I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 176

It Would Only Backfire if He Insisted After hanging up, Leanna let out a deep breath and returned to the living room. Zoe asked, “What happened? What did that b*stard say?” Leanna curled up cozily on the couch and said wearily, “He asked me to go somewhere with him this weekend.” “But you…” “That’s why I rejected him.” Zoe pondered for a moment before she leaned over and asked, “Sweetie, don’t you think that Aidan is acting a little bit strange lately?” Leanna scoffed at her question. “He’s not only strange. He’s practically torturing me even more than usual.” “Do you think he’s really torturing you?” Leanna felt exhausted, and even her voice sounded tired. “What else could it be?”

Zoe summarized, “Don’t you think that his recent actions are almost like an elementary schooler who doesn’t know how to show his affection and always uses silly ways to get the attention of the girl that he likes?” Leanna turned speechless. After a long silence, she reached up and touched Zoe’s forehead with a hand, touching her own with the other. She said with a frown, “You don’t have a fever, do you?” “Hey.” Zoe pushed her hand away. “I’m being serious. Besides, didn’t that b*stard admit that he likes you before? I think that there’s a high chance I could be right.” Leanna settled into the couch again and said indifferently, “To someone like him, like is just an adjective that doesn’t have any significant meaning.” Zoe sighed, agreeing with her. After that, Zoe went out to throw the trash. Five minutes later, she rushed back inside with an excited expression. “Nana! Nana!” Leanna asked, “What happened?” “Do you remember that mixed-race hottie we met in the elevator? I saw him again just now. Guess what, he’s the neighbor who just moved in next to us!

“No, no, I have to go and wash my hair and do my makeup so that I won’t scare him away.” Seeing that, Leanna smiled. “There’s a cake I bought in the fridge. You can give it to him.” “Love you!” Because of Aidan’s phone call, Leanna wasn’t in the mood to work on her drafts anymore. She changed her clothes instead, deciding to go for a jog. Before she left, she asked, “Zoe, I’m going out. Do you need anything?” “Get me some supper. I didn’t eat enough at dinner.” “All right.” After hearing the sound of the door closing, Zoe glanced at the time and saw that

out to pull the door shut. “I don’t want to buy anything.” Zoe hurriedly stopped him from closing the door. She kept the smile on her face as she explained, “Sir, I’m your neighbor. I noticed that you just moved in, so I came to say hello.” Hearing that, he let go of the door handle. “Sorry.” She smoothed her dress, trying to maintain a good image in front of him. “It’s fine. This cake is for you.” “No, thank you. I’m not a big fan of desserts.” “All right.” Zoe took back the cake sheepishly. Then, she said, “By the way, I am Zoe. I live in the next door with my friend. May I know how do I address you?” He replied nonchalantly, “Daniel.” “Then… I guess I’ll go back now. Since we’re all neighbors, if you need any help, just let me know. After all, a good neighbor is better than a brother far away.” Daniel smiled at her slightly, then closed the door. Zoe stood outside the door. She looked at the cake that had not been given out, could not help

cake down and said in a way as if she had been motivated, “No, I can’t just back down like this. Most hot guys have a bad temper, right? I have to use my kindness to win his heart. Isn’t that always how it goes in the movies? As long as I’m kind enough, he will definitely like me back.” Leanna turned speechless. She placed the food in front of Zoe and said, “Don’t have to wait for me, you can eat first. I’ll go and take a
