Chapter 238
Zola handed a glass of water to Leopold. “Drink some.”
Leopold looked up at Zola and slowly took it. “Thank you.”
The two of them would become very uncomfortable when they were alone.
“It’s getting late, so you should go home quickly. I’ll take care of Joel. Thank you for tonight,” Zola said sincerely.
She was grateful Leopold had sent Joel back tonight and helped him go to the bathroom, wipe his body, and change into his pajamas.
“You’re welcome. Joel is also my friend,” Leopold said.
“Anyway, it’s getting late. Zola did not want to keep exchanging pleasantries with Leopold anymore.
There
e was an obvious hint of dismissal in her tone.
Leopold walked out of Zola’s bedroom and walked toward the living room.
Zola politely sent him to the door.
After Leopold walked out of the door, he turned around and wanted to tell her to rest early.
However, the door was already closed.
‘She must not want to see me very much,’ Leopold thought as he looked at the door in a daze and slowly walked into the elevator.
He walked in the neighborhood. It was snowing again in Beliey.
The snowflakes were so tiny that they were almost unnoticeable, Just like his heartbreak. He was so careful that he did not dare to be discovered by anyone.
The next day, Joel finally woke up and felt immense pain in his head.
He looked around. It took him a moment to realize that this was Zola’s home.
He quickly lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He saw Zola preparing breakfast in the open kitchen. She smiled when she saw him wake up.
Her eyes curved when she smiled, and Joel’s heart softened.
“You’re awake?” Zola asked him.
“Last night, I… Joel tried to recall what happened.
“You’re drunk like a dead pig.” Zola’s adjective was quite straightforward.

Zola placed two sets of breakfast on the dining table. “Alright, you’ve already scolded him for the entire night last night. He probably heard you even when he was miles away. Don’t drink like this next time.”
“Alright.” Joel nodded obediently.
Then, he ate the breakfast prepared by Zola.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, he praised her. “It’s so delicious. It’s so yummy. It’s the best in the world…
Zola was speechless.
It would be a waste for him to evaluate her cooking skills.
“How did I get here last night?” Joel suddenly asked as he ate.
Zola tightened her grip on the cutlery. Then, she said calmly, “Leopold sent you here.”
Joel’s eyes widened.
“He will find out sooner or later anyway.” Zola was very calm. Suddenly, she thought of something. “Oh no. I forgot to remind Leopold not to tell anyone outside. If Georgina finds out…
“Leopold knows what to do. He knows what to say and what not to say.” Joel trusted Leopold completely.
The only thing he was a little nervous about was whether Zola still had feelings for Leopold…
At that moment, the phone suddenly rang.
It was Joel’s phone.
He quickly went to the bedroom to take out his phone. When he saw the caller ID, he answered, “Mom.”
“I can’t believe you didn’t come home last night!” A roar came from the other end.
All these years, no matter how late he was outside, he would still go back every night.
“I was drunk, so I didn’t go back. I was with Xavier…” Joel tried to explain.
“Where’s Jaelynn?” Yasmin did not listen to her son’s explanation and asked loudly..
Joel glanced at Zola, who was having her breakfast slowly.
Joel gestured to Zola and went to the balcony to answer the call.
“Mom, Jaelynn and I don’t get along. Can you stop trying to matchmake us?” Joel said impatiently.
“What’s wrong with me matchmaking you? Although Jaelynn didn’t grow up in the Hayden family, she’s still Georgina’s biological daughter. The Hayden family has a big business. Moreover, aren’t you and Ethan good friends? Isn’t it just right for you to marry his sister?”

“We are friends, but feelings are feelings. These are two different things.” Joel said.
“Anyway, I don’t care. I’ve already told Georgina that this marriage is settled, Yasmin said decisively.
“You’re setting people up against their wills. Joel was upset.

“So what if I’m doing so? You’re way past your marriageable age and don’t even have a girlfriend…” Yasmin was stubborn and bossy.
“I have a girlfriend!” Joel said loudly.
“What?” Yasmin was surprised.
“To be honest with you, I spent the night at my girlfriend’s place last night,” said Joel.
“Who?” asked Yasmin.
“Our relationship is not stable yet. I’ll bring her back for you to see when it’s stable.” Joel knew that this was not the right time.
If his mother knew that he rejected Jaelynn because of Zola, she would probably be furious.
“Don’t lie to me.” Yasmin didn’t believe him.
“I know how to solve my problem. Don’t worry about me,” Joel said impatiently.

“You’ll take care of it yourself? You’ve been…” Yasmin was about to scold Joel when Joel interrupted her.
“Besides, Jaelynn is not interested in me. If you don’t believe me, you can call Georgina.” Joel did not want to talk anymore. “Let’s not talk about it.”
Then he hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Joel adjusted his emotions before returning to the dining table.
“Your mother?” Zola asked.
“She questioned me why I didn’t come home last night.” Joel looked helpless.
“What did you say?” Zola asked.
“I said I was staying over at my girlfriend’s.” Joel pretended to be casual.
Zola was surprised and blushed. “You didn’t tell your mother that it was me, did you?”
“Not yet. I’ll…” Joel was thinking about how to put it.
“We’ll talk about it after some time.” Zola took over what Joel could not say. “It’s indeed not appropriate
now.”
“I won’t let you down,” Joel promised.
“I believe you.” Zola smiled.

After the two of them had breakfast, Joel went to wash the dishes enthusiastically.
Just as the two of them were about to watch TV at home or make up for last night’s regret, Joel’s phone rang again.
“Mom, what do you want?” He sounded impatient.
“Get back here, now!” Yasmin was also furious.
“I’ll be back later,” Joel said and was about to hang up.
“If you don’t come back, you’ll see me dead!” Yasmin threatened.
Joel was speechless.
He had no choice but to say helplessly to Zola, “My mother asked me to g
“Okay.” Zola was considerate.
“I’ll come over as soon as I comfort my mother,” Joel promised.
“Okay.” Zola nodded.
“Last night… Joel still felt sorry.

back.
“I’ll wait for you to continue.” Zola smiled. Her smile was mixed with too much meaning.
“It’s a deal then.” Joel’s heart was racing.
The smile on his face was also undisguised and bright.
He quickly changed into his coat and hurriedly put on his shoes. He told Zola, “I’ll crawl over tonight even if I die. You must wait for me at home!”
“Okay.” Zola nodded.
“Zola, I love you so much,” Joel said lovingly.
“I love you too.” Zola smiled.
Joel left reluctantly, and Zola looked at Joel’s back reluctantly.
She thought that he would spend the day with her at home… ‘However, it doesn’t matter. I’ll wait for the night. He’ll come back at night, Zola thought.
Zola had been waiting for Joel at home with anticipation.
In the afternoon, the doorbell rang.
Zola opened the door excitedly. When she saw the person standing at the door, the smile on her face. instantly froze.
It was Yasmin, Joel’s mother.
