I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 444

What a shameless b*tch she is. Leanna leaned on the wall and said flatly, "I have no idea why you think you have the right to negotiate with me, but I won't help you, no matter for whose sake. I've already helped you enough by not telling the cops what you told me back at the police station."

Queenie hissed, "You'll regret this, Leanna!"

Leanna chuckled. "Sure. Do your worst." And then, the call ended. She tucked her phone away. All her sleepiness was lost, so she made herself a cup of coffee and returned to her office.

Zoe had already woken up. She was staring out the window and yawning. Once Leanna came in, she rubbed her eyes. "Where did you go, Nana?"

Leanna answered, "I was dozing off, so I made some coffee. Want some?" Zoe nodded, so Leanna gave her the cup of coffee and went to make another one.

Zoe drank the coffee and sat down, waiting for the caffeine to hit her. A while later, she had shaken off her sleepiness, so she got up. "Nana, I'm hungry. I wanna get something. You want some?"

"I'm fine with anything."

"Okay. I'll get you something, then." Zoe stretched her arms and left the office. Her destination was the mall beside them.

Just as she had taken a few steps, Daniel appeared beside her. "Hi. What a coincidence."

Zoe's lips twitched. "Your shop is right beside ours. Yeah, fancy seeing you here."

He cocked his eyebrow, but he said nothing. Instead, he followed her into the mall.

Zoe went to the bakery in the basement to get some pastries. Then, she made a beeline for the snack bar she frequented to get some snacks.

And Daniel followed her all the way. Then, he said, "Pick this. I saw an ad for it before, and I think it'd taste good."

She wanted to roll her eyes, but she refrained.

He placed two bags of snacks in her cart and looked around. "That one's nice, too. You ladies are gonna love it." He placed a few bags of that snack into her cart.

She turned around abruptly. "Why did you come here anyway?"

"I wanna shop with you."

Zoe looked around. "Those guys aren't here. You can stop acting now, bye." This wasn't the only time they weren't around. She noticed that nobody was tailing Daniel lately, but he kept appearing around her like usual. He even offered to take her home. She was annoyed by that. That's going too far.

He smiled, but he said nothing. He just kept picking snacks for her.

In the end, she chose a few cans of snacks and paid for all her stuff. She asked the cashier for a plastic bag and handed the canned stuff to Daniel. "Here, for you. Thanks for coming with me."

Canned snacks, huh?

Since he wasn't taking them, she stuffed the cans in his arms and left.

He held them and followed her. "Are you still mad at me, Zoe?"

She kept walking. "Why should I? You're not my boyfriend. I don't have to be so petty."

"Then, why did you—"

Zoe then answered thoughtfully, "I thought you liked these snacks, but I can relieve you of them if you don't want them."

She tried to take them, but he dodged her. "Oh? You don't want to give them away? So, you do like them, don't you?" she uttered.

"No!" Daniel explained, "I don't exactly like them. It's just the food was gonna expire. And I don't waste food."

She smirked and kept walking ahead, but just her luck, she ran into a moron.

Anthony stopped in front of Zoe, surprised that he would run into her. "Zoe?"

God, I wanna gag. "No, you got the wrong person." she denied at once. I'm your daddy.

She was about to go around him, but Anthony held her arm. "Do you live nearby? No wonder I couldn't find you."

She pulled her arm back. Impatiently, she said, "What do you want, son?"

The mockery flew over his head, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. "Zoe, I'm sorry. Really, I am. I've broken up with her. Let's start over again, alright? You wanna get married, don't you? We can get married right away."

"What is the matter with you? You're the most disgusting, vile man I've ever seen in my life. I don't even wanna call you trash because that would be an insult to trash. You cheated on me, and now you're acting like you're a loyal guy? Go drown yourself in a sewer."

Anthony's face fell. Just when he was about to say something, a guy appeared right beside Zoe. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Softly, he said, "Is this your friend, honey?"
