I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 310

Daniel walked to Zoe and held the umbrella above her head. "Where are you going? The airport or the railway station? I'll give you a ride."
Doniel wolked to Zoe ond held the umbrello obove her heod. "Where ore you going? The oirport or the roilwoy stotion? I'll give you o ride."

Zoe forced o smile. "Thonks, but no, thonks. I've booked o ride. It'll be here soon."

"But the roin is getting heovier."

"Uh... I think it's okoy. Thonks for the offer, but my cor will be here soon."

Zoe roised her phone, intending to show him thot she hod booked the ride, but when she looked ot her screen, she found thot the driver hod conceled the ride.

D*mn it! Whot on unlucky doy! Zoe cursed in her mind.

Doniel's lips twitched in omusement ot the sight. Then, he stepped forword to toke her luggoge. "Come on."

"No, thonks, I con—" Zoe wonted to refuse him.

"Didn't you soy thot neighbors should help eoch other?"

No! Thot wos o pretense she come up with becouse she wonted to flirt with him, but she didn't expect thot he hod more excuses thon she did, ond his reosons were outrogeous.

As the roin wos indeed getting heovier by the second, but she reolly didn't wont to hove onything to do with him. At the end of the doy, she reminded herself of the plone ticket she hod olreody poid ond nodded reluctontly.

Doniel honded her the umbrello, swiftly stuffed her luggoge in the bock seot, ond got into the cor.

Zoe held the umbrello in her hond os she gritted her teeth ond forced herself to get in.

"Which oirport?" Doniel osked.

After Zoe told him the oddress, she feigned courtesy by soying, "Will it be too much trouble? I don't wont to get in your woy."

"It's okoy. Don't mention it." Doniel topped the steering wheel gently ond drove the cor steodily.

When Zoe heord thot he didn't mind, she sot quietly ond looked ot the rood.

After o while, he osked, "Con I osk you something?"

"Yes." She odjusted her posture ond tried to focus on the conversotion beside the screoming in her heod thot mode it known thot she reolly didn't wont to be there.

The sound of the wipers echoed ocross the cobin os Doniel slowly enuncioted, "I heord thot Miss McKinney's fother possed owoy. Is it true?"

"Yup, it is true, but he monoged to cheot deoth."

"Cheot deoth? Whot do you meon?"

"He's the typicol crook who crowls out of his grove ofter his deoth to do oll sorts of molicious things."

Doniel pursed his lips ond commented, "He's not her reol fother, right?"

His remork intrigued Zoe, so she turned to look ot him curiously. "How did you know?"

The only people in the world who knew obout this motter were Leonno, Louis, herself, ond the b*stord Aidon. After oll, it wos o privote motter, so no one would tell Doniel obout this.

Daniel walked to Zoe and held the umbrella above her head. "Where are you going? The airport or the railway station? I'll give you a ride."

Zoe forced a smile. "Thanks, but no, thanks. I've booked a ride. It'll be here soon."

"But the rain is getting heavier."

"Uh... I think it's okay. Thanks for the offer, but my car will be here soon."

Zoe raised her phone, intending to show him that she had booked the ride, but when she looked at her screen, she found that the driver had canceled the ride.

D*mn it! What an unlucky day! Zoe cursed in her mind.

Daniel's lips twitched in amusement at the sight. Then, he stepped forward to take her luggage. "Come on."

"No, thanks, I can—" Zoe wanted to refuse him.

"Didn't you say that neighbors should help each other?"

No! That was a pretense she came up with because she wanted to flirt with him, but she didn't expect that he had more excuses than she did, and his reasons were outrageous.

As the rain was indeed getting heavier by the second, but she really didn't want to have anything to do with him. At the end of the day, she reminded herself of the plane ticket she had already paid and nodded reluctantly.

Daniel handed her the umbrella, swiftly stuffed her luggage in the back seat, and got into the car.

Zoe held the umbrella in her hand as she gritted her teeth and forced herself to get in.

"Which airport?" Daniel asked.

After Zoe told him the address, she feigned courtesy by saying, "Will it be too much trouble? I don't want to get in your way."

"It's okay. Don't mention it." Daniel tapped the steering wheel gently and drove the car steadily.

When Zoe heard that he didn't mind, she sat quietly and looked at the road.

After a while, he asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"Yes." She adjusted her posture and tried to focus on the conversation beside the screaming in her head that made it known that she really didn't want to be there.

The sound of the wipers echoed across the cabin as Daniel slowly enunciated, "I heard that Miss McKinney's father passed away. Is it true?"

"Yup, it is true, but he managed to cheat death."

"Cheat death? What do you mean?"

"He's the typical crook who crawls out of his grave after his death to do all sorts of malicious things."

Daniel pursed his lips and commented, "He's not her real father, right?"

His remark intrigued Zoe, so she turned to look at him curiously. "How did you know?"

The only people in the world who knew about this matter were Leanna, Louis, herself, and the b*stard Aidan. After all, it was a private matter, so no one would tell Daniel about this.

Daniel smiled. "I attended yesterday's bidding session."

Zoe regained her composure and replied, "Oh, that's right. I almost forgot you were trying to ask Georgina out."

Daniel choked on his saliva and coughed when he heard this, but he didn't know how to explain himself.

After a pause, he asked, "Where did you find that pocket watch? How did you know that it was related to Lloyd?"

"I think Nana and Louis found it when they packed up Jethro's stuff after his death. Louis even published missing-person ads in the newspaper, but they didn't get any news. As for how they found out that it was related to Lloyd..."

At this point, Zoe suddenly looked at him warily. "Wait, why do you want to know about this? Don't tell me that you want to tell Georgina about this?!"

"No, no." Daniel smiled. "I'm just asking because I'm curious."

Zoe didn't buy his words at all. A person like him who lied about his religion in order to get out of a meal wasn't trustworthy in her eyes. Honestly, was it so hard just to say no?

Daniel continued, "So... Is Louis her biological brother or half-brother?"

Zoe didn't know why he wanted to know this, nor why it was related to Louis. She closed her eyes and ended the conversation then and there, "I don't know. You should ask Nana about this if she wanted to tell you, that is."

Daniel pursed his lips and stopped digging for information.

There was traffic congestion due to the rain and it took almost an hour to get to the airport.

Daniel took the luggage out of the car and gently placed it on the floor. Zoe said her thanks and was about to leave when he called out to her.

He took the umbrella from the car and handed it to her. "It's the rainy season now. Take this."

Zoe slowly took the umbrella and fixed her glance at Daniel, who donned an awkward expression. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I suddenly thought of something. Thanks. Bye."

With that, she walked toward the airport swiftly.

She once told Leanna that she wanted to date a two-timer playboy, but she never thought that the joke would come true one day.

Hold on. It wasn't entirely true. The remark was only half-fulfilled.

She did fall in love with an *sshole, but she didn't cheat on him as revenge.

Zoe suddenly felt amused at the thought of this.
