On her way to the coffee shop Zachary texted her, Joey thought about a lot of things.

She surmised that Yvonne wasn't exactly into Zachary. It was just an excuse for her to extend the Fulhams' influence.

Once she sat down by the specific table, Joey asked solemnly, "What's so serious that we need to meet in person?"

Zachary had the waiter bring her a glass of warm milk. "You look tired. Why? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Joey was still trying to guess what Zachary was about to tell her. She nodded reflexively to Zachary's query, but she quickly realized her mistake.

"Can we cut to the chase? I'm busy."

"Just because you're busy doesn't mean you should neglect your rest." Zachary still hadn't figured out a way to broach the subject.

Joey's face darkened. "Spill it out already."

Zachary took a sip of the coffee. "Henry told me that you were beside yourself today. You might have gotten the wrong idea when you heard Yvonne's voice during our phone call last night."

    Joey couldn't care less what Henry and Hanson were talking about. She returned to her office, gave Stacy a few instructions, and fell asleep quickly on the couch.Outside, Henry and Hanson went to a secluded spot. Then, Henry gave Hanson a mirthless smile."Mr. Fulham, Ms. Ziegler claimed so magnanimously that she came to apologize to Ms. Linton, yet she hasn't done anything of the sort."The sarcasm in Henry's voice was apparent.Hanson's face darkened. "Why? Is giving gifts the only way to show sincerity now?""No. I just think that if Ms. Ziegler is truly here to apologize, she'll do everything to reach her goal, instead of not picking up your call."What do you think she's doing when she's out of your reach?" Henry folded his arms across his chest and sneered.Hanson could tell that Henry knew something he didn't. He approached Henry and asked, "What are you getting at?""On Mr. Gray's behalf, let me tell you this. It'd be great if Ms. Ziegler truly came here to apologize.

    The next day, as soon as Yvonne arrived at the hospital, Hanson got out of his car.Earlier this morning, Yvonne had said that she was seeing a friend, instead of visiting the library. She had also told him not to worry.Hanson wasn't planning to stalk his younger sister, but his body acted before he could stop himself.As he followed behind Yvonne, more and more questions appeared in Hanson's mind.Yvonne was new to Eldeville. How come she had already made an important friend? She went to a hotel to retrieve the breakfast she ordered in the morning.Suffice to say, Yvonne held her friend very dearly.Hanson followed Yvonne into the hospital. When she disappeared into Ward 602, Hanson went to the counter to make a query."Hi, has Ward 602's medical bill been settled? My sister said the patient in this ward hadn't paid yet and asked me to help."However, I'm not sure if I got the right number. Can you check for me?" asked Hanson sincerely before the payment counter.The doctor

    While her intentions were good, Hanson knew that Zachary was not easy to persuade.In some aspects, Joey and Zachary had very similar personalities. Once they decided on something, they wouldn't easily change their minds."You're too naive. Zachary's misunderstandings about you regarding Uncle Brook's actions can't be easily erased."Instead of approaching him, you might as well talk to Joey." Hanson gently stroked Yvonne's hair.Thinking about Yvonne's efforts to resolve the misunderstanding with Joey, Hanson felt sorry for her.Yvonne tended to be self-deprecating, always seeking to please others. If someone disliked her, she would go out of her way to change their perception of her.Hanson wanted to advise her that her behavior was not healthy, but he feared it might hurt her self-esteem."But Joey doesn't like me. The more I approach her, the angrier she becomes."Aren't you acquainted with her? Can you talk to her? How about I handle Zachary's grandmother, just in case it

    Joey nodded slightly but remained silent. She thought that it was a pity she didn't record the way Yvonne spoke to her when she called Joey. Nonetheless, even if she had recorded it, it might not be useful.Yvonne could claim it was someone else pretending to be her. After all, Joey wasn't sure if Yvonne had used her own phone number to call her."Of course, it's up to you who you like or dislike. I just hope you can appear not to dislike her for once to give her some peace of mind."Hanson's gaze seemed expectant."As long as she knows you don't dislike her, she will leave."Joey couldn't help but think that Hanson still didn't understand Yvonne at all.If she relented, there would be endless troubles ahead. Why should she act like a saint?Hanson was clearly troubling her.For Yvonne's sake, Hanson could make such a rude request that would put Joey in a position that would invite endless trouble for herself."Your sister is important to you. So, to make her feel better, yo

    Warning bells rang in Henry's mind.It was one thing that Hanson had misidentified his sister. It seemed that he had also developed feelings for her.He rode his small electric scooter forward, slammed the brake, and then looked at them after placing his foot on the ground."Ms. Linton, if you can't get a cab, I can send you back. My electric scooter is pretty good," he offered.He absolutely could not give Hanson and Joey another chance to talk.Whenever Hanson spoke to Joey, Henry would feel very uncomfortable. If Hanson continued being so close to Joey, their sibling relationship might turn into romance, and that would be awkward.Joey nodded at Henry. "Sure. It's nice to feel the breeze."Hanson watched as she got on Henry's electric scooter without saying much. As Joey left on Henry's vehicle, he simply waved.Looking at him through the rearview mirror, Henry couldn't help but shudder involuntarily.He decided it would be better not to let Zachary know about Hanson's fe

    When Joey was getting ready to sleep, there was suddenly a knock on her door. Her phone suddenly rang, too. It was a call from a delivery guy.Joey was confused as she hadn't ordered any food.Answering the call, she said, "Hello.""Are you Ms. Linton? I have a delivery for you," the delivery guy said enthusiastically."I didn't order any delivery," Joey said politely."It's from your friend. I left it at your door. I have another order to deliver," the delivery guy said before hanging up.Joey wondered which friend would secretly order delivery for her in the middle of the night.Selena knew she didn't have a habit of eating supper, so who else could it be? Was Yvonne playing tricks again?Just as she was about to put down her phone and check, a message from Zachary arrived."Did you receive the delivery?"Joey looked at the message, speechless. She typed back, "What did you send?""Why don't you see for yourself? It's right at your doorstep."Joey had no choice but to g

    When Yvonne came out of the room, she was startled to see Hanson sitting on the couch in the reception area."Are you going to see Zachary's grandmother again?" Hanson asked her. His voice was slightly hoarse."If you won't help me, I'll do it myself. Besides, I talked to Mom last night, and she supports me." Yvonne lowered her eyes, stubborn for the first time."Yvonne, I still think what Joey said is right. This is just a misunderstanding. You don't have to do something like this because of it."Zachary's grandmother is not worth your efforts. Joey has suffered a lot at her hands. She's not a good person."Hanson stood up, fatigue evident in his expression as he spoke to Yvonne."The more you care about Joey, the more guilty I feel. Do you understand?" Yvonne said with a sad expression and turned to leave.Suddenly, Hanson raised his voice. "Yvonne!"Yvonne didn't stop but quickened her pace with a gloomy look."I don't understand why you feel guilty. Since the day you came

    "I don't understand, but I respect your opinion." Joey was always straightforward. She had never experienced the loss of a daughter, so it was hard for her to empathize fully.Moreover, she didn't like Yvonne. "It's okay if you don't understand. Just remember what I'm about to say."You must proceed with the design. It's for your own good."Consider it carefully. If you insist on doing things your way, don't blame me," Emily ordered like a commander.Joey couldn't help but chuckle. "Ms. Lane, thank you for being blunt with me."After saying this, she directly hung up the phone.Joey's actions infuriated Emily. She thought she sounded very authoritative, but Joey wasn't afraid at all.After hanging up the phone, Joey's expression unconsciously turned cold.When she arrived at the studio, she saw Hanson at the door. Henry was staring him down with a cold expression."Joey," Hanson called out when he saw her.Joey gave him a small nod. "You're here so early?"Hanson looked

    Joey shot him a cold glance. "You and he are both the same, so neither of you should be laughing at the other."Zachary nodded. "You're right, but I've turned over a new leaf now.""Let's go. Enough about him," Joey said. She was annoyed whenever Henry was brought up.He had a great girl willing to be with him, yet he was still unhappy. Any other man would have been grinning from ear to ear.They arrived at the restaurant, and while Joey ordered the food, Zachary sent a message to Henry."You should think about this. Joey and Grandma just want you to have someone by your side in the future, which is why they're saying these things."Don't give up on her just because of what her parents said. Having someone who genuinely likes you is rare."From Zachary's perspective, Henry had a pretty good start. Tessa didn't mind his circumstances, so what was he dissatisfied with?Henry quickly replied, "I know. I'll think about it carefully."In truth, Henry found it all a bit troublesome.

    Henry was immediately startled and started stammering, "O-Okay."As soon as Joey hung up the phone, she turned to see Tessa, who was crying pitifully, and handed her a tissue.Tessa took the tissue and sobbed without saying a word.Monica had prepared some desserts for her and looked at her with compassion. "Henry has never been in love before. Plus, he's straightforward and doesn't know how to talk properly. There's no need to cry."Joey thought that Henry just didn't love Tessa enough. Otherwise, how could he say such things?Tessa's eyes were swollen and red. Her tears continuously streamed down. "I know he doesn't like me. Maybe he just agreed to the relationship because I pursued him."Joey patted her shoulder. "In love, if one person is too proactive, the other will seem passive. The fact that you dared to love already makes you braver than many.""What's the point? He doesn't care about me at all." Tessa sniffled."Here, eat something," Monica said. "Feelings like love d

    No one tried to persuade Henry further, but Zachary continued to say to him, "Come with me to choose a location for the security company. It's worth doing."Henry was a bit speechless. "I'm not even pursuing the relationship anymore. Why should I still think about the security company?"Zachary responded, "Do you plan to cling to Joey's coattails your whole life? Once the business is set up, you can have apprentices teach others, and you can become a hands-off boss in a year or two."With that, Zachary headed out.After they left, Monica sighed in disappointment. "And I here I thought Henry had found someone good for him.""I think it's quite normal. Finding a good woman isn't easy," Joey said.Henry was indeed a good person, but with one eye missing and his job as a bodyguard, it was inevitable that Tessa's parents would worry."How disappointing," Monica murmured repeatedly.Joey didn't know what else to say and could only comfort her. "There's still a chance. What if Tessa d

    Joey snorted. "You looked down on me and thought I had no opinions back then."Zachary pulled her into his arms. "Joey, do you like the person you are now or the person you were before?""What about you?" Joey asked him."I liked you from the beginning. Do you think I would have pursued you for so long if I didn't? I never thought you were serious about the divorce. At first, I was angry, but now I just think I was too slow to react."Joey was genuinely angry back then, but he had thought she was playing hard to get.The two of them sat close and watched the movie together.Selena hadn't returned yet, so Joey guessed that she wouldn't be coming back."Selena probably won't return. Hanson is cunning by taking her away with just a movie," Joey said.Zachary turned off the projector and was still savoring the moment as Joey left his arms."They're in love. Otherwise, Selena wouldn't go with him so easily," Zachary remarked.Selena must really like Hanson. Otherwise, she wouldn't

    Zachary squeezed her hand tightly. "You're just like an exquisite and beautiful flower."Joey couldn't help but laugh. She pulled her hand back with a little force. "Even though we just had a heartfelt conversation, I haven't thought about being your girlfriend.""I get it. You're Chloe, and countless people are lining up to pursue you," Zachary said in a voice tinged with jealousy.If she wasn't so focused on her work, she probably would have found a new boyfriend by now. For example, Kenneth was an excellent person. If Joey had accepted him back then, Zachary thought he wouldn't stand a chance now.When they got back to Emmen, Joey freshened up and got back to work.Zachary couldn't help but say, "Can't you take a break?""I've gotten used to this over the past year. When I can't sleep at night, I'll work. I find it hard to relax now," Joey said while reading a document intently.Without her dedication and hard work, Emmen wouldn't have grown so quickly.Zachary beckoned her

    Zachary felt a heavy weight on his chest as he looked at Joey.She continued, "Even if I accept you again, and we try to rebuild a family, I know things can never go back to the way they were. I gave you my best years, and I don't feel like I owe you anything."During those three years, you ignored my true feelings and neglected me. Do you think it's possible to go back to the past now?"Zachary said, "I'm truly sorry.""I want to fully accept you, but I can't. You all think that the many hurts inflicted on me are something I can just get over, let go of, and move forward from. But I can't."I realize now that people are complicated and hold grudges. I constantly revisit every wrong done to me. If I didn't care, it would mean I don't care about any of you at all."Joey rarely opened up to Zachary like this, but she felt it necessary to make this clear.Zachary watched her silently and felt as though it was his first time knowing what she actually thought."It's like how I don't

    Selena readily agreed, "Alright. It's not fair for you to handle everything alone."Her relationship with Hanson was intense and passionate at the beginning, but now that the initial fire had burned out, Selena felt less attached to Hanson. But after dinner, she was still dragged by Hanson to watch a new movie.Joey was exhausted from work and didn't want to move, so she sat at the dining table with Zachary to enjoy the peace."Shall we head back soon?" Zachary asked after a long while.Joey hummed, exhausted. "Let's sit a bit longer.""If you don't want to walk, I can carry you," Zachary said with a smile.Joey snorted. "Do you want Grandma to scold me? Have you even recovered?""Probably not. These wounds don't heal so easily," Zachary admitted honestly. He wanted to please Joey but had forgotten that his health was no longer as robust as before."Let's sit for another half an hour," Joey said as she leaned back in her chair and replied to messages on her phone."You're work

    Selena felt that what Joey said made sense and immediately nodded in agreement. "Then I won't consider marriage."Zachary glanced at them and thought that Selena was a bad influence on Joey. Even if they were married, couldn't they still have fun? What was the difference?Around noon, Hanson and Tessa arrived at Emmen together.As soon as Tessa saw Henry, she ran to him and grabbed his arm. "I got out of class early to see you. You're not mad, are you?"Henry was taken aback, but seeing Tessa clinging to him so sweetly filled his heart with joy."Not at all. Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up," Henry said.Tessa held his hand. "Why do you have to pick me up? I know where you work, so I can come to find you."Henry nodded dumbly."Tessa, have you eaten?" Monica stepped forward with a gentle smile."No, but my parents want to invite him to dinner tonight. I've already arranged it with them," Tessa said with a smile.Joey thought this wasn't just a regular dinner

    Henry had a smile on his face, looking quite pleased with himself. "Of course, she fell in love with me at first sight."Selena laughed. "Impressive! But your cosplay style probably appeals to most young girls, right?"Henry may have only one eye, but he was still very handsome. He was like a cosplayer you'd see on the street.He simply smiled and picked up his phone to check in with Tessa.After chatting, Henry grinned like a fool. "She asked me out to lunch. She said she doesn't have classes this afternoon and wants to take me to her place."Joey felt a bit envious. "You're incredibly lucky. You need to cherish this."Henry nodded as Monica looked at Henry with a smile."What is your girlfriend studying in grad school?" Selena asked curiously."Something related to Eldelish language studies I think," Henry replied, unsure.Joey nodded. "That sounds good."After finishing his meal, Henry sat nearby, playing on his phone.Selena couldn't help but tell Joey, "Is he just going
