Chapter 757 Who Else but His Ex

Since Leanna was back, Zoe suggested having pizza, which she had been craving for ages.

Of course, Brandon didn't have much of an objection as he went along with them.

Once they were at the pizzeria, the waiter came over with the menu, and Brandon naturally passed it to

Zoe.

Zoe ordered pizzas that she and Leanna liked, then asked Brandon, "What would you like to eat?"

Brandon replied, "I'm fine with anything. Just order whatever you like."

Zoe looked at the menu, then ordered two more pizzas.

Having dined with Brandon recently, she could guess his preferences.

Zoe passed the menu to the waiter. "We'll have these for now. Thank you."

The waiter nodded lightly. "Any drinks?"

Zoe said, "Two glasses of fruit juice…"

With that, she glanced at Brandon. "What about you?"

Brandon smiled. "I'll have a glass of fruit juice too."

The waiter left after nodding.

Leanna asked, "Do you not drink alcohol?"

Brandon replied, "I rarely drink, and I'm not good at holding my liquor either."

Leanna smiled. "That's nice."

Leanna and Brandon chatted sporadically. Brandon's replies were well-paced and thoughtful, making

him rather decent.

Soon, the pizzas were served.

Zoe coughed. "Alright, let's eat. We can chat later."

Just then, Brandon's phone rang. He checked the incoming call displayed on the screen, and his

expression changed slightly.

When Zoe saw that, she asked tentatively, "What's the matter?"

Brandon rejected the call, set his phone to silent mode, and placed it face-down on the table. "Nothing."

However, the person on the other end of the line had no intention of giving up. The phone vibrated

continuously from its position on the table.

Leanna said, "It must be something important. You should answer it."

Brandon picked up his phone again and frowned a little. Then, he stood up and said to Zoe, "You can

start first. I'll be right back."

Zoe nodded. "Alright."

When Brandon left, Leanna watched his receding figure as she asked, "Has he done this before?"

Zoe didn't seem to mind as she grabbed a piece. "A few times, yes."

Leanna looked away. "Could it be his ex?"

"Maybe. Who else can make him put on that expression?"

"Haven't you asked him about it?"

Zoe sighed, placing a slice of pizza on Leanna's plate. "Why would I ask him that when he's never

asked me about what happened in the past? He had a point when he said everyone has experienced

relationships before, so it shouldn't matter as long as it's over."

Leanna said, "Are you dumb? Can't you see that it's not over yet? Since he's seeing you, he should cut

off all ties with his ex."

When she was chatting with Brandon just now, she had a good impression of him, but she didn't expect

this to happen all of a sudden.

Zoe drank some juice as she stared at the food, then said suddenly, "Even if they delete all means of

contacting each other, it doesn't count as cutting off ties if they can't forget about each other."

Leanna opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Zoe hadn't asked too much about Brandon's ex not because she was a gracious person—she simply

didn't care.

More accurately, she also had someone she couldn't forget about.

As such, she could understand how Brandon felt.

Ten minutes later, Brandon came back with an apologetic expression on his face. "Sorry for that."

Zoe smiled. "It's okay. The food's ready, so go ahead and dig in."

Brandon nodded. The two didn't say more about the call, or who it was from.

Zoe knew that this was something Brandon refused to share.

Brandon also knew that Zoe wasn't interested in his circumstances at all.

The two were simply following their parents' decisions since they couldn't be with the people they

loved.

As long as they matched each other, they didn't care who was sitting opposite them.

After dinner, Brandon sent them to the ground floor of Zoe's home.

Zoe waved him goodbye. Since she had eaten too much, she took Leanna's hand and began strolling

around the community.

Zoe said, "Nana, did you understand what Daphne said today?"

Leanna was thinking about Zoe and Brandon, so she was confused for a moment. "Huh?"

"Louis. I've been keeping watch over Louis these days, and now that Theodore is on the run, he

probably didn't go look for that jerk. Instead, he must have gone to Daphne," Zoe said, feeling touched.

"Say, what are those two thinking? One refuses to confess, and the other knows but chooses not to talk

about it. I feel so impatient seeing them like that."

Leanna said, "On Louis' side, it was because of, well, Jethro. As for Daphne, I casually talked to her

about this a long time ago, and she probably feels that it's because Louis is six years younger than her.

Also, she probably just treats him as a younger brother."

At the mention of Jethro, Zoe couldn't help but click her tongue. "That old—"

Perhaps because she felt that he was still Louis' biological father and it wasn't appropriate to say that

about him, she swallowed the words she was about to say.

At that thought, Zoe said, "Nana, I honestly feel that people like Jethro can't possibly have children like

Louis. Louis is so outstanding! He's handsome, polite, intelligent, and has good grades. He's nothing

like Jethro!"

Leanna said, "Aidan investigated this matter before. William did so as well, but the results they

obtained were the same."

Hearing that, Zoe frowned deeply and said, "I don't understand, though. Could it be that the heavens

felt Jethro had committed too many crimes, so that's why he was given such a perfect son as

compensation?"

Leanna let out a sigh as she gazed up at the sky.

Zoe said again, "By the way, what about Charlotte? Will she be coming to Highside again?"

Leanna replied, "I don't know. We'll find out after a while, I guess."

"She's quite cute, that girl. Girls her age should want to go places and have fun. If I were her and had

to be confined within the boundaries of Jamesdon, I would feel horrible as well."

"The Woodleys aren't quite at peace either. At least she'll be safer by her father's side."

"You have a point."

Leanna suddenly stopped walking. "Zoe, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Zoe asked, "What is it?"

"Joseph… is probably dead."

Zoe was stunned. "What?"

Leanna nodded and briefly recounted everything that happened in the Woodley Family that day. Then,

she said, "When Joseph left on the ship, it exploded, and the ship was badly damaged. By the looks of

it, no one could have survived that, but they haven't found his body until now."

A while later, Zoe smiled faintly. "We'll just pretend he's dead, then."

She would feel better that way.
