Zoe did not know how Quinn found her house.
She never told Quinn about her home address after such a long time because she did not want them to find out about Yelena.
However, she did not intentionally hide it from them.
She just knew very well that they would ask about who Yelena's father was when they learned about Yelena's existence. Even if she did not tell them who Yelena's father was, they would guess the truth. After that, it would become very troublesome. She just wanted to raise Yelena alone.
Yet, she still opened the door.
She was afraid that Quinn would consciously go against the law even though Quinn was the lawyer and would break open her door if she refused to open the door.
"Zoe, why are you avoiding me?" Quinn's face was flushed because of anger.
"No, I'm not." Zoe averted Quinn's gaze.
Zoe was not very good at lying, especially to the important people around her. She could not make up white lies.
"Why didn't you pick up my calls or read my WhatsApp messages if you're not avoiding me?"
Consequently, Zoe remained silent.
"Where is your daughter?" Quinn asked.
"When did I have a daughter…"
Zoe kept quiet under Quinn's gaze.
She then continued because of Quinn's gaze, saying, "She's at home."
"Let me go and see her."
"Aren't you going to ask me questions?" Zoe looked at Quinn.
"I'll ask you after I see your daughter." Quinn walked into the house.
At that time, Yelena was playing with toys in the living room.
She did not know why her mother prohibited her from going to kindergarten today.
That was fine, but her mother did not even let her go out.
How boring!
