Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 737

Chapter 737 I Apologize

The moment Zoe came to the workshop, she got a call from Leanna. "So what's up, Nana? Did you see the boy?"

"Yep. I'll send you a video. He's starting to walk."

Zoe said, "Ooh, so he's going to call me godmother soon. You gotta teach him that."

Leanna smiled. "Of course." A moment of silence later, she said, "What about you and Brandon?"

Zoe went into Leanna's office and plopped down on the couch, then she sighed. "I'll give it a try. Everything aside, he'd make a good husband. He's mature, calm, collected, loves his family, has a stable job, opinionated, and independent. We can talk things out, and he would never cross any lines. I can see why my mom likes him." She continued, "If I try to get along with him, I might fall for him. Love is supposed to be nurtured after all."

Leanna pursed her lips. Well, she can't see the relationship through with Daniel, so might as well cut her losses and start anew. A moment later, Leanna said, "There's something I want to tell you."

"What is it?"

Leanna held her phone tightly. "I want to back out of the fashion show."

Zoe froze. "Why? This might be your big break."


Leanna told Zoe what Waylen suggested, and she softly said, "Sorry, but I have no choice. The show is in two to three months, and that means I'll have to delay my healing until then, but I can't. The sooner I settle this, the sooner the boy can be released from his pain."

Zoe said, "Don't apologize to me. I can understand why you're doing this. This is fine, but I just think it's a shame that you're backing out after all the effort you made. Still, there will be opportunities in the future. Once you and the boy are fine, we can find more big breaks."

Leanna whispered, "Thank you."

The workshop was something she and Zoe built together. She might be the designer, but without Zoe handling everything else, she could never have enough quiet moments to come up with any designs. The fashion show wasn't just her big break; it was also a chance to expand their brand and fame. A lot of people put in a lot of work for this, but now they had to give up because of her.

Zoe said, "Oh, don't be a stranger. If it weren't for you, I'd still be an office worker instead of a business owner. I'd probably be bald from all the stress. It's a busy period for us, so backing out is a good idea too. We can have more time for ourselves. Did you tell them about it, though?"

Leanna nodded. "I told Lewis. He wanted me to think it through, but I had already come to my decision."

"I see. We'll make the arrangements post-cancellation, then we'll talk when you come back."

"Alright. And Zoe…"

Zoe interrupted, "Don't say thank you, and don't apologize."

Leanna smiled. "Okay."

Zoe hung up and was about to go back to work, but her phone rang again. When she saw who the caller was, she hesitated for a while before picking it up. "What is it, Elijah?"

"Do you have some time, Zoe? I need to talk to you."

Zoe went to the restaurant across from the workshop in the afternoon. She took a menu from the waiter and handed it to Elijah, then she smiled. "You treated me to a lot of good stuff before. Time for me to repay the favor. Sorry, the place isn't as expensive as you might think, though."

"It's okay," said Elijah. He looked through the menu and made his orders, then he handed it back to the waiter. "That's all." Once the waiter was gone, he looked at Zoe. "I want to talk about Dan—"

Zoe interrupted, "I don't mind you catching up with me, but some people should never be brought up."
