Chapter 42 I Want to Give You a Gift

A man and a woman went to a jewelry store to buy rings – did this mean something big was happening between them?

Before Ashley could speak, Howard was already anxious.

But before Zoey could finish speaking, he hurriedly explained, "No, no, we met just now. Nothing else, really!"

"Really? You just happened to meet each other? That's really too much of a coincidence." Zoey said with a forced smile.

Zoey thought to herself, "Coincidence? Do you think I am easy to be fooled?"

Vivian, who had been watching them coldly all this time, grew anxious. She pulled Zoey's hand, about to speak.

Vivian thought to herself, "The relationship between them is not simple at first glance. How can you believe their nonsense?"

Zoey held her down and winked at her.

‘Trust me.’

Vivian pursed her lips and suppressed her anxiety.

At this time, Ashley also came back to her senses and hurriedly explained, "Yes, yes, we just met outside. It’s not a date..."

"Shut up!" Howard's expression changed drastically. He glared at her and said to Zoey, "It's like this. I was thinking about how it would be difficult for you to stay with Wyatt, so I wanted to buy you a small gift. Really."

"Then I met Ashley outside, and came in together. You have to believe me."

To be honest, Howard's appearance was not bad. He was gentle and refined. If he was walking on the streets, he might really be able to bewitch a group of girls. Therefore, his explanation was quite convincing.

Vivian was so anxious that she was afraid that Zoey would be fooled, so she pulled her hand hard.

Zoey's expression did not change. She looked at him with a smile as if she did not feel that there was anything wrong with his words at all.

"So you came here to pick a gift for me?"

Seeing Zoey was smiling, as if completely oblivious to his lie, Howard felt his heart calm down a little and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief,

"Yes, that's it. I thought you've been working too hard lately, so I wanted to get you a little gift."

At this point, he still did not realize that he had just walked himself into a big trap...

"Oh, really? That's so considerate of you......"

Zoey was still smiling. Her bright and beautiful eyes were as exceptionally moving as autumn water.

Howard's heart was burning with passion. He had already let go of his guard against her. He said without thinking, "It's okay. I can give you any gift if I want. Who else would I give it to – Ashley?"

Zoey glanced at Ashley, not surprised to see that Ashley's face was stiff. Zoey laughed in her heart and pretended to be in an embarrassing position, “You can’t say that. Ashley is also very good to me."

"But she's not as good as you, really." Howard looked at her eagerly. He hadn’t seen Zoey in days, and now she had become much more beautiful. He was secretly jealous of Wyatt, thinking to himself, "How lucky could Wyatt be to have Zoey by his side?"

"Why can't I have that luck?"

"But fortunately, she is still loyal to me. Look, didn't she immediately take the lie I casually made up?" He continued to think to himself.

"Is that so? I’ve got my eye on this necklace..." Zoey suddenly said.

Without thinking, Howard blurted out, "If you like it, I will buy it for you!"

Ashley's face twisted beyond belief at his words. She had her eye the necklace too! However, Howard wanted to buy it for Zoey!

"Why Zoey?" Ashley thought to herself…
