Facade of Love

Chapter 223 Paying Quite Close Attention

Zoe shook her head, looking confused. “I attended a fashion show a few days ago where the signal was poor. I just got back this afternoon and sent him several messages, but he didn’t reply. When I went to Scott Corporation to find him, the staff there said he hadn’t been to the office for a few days. I wanted to ask you earlier, but I didn’t get a chance to.”

I smiled and said, “He went to Lorrell with my mother. Maybe the signal there is bad, so he didn’t reply to your messages. He should be back in a couple of days.”

She nodded and uttered a light, “Oh.”

As I had not seen Liam, Emily, or even Ash, I was somewhat worried.

Seeing them like that, I let out a sigh of relief.

I withdrew my gaze, unexpectedly meeting his slightly narrowed dark eyes. I said instinctively, “Nothing…”
