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
"Since you're willing to sacrifice yourself to suppress the news, why don't you expose another scandal of your own like the last time and help cover up my news?" Zoe said coldly.Quinn thought she must have heard Zoe wrongly.Wasn't that being too harsh on Jay?!How could Zoe be capable of something like that? This woman had no compassion whatsoever.Jay had already compromised so much, yet she was still not satisfied.Who did she think she was?! Quinn scolded Zoe in her heart countless times over, but on account of Zoe being her good friend, she could not bring herself to scold Zoe outright.She was that… biased.She simply looked at Jay turning quiet.Quinn felt rather nervous as she chanted in her heart for Jay not to agree to Zoe's request.Otherwise, it would be harder for him to pursue Zoe.She saw this as the golden opportunity to tie the two of them together, never to be parted again.Everyone could see how much importance Zoe placed on her career in showbiz."N
Thankfully, Zoe did not remain stubborn.Sometimes, Zoe's stubbornness made her capable of doing anything."Sure." Jay nodded."Firstly, the marriage is fake and just for the media. After the dust settles, we will get a divorce."Jay pursed his lips and nodded.He did not dare to disagree with her request.If he did not, she would probably reject his solution.The only thing he could do was to seize the chance to spend more time with her during this period."Secondly, even after we get a marriage certificate, we will not stay together. You will stay at your place and I'll continue staying…""No way." Jay rejected her outright.Zoe stared at him."After announcing that we secretly got married, the media will surely stalk us. If they realize that we aren't staying together, what would they make of it? That we divorced? Or that we're faking it?""I won't do anything to you," Jay said solemnly. "Even though we'll be in the same house, we'll sleep separately.""Of course that g
After they registered their marriage and received their marriage certificate, the three of them returned to Quinn's car.Quinn turned out to be the happiest of the three of them—at least on the surface.A smile hung on her lips as she asked, "Where are you two newly-weds planning to go? Are you going back?" Zoe glared at Quinn.She was not the one who got married. What was she so excited about? "Let's return to Zoe's apartment since Yelena is still there. She can take the chance to pack her bag…" Jay's voice gradually faded away.He was clearly scared that Zoe might get angry. And she was quite angry.Somehow, she could not shake the feeling that she had been taken for a fool. Yet, upon deeper thought, what could Jay get from fooling her? He was just trying to help her solve her problem.They drove back to Zoe's apartment.Yelena was slightly miffed.Because they did not tell her before heading out, she thought that her daddy had abandoned her, and she was sobbing mis
