    Chapter 654 Emotions Can Be


    Cultivated “Going home?”


    Helená looked puzzled. “Is there anything wrong with that?” Joe smiled. “Nothing.”


    “Well, let’s go then.” Helena, hooking her arm in Joe’s, began to stride towards the main entrance. Joe


    was somewhat at a loss for a moment. “Helena, you…”


    know what you want to ask,” Helena interrupted, looking up at him. “But before that, you have to


    answer a few of my questions.” Joe nodded. “You don’t have a girlfriend, do you?” “No.” “How about a


    special someone?”


    “No.”


    “Really? You’re not lying to me?” Helena asked for confirmation.


    Joe answered definitively, “No, I swear.” No need for oath, I trust you,’ Helena beamed at him.

    “Now it’s my turn to answer your questions.” With her arm still hooked in his, Helena leaned naturally


    against Joe.


    “The answer is quite simple. Your brother, Lincoln, is in love, and he would give up everything for her.


    “I must admit, I’m envious of that woman, but for me, Lincoln is not a good marriage prospect.


    “I’ve always believed that love can be cultivated slowly, but only if there’s no one else in your heart.


    “So, instead of choosing Lincoln, I choose you.


    “I believe you wille to like me!” Listening to Helena’s answers, Joe couldn’t help but admire her


    more.


    This woman was insightful. He held the small hand that was hooked in his arm, their fingers


    interlocking. Helena looked at him, surprised. Joe’s firm voice rang out. “Let’s start cultivating from now


    on.” Looking at their inteced fingers, Helena’s cheeks flushed.


    They were about to leave together when Marcus rushed in hurriedly! He nearly collided with Helena, if


    it weren’t for Joe’s timely protection.


    “What’s happened?” Joe asked quickly. Upon seeing Joe, Marcus did not intend to hide anything.


    “Something’s happened! Archie has run off!” “What?” Early the next morning.


    Theodore looked pleased, thinking that everything went ording to nst night and Lincoln would


    have to marry his daughter.


    But who would have guessed that during breakfast, other than the disdainful nces from Scarlet,


    there were looks of surprise and confusion from Stephen.


    Za showed no reaction throughout, not even ncing at Lincoln. This was worrisome for Theodore.


    Howe there were no signs of reconciliation between the two? They didn’t even seem to.., want to


    communicate? Did nothing happenst night? Was Lincoln not up to it?


    Theodore gave Lincoln several doubtful nces. The man was at least 6.3 feet tall with a body that left


    nothing to be desired.


    Was he all show and no substance? “Za, what are your ns for today?” Stephen asked as he


    ced a fried egg in Za’s bowl.


    Za picked up her phone, typed a few words, and showed him: [Going to check on the progress at


    the studio.] “Do you want me to drive you?” Za nodded, smiling.


    Lincoln sat next to her, but she did not give him a single nce. But only Za knew that his presence


    made her unable to concentrate even on her breakfast.


    She ate sporadically, while Scarlet kept insisting that she wasn’t eating enough and should eat more. In


    the end, there was too much food on her te.


    She looked at Scarlet helplessly, shaking her head repeatedly. She really couldn’t finish all the food.
