Chapter 473
Zola maintained her composure and said, “Darling, remember to get a little gift for Jaclynn.”
Zola would never spend her own money to buy a gift for Jaclynn.
“Got it, Leopold replied hastily.
Jaelynn wore an awkward smile on her face.
Luckily, Joel was able to case the tension and quickly moved past this little incident.
The yacht arrived at its destination, a secluded island.
Although the program didn’t impose any particular challenges on the guests, there were still some small games.
The better a couple performed in these games, the more lavish their island lunch would be.
This time, the game tested the tacit understanding between spouses or partners.
It was Zola and Leopold’s turn.
Honestly, Zola really didn’t think she and Leopold had much tacit understanding
She was already prepared for a mediocre lunch today.
The director spoke up, “Are you ready?”
“Yes, they both responded.
“What is Leopold’s favorite food?” the director asked.
Both of them held cards in their hands.
Zola immediately drew out a potato.
And Leopold, he also drew out a potato.
“What is Leopold’s favorite color?”
Zola drew green.
Leopold held a card of the same color.
“How tall is Leopold?”
Without much thought, Zola answered, “6 feet.”
Then Zola saw that Leopold was holding the same card as her.
“What color underwear is Leopold wearing today?”
Zola frowned. What kind of tacit understanding test was this?
But she was a good sport and pulled out a white card.
Leopold showed a light blue one.
“No way,” Zola blurted out. “I picked out your underwear. It’s definitely white.”

“Is it?” Leopold looked surprised. “Could I have been mistaken?”
“If you don’t believe me, see for yourself,” Zola said, reaching for Leopold’s trousers.
“Zola, there are too many people watching. Isn’t it inappropriate” Leopold reminded her.
Zola realized it only then.
At this moment, the crew members had meaningful smiles on their faces.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zola said to the director, “Director, come over here and take a look yourself.”
The director cleared his throat. “For the sake of fairness, I’ll go check. Sorry, Mr. Cavanaugh
With his back to the camera, the director glanced at Leopold’s underwear and gave a confirming answer. “It’s white”
The staff couldn’t help but laugh even more.

The director couldn’t resist making a joke. “Mr. Cavanaugh, you didn’t expect that Zola knows you better than yourself, did
you?
“I indeed didn’t, but I’m honored” Leopold’s smile was evident, almost as if it was bathed in an inexplicable soft light under the dazzling sunlight.
“Now it’s Mr. Cavanaugh’s turn, the director continued. “Mr. Cavanaugh, feeling the pressure? Zola got all the answers right.”
Tin under a lot of pressure. If I don’t answer well, I’ll probably get scolded when I get back.”
Leopold’s remark made everyone laugh.
Zola hadn’t expected Leopold to be so humorous.
“First question, what is Zola’s least favorite seasoning?” the director asked.
Leopold looked at the card in front of him, hesitating slightly..
Zola never thought Leopold would know.
She didn’t hold out hope and told herself there was no need to feel disappointed.
But then, she saw Leopold draw a card with pepper written on it just like the one she had.
“Mr. Cavanaugh, why did you hesitate for so long? Were you guessing?” the director added for entertainmen
“I was just hesitating between choosing pepper or cilantro. Zola von’t eat either of these seasonings. But comp cilantro, Zola should dislike pepper more,” Leopold explained.
“Is that so?” the director asked Zola.
At this point, Zola could only nod.
Of course, it was indeed true.
Zola’s two least favorite seasonings were indeed pepper and cilantro.
She was just puzzled as to how Leopold knew she disliked pepper more, considering she never used either.
Was he guessing?
She mentioned it casually on a cooking show she appeared on in the past, stating that if she had to choose, she disliked pepper more?

So had Leopold watched that show?
Leopold was so busy. Did he have time to watch those seemingly meaningless gigs of hers?
“Second question. How old was Zola when she debuted?”
“Eighteen years, three months, and fifteen days,” Leopold answered without hesitation, without even drawing a card.
The director paused for a moment, surprised. “So precise.”
“Yeah
“I’ll double-check.” The director quickly checked on the spot.
The standard answer on the card was eighteen years.
Upon checking Zola’s debut date and her date of birth, it turned out to be the exact date Leopold had mentioned.
The director chuckled. “Mr. Cavanaugh, you answered too quickly. The audience might think I missed a question.”
“I’ll slow down next time, then.”
“Third question. Who is Zola’s favorite celebrity?”
Both drew the same name on their cards.
“Fourth question. What are Zola’s measurements?”
“Former or current?” Leopold asked.
Leopold’s counter-question left the director at a loss.
He sighed. “It’s what’s posted online.”
“What’s posted online is 32-24-35” Leopold effortlessly responded.
The director nodded hurriedly. “Correct. Can I ask you about the actual measurements, Mr. Cavanaugh?”
34-60-90.” Leopold didn’t hesitate to reveal.
Zola pursed her lips and wondered, ‘How did he know? Has he touched me? Well, even if he did, he wouldn’t be gauge my measurements with his hands, right? Oh, right. I remember now. I mentioned my measurements whe order a dress a few days ago. But wasn’t Leopold playing games with Jasmine at that time? He heard it and remen
“To the folks watching at home, did you hear that? Zola’s measurements need updating,” the director intentionally announced, then continued, “Last question, it’s not about testing tacit understanding, just a simple one.”
“Can we skip it?” Leopold chuckled.
“You can, but then there’ll be one less king crab at lunch.”
“Go ahead.” Leopold compromised.
The production team had countless ways to make them comply.

“When was your first time?” the director asked, knowing that these entertainment shows love to touch on borderline topics.
“Ladies first, Zola, you go ahead.” The director deliberately prompted, aiming to create a topic.
Zola lightly pursed her lips and answered, “About three or four years ago, on January 13th, 2019.”

“Do you remember that so clearly?” the director teased.
Indeed, the memory was vivid
After Zola finished, she glanced at Joel resting beside her,
Joel had been watching them intentionally or unintentionally, and at this moment, his gaze met Zola’s.
They both knew there was regret between them.
It seemed like fate had the best arrangement after all.
Since they were never meant to be together, having fewer ties might be for the best.
