Chapter 757 Who Else but His Ex

Since Leanna was back, Zoe suggested having pizza, which she had been craving for ages.

Of course, Brandon didn't have much of an objection as he went along with them.

Once they were at the pizzeria, the waiter came over with the menu, and Brandon naturally passed it to Zoe.

Zoe ordered pizzas that she and Leanna liked, then asked Brandon, "What would you like to eat?"

Brandon replied, "I'm fine with anything. Just order whatever you like."

Zoe looked at the menu, then ordered two more pizzas.

Having dined with Brandon recently, she could guess his preferences.

Zoe passed the menu to the waiter. "We'll have these for now. Thank you."

The waiter nodded lightly. "Any drinks?"

Zoe said, "Two glasses of fruit juice…"

With that, she glanced at Brandon. "What about you?"

Brandon smiled. "I'll have a glass of fruit juice too."

The waiter left after nodding.

Leanna asked, "Do you not drink alcohol?"

Brandon replied, "I rarely drink, and I'm not good at holding my liquor either."

Leanna smiled. "That's nice."

Leanna and Brandon chatted sporadically. Brandon's replies were well-paced and thoughtful, making him rather decent.

Soon, the pizzas were served.


Zoe coughed. "Alright, let's eat. We can chat later."

Just then, Brandon's phone rang. He checked the incoming call displayed on the screen, and his expression changed slightly.

When Zoe saw that, she asked tentatively, "What's the matter?"

Brandon rejected the call, set his phone to silent mode, and placed it face-down on the table. "Nothing."

However, the person on the other end of the line had no intention of giving up. The phone vibrated continuously from its position on the table.

Leanna said, "It must be something important. You should answer it."

Brandon picked up his phone again and frowned a little. Then, he stood up and said to Zoe, "You can start first. I'll be right back."

Zoe nodded. "Alright."

When Brandon left, Leanna watched his receding figure as she asked, "Has he done this before?"

Zoe didn't seem to mind as she grabbed a piece. "A few times, yes."

Leanna looked away. "Could it be his ex?"

"Maybe. Who else can make him put on that expression?"

"Haven't you asked him about it?"

Zoe sighed, placing a slice of pizza on Leanna's plate. "Why would I ask him that when he's never asked me about what happened in the past? He had a point when he said everyone has experienced relationships before, so it shouldn't matter as long as it's over."

Leanna said, "Are you dumb? Can't you see that it's not over yet? Since he's seeing you, he should cut off all ties with his ex."

When she was chatting with Brandon just now, she had a good impression of him, but she didn't expect this to happen all of a sudden.

Zoe drank some juice as she stared at the food, then said suddenly, "Even if they delete all means of contacting each other, it doesn't count as cutting off ties if they can't forget about each other."

Leanna opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Zoe hadn't asked too much about Brandon's ex not because she was a gracious person—she simply didn't care.

More accurately, she also had someone she couldn't forget about.

As such, she could understand how Brandon felt.

Ten minutes later, Brandon came back with an apologetic expression on his face. "Sorry for that."

Zoe smiled. "It's okay. The food's ready, so go ahead and dig in."

Brandon nodded. The two didn't say more about the call, or who it was from.

Zoe knew that this was something Brandon refused to share.

Brandon also knew that Zoe wasn't interested in his circumstances at all.

The two were simply following their parents' decisions since they couldn't be with the people they loved.

As long as they matched each other, they didn't care who was sitting opposite them.

After dinner, Brandon sent them to the ground floor of Zoe's home.

Zoe waved him goodbye. Since she had eaten too much, she took Leanna's hand and began strolling around the community.

Zoe said, "Nana, did you understand what Daphne said today?"
