Chapter 836 Don''t Say Anything Stupid Later
Daniel''s legs were starting to feel sore, having stood outside for an hour.
It wasn''t that Zoe kicked him out, but when he expressed his desire toe over for dinner, Zoe said
she couldn''t do anything about it and told him to figure it out himself.
He knew Leanna well enough to know that she would eventually go soft if he kept standing there
despite Aidan''s refusal to let him in.
However, the price he paid was a bit too high.
When Zoe came out and saw him still standing there, she asked in surprise, "You didn''t go back?"
"No," Daniel replied, stumping Zoe. "You continue to stand then. I''m going over."
Daniel didn''t say anything; he just sighed.
Upon arriving at Leanna''s doorstep, Zoe looked back at him and said, "Or, if you''re tired of standing,
you can go into my apartment for a while? I''m sure you know why Nana didn''t invite you. It won''t make
a difference no matter how long you wait."
Daniel said, "It''s fine. You go in."
After saying okay, Zoe pressed the doorbell, and Leanna answered the door.
Daniel met her gaze and smiled friendly.
Leanna forced a smile and then closed the door.
After entering, Leanna whispered, "What''s going on? Does he want toe into my apartment or go to
yours?"
Zoe shrugged and snuck a nce at Louis sitting on the couch. "I think he might have the same
purpose as us."
It was actually a simple matter. Daniel was William''s adopted son and Elijah''s friend, and the incorrect
paternity test report was caused by Elijah.
He was trying his best to salvage the situation, partly out of responsibility and obligation and partly
because the mistake was caused by Elijah. Only by making Louis let go of his resentment and ept
the truth would William not me Elijah.
Feeling somewhat troubled, Leanna said, "Even so, he can''t keep waiting there forever…"
At that, Zoe leaned in and whispered, "So what''s Louis'' attitude to it now?"
Leanna smiled awkwardly. "He was arguing with Aidan just a moment ago."
They argued? Zoe gasped. No, I''veete. I can''t believe I missed such an exciting scene!
They whispered to each other for a while, and when Louis turned his head, they immediately averted
their gazes.
Leanna went into the kitchen, and Zoe went over. After looking around, she asked with curiosity, "Did
Daphne note, Louis?"
Louis hummed a reply and said, "She said she has to fly out of town for an event tonight."
Zoe was about to say something else when Louis interrupted, "Are you not going to let him in?"
Zoe was taken aback. "Me?"
"Do you expect it to be me then?" Aidan argued indifferently.
Zoe was somewhat stumped. Didn''t Nana just say they were arguing? Why are they now targeting me
together? Is it because I look easy to bully?
Zoe paused for a moment, nced at Louis'' face, and tentatively said, "I''ll let him in then?"
"If you want," Louis replied inly.
Instantly, Zoe got up, went to open the door, and said to the person outside, "Come in."
While Daniel was still reeling in stupefaction, Zoe grabbed his arm and leaned in close, whispering,
"Louis let you in. Don''t say anything stupidter."
Daniel forgot to breathe for a moment when she suddenly leaned so close to him. He looked down at
her. Her eyshes were long, and they trembled slightly as she spoke.
"What do you think about what I told you? Have you considered it?" Daniel asked.
"Sorry?" His sudden change of topic stunned Zoe. Where did this topice from all of a sudden?

Daniel spoke slowly. "About getting married."
Zoe fell silent for a moment before letting him go and immediately went to close the door. "I think it''s
best if you just stay outside."
At that, Daniel reached out to stop the door and squeezed in, saying, "Thank you."
Zoe was at a loss for words. Thank you my a*s!
Upon arriving in the living room, Daniel greeted Aidan and Louis casually.
Although everything seemed normal, Zoe sensed an invisible pressure.
With that, she quickly ran to the kitchen to help Leanna.
Leanna had just heard about Louis letting Daniel in, and now she was holding her breath, quietly
listening to themotion outside.
Although Louis letting Daniel in shifted the focus onto Zoe, no matter what, the fact that he still spoke
up first despite knowing about Daniel''s rtionship with William indicated that he didn''t reject this
matter as much as they had imagined.
After a short silence, Daniel found a topic. "I heard you''re involved in the New Coast project, President
Pearson."
Zoe and Leanna couldn''t hear Aidan''s answer, but the fact that they started chatting, allowing some
noise to return to the deadly silent living room, led the twodies to let out a sigh of relief.
While helping with the vegetables, Zoe whispered, "I really thought they were going to start fighting in
the next second from how they looked at each other when Daniel came in."
Leannaughed. "I heard you asked Louis why Daphne didn''te."
Zoe nodded. "He said she went out of town for an event."
Leanna quirked a brow in response, making noments.
At this point, Zoe was also a bit surprised. She had merely picked up a random topic, worried that he
had overheard them talking about him. But to her surprise, he actually gave her a definite answer.
At that, ambiguity filled her eyes, and she gossiped, "Say, have they taken the next step? Come on, tell
me."
"I''m not sure," Leanna said. "But Daphne answered my call to Louis in the morning."
Zoe''s eyes instantly lit up. "What did I tell you?! Our method works! Look how effective it is!"
"Have you noticed that Louis seems to be in a better mood than before?" she whispered after checking
outside.
Zoe tempted her. "Looks a little like it, but I can''t really tell, and… isn''t he sick? I can hear him speaking
with a stuffy nose."
"Yes, he''s sick, but look at him. He doesn''t look sick at all. In fact, hisplexion is quite rosy."
Zoe clicked her tongue. "Oh, to be young. He doesn''t even need medicine. All he needs is love to cure
his cold."
"And so can you." Leanna smiled and raised her chin to look outside.
"I can''t," Zoe said, "It''s one thing to date, but he wants to marry me. Don''t even think about it."
Zoe continued to sigh. "No sc*mbag in this world will ever turn a new leaf. They''ll only break a brief."
Leanna fell silent, thinking Zoe had a point.
"So what are you going to do now?" she asked.
Zoe shook her head and sighed. "My mom… she found out too and told me to find a proper
rtionship and stay away from him."
