"No, thank you." Zoey rejected him politely.Jay did not ask her any further. See? He was being phony after all. The night stretched on, and Zoe did not even know what time it was.She pondered the terrible prospect of sitting here the entire night.Putting aside all else, she was worried she might catch a cold from the chilly night.If that happened, how would she be well enough to participate in the second round of the competition?!Zoe was feeling anxious inside, but she did not dare to express her fears.After all, there was no point in feeling anxious.Right now, both of their phones could not be used to call others for help.What's more, it was so dark around them. There was nothing she could do.Zoe sighed.She managed to compose herself after the surge of emotions.She rationalized with herself that having overcome things that were way more difficult to swallow, like acknowledging the wrong woman as her mother, such a small issue like being trapped in a buildin

Zoe was stunned for a moment.She immediately kept her distance and said, "I'm sorry for waking you up."After they reunited, Zoe seemed to be always apologizing to him.It felt as if she greatly feared provoking him.Jay swallowed past his dry, parched throat.He was a light sleeper and did not sleep much during the night. Moreover, it was not easy to fall asleep with Zoe in his arms.He finally felt sleepy at daybreak.He released Zoe from his embrace and leaned her gently against the wall. He was afraid that if she suddenly woke up, she would be appalled at how intimately they were leaning against each other.He sat in another corner, leaning against the wall, and fell asleep."The sky's turning bright. The staff should be reporting to work soon," Zoe said as she stood up and stretched out her limbs.It was indeed uncomfortable sleeping on the floor the entire night."I'll take a look outside," Zoe said as she headed out."Zoe," Jay called out.Zoe stopped in her tracks

Zoe instinctively closed her eyes when Wynn blew hard at her eyes."Feel better?" Wynn asked, slightly anxious.Zoe blinked her eyes cautiously. She felt like the foreign object was gone.As the corners of her lips lifted in a bright smile, she suddenly looked in the direction of the door.Wynn followed the direction of Zoe's gaze and looked over as well.That was when both of them saw the director and judges standing at the door of the rehearsal room.Wynn and Zoe immediately widened the gap between them.There was nothing between them, but their sudden pulling apart made it look like they had a guilty conscience and prime for a misunderstanding to occur.The director joked, "Zoe and Wynn are getting along really well, aren't they?""We're just rehearsing the scene," Wynn explained in a hurry."Candice isn't here?" Jay changed the topic.He directed the question at Wynn and ignored Zoe.Zoe thought that Jay would have gone home to sleep after being trapped the entire night

After the meal, Cordy set off for the capital.She had never told Zoe and Quinn about her true identity. She felt that her relationship with them in the capital was not deep and she only went back to placate them. Zoe and Quinn did not need to know about her life in the capital.It was cold in the capital, but this time, Cordy went prepared with thicker and warmer clothes. Sean picked her and Richard from the airport.After they got into the car, he said "Don't even think about bringing Dicky to stay in a hotel. We've prepared a room for the two of you which we've furnished and cleaned at least three times.""Okay." Cordy did not think about going back on her word.She could not retract her words once she said it even though she detested the idea deep down in her heart.Sean did not pay further attention to Cordy. Instead, he looked at Richard through the rear view mirror and asked, "Dicky, have you thought of where you'd like me to bring you to play in your visit to the capita

Sean was taken aback too.Why would Cordy like something that only little girls fancied?But he did not reject their requests. He asked Richard, "Do you want one too?""I can give it a try." Richard nodded.Richard did not like snacks. To be accurate, he didn't like eating food from outside. But if Mommy liked it, he was willing to give it a go."Sure."Sean walked into the milk tea shop.Just then, a man walked out.Sean was stunned for a moment.Lucas was shocked too.The moment both men brushed past each other, Lucas saw Cordy and Richard standing along the street.Cordy and Richard spotted him too.Richard had thought he would never see Lucas again. The sudden meeting made him lose control of his emotions as he yelled out, "Daddy!"Lucas' brows furrowed.He had told Richard before that he was not his daddy.But before Lucas could speak, that girl sipping on milk tea walked toward Lucas in all smiles, wrapping her arms naturally around Lucas' arm. Her eyes lit up when
