Chapter 820 I Won’t ept a sh Marriage That Ends in Divorce
Leanna didn''t believe him and pouted, saying, "That''s not what you said thest time I told you."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"You must have remembered it wrong."
Leanna was about to say something when a hand covered her lips.
"Baby, we should get down to business," Aidan said in a deep voice as he wrapped his arms around
her waist.
…
Meanwhile, Zoe sat on the table, sternly looking at her father, who was chatting enthusiastically with
Daniel.
She wanted to interrupt them several times but was stopped by She, who whispered, "Your father
hasn''t been this happy in a long time. Leave him alone."
"But the doctor told him to cut back on drinking," Zoe remarked.
"You know your dad, he has no other hobbies. He hasn''t had any alcohol in a while. Besides, I''m
watching him and know what to do. Don''t worry about it."
As Zoe was helpless to change the situation, she idly scrolled through her phone.
Daniel turned his head and nced at her as Matthew spoke, his smile fading.
He could tell she was getting frustrated.
He hade here without being asked, and now that he had gotten what he wanted, it was time to
leave.
Daniel averted his gaze, stood up, and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Hart, it''s gettingte. I should go."
Matthew checked his phone and saw that it was already 11 at night.
He also got up and added, "Alright, be careful on your way back. Where do you live?"
Daniel responded, "Not far, it''s just a short walk."
She chimed in, "Dan, remember what I told you before? Feel free to drop by whenever you''d like to
eat some home-cooked food. There''s no need to be shy."
Smiling, Daniel replied, "Yes. I appreciate it, Mrs. Hart."
She grinned contentedly as she turned to face Zoe. "Zoe, why don''t you take Daniel downstairs? Dad
has been drinking, and I need to take care of him."
"Oh," Zoe said as she walked out, holding her phone.
"Don''t mind her, she''s not usually like this," She said to Daniel as she watched Zoe leave.
Daniel said, "Yeah. Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Hart."
After saying that, he nodded to them and quickly followed Zoe out.
When they had both left, She smiled contentedly as she spoke. "I''ve never seen such a handsome
and polite man before. He''s much better than Rowan. Zoe would be so much happier with such a
handsome man."
Matthew replied, "But it seems like Zoe doesn''t have any interest in him. I like Daniel. He does seem
like a good man."
She red at him, and retorted, "What do you know? Girls should be reserved. They shouldn''t show
too much interest at the first meeting. Besides, isn''t he the type that Zoe likes? It''s hard to find
someone who meets all the requirements. She cannot let him slip away!"
"All right, all right. It doesn''t matter what we say. It''s all up for Zoe to decide."
She covertly added, "Zoe definitely likes him. Just wait and see. Maybe we''ll have a grandchild next
year!"
…
When Zoe and Daniel were outside of the apartment building, Zoe sternly said, "You should leave. And
don''te to my parents anymore. You don''t need to care about what they said."
"Why?" Daniel questioned as he halted in his tracks.
Zoe''s anger turned into a sneer when she heard that. He had no right to ask her why.
She turned to look at him. "I''ve told you before. My parents are ordinary people. They don''t have your
forward-thinking mindset or your openness in rtionships. They want me to approach every potential
rtionship with the intention of getting married, so you—"
Daniel cut her off and continued, "If I''m not thinking about marriage, why would Ie to meet your
parents?"
Huh?

He pursed his lips and softly said, "Zoe, I know I''ve done a lot of things wrong and disappointed you
many times before, but I swear my feelings for you are genuine."
Zoe had already gone through a lot of ups and downs in life, so she was not going to fall victim to this
tempting trap.
After she had collected herself, she continued, "I won''t ept a sh marriage that ends in divorce."
Speechless, Daniel replied, "Am I really not worth believing?"
Zoeughed in response. "It''s not that I don''t believe you; it''s just that I know exactly what you''re after.
What you want is a rtionship that is always exciting, a partner who can be easily separated at any
time."
"You might feel something for me, but how long will thisst? You can fall in love with another girl very
quickly after losing interest in me. But I cannot. I''ve lost the courage to love someone again, and I don''t
want to get into a rtionship with no future."
"So what you''re saying is, you think I don''t like you enough and can''t give you a sense of security,"
Daniel gently said as he stared at her.
Hearing that, Zoe was taken aback. Was he paying attention to what she said?
Daniel continued, "I never easily make promises, but once I do, I will never regret it.
There''s a long time ahead of us. How do you know I won''t—Are you then willing to bet on this one
asion?
The future is uncertain regardless of who you marry. Given that, why can''t I be your marriage partner?
At the very least, we like each other."
For a brief moment, Zoe was unsure of how to respond because it made sense.
Suddenly, a male voice came from beside them. "Zoe?"
Zoe snapped back to reality and turned her head.
Rowan stood not far away, holding a garbage bag in his hand and looking at them with an
indistinguishable expression.
"What?" Zoe responded.
Rowan approached and remarked, "I thought I saw someone who looked like you."
As he spoke, he looked at Daniel up and down. "Who''s this?"
Zoe found it humorous when she heard the slightly skeptical tone in his voice and angrily retorted, "I
think who he is is none of your business. Why would you want to know?"
Rowan''s expression changed and he came up with an excuse. "We live in the same neighborhood, so
it''s only natural for me to care about you as a woman living alone."
"Oh, I didn''t expect you to be so concerned about me. I suppose deleting me was just a mistake,
right?"
