It never occurred to Zoe that the gathering mentioned by Henry would be a meeting of his friends.
Therefore, when she stepped into the box and saw the young men sitting there, she was a little confused.
“Henry, Zoe, you are here!”
Stephen was the first one to greet her. When the others saw Zoe, they were first stunned for a while and then came to their senses one by one.
They followed Stephen greeted her in a hurry.
“I’ve always heard that Henry has hidden a stunner in Julio. I finally see her today.”
“Hello, Zoe . My name is Max Nixon.”
“Hello, Zoe. I am Jake Bissel.”
Zoe was surprised.
Facing their enthusiasm, Zoe smiled stiffly and nodded in response.
Secretly tugging at the corner of Henry’s clothes, she said in a low voice with a stiff smile, “Henry, why didn’t you tell me that we come here to meet them?”
She had heard of these young men.
As the descendants of the four families in Eqitin, they and Henry grew up together. It was obvious that they had a good relationship. The most important thing was that each of them would make countless women scream crazily.
It was rare for them to gather here today.
Henry smiled and held her hand.
“Since you refuse to go back to Eqitin with me on new year’s day, I have to ask them to meet you in Julio. ”
Zoe didn’t know what to say.
The new year would come after half a month. Henry had asked her once if she wanted to go to Eqitin.
She refused at that time. Although the relationship between them was growing day by day, it was not the time yet.
Hearing what he said now, although she thought this man was a little childish, she also felt sweet at such a time.
After all, it was obvious that these people were very important to Henry.
He had specially asked them to meet her here, which proved that she was also important to him.
Zoe smiled slightly and glanced at him. Then she pinched his waist quietly.
The man didn’t show his pain, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.
They all sat down again.
Henry introduced Zoe to them seriously again and then ordered the servants to serve the dishes.
With his friend around, Zoe was restrained at first.
Fortunately, the group of people was about the same age, and Max was good at activating the atmosphere. Not long after, Zoe became familiar with them.
It was well-known that these young men were hard to get along with for other people, but they were very easy-going to someone of their group.
Zoe had met Stephen before, so she knew much about him. As the second son of the Nixon family, Max had been studying advanced AI technology, and he had even given a cute little AI toy dog to Zoe as a gift for her.
Jake didn’t follow his father’s path. Instead, he chose to study medicine. Although he was young, he was already a famous surgeon.
He was steady and didn’t talk much. He always smiled lightly, giving people a sense of warmth like a spring breeze.
They had a happy dinner.
Halfway, Zoe went to the restroom. On the way, she met Declan Wright.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
As the most outstanding person in the young generation of the Wright family, Declan had always been valued by Mrs. Wright.
When Zoe was a child, she had a good relationship with Declan. However, as Declan grew up, he went abroad to study for a few more years. As a result, they were estranged from each other.
Declan was a little surprised to see her.
“Zo, why are you here?”
Zoe didn’t dislike him. She smiled and said, “Come out for dinner.”
Declan glanced at the box behind her.
Peony.
His eyes darkened.
There was a private room in the Mountain Club that had never been opened to the public. It was just Peony.
It was said that it was booked by someone for many years. Even if the person did not come, it was not open to the public.
He once accidentally inquired about it and knew that the person was Henry Han.
Declan looked at her and said, “You get along well with him.”
Zoe knew who he was referring to.
Mrs. Wright didn’t agree with her to be with Henry, so Declan must have known it. Therefore, Zoe had no intention of talking to him more, but nodded slightly.
“If there is nothing else, I’ll go in first.”
Then she turned around and walked to the box.
Two steps later, she heard the voice of Declan behind her.
“He has a daughter. Do you know that?”
Zoe stopped in her trac
” I don’t know if that child’s mother is just Selena, but at least, until now, the engagement has not been terminated.”
“Zoe, we grew up together. I don’t want you to be cheated, nor do I want you to be hurt. So I’ll tell you this. As for whether you believe it or not, and how you will deal with it, you should decide it by yourself!”
After saying that, Declan left.
Zoe stood there with a blank mind.
Her face also turned pale.
A chill ran up from the soles of her feet, straightly to her head!
Her whole body was cold and her heart was pounded!
He has an… engagement?
And a child?
After a while, the door of Peony opened from inside. Henry walked out and saw her standing in the corridor. He walked over.
“Why are you standing here?”
When he approached her, he found that she didn’t look good. He couldn’t help frowning.
He touched her forehead and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Zoe stared at him.
The man frowned, with undisguised concern and worry on his face.
But at this moment, it was suddenly full of irony.
She shook her head, looked away and said lightly, “I’m fine.”
Then she turned around and walked into the room.
In the following hours, Henry felt that the woman beside him was obviously absent-minded.
She was no longer happy as before. Instead, she was preoccupied with something.
Thinking that she had gone to the restroom before, the man seemed to understand something.
But he said nothing.
After returning home in the evening, Zoe went to the bathroom to take a shower early. When she came out, she found that the man went to the study and said that there was something urgent to deal with in the company.
She didn’t care and went to bed.
That night, she had a dream.
Many things happened in her busy dream.
Some were about the memories when she was a child, some were about the matters when she was abroad a few years ago, and some vague pictures about the man.
Finally, the words Declan said to her in the dark corridor and his eyes with sympathy and worry were fixed in her dream.
Zoe suddenly woke up.
Outside the window, the sun was shining. It was already ten o’clock in the morning.
She was shocked and turned around. The bed was empty. The cold temperature reminded her that the man had left for a long time.
