked away.
When Zoe looked over because she felt that he was looking at her, she saw his cold back.
She sneered.
Jay should have never imagined that she would become that kind of person one day, with her being quite willful when she was still at Levine Manor.
After Zoe cleaned up the mess, she went and grabbed a hot towel to wipe Bob's face and hands. She even helped him take off his shoes and coat so he would feel more comfortable.
After that, she returned to the bathroom and accidentally saw her reflection in the mirror. She found that she was still wearing that seductive sling dress.
