Chapter 55

Before the dishes could be served at dinner, Zoe was a little tipsy and asked in a daze, "How long until Louis starts school?"

"Next week."

"Ah..." Zoe gave a hiccup. "I didn't expect you to enter high school so quickly; the first time I saw you, you were this height, not even my shoulders; in the blink of an eye, you'll be old enough to call me Mom."

Louis was speechless.

Leanna scratched her head. This drunkenness is a bit ridiculous.

Zoe was now drunk because she eventually started singing and dancing.

He found himself asking, "Is she really okay?"

"Just let her vent."

Zoe always had a carefree demeanour whereby she did not take anything to heart. If she encountered something unpleasant, her disposition would be restored the following day after consuming alcohol. The fact that she was currently acting like this demonstrated that the pain she experienced this time was far more severe.

After she was drunk and passed out on the table, Leanna helped Zoe up to her feet and said softly, "Zoe, we're going home."

Zoe stared at her with tears in her eyes and exclaimed, "Oh, I don't have a home anymore since that scumbag cheated on me... Nana, I don't have a home anymore."

Leanna comforted her by hugging her.

After Zoe cried to the point where she was close to being unconscious, Leanna and Louis sent her back.

Once they placed her on the bed, he asked, "Do you girls always look like this during a breakup?"

Leanna answered, "Yes, you always need to vent."

"Then, why didn't you cry?"

She froze. "Huh?"
