Zoe Bell had never received much affection or favoritism in her life, but she had experienced it with William Hale, whom she had only known for a short while.
She trusted him a lot.
Upon hearing this, William felt happy, "I still have some work to handle. In a couple of days, I'll take you back to Capital City to meet my family first."
Zoe nodded.
But William knew in his heart:
Trust does not mean falling in love.
The place in her heart was still empty.
He understood she had just been hurt, and that they hadn't been together long. He needed to take things slow, yet he often felt an impatient urgency.
After arriving at the movie theater, William needed to make a phone call, so Zoe and Wyatt Hale went in first.
Old Sir Hale, having just hung up on a call and still irritable, saw his phone vibrate. He glanced at the caller ID and snorted coldly, deciding not to answer.
"Whose call are you not taking?"
