Chapter 185 Way Too Temperamental Zoe was having a conversation with herself in her head about Aiden’s attitude. All of a sudden, the door of the neighboring unit opened. Noticing this, she closed the door behind her as fast as possible without even thinking.
Then, she looked at Daniel with a smile. He took a glance at the closed door, then looked at her again.
"I kinda heard a conversation going on at your unit earlier.
Do you have a visitor?" Zoe tried to play dumb about it.
“No.
Maybe it was from the TV show Nana was watching.
You must have mistaken it as a conversation." She did not know if Daniel bought it or not.
When he was about to go back to his unit, he paused and looked at her again.
"Why are you standing here, then? Why don't you get in?” “Ah…” she hurriedly answered, “Didn’t you invite me to have those soon-to-be expired canned foods with you? I'm feeling kind of hungry right now.
So, I’m hoping that I could still take up that offer now.” Daniel remained silent for a few seconds. Zoe felt that she was a total genius because she couldn't find anything wrong with this excuse. Before Daniel could react, she was already standing right in front of him.
“I’ve never eaten canned foods before.
I believe that they must be really delicious for you to be so obsessed with them.
So, I’m very excited to try them out." Daniel put his hand on his mouth and coughed.
"Well..come in then." In the kitchen, he was standing in front of the refrigerator with its door opened.
He looked inside the fridge and felt a little panicked.
He thought to himself.
What a lousy excuse. After seeing him standing still over there for quite a long time, Zoe asked with concern, “What’s the matter? Do you need my help?" Daniel then closed the refrigerator.
“I just finished the canned foods.
Let’s order takeout instead.”
Zoe blinked.
"Okay." Seeing her answer without hesitation, he picked up the phone.
"What do you want to eat?" "I’m fine with anything." Zoe was totally fine with being considered as shameless by Daniel.
Since she could not really go back to Leanna’s house now, she would rather stay at Daniel’s than waiting on the cold floor outside the house. After ordering takeout, Daniel passed Zoe a glass of water.
"Would you like to invite your friend over?" Zoe then answered, “She’s on diet now.
So, she won’t be eating at night.
Let’s just eat without her." He smiled gently and sat beside her without speaking. Zoe was holding the glass and she stared at him a couple of times.
Since Daniel and Elijah were friends to each other, she felt the need to prevent Daniel from finding out that Aiden was here with Leanna now.
No matter what, she had to prevent that.
Otherwise, even if nothing really happened between Leanna and Aiden, Elijah might still have the wrong idea about that.
Sometimes, the world just liked to mess with us.
The more you wish to get something, the harder it will be for you to get it.
But the moment you give up on that something, you’ll just get it effortlessly and it would be hard to get rid of it even if you tried real hard. Aiden raised his brows slightly.
"Are you stunned by my appearance?" Hearing that, Leanna quickly retracted her thoughts, slapped away the hand before her, and said coldly, “Can you please leave now?" Aiden chuckled.
"You're so temperamental." Leanna stayed silent at that remark. He did not take her words seriously.
It could even be said that he didn't care about them at all. Then, he slowly asked, “What do you want to eat tomorrow? I will bring it for you." Staring at him, Leanna asked thoughtfully, "May I know what you have been up to lately?" Aiden countered, "Is it not obvious enough?" "Please make it clear, President Pearson." "After some thought, I decided to give you one last chance." Leanna was speechless. She thought to herself in a sarcastic way.
Yeah, yeah.
I must really thank God for that chance. Leanna asked, "Didn't you say I have no more chances?” Aiden gave a hum.
“So, it’s a rare opportunity.
You should cherish it." Leanna tried to lose herself, but she had had enough and could not stand it anymore.
When she was about to yell at him, he continued, “However, Oscar said that actions speak louder than words.
So, I have to do something to prove that I'm giving you another chance.” Leanna twitched her lips and thought to herself.
"Oscar, right? I will remember him." "President Pearson, you know what? I think you really shouldn’t be listening to others on this kind of matter.
You must follow your heart.
