I could explain the situation to him just now, I was interrupted by
Zoe.
After that, I was so busy trying to ease Zoe’s suspicion that I forgot to tell him I was safe now.
“Harlan, I-“
I was about to explain, but Zoe had already stood up from the chair
“Don’t worry. I’m not interested in doing that kind of thing,” Zoe said icily. “Harlan, if you think I’m a fool who knows nothing but violence, then fine. Maybe I am a fool-a fool who thought that you were a great guy.”
After saying that, she turned around and stormed out angrily.
Harlan watched her go in stunned silence.
I pressed my palm against my forehead and sighed with regret.
Alas, I knew it would end like this. Harlan and Zoe-one impetuous and the other, irritable-were really a perfect match.
I stood up and said helplessly, “Harlan, you misunderstood Zoe. She wasn’t trying to make things difficult for me.”
Before I could explain what happened just now, Harlan suddenly locked eyes with me.
Angela’s Library
“Let’s talk somewhere else. Someone’s watching us,” he whispered in a low voice.
I immediately became vigilant. I subtly glanced around, trying to find out who was spying on us, and quickly followed Harlan out.
Soon, Harlan found a safe place for us to talk
“I saw that there was someone watching you and Zoe in the cafe, but I’m not sure who sent him,” he reported seriously
ALL of a sudden, I felt Lucky. “Fortunately, I Lied to Zoe, or else we would’ve been doomed.“
“What did you say to her?” Harlan asked in confusion.
“She discovered that Elena is my daughter. In order to convince her not to report this to Adam, I lied to her that I got pregnant after a one-night stand with you.”
“What?!” Harlan was dumbfounded.
“And I told her that I raised Elena alone and that you came to Roz Town after you found out that you had a daughter.”
Harlan scratched his head when he heard the elaborate lie. “It’s been hard enough to play the boyfriend part, and now I’m suddenly a dad? I’m not sure I can do this!”
I sighed heavily. “Well, we have no choice now.”
Harlan couldn’t help but bury his face in his hands and complain,
“Can’t she just give up on me? I can’t deal with two women at the same time!”
