Patrick brushed past Sean. "Hey." Sean stopped him. Patrick ignored Sean, feeling that he did not have to seek humiliation. When he was leaving, a person grabbed his body fiercely with one hand. Patrick furrowed his brows, and before he could resist, Sean pulled him away. "Hey! Are you out of your mind?" Patrick roared at Sean. While he was cursing, Patrick dragged him away. Cordy watched their backs. Sean would not grab the chance and beat up Patrick just because Patrick confessed his love for Cordy. Besides, she did not accept him. Of course, Cordy did not meddle in that either. Sean always had a sense of propriety. If Sean hit Patrick, then Patrick must have done something to deserve that. She returned to her room. Sitting on the sofa, she suddenly did not feel like moving. She was exhausted after such a long day, but she was still not sleepy. She recalled Patrick's confession just now. She would have had feelings regardless of the kind of attitude sh
However, Patrick could not stop drinking after he had started. Even though he was stubborn, he had to admit that he was slightly sad. After so many years, Cordy did not waver at all.John had turned into ashes. What was she still holding onto? Was she so cruel?Patrick became sadder as he dwelled on it, so he drank more. "Hey, drink less." Sean tried to stop Patrick from drinking so recklessly. "You're so odd. You asked me to drink just now, but now you stopped me from drinking. Sean, am I so detestable? Do you want to stand against me no matter what?" Patrick's eyes became slightly blurry, and he almost could not see the person before him. "I asked you to drink to ease your mood, but I didn’t ask you to drink so recklessly." Sean sounded aloof. "Stop drinking. It's almost time. Just go to bed." "Sean, I… Ah!" Patrick suddenly screamed as he felt his body being lifted all of a sudden. Sean had carried Patrick on his shoulders. This son of a bitch… Patrick was abou
The next day, Zoe quickly jumped out of bed when her alarm clock rang. She then turned it off for fear that she might wake Yelena up. She stretched her body before she got out of bed, and she did not dare to sleep a little longer for fear that she would doze off. After she woke up, she would habitually sit on the toilet bowl for a while with her phone to scroll through the latest news. When she clicked on her phone, she found an unread WhatsApp message. She often put the general group chats on silent mode. So, the messages that popped up were either people looking for her or it was a very important group message. She quickly clicked on it. When she opened it, she was stunned. Jay had sent her a voice message in the middle of the night. Was he out of his mind?When she looked at it carefully, she found something amiss. It was because she was the one who sent him a message, so he replied with a voice message. However, she remembered that she did not send him a voice me
Zoe was shocked. She wondered if he had eyes on his back. Why did he notice that she was stealing glances at him?"Come here. Let me tell you something about your script," Jay said. "Okay." Zoe hurriedly walked over. While watching the video replay of their rehearsal today, Jay was comparing their lines. He circled something on the script and paused at the place of her part before he said, "Your emotion here isn't enough, and your line wavers. You should study it well and be careful when you go onstage tomorrow." "Okay." Zoe nodded. Jay was a very attentive director. He could very accurately find the smallest flaw in acting. "Is there anything else?" Zoe asked. "No. Help me get Candice over," Jay uttered. "Hmm," Zoe answered, but she did not leave. "Is there anything else?" Jay fixed his gaze on the screen without looking at Zoe. "I didn't send the voice message last night," Zoe explained. After that, she panicked even more. If she claimed that she was not
Zoe did not know how Quinn had 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 m
The two of them walked into Zoe's bedroom. "Just ask me whatever you want to ask." Zoe did not want to keep it a secret any longer. She found it quite exhaustive to hide it from others. Coincidentally, the mass media exposed it, so she might as well let it all go to hell. "It's Jay's, right?" Quinn went straight to the point. Zoe was still slightly surprised. Although she knew that both Quinn and Cordy would be able to guess it, they did not seem to doubt that Yelena was Bob's child. "Did you hide because you gave birth to his child?" Quinn narrowed her eyes slightly. "No." Zoe immediately denied that. "I thought of leaving before I confirmed that I was pregnant because I was very sad at that time. I felt that North City hurt me too much.""Is Jay that kind of irresponsible person?" Quinn asked. "Didn't he try to keep you?" "Keep?" Zoe sneered. She waited for Jay for a day, but at last, he did not even call her. Forget it. It was just an accident. If it were
Zoe was speechless.Jay's name just had to keep popping up.Was she unable to survive without him?If Jay really wanted to take responsibility, he would already have done so. He did not need to bury his head in the sand and pretend he did not know anything."He won't take responsibility for this. It's that simple." Zoe did not want to explain any further.It would just be a waste of breath.Quinn wanted to say more but someone suddenly knocked on the door.Clara opened the door and poked her head in. "Zoe, Jay is here."Zoe was stunned.The look on Quinn's eyes clearly said, 'I told you so. I know Jay Parker isn't like what you described him to be.'"What are you doing just standing there? Go out and discuss with Jay how to deal with the news," Quinn urged.Zoe pursed her lips.She eventually walked out of the room with Quinn.Jay was carrying Yelena in the living room.Yelena wrapped herself around Jay as she said, "Daddy, are you here to bring me out to play? But Mommy
A classic doting father, no doubt.Jay finally managed to put Yelena down and then said to Zoe, "I came here to discuss with you how we should deal with news about Yelena.""When did you find out about her?" Zoe went straight to the point.If she still could see how close Yelena and Jay were, she would truly be foolish."The night when you were drunk and I sent you home," Jay said."Did you do a DNA test?" Zoe's face fell."I didn't." Zoe raised her brows."There's no need to," Jay added."You're so sure she's yours?" Zoe smirked."I'm not sure, but… I don't care even if she's not," Jay said.Zoe stared at him."Let's discuss the solution to the problem." Jay suddenly changed the topic.Zoe agreed that they should just cut to the chase.They sat on the couch. Clara carried Yelena to her room to play, giving them the space they needed."We have three possible solutions. One, deny that Yelena is your biological daughter. You can say that she is your relative's or friend
