When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0696

Zach suddenly said, “My mom has been asking about you a lot lately.”

“About what?” Winter still maintained a level of respect when it came to Phoebe. After all, she once gifted her a royal emerald bracelet. Speaking of which, she hadn’t returned the bracelet yet…

“She’s been asking why you never come by our house anymore. She wondered if I’ve done something to make you angry.”

“And what did you say?”

He cleared his throat and said, “I told her I accidentally got you pregnant.”

“What?” Winter’s eyes widened in shock, but Zach chuckled. “I’m just joking.”

She rolled her eyes. This guy was insane!

Zach continued, “I told her that you’ve been busy with work and ignored me, so I threw a tantrum and made a big scene that pissed you off.”

At least he knew how to take the blame on himself.

Winter’s lips curved upward at the thought.

Zach noticed she seemed to be in a good mood and seized the opportunity to suggest, ‘How about we resume our partnership? Just hear me out. First, we’re definitely in for a scolding if our moms find out we broke up, right?”
