Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 828

Chapter 828 Not So Welcoming Anymore

In the morning, Zoe was still in dreamland when she was awakened by the doorbell.

She buried her head in the blanket, trying to shut out the sound. However, the doorbell continued to ring instead of stopping.

She then picked up her phone and glanced at the time, only to see that the delivery person had called her 20 minutes ago.

After tossing and turning in bed for a while, she got up reluctantly.

She took a deep breath and stumbled to the door. As she opened it, she mumbled, "Sorry, I was asleep and didn't hear—"

"G'morning."

As the voice of the visitor sounded, Zoe came to a pause and instantly woke up.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, incredulously asking, "Why are you here?"

Not quite understanding what she meant, Daniel tilted his head. "Who else would it be besides me?"

"I..."

Zoe took her phone again and saw that the delivery person had sent her a text message, saying that he had gone to deliver to other places first and would come later since she didn't answer the phone.

She took a deep breath and looked back at Daniel, her grumpiness after she woke up immediately bubbling. "What are you doing?"

Daniel held up the paper bag in front of him. "I brought you breakfast."

Baffled, Zoe demanded, "Not to mention whether this breakfast is necessary or not, don't you have the password to my house? Why did you have to wake me up just to open the door for you?"

"Given our current relationship, I thought it would be impolite for me to just enter your house."

Is it polite to wake me up like this, then? Zoe thought.

Daniel continued, "Eat your breakfast before going back to sleep."


"Thanks, but no thanks."

As she was about to close the door, Daniel reached out and stopped her. "Your mother told me that you have a habit of not eating breakfast. She asked me to watch you eat every morning."

Huh? Am I not fully awake? Why don't I have any impression of him talking about this with Mom when he came over the other day?

Seeing her confusion, Daniel explained, "I went to your house again after you left yesterday."

"Didn't I tell you—"

"It was your father who called and asked me to go. They told me that you had returned to Highside and asked me to take good care of you."

"Oh.

"They probably just want to bring you and me closer together. You don't have to pay them any attention. After all, you and my parents won't meet again in the future. There is no need—"

"Did you tell your mother something?" Daniel suddenly asked.

Zoe was taken aback. "What?"

"When she looked at me yesterday, I felt that there was some...hostility in her eyes. She wasn't as welcoming as before."

Zoe really felt like she hadn't fully woken up yet and was a bit confused.

The night before yesterday, she did talk to her mother and mentioned that she had someone she liked, but she didn't give any specifics. She just said that although she liked that person very much, they couldn't be together because he was against marriage.

It was probably just these scattered bits of information. She definitely didn't reveal that the person she was talking about was Daniel!

Zoe looked at him suspiciously. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Daniel raised an eyebrow. "It was their instructions for me to watch you eat breakfast and take care of you. If you don't eat, I'll call your father and tell him that I didn't complete my mission."

Zoe pondered for a bit.

Before long, she took the breakfast from his hand. "I'll eat it myself. Thanks! Your mission is complete."

As she spoke, she immediately closed the door.

Daniel only stood at the door for a while.

Soon, he touched his eyebrows and turned away.

There was no need for him to rush this kind of thing. He had to take it slow.

Inside the house, Zoe sat on the couch and ate her breakfast as she called her mother.

After the call connected, she cautiously asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I'm exercising outside." Sheila urged, "What's the matter? Hurry up and tell me!"

Zoe took small bites of the bread. "Well... Daniel brought me breakfast just now. He said it was your and Dad's idea. Can you please tell him not to come anymore? I don't want to trouble him."

Sheila took the phone and walked to a quieter place. "Trouble? He's doing it willingly. I didn't force him with a knife."

That tone. As I thought...

Zoe hesitated and began, "Mom, you..."
