The thought was slowly spreading in her mind, like a tumor that not only wouldn't go away, but was getting bigger and bigger.

Her heart was in hidden agony.

Just at this time, suddenly Howard called her, "Zoey." He asked affectionately on the other end of the phone, "Are you okay now?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, how about you?" She was surprised when she got the call, but quickly calmed down and even got vaguely excited, just when she was trying to find him, he came to her door on his own.

That's why she put a particularly conciliatory tone to her voice.

Howard seemed to be motivated by her attitude, and said with a lifted spirit, "I was worried about you, and now that I've heard your voice I'm relieved."

"Worry? What do I have to worry about, I eat and sleep well."

"Is that so? But how come I heard that you haven't had a good time, you were captured and it took Ji Huai Zhi quite a while to get you out ..."

Zoey immediately interrupted him, "Who did you hear that from? There is no such thing!"

"Is it? But an empty cave is not a place for you ..."

"What the hell is wrong with you? If you just say that, I'm going to hang up now!" Zoey said without a trace of anger.

Regarding this rumor she had known about it for a long time, and she also knew that there would not be an impermeable wall in the world, although that incident Ji Huai Zhi had controlled it so well that not many people knew about it, but sooner or later, rumors would still come out eventually.

So she wouldn't give a damn about this, and the current exasperated tone was something she deliberately said for Howard to hear.

Howard really fell for it when he heard it, "I, I'm just concerned about you, really! Is Wyatt treating you well now?"

"Of course he's good to me!" She answered quickly, speaking very firmly.

But everyone knows that once you say something too fast and too firmly, it will be perceived as false.

Howard's tone became very worried, "Really? But with rumors like that, a man wouldn't mind, you, you're really okay?"

"I said it's fine is fine, if you say this again I'll hang up the phone ah!" Zoey purposely acted as if he had hit a sore spot and was eager to cover it up, very impatient.

Howard didn't dare to say more, but slowed down his tone and said, "I know you're having a hard time right now, so let's do this, let's meet, okay?"

"Meet? Do you know that the last time we met we were almost filmed? How do I still dare to meet you?" Zoey deliberately made a tone of wanting to meet but being afraid.

"I'm sorry for last time, it's my fault, but this time it's fine, let's meet in a safe place, my friend opened a new restaurant, we'll meet there then and find a private room to talk, the kind where no outsiders will disturb us, okay? I have something very serious to say to you too."

"Really?"

"Yeah, there's a lot I want to talk to you about, really." Howard slowly seduced her, "I've never been able to forget our old times, really, and I know you remember too, right?"

"I ..."

Zoey mimicked the tone of hesitant to speak, and Howard listened to her hesitant words over there with more certainty in his heart, it seems that she still hasn't forgotten about me! It seems she still hasn't forgotten me!

"To-morrow, to-morrow at this time in the afternoon I'll wait for you over here, I'll wait for you all the time, I'll wait for you one day if you don't come, and I'll wait for you three days if you don't come!" Finally he said.

She said nothing and hung up the phone.
