Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 385

Chapter 385

Zoe sat on the couch, utterly immersed in her thoughts. Her eyes were half-lidded, and she was as still as a statue.

Daniel stood opposite her, shifting on his foot when she left him hanging. After a while, he started wondering whether she might have fallen asleep and asked tentatively, "Why don't you… put away the thing in your hands first? It's kinda scary."

When she heard that, her grip on the bat tightened, and he cleared his throat in discomfort before taking a step back.

After a few seconds, Zoe finally said, "The common enemy you mentioned. Do you mean Lloyd?"

Daniel nodded, and she pressed, "So, you and Georgina…"

"That was all for show. I approached her with my own motives, and despite knowing this, she still made use of me."

A few seconds passed, and she remarked sarcastically, "Just a show, eh? Just like what you're doing now?"

"Well… not really," he fumbled for a logical reason. "We're doing this for justice. The nature behind our actions is entirely different."

"Mhm," Zoe hummed, unconvinced.

After he waited for a few minutes, he slowly broached the question, "So, have you considered it?"

"Are you sure that they won't harm Nana if I agree to put on this act with you?" she gazed at him sharply as she inquired.

"At least they won't be able to blackmail her by trying to catch a hold of me, and if they tried from other aspects, I'd try to think of a way to stop them."

Zoe furrowed her brows as she finally asked the one thing that had been bothering her the entire time, "Who the hell… are you? No, maybe I should be asking, what's your motive?"

He smiled mysteriously and promised, "Once this act is over, I'll tell you."
