Bob was about to argue with Sam when Jay suddenly said, "I do. I believe Bob."Bob naturally knew that Sam wanted to goad him into bringing Zoe along to meet them.They had been dating for months, but he never brought her along to meet his best friends.There were times when Sam pressured him so much he would give in, but Zoe would say no whenever he asked.He knew Zoe did not feel safe after the trouble between her and the Levines, and no one was aware that they were dating, save for Zoe's best friends Cordy and Quinn. Moreover, Zoe was worried that the Levines would harass Bob if too many people knew, and she definitely did not want that, insisting that she knew Nancy Levine too well. It would take some time for Nancy's rage to ease, until she would not go out of her way to harass Zoe—only then could they be together without any issues.Naturally, Bob respected Zoe's decision, though it was more apt to say that Zoe mattered more to him than his friends.That was why he would

After dinner, Bob hurriedly left with Sam and Jay. He had always celebrated his birthday that way—he would accompany his parents and elders at home and eat with them in the morning, while it was his time after dinner. They were about to leave Davis Villa when Yulia suddenly stopped him. "Bob," Yulia said. "Bring Cora along." "How can I enjoy myself if I bring her along?" Bob became quite displeased. "You can have a great time just the same. She can join you." "But we're all men…" "So, I asked Cora to keep an eye on you," Yulia said overbearingly. "In short, I'll leave her in your care." "Why me?" Bob was infuriated. "Jay is the closest to her among the three of us. He's her uncle. You should leave her in Jay's care instead." Jay glanced at Bob—the latter was good at shirking his responsibility. "I don't care who's in charge. In short, you guys have to take care of her. Nancy and I want to play poker at home, so you've got to keep an eye on her. If anything happens,

"Do you live around here?" Cora asked her. "Hmm." "This neighborhood seems pretty good," Cora said lightly. "So, you think I should stay in the slums, don't you?" Zoe sounded rather blunt. "I didn't mean that. I also feel quite guilty to see Mom treat you that way..." "Okay, that's enough. You don't have to tell me about your good relationship with your mother." Zoe interrupted her. Cora then stopped talking. Though she did not treat Zoe badly, Zoe did not like her. "Let's go," Jay said to Cora as he put down his spoon. "I haven't finished eating." Cora liked to eat apple pies very much. Besides, the apple pies here were very nice. "I'll get the leftovers packed up for you," Jay said. "Get into the car first." Jay handed the car key to Cora. She nodded obediently. "Okay. Thank you, Uncle Jay." After that, she grabbed the key and left first. Zoe sneered. Jay was nice to everyone. It was in the middle of winter, and he would rather suffer in the cold to pack

After all, Bob knew that Jay was John's relative. So, he must have known a lot. "I don't think so, but it's hard to say," Jay answered after ruminating over it for a while. He had been framed by Cordy a few days ago because he failed to fulfill the task that John had given him, so he felt slightly guilty. He wondered how Cordy was in Rocktown now. He did not see her come back after she went there, and John also did not come back all that while. Although he was unclear about the current situation of the Stuart family, he instinctively knew that it was very tense. "Johnny is the smartest among us. He's the most handsome, and he's had the best academic results since childhood. However, he can’t lead the kind of life he wants freely." Bob sighed helplessly. "Is the greater the power, the greater the responsibility?" "You don't have to meddle in that." Sam said to Bob, "People like you and I who sit around and do nothing won't understand Johnny's ambition. Just drink your

Zoe did not react for a while after Jay spoke. It was because Zoe just raised a polite suggestion casually. However, he took it seriously. Jay lowered his eyes and was about to speak. "I'll go and run the bath for you." Zoe got out of bed. She brushed past him and went to the bathroom outside to run him a bath. After that, she returned to her bedroom to find men's pajamas and shorts for him. Bob had not left his clothes there, because he had never spent the night there. She felt that he might want to stay the night there that night, so she bought him matching pajamas when she bought the sling dress, as well as two pairs of shorts for him. Zoe came out and said to Jay, "Just put on the pajamas for the time being." "Thank you." After she gave him the clothes, she brushed past him and then entered her bedroom. Jay watched as she squatted and cleaned up Bob's vomit. She had grown up in Levine Manor and led a spoiled life. She never did any household chores, let alon
