I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 785

Chapter 785 How Are You Still Staying With Her?

Zoe and the others arrived at 9.00PM but didn't see Aidan, so Zoe asked tentatively, "Nana, where's President Pearson?"

Leanna replied, "Something came up and he left."

Freddie followed up with another question. "What happened?"

"Not sure. He didn't say," Leanna answered.

On their way here, Freddie also learned that Keaton was on some sort of mission and had caused quite a commotion.

Leanna served the hot meal on the table. "Let's eat first."

Daphne rubbed her stomach. "Let's eat. I'm starving."

For the past few days, she had been eating small portions of vegetables and fruit for the advertisement shoot and dared not eat anything else.

She was so hungry on the way back that she even ate a cream cake.

Therefore, she felt guilty.

But at least the advertisement was finally finished, and she didn't have to manage her figure so strictly anymore.

After sitting down, Freddie asked Leanna, "Why isn't Louis here?"

Leanna hesitated before answering, "He still has classes, so I didn't ask him to come."

Hearing that, Freddie expressed his regrets. "Louis is quite smart, and I admire that. There aren't many people I admire, and he's at the top of the list. By the way, does he have a girlfriend? I have a cousin studying abroad. Though she's not as smart as me, her grades are pretty good, and she's full of youth and vitality..."

Zoe coughed and picked up the juice in front of her. "Mr. Sutton, you've worked hard recently. Let's have a toast with water instead of wine."

Freddie clearly appreciated this gesture and waved his hand. "It's nothing. It was my pleasure."

With just a few words, Zoe shifted Freddie's attention to something else so that he didn't continue that topic.

Leanna secretly glanced at Daphne and noticed she looked calm while focusing on calculating the calories of the food in front of her.

Once the meal ended, everyone left one after another since it was getting late.

Zoe volunteered to help Leanna wash the dishes, but Leanna pushed her out of the kitchen. "You've had a long day today, go back and rest."

Moving her sore arms and seeing Leanna's firm attitude, Zoe stopped insisting and grabbed her things. "Alright then, you finish up and rest early. Goodnight."

Leanna smiled. "Goodnight."

After Zoe left, Leanna washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and even mopped the entire house, but Aidan still hadn't returned.

She sat on the sofa and sighed while looking at her phone in front of her and leaning against the back of the sofa.

She had made a promise to Aidan before he left.

So she wouldn't ask what was happening outside.

...

After Zoe returned to her home next door, she immediately took a shower. Just as she was about to curl up on the sofa and watch TV, her phone started ringing incessantly.

This was the fifth time her mother had called her today.

She had been busy with work and hadn't paid attention to it.

But it seemed that if she didn't answer now, her mother would come rushing to Highside to look for her.

Zoe answered her phone, then put the call on speaker to avoid her mother's voice being too loud. Once that was done, she threw it aside.

On the other end of the phone, Sheila sounded unexpectedly calm. She asked, "What were you doing? Why didn't you pick up my call?"

Zoe replied, "Mom, I've been working the whole day and didn't pay attention to my phone."

After a pause, she asked, "Why did you call?"

Sheila asked, "Are you still dating Brandon?"

"Huh?"

Hearing that question, Zoe was at a loss for what to say.

She wondered why her mother would ask her that.

Sheila continued, "If you don't like him, then break up with him. I've been asking around these past few days and found out that he's not good with relationships. His family has introduced him to many girls, but none of them were the right ones for him. Do you know why?"

Zoe followed her words and asked, "Why?"

At this point, Sheila was somewhat angry. "He has an ex-girlfriend who isn't a good woman anyway... In short, Brandon still can't forget about her for some reason, and no matter what his parents say, he wouldn't give up on her. After that, his mother was so angry at her that she ended up in the hospital for half a month. But even while he was going on blind dates with other girls, he was still involved with that woman. Someone like him is bad luck."

Upon hearing that, Zoe let out a sigh of relief. "So you called me because of this. I thought..."

"Why else would I call? You didn't answer the phone, and you're alone in another city. Your dad and I were worried that something happened to you. If you still won't answer the phone, I might even resort to calling the police."
