I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 463

Zoe raised her head and stared blankly at the front as she looked exhausted.

She hadn't expected that Anthony would find his way here.

He was crazy too.

She saw how terrifying a man's strength could be for the first time.

W-Without Daniel tonight, I shudder to think what the consequences would have been.

Zoe squatted on the ground for an unknown amount of time. Her feet were numb when she got up.

Bracing herself against the door, she stood up, but she almost blacked out.

Someone knocked on the door when she was about to go to her room.

Stunned, she turned vigilant all at once.

Could it be Anthony the b*stard has returned?

Daniel's voice rang out as she touched the baseball bat sitting in the foyer. "I saw you grazed your hand, so I bought

you medicine and left it at the door. You can come out and get it later."

After Daniel spoke, he didn't hear anything inside.

He frowned and couldn't help but worry. He moved closer to the door. "Zoe, can you hear me?"

Did she pass out from crying?

When he took out his cell phone and was about to call Zoe, the door suddenly opened.

Zoe's hair was messy, and her eyes and nose were red. Her clothes were ruffled and wrinkled, and she had a

baseball bat in her hand.

Because of that, Daniel subconsciously took a step back while raising both his arms. "I don't mean anything else.

I'm just bringing you medicine."

As Zoe cried earlier, her voice sounded nasal. "Where's the medicine?"

Then, Daniel picked up the medicine from the ground and handed it to her.

Zoe reached out and took it, then lowered her head for a long time before saying, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's nothing, really."

Then, she looked at him. "Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Right, I'm leaving now."

After a moment of silence, Zoe said, "Do you want to come in?"

Daniel looked at her, then looked down. "Why don't you put that thing in your hand down first?"

Only then did Zoe realize she had been holding the baseball bat. So, she casually tossed it aside, turned around with

her medicine, and headed inside.

Daniel licked his lips, followed her in, and then shut the door behind him.

Zoe sat on the couch. Then, she lifted her arms only to notice that in addition to the torn skin, there were bruises

from Anthony's vigorous strangulation.

There were bruises on both arms, and it hurt.

While she was applying medicine to her injuries, Daniel said while sitting on the single couch next to her, "Has he

been harassing you recently?"

Zoe hummed. "He just went to the studio. However, now he found his way here."

"You've been together for years?"

Upon hearing that, Zoe looked up at him. "Why are you asking that?"

Daniel raised his hand to show he didn't mean anything wrong. "I'm sorry, it's just my curiosity."

Zoe continued, "We've been together since college for four years. We were going to get married last year, only to

find out he cheated."

"Marry?"

Then, Zoe slowly said, "Why are you in such a shock? Is getting married a crime?"

Daniel tugged the corner of his mouth. "No, I just thought…"

Zoe picked up his words and said lightly, "Maybe the concept of marriage is so foreign to you, and you never

thought about it."

Daniel did not deny it.

In fact, from the first moment Zoe saw him, she knew that Daniel believed in marriage-free life. His appearance

was attractive to girls, and he was obviously a Casanova.

After Zoe treated the injuries on her arms, she cleaned up the trash.

Seeing this, Daniel pointed to her face, "There's more there."

Zoe was taken aback. "What?"

Daniel continued pointing at the face. "There's still blood at that spot."

Upon hearing that, Zoe raised her hand to touch the face. "Here? Hiss…"

She pulled out her cell phone to look at it. Then, she saw a wound on the left chin that was as long as a fingernail

and was oozing faint blood.

Zoe opened the iodine bottle again, dabbed it with a cotton swab, and applied it to the wound.

However, it was inconvenient to do so while holding the cell phone in one hand. Someone suddenly picked up the

cotton swab from her hand when she was about to go to the bathroom to clean up in front of the mirror.

At some point, Daniel had taken a seat beside her. "I'll do it."

Her pupils dilated when Zoe looked up at him.

Before she could say anything, Daniel gently applied the medicine to the wound on her chin with the cotton swab.

Zoe stared at him with her eyes wide open.

When Daniel met her gaze, he was startled.

It was late at night, and the lights lent a gentle ambiance to the surroundings. Consequently, their breathing turned

ambiguous.

The atmosphere was just right for a single man and woman.

So, he moved the swab away to kiss her.

As their lips were about to meet, Zoe suddenly raised her hand and slapped his face, then said calmly, "You men

are really always up to nothing good."

Daniel was stunned.

Then, he put one hand over his lips and cleared his throat. He silently backed away from her to put some distance

between them. "I'm sorry. If nothing else, I'll get going…"

When Daniel just stood up, someone pulled on his hand.

He didn't expect Zoe to do this. He was caught off guard and fell onto the couch as she pulled him.

"You…"

Before Daniel could finish his words, Zoe sat astride him to cup his face and kissed it.

Their pheromones were spreading rapidly in the air. The atmosphere was getting heated.

After the long kiss, their breaths were haggard.

Then, Daniel tightened his arms around her waist as his voice turned hoarse. "Are you sure about this?"

In response, Zoe hooked his neck with her arms. Her lips turned all glossy and sparkly under the lights, and there

was a hint of flirtation in her eyes. "We're grown-ups. We're no longer virgins, and I don't need you to be

responsible for me, so stop dilly-dallying."

The look in Daniel's eyes deepened, and he resumed the kiss.

The temperature in the living room began to rise. Before long, only gasps and heavy breaths could be heard.

As a muffled thunderclap sounded outside the window, the rain poured for the rest of the night.

…

The following day, the cell phone beside her bed vibrated before Zoe woke up.

So, she answered the phone with her eyes closed, and Leanna's voice came. "Zoe, I'm going to Weavside today. I'll

probably be back tonight, or latest by tomorrow."

Zoe hummed in assent. She was sleepy, so she said instinctively, "Should I still go to that place today?"

Leanna stayed silent. Then, she replied, "Yes. However, don't be rash. I'll send you a message after I get off the

plane."

"Okay."

Afterward, Leanna said, "You can go back to sleep. Aidan's here. I'm ending the call now."

Hearing the disconnected tone coming from the cell phone, Zoe put away the phone and stuffed her head into the

pillow.

At this moment, she felt a hand placed on her waist.

Seconds later, she shot open her eyes, her drowsiness long gone.

She sat up abruptly to lift the covers and saw a topless man next to her. All at once, an explosion was set off in her

head.
