Chapter 190
Kylie would have such doubts for two reasons.
Firstly, it was because of Zola’s tone. When she said that there was a silver lining, there was some warmth in her tone. Zola was not a girl who knew how to lie, nor was she good at hiding her emotions. The meaning she expressed should be that there was another luster in her life.
Secondly, Ethan said that Leopold would take care of Zola. If they could be honest with each other and resolve the misunderstanding. Kylie believed they would be together soon
“Why would you think that?” Zola asked.
She still retained some of her original personality and there was an exaggeration in her voice.
Kylie frowned.
“How could it work between Leopold and me? It’s already good enough that he can care about himself. How would he dare to approach me? Leopold and I… Zola was silent for a moment. Then, she said, I admit I’m unwilling to give up. I’ve been single for years and have been waiting for Leopold. I love him so much that even if I know he doesn’t like me and has slept with many women outside, I still fantasize that he might return to my side when he has had enough fun and seen enough. Kylie held her phone tightly, hesitating if she should say what was on her mind.
Zola continued. “Previously, I was unwilling to admit that I still had feelings for Leopold. I wasn’t trying to lie to you guys. I was lying to myself. I was deceiving myself to make myself look carefree and show that Leopold didn’t affect me. But in fact. I was unhappy because of him. Most of the time, I worked and drank desperately because I wanted to forget him. I didn’t want my heart to hurt so much…“
“Zola, actually… Kylie wanted to tell her the truth.
“But I’m fine now. I’ve let it go.” Zola interrupted Kylie and said, “I’m in love with someone else.”
“What?” Kylie was surprised.
“I don’t believe it myself. It turns out that falling in love with someone else can happen that quickly.” Zola smiled. “When I confessed to Leopold, we were fine that night. However, he hugged another woman and kissed her passionately the next day. I thought that he was deliberately provoking me. I thought perhaps he rejected me for some reason. Now, I realize that I was overthinking. Our feelings can change easily.”
“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Kylie did not want to doubt Zola, but this was too abrupt.
How could she have fallen in love with someone else so quickly in such a difficult situation?
She was even worried that Zola would be deceived.
“I didn’t want to tell you at first. I feel that it’s a little too fast. I’m afraid you guys will think I’m fickle,” Zola said shyly.
How could she be called a fickle woman?
In the huge and messy entertainment industry, she could not be more pure.
Moreover, she liked someone for eight years.
“But I’m afraid that you guys are worried about me. It’s better to be honest. Zola took a deep breath and seemed to have mustered up her courage before saying, “It’s Joel.”
Kylie was so surprised that her phone almost fell to the ground. ‘Did I hear wrongly? Zola and Joel?
Although she did not see the two of them interact much, she felt they were not unrelated!
“You think it’s unbelievable too, don’t you? I treated Joel as a friend before. Who knew he would say that he had liked me for many years? He is such a cheerful and outgoing person. I didn’t expect him to have a crush on me for so long. I didn’t notice it before. I was so touched because of Joel”
“Touching doesn’t mean love… Kylie reninded.
“I know you would say that, but sometimes being touched can turn into liking. Think about it. Other than love at first sight, don’t two people need to cultivate their feelings? And why would they suddenly fall in love when they cultivate feelings? Isn’t
it because one party does something that touches the other? I didn’t think I would like Joel before, but now that I’ve accepted him, I don’t think I can reject him”
Kylie could feel the happiness Zola was talking about.
This was the completely different state of life that Zola had given her last night
No matter what Zola said last night, she did not feel Zola’s anticipation and hope for life.
But now, she felt it.
So, is it over between Zola and Leopold just like that? Kylie wondered.

Chapter 190
Thinking of Leopold….
Kylie endured it and did not say everything in the end.
Since Zola had let go of it, she couldn’t leave any regrets for the person involved.
“You and Quintina, don’t worry about me. I will live a good life. When the day comes that I have nowhere to go, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll ask you for your help. Zola said in a high voice.
“Alright,” Kylie agreed.
“That’s it then I’m going to learn how to cook,” said Zola.
“What?” Kylie was shocked.
“Now that I don’t know what I can do, I might as well start with the most basic life skills, Zola said seriously.
She seemed to be trying her best to live.
If Joel could bring light to Zola’s world, she would only choose to give them her blessing.
“Then I won’t disturb you from learning your skills. Kylie was amused.
“Next time, I’ll invite you and Quintina over for dinner,” Zola said.
“It’s a deal,” Kylie said and hung up.
Kylie let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, she did feel tired.
From the moment she got involved in the lawsuit to the accident of Zola, she had barely slept in peace.
She yawned and slept until she woke up naturally.
Kylie stretched and was about to order takeout when she suddenly remembered even Zola was learning how to cook….. She was not interested in cooking, but since Joseph often came over, she could not let Joseph eat takeout every time. After some hesitation, she changed her clothes and opened the door. She prepared to go to the supermarket to buy groceries.
As soon as the door opened, she saw two people outside the door, one tall and one short.
Kylie frowned.
This was not a weekend. She wondered why Ethan brought Joseph over.
And they waited there without making any sound.
“Im going overseas. I’ll leave tomorrow, Ethan explained, “Tve brought Jos over. He’ll stay here for a week. Lorenzo happens to be going back to his hometown this week”
Kylie suddenly remembered that Ethan was overseas when he had the accident. Then, he came back. She guessed he was dealing with work again now.
There was an indescribable feeling in her heart, so she said calmly, “Okay”
“Mommy, are you going out?” Joseph looked at Kylie and asked.
“Yeah” Kylie nodded.
“Where are we going? Can I go with you?” Joseph asked warmly.
“To.. buy groceries,” Kylie said, “Then cook”
“Mommy, are you going to cook yourself?” Joseph was very excited.
Ethan also looked at her.
He probably remembered the last time… It was a mess.
