Chapter 844 Hating Him for Being Slow-witted


    As soon as Zoe got home, she received a message from Leanna. Zoe sent an apology message.


    Daniel identally nced at her phone and paused before asking, "The person you were meeting


    tonight was Miss McKinney?"


    Zoe red at him. "Who else could it be?"


    Leanna still had some unfinished design drawings, so the original n was to check out the new ce


    together after Zoe met up with Jareth.


    Little did they know that Daniel would meddle and interfere. In the end, Zoe did not have a proper


    conversation with Jareth, and thedies'' ns went out of the window.


    Daniel averted his gaze elsewhere guiltily. "I''ll see what''s in the fridge."


    He entered the kitchen and opened the fridge. There were fruits and a foam box. Assuming that it was


    vegetables, so he opened it to take a look.


    It turned out that there were a few packs of traditional medicine.


    He furrowed his brows and held one of them. Just as he turned around to ask something, Zoe had


    already rushed over.


    They locked eyes for a few seconds before she took the pack from him and ce it back into the box,


    muttering softly, "I told you not to bother about the meal. I''ll order a delivery."


    Daniel stared at his empty hands. "Are you taking medicine?"


    Zoe closed the fridge. "It''s nothing. It''s just some supplements."


    His brows furrowed deeper. "Is it because of the..."


    Knowing what he was thinking, she casually poured herself a ss of water and said, "Don''t


    misunderstand the situation. It''s just that I stay upte often and don''t exercise much. So, I thought of


    taking some supplements. It''s not for the reason you''re thinking."


    He leaned against the fridge and zeroed in on her without uttering a word.


    The uneasiness in her grew under his persistent gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

    Daniel said, "Actually, I can just take those to a doctor and I''ll be able to know what is it for."


    She fell silent for a moment and put her ss down. "In short, it''s good for my health. It won''t make any


    difference."


    Without the numbness of alcohol, Zoe didn''t want to discuss this issue with him. She pushed him away.


    "Alright, don''t just stand here. If you want to stay and have supper, sit there. If you don''t want to, go


    back where you came from."


    After leaving the kitchen, Daniel looked back at her several times. The corner of his lips twitched, yet


    he was at a loss for words.


    As soon as Zoe got home, she received a message from Leanna. Zoe sent an apology message.


    Zoe took out her phone and randomly ordered something. As soon as she finished ordering, her phone


    vibrated.


    It was a message from Jareth. ''About that guy we met during our meal, I feel like I''ve seen him


    somewhere. I asked my friend about it when I got back. Do you think it''s him?''


    Below attached was a photo. It was a promotional poster for Daniel''s world tour.


    ''This guy is probably even more popr with girls than we can imagine. I know a few girls who are his


    fans. I heard that his previous girlfriends were all hot.''


    Zoe was speechless at that.


    ''Thus, it''s fine to just y around with a guy like him, but don''t develop real feelings for him. You won''t


    be able to handle him.''


    She read thest sentence and lowered her gaze. No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.


    He was still typing something on the other end, but it took a while for him to send it. Two minutester,


    eight photos were sent all at once.


    The girls in the photos were of different nationalities, yet there was a simrity they shared—they were


    undeniably beautiful.


    Some of the girls'' selfies even captured half of Daniel''s face while he was talking on the phone, ying


    the piano, or reading.


    Jareth was a bit naive. He simply wished for her to see clearly how unreliable Daniel was and to never


    fall for him.


    Although there were no intimate photos, Zoe couldn''t help the mixed feelings churning in her stomach


    upon looking at those smiling faces. They stifled her.


    She poured herself another ss of water and downed it all before going to the living room.


    Daniel was sitting there, searching for something on his phone. Noticing her arrival in a fierce


    momentum, he couldn''t help but lean back on the couch.


    Zoe stood in front of him and grabbed his cor, riveting him at the spot. He assumed that she had


    finally lost it and wanted to beat him up to vent her anger.


    That was fine for him.


    However, surprisingly, she lowered her head and kissed him without a word. His eyes widened and his


    hand froze in mid-air. Obviously, his brain and body couldn''t keep up with the sudden turn of events.


    The fact that she was taking traditional medicine to regte her body after the miscarriage might be the


    reason for his hesitation. He dared not take the next step.


    Zoe bit his tongue fiercely. "Why the gantry?"


    When he regained some of hisposure, his voice was slightly hoarse. "Don''t you want supper?"


    She muttered, "I''m not hungry."


    She ordered supper because she noticed that he hadn''t eaten anything all night. His ungratefulness


    was tolerable, but he imed that she ate a lot!


    The more Zoe thought about it, the angrier she became. She hated how slow-witted he was. She let go


    of his cor. Forget it.


    Right when she was about to get up, he held her waist to savor her lips again. The room was getting


    hotter, and their breaths were scorching each other''s skin.


    When they reached the final stage, Daniel stopped as his hands supported himself on either side of her


    body. He panted. "Do you have it?"


    She paused. "No." She lived alone, so why would she buy that and keep it at home?


    shback to the first time they did it, she went to buy emergency contraception by herself after they


    slept together.


    Daniel pursed his lips and turned over, getting off the couch. "Then I''ll go buy it."


    She didn''t say anything. She silently pulled up her clothes that had slipped off her shoulders. Daniel


    was quick as he had only one objective.


    He went straight to the shelves in the convenience store to grab a box. He hesitated momentarily, after


    which he grabbed two more boxes.


    There was a part-time girl in the store. Daniel''s appearance alone easily conjured certain wild images


    in people''s heads. When she saw him repeatedly grabbing several boxes, her face turned red.


    Daniel noticed her expression and let out a wry cough. Instead of offering any exnation, he left so


    quickly after footing the bill.


    While waiting for the elevator, he happened to encounter a deliveryman, who was having Zoe''s order.


    He took it from the deliveryman and strode into the elevator. Meanwhile, Zoe had taken a quick shower


    and was wearing a loose shirt with her hair pinned up.


    Daniel opened the door and looked at her with restraint. "The delivery is here, do you want..."


    Zoe''s cheeks were tinged with red, which might''ve been caused by the steam in the bathroom or


    something else.


    She walked over and lifted his shirt by the hem. Running her hand along his V-line, she nibbled his


    neck. "Quick."
