Chapter 271 Into the Mountains to Pick Up
When Zoey arrived at Flora’s house, Flora had already packed up her things and was waiting for her.
“Let’s get going.”
Flora gave Lisa a little about her whereabouts before this followed Zoey, Flora personally drove Zoey and arrived directly under the first hospital.
“Flora what are you doing here?” Zoey asked in disbelief.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
She clenched her hands, her heart could not help but feel a little weak, that day after she hurried from running out, she never contacted Theo once, during this period Theo had sent her messages, but all of them were also ignored by her.
After all, she is not at all clear about Theo’s heart, his sudden and inexplicable kindness to himself, let Zoey completely as that is Theo in her guilt, this kind of sympathy in exchange for care, she does not need.
She wanted to reach out and grab Flora to stop her from stopping, but it was too late, the figure had already appeared in their line of sight.
“Don’t worry, there’s always something to be said, besides we’re not just going out for a break.”
Flora patted Zoey’s hand soothingly, after all, the protagonists of this trip are the two of them.
“Flora.”
Theo is surprised to see Flora, last night Flora suddenly contacted him, just said to wait for her downstairs at the hospital today, but did not say what it was about, so many years, Flora did not take the initiative to contact him, this time no matter what she is for, is enough to make Theo happy.
He bent over to look through the car window, and the moment he saw Zoey he was a little surprised. He had been trying to contact Zoey since she was released from the hospital, but never got a response from her, and he couldn’t just run blindly to Price’s family to find her.
“Zoey,” Theo looked at Zoey with an unprecedented complexity in his heart. Ever since he confronted Jacob that day, he had been pondering in his mind the question of what emotions he really felt for Zoey.
“Get in the car.”
Flora glanced at Theo and then at Zoey, and opened her mouth at the right time to break the awkwardness of the scene, she shook her head helplessly, it was the first time she had seen such an awkward Zoey.
Theo nodded, then sat in the back seat of the car, halfway through Theo intentionally and Flora switch driving, is to have something to say to Zoey properly, but he just sat in the driver’s seat, Zoey followed Flora to the back seat rest.
She is deliberately avoiding Theo, such an obvious thing, they almost all see clearly, Flora slightly narrowed eyes closed eyes, but is the Zoey performance all in the eyes, but she did not say anything more.
Theo awkwardly looked at Zoey, he does not understand the girl’s heart, now for Zoey why inexplicably does not take care of himself, this thing he does not understand.
The car drove unhurriedly, they soon arrived at the foot of a mountain not far from A city, is a very beautiful mountain, many people will come here to relax, Flora has heard since childhood that there is a wishing tree on this mountain, wishing on it will be very spiritual, but she has never come.
“I’ve booked the room, Zoey and I have one, Theo is it okay if you have one to yourself?”
Flora led them to a lodge, the lodge was built in a very moody, ancient style, Flora’s favorite style, she looked at every grass and tree here, if she could she really wanted to live here for the rest of her life.
“Yes.” Theo nodded, he took the key could not help but glance at Zoey, which went back to his room.
Flora and Zoey will bring the luggage ready, then simply sit over the gazebo to rest, this time is the end of summer, the weather is relatively cool, the mountains are even a little cool, but very pleasant.
Flora tasted a mouthful of freshly picked tea from the mountain village, fragrant and soothing, she was in a good mood and looked at the sullen Zoey, finally found a chance to have a good talk with Zoey.
“Silly girl talk to me, why are you avoiding Theo ah.”
Flora put her teacup down and quietly looked at Zoey, this time she purposely called up Theo on this trip, just to settle things between the two of them, but looking at Zoey’s current performance, this state of affairs seems to be not so good.
“I have no ah, you look wrong.”
Zoey did not intend to admit, her eyes deliberately dodged, but she is the worst at lying, so for a while the tone of her voice could not help but be weak.
“Was I wrong?”
Flora looked at her seriously, this time was originally to solve the matter of her and Theo, she naturally do not want to see Zoey so keep avoiding, so that in the future will only be hurt herself.
After all, many things are dependent on their own to say out, want to meet you a look he understands people, too difficult.
“I … well, I said …”
Zoey has never been Flora’s opponent, in front of her own more impossible to hide any heart, in the end she can only compromise, she took a deep breath, and finally found the courage to say all their heart.
“I … am just holding on to my pathetic little dignity, I know he doesn’t like me at all, so his sudden show of affection will only make me feel especially pathetic, and I don’t want to use my vulnerability to exchange for his sympathy.”
Zoey said unconsciously lowered her head, her hands could not help but entwine, the corners of her eyes could not help but hang a tear.
Flora quietly listened to her heart, she had never seen such an unconfident Zoey, this look she really heartbreaking, she looked at Zoey, would like to say some words of comfort, but the afterimage swept to the figure not far away.
She took a look at Zoey with a deeper meaning, so it’s good to be heard by Theo himself, and save her the trouble of conveying Zoey’s feelings at the moment, she gently stood up and wrapped Zoey in her arms.
“Okay silly girl, don’t want those unhappy things, I’ll go back to rest first, and then go up the mountain tomorrow.”
Flora gently coaxed Zoey.
Back to the room, Flora took advantage of Zoey’s bath time to talk to Julia on the phone, by the way, she asked Julia to investigate who she knew that often met with Blair quietly, and by the way, she investigated Avery, the previous maid of Ward’s Family villa, which she had promised Mei before.
Until after everything was arranged, she was slightly relieved, she got up and poured a glass of red wine and stood by the bed, looking out of the window, the moonlight illuminated the whole estate beautifully.
Her mind suddenly recalls the time when she was small, when she and Blair just finished the college entrance exams, they discussed to go to the same school, she still remembers the words of Blair at that time, she said, Flora, when I earn money in the future must take you to live in the best manor, no, I want to build a manor for you.
At that time Blair how to understand their own ah, but because of too much understanding, then it will become her most fatal wound.
She clutched the goblet in her hand, Julia found out about Blair’s encounters abroad, to be honest she hadn’t dared to imagine it until now, she just took a brief glance at it and then sealed that information in the drawer fiercely.
