Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 404 My Chloe

Zoey's timing was so perfect that I couldn't help but wonder if Carter had sent her.

The next second, she glanced my way, winking and furrowing her brows in quick succession.

Alright, she was here for me.

Since Carter couldn't approach me himself, he sent her instead.

Zoey had always been overly friendly, previously clinging to Whitney like they'd been lifelong friends.

As a new person in the circle with no connections, she didn't raise suspicions.

Even if the Carlyn brothers found her suspicious, they couldn't figure out her motives.

To be fair, neither could I.

Still, I had to thank her for the phone she had given Whitney earlier. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to contact Carter so quickly this time.

Zoey was my lucky star.

Yael greeted her with a casual wave. "Mrs. Pearson, here to see Whitney again?"

Zoey nodded enthusiastically. "That's right! There's a high-end fashion show today, and I invited Whitney to come along. Since she's getting married soon, she might find an even better dress." "Thank you, Mrs. Pearson," Taylor interjected with a polite smile. "But Whitney's feeling unwell today and won't be able to go."

Of course, Taylor wouldn't let Whitney leave without permission, so he made up an excuse to decline.

Zoey shot back without missing a beat. "Is that so? Are you her spokesperson? She hasn't said a word-how would you know she doesn't want to go?"

I silently gave Zoey a thumbs-up in my mind.

Girl, you're amazing!

Taylor's usual tactics clearly didn't work on her.

Since her rebirth, Zoey had treated everyone as equals except for me, perhaps.

Even Carter had to give her some respect.

Watching Zoey radiating joy and confidence under the sunlight like a sunflower, I felt both happy and envious.

Even knowing her future held another untimely death, she embraced life to the fullest. Unlike me, I am constantly weighed down by the past and the future. Whitney's voice broke through my thoughts. "I want to go."

Taylor's expression darkened. "But your health-"
