Ruby naturally brought the contract, though Jay did not even read a single page before pushing it to Zoe. "Your call."Zoe was left gritting her teeth—it was such a cheap move on his part! To anyone else, this would look as if he respected her, even spoiled her.But he was obviously trying to paint her as the villain!Still, Zoe restrained herself and opened the contract, reading every clause carefully… until her eyes sparkled when she reached the part of monetary rewards.It really was eight figures… she was going to be rich overnight even if she had to split it with Jay! And she was unaffiliated, so she did not have to pay anyone aside from the tax people, and she would still keep a lot.She would be able to afford a house immediately! And with her interested, there was just no way she would say no."What do you think, Ms. York?" Ruby asked politely. "We can amend any clauses you find inappropriate. My lawyer is waiting downstairs."Ruby was certainly sincere about this,

Jay nodded, seemingly unconcerned. "Sure."Zoe in turn feigned nonchalance, since she was not the one losing out in their 'marriage' anyway."Have you read the program schedule?" Jay suddenly reminded her. "What schedule? This one?" Zoe glanced at the document in front of her—she was too preoccupied with the contract to check the specifics of the schedule."Take a look," Jay said.Zoe picked it up and read it seriously, but the program scheduling was still reasonable. Unlike other reality shows, there were no tasks or missions involved, and no survival skills needed—it was nothing more than a trip for couples, a relatively conscientious variety show in that sense.As such, Zoe was not at all affected when she was done reading."That's it?" Jay asked her. "What's the issue?" Zoe asked, perplexed.Jay said begrudgingly, "Filming starts the day after tomorrow. They'll be bringing cameras when they come to interview us.""So?" Zoe was still mystified—they could come all they wa

Yelena had been sleeping together with her daddy every night since they moved in.But if her mommy slept with her daddy, where was she supposed to sleep? She loved her mommy, but she did not want her mommy to steal her daddy."You're old enough to sleep alone," Zoe replied in annoyance—since when did Yelena become so reliant on Jay? Jay had just spent days with Yelena, and she was totally on his side already."But you're older than me, Mommy. You should sleep alone more than I do," Yelena argued with righteous indignation.Zoe was actually speechless, while Jay chuckled subtly nearby, having zero intentions to defend Zoe.It was Clara who quickly told Yelena, "How could you argue with your mommy about rooms, Yelena? You can sleep with me if you want. It's been a while since we slept together, and I'm beginning to miss you.""But…" Yelena was left in a dilemma. "I really like sleeping with Daddy.""Then what about me?" Clara pressed, though it was just teasing at that point.

Zoe did not refuse—what could she do since she had already agreed to it?!"Then I'm getting in bed," Zoe said, adding before she did, "I've taken a bath, and my clothes are fresh."Jay was taken aback, but soon realized that Zoe was aware of his hygienic tendencies and was worried he would hate it. But he would never hate her, whenever or wherever. He did not have the courage to say it, however.Soon, Zoe lay down on the very edge of the bed and slept there, reluctant to have any body contact with Jay.Jay did not move closer either, and the space between them could fit three Yelenas.Silence ensued, and even though it was soon very late, neither fell asleep.The last time they shared a bed was that one time.Jay gulped—he decided that he must not dwell on it and gently turned around to look at Zoe.They had been keeping their backs to one another, but he stared at her back quietly anyway.The silhouette of her form was especially clear under the soft lights kept on in the

Two days later, the production crew arrived for the prelude interview at Jay's apartment.Zoe had Clara leave the house with Yelena, since she was not eager to let her daughter make a public appearance just yet. The production crew was also ethical enough to censor Yelena's face during the occasional glimpse of her in the camera.The host asked, "Who usually cooks at home?""Neither," Zoe replied. "Jay is busier, and I can't cook. Moreover, we don't stay home that much, let alone cook."The host could not help grinning, surprised that her response was so candid—the other couples tended to keep up appearances, making themselves appear more affectionate for the sake of appearances.He then asked, "Who's usually taking care of the child?" "Jay does when he's at home. I do it when he's not around," Zoe replied.Once again, it was no lie—ever since Yelena and Zoe moved in, Yelena actually spent more time with Jay than even Clara."What do you think of your better half?" the host

Their first destination was a coastal city.It turned out that there were a total of five couples for this season of Journey of Love, and everyone would only gather once they arrived at the destination.Naturally, the production crew had kept everything under wraps, and none of the participants knew who the others were until they actually met.That was why Zoe only found out that Cora and Bob were taking part as well after she actually saw them.They certainly run into each other too often, but she did not let anything on since they were in front of the cameras. Cora naturally hated Zoe so much Zoe thought she would kill her the instant they met, but somehow she acted like they were close. "Hey, Zoe! What a surprise, you and Uncle Jay were taking part too?"Zeo naturally played along. "Yeah, I'm surprised too. The production crew's been keeping everything from us, so I didn't know who the others were."They appeared almost intimate, while Bob and Jay shared a smile of tacit und

Jay leaned in to kiss Zoe on the lips again before quietly leaving, content.He then spent three long hours making one soup and three dishes, and while it did not look good, Zoe woke up when she smelled the fragrant aroma.She was too hungry and had not eaten for almost a day.As she sat up, Jay asked her, "You're up?""Yeah," Zoe replied, stretching. "Are you done?""Yeah. See if you like it."Zoe sat in front of the dining table, staring at the food that hardly looked appetizing."Let's make do for now. I'll visit the other couples tomorrow and learn from the best." Jay clearly saw Zoe's look of aversion. Zoe, however, said nothing and took the knife and fork from Jay to start eating.She might have been really hungry, since it did not taste as bad as she thought."How is it?" Jay asked nervously."It's okay." Zoe did not hold back her praise."That's good," Jay replied, heaving a sigh of relief. "Thanks, darling," Zoe suddenly said."It's my honor to be praised by my

Zoe did not sleep well because she was really not used to Jay hugging her in her sleep, and so firmly at that.She could even feel his breath spraying over her nape. It was hot, and it tickled.Frustratingly, he was sleeping perfectly fine and kept holding her the entire night without moving, while she listened to his breathing assume a regular rhythm.Zoe was a little miserable at that.She had been worried that Jay would be the one to expose them, since he had always been distant to her. In fact, she was scared that he would push her away when she hugged him earlier.To think that he would get into character more than she did… Sighing to herself, she did her best to coax herself to sleep.She was naturally unaware that the man feigning sleep behind her opened his eyes just then and tightened his hold further.-The next day, Zoe was jolted awake by her alarm clock.They were supposed to go out to sea at seven, and she therefore had to wake up at six to put on makeup for
