Zoe promptly tapped on the article, which briefly described their family of three going out on a playdate.There were some exaggerated parts here and there but nothing malicious.She then scrolled through the comments.[Can I just say that this is so sweet it hurts? I'm so jealous…][Jay Parker usually looks so reserved and aloof, but there's no hiding it when you're in love.][How could anyone look that good? They really deserve each other.][Oh, I think I believe in love again now…][This public display of affection caught me off guard, but I approve!]Zoe scrolled through a huge portion of the comments, but most of them were nice.At least there was nothing like 'hurting public morals', 'society these days', or 'family unfriendly'.She decided to be more careful when they were out in public next time around.However, she realized that it was not even her fault after some thought—it was clearly Jay's."So? I take it that you've seen it?" Cordy teased from the other end.

Zoe quickly washed up and got changed before leaving the house with Jay.He brought her some low-fat food, and she asked worriedly, "Are we really not going to affect recording progress?"She was really afraid of getting scandalized, since she still wanted to stay in showbiz."We'll be fine. Don't worry.""Alright," Zoe said, telling herself to trust Jay as well.He had never broken a promise before, after all.-Later, Zoe finally found out how Jay could be so direct. The second episode was to be filmed at a huge farm situated up in the mountains. Aside from organic and natural crops, there was also a ranch for livestock.They were supposed to ride a land vehicle through a rugged mountain path, but Zoe and Jay went there on a helicopter. As such, while traveling on land would have taken them six hours, they arrived in just two hours, saving them a total of four hours. What was more, two of the other couples were still on the way there when they arrived, and one of them was

The lettuce was certainly heavy, but Zoe started looking for the next vegetable on the inventory.She had never seen actual eggplants in farms before, but she at least knew that they were purple.It was too distinct a trait, so she found them immediately and plucked two.And then, it was the bell peppers… "Bell peppers, so peppers that look like bells? I guess I just have to find something similar… Okay, got it!"Zoe started to get a little excited just then.She suddenly wanted to praise herself for her intelligence—she never felt as smart as this!Once she was done with the bell peppers, she started to look for giant cabbages."This one should be easy. Since it's 'giant', I just have to find the biggest vegetable in the farm," Zoe said, though she had to move to another part of the farm to pull out the cabbage.With that in the basket, she moved on to the spring onion, and found it yet again according to a hunch.But what was a cilantro? Zoe was left staring at the word.

Zoe knew it—she had been celebrating too early.Jay's upbringing was even more refined than hers, and he would never know his vegetables."You don't know?" she asked nonetheless, refusing to give in."Suh-laan-trow," Jay suddenly replied."Not 'chill-laan-trow??" Zoe exclaimed.Jay smiled visibly and adoringly just then. "Pretty sure it isn't.""Are you sure?""Yep.""You're sure I won't end up on a clip where I'm flamed for being an insult to mandatory schooling?"Jay's smile broadened. "You're being paranoid. Not many would use 'cilantro' anyway—you can check the live comments when the episode is broadcasted too. I bet you that eight percent of average netizens won't even spell it right.""That makes me a little more confident, but do you actually know what it is?" Zoe asked. "I'm more concerned about not getting ingredients for dinner than being flamed.""Actually, cilantro is another name for parsley," Jay explained. "Oh, is that what it is?!" Zoe exclaimed in surprise

Cora said, "Me too."But in reality, she knew all her vegetables.She was the one who lived with Clara as a child and went through all manner of sufferings, from washing clothes by hand to cooking.It hurt her to think of her painful childhood in contrast to Zoe's.However, she forced herself not to show it.Nonetheless, as they strode along the farm together, they were startled to find something dashing through the fields.It was a huge black dog, and it was running straight for them!"Argh!"Both Zoe and Cora screamed—what was that thing doing there?! And it had a beastly look on its face, like it was going to bite someone!Both Zoe and Cora felt as if their souls left them.The production crew also reacted too late—before they could jump in, the dog had already leaped toward Zoe and Cora, knocking them to the ground!"Help!!!" Cora shrieked as the dog towered over her.Zoe was on the ground as well, but the dog obviously was not aiming for her.Just as it was to bring

Even though Jay tried to reach them as fast as he could, he was still the last to arrive—both Zoe and Cora had already gotten up off the ground. Bob carried Cora away, while one of the female staff helped Zoe walk.They had to get checked and get a vaccination shot for rabies.Filming was probably going to be delayed, given the situation."Zoe," Jay called out as he rushed toward her, sweating buckets. "Were you hurt? Where?""Here." Zoe simply showed him her hand instead of hiding it—there were clear bite marks on her fair skin, cutting skin and drawing blood and leaving some bruising around it.Jay's heart could get numb from the pain just then. "Does it hurt?""Yeah." Zoe nodded, appearing a little upset just then."I'm sorry," Jay apologized."It's not your fault.""If I'd stayed with you…""It would break my heart if it bit you too," Zoe said bluntly.Jay stared at Zoe, his eyes a little red as he quietly nodded.He could not carry Zoe like Bob did with his crippled

Neither Zoe nor Cora could stop themselves from crying out loud.However, while Jay was holding Zoe's hand firmly as if he would rather be the one hurting, Bob was staring at their direction too when he heard Zoe's cry.In fact, his eyes were still fixed on Zoe even though he was standing beside Cora, who kept crying out from the pain.Eventually, she had enough and called out to him quietly, "Bob."Bob turned toward her and asked in concern, "Does it hurt? Zoe was screaming murder there."Cora did not answer, but her gaze darkened further.-After Cora and Zoe's bite wounds were disinfected and bandaged, they were given a rabies shot and admitted for further observation just in case.If nothing happened, they could return to North City, where they would have another shot to complete the vaccination.Both Zoe and Cora were staying in VVIP wards, and they did not have to worry about the presence of intruders.However, there seemed to be distance between Bob and Cora even thoug

Cora's pupils dilated as she stared at Bob in disbelief. He actually wanted to break up with her? What did the years she spent with him amounted to?!"I have done wrong by you, so let's just end it here before we get married," Bob said then. "I'll explain everything to our parents about my reasons, and I'll do any PR work necessary to help you get through any difficulties you have at work.""Are you really doing this to me, Bob?!" Cora's eyes were red, and she could not stop her tears no matter what she tried.Bob hung his head. "I don't know how to make it up to you, just as I can't lie to you that I don't love Zoe anymore. All the mistakes in the past were my fault, and you can do whatever you want—I'll try to guarantee your satisfaction as much as I can.""What do you take me for! Did you think I dated you because I wanted something from you? How could you be so cruel, Bob?!"Bob simply stayed silent, because he genuinely had no words to assure Cora when he dated her just bec
