Not long after Yvette left, Jeremiah was heading back when he saw Zoey standing not far away with an angry look on her face.

A cold look flashed in his eyes as he recalled what had happened the previous night. He approached her slowly without saying a word.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Zoey, who hadn't realized her position yet, thought she would be pampered in the Lane family just as she was in the Yandell family. "What should I say?" Jeremiah asked in return.

Zoey was taken aback. "We are engaged! I am your fiancée; why can't I touch you?"

She was too proud to ask Jeremiah about Yvette. After all, if it got out that he liked Yvette, Zoey's reputation would be the one that would suffer.

"Didn't we agree to do it after we're married?" Jeremiah's tone was gentle but laced with impatience.

Zoey clenched her fists. "Aren't you being too conservative?"

Jeremiah's dislike for her peaked at that moment. Just then, Jackie called. Jeremiah took the call as he reassured Zoey, "We'll talk when I get back." Zoey had to suppress her temper. "I'll go home first, then."

She had wanted to move into Lane Mansion, but Jeremiah told her the place was still being renovated. Once I was ready, she could move in.

After watching her get into her car and leave, Jeremiah took out his phone again. It turned out that Jackie hadn't called him.
