Chapter 806

Chapter 806 Are You a Couple?

As Zoe trudged along the road, she looked at the setting sun sinking little by little in the distance.

It would still take about an hour to get back to the city, let alone the city center.

It seemed like they wouldn't be able to reach the city center to get to River Silverstone today.

Still, the scenery here seemed just as beautiful.

There was a large lake in the distance that reflected the shadow of the setting sun.

Seeing this, Zoe took out her camera and pressed the shutter to take a picture.

Daniel happened to turn around and see her.

She stood there, holding a camera, her long hair gently swaying in the light of the setting sun.

At that moment, his breath seemed to stop for a moment.

From being taken away by Leroy to being controlled by Amanda, he had been thinking about one

question for many days and nights.

Would he really be content if he were to die just like that?

He had always been rather lukewarm about relationships.



He was fine with or without someone.

He had no memory of the many women who appeared around him.

It was just a matter of taking what they needed. The excitement brought by desire came as quickly as it

left.

There was nothing particularly memorable.

But Zoe was different. Her personality was cheerful but not ostentatious, bright but not vulgar.

Daniel's initial impression of her was that she had a good personality and temperament, but he later

discovered that she seemed to like him.

But he didn't take her feelings to heart. If they were both in Lachstein, he wouldn't mind her, and they

could even date.

But he came to Highside for a specific purpose, and she was a friend of Leanna, who was Aidan's wife.

Because of that, he didn't want to get too involved with her. Most of the time he went to see her to

achieve his own goals.

Zoe knew all of this. She agreed to his conditions in order to help Leanna.

It was in this kind of contact that Daniel gradually developed a fondness for her.

At the same time, he also felt that his previous intention of being with her without any ulterior motives




was correct.

She was a good woman, and there should be a man who liked her more and cherished her by her side.

However, he didn't know that she had a cheating ex-boyfriend who had pursued her relentlessly.

Daniel's fondness for her was mixed with a few indiscernible feelings of tenderness and warmth.

Later, they went all the way.

Daniel didn't regret it, but he seriously thought about how to balance this relationship and not bring any

harm to her.

Unfortunately, before he had the chance to speak, Zoe nonchalantly said that they were both adults

and there was no need to take responsibility for anyone as long as they had fun.

At that moment, Daniel was choked up and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Their relationship continued to be confusing, but he could feel that Zoe was trying her best to keep her

distance from him.

That was until she became pregnant.

Daniel was at a loss when he heard the news. For the first time in over 30 years, his mind went blank,

and he couldn't make a decision.

But he had never thought of not wanting to keep the child



Despite that, Zoe was more decisive than him or the choice he would make.

When he heard that she was going into the operating room, Daniel felt a sense of emptiness in his

heart, as if something had been lost but he couldn't grasp it.

Fortunately, Zoe regretted it at the critical moment.

Daniel didn't have any other thoughts. He just felt that this child was like a gift from heaven, and he had

to hold on tight and protect them.

Since Daniel could remember, he had been wandering the streets of Findella.

He often fought with older children for a piece of cheese in a trash can, resulting in bloody injuries.

He had no parents or relatives or friends.

If it weren't for William adopting him, he didn't know if he would still be alive.

Even so, William was not his biological father.

Because of that, the arrival of this child meant something different to him.

That was the only person in this world who had a blood connection with him.

While taking care of Zoe and the child, his fondness for her seemed to grow day by day.



Sometimes, when he saw her sitting on the couch eating fruit and watching TV, he couldn't help but

imagine a two or three-year-old child running around, calling him "Daddy" and her "Mommy."

But for him, it felt like a dream too far from reality.

Before he could make this dream more feasible, something happened in Lachstein, and he had to rush

back to deal with it.

In every painful and torturous second, the dreams he longed for became clearer.

What he wanted seemed so simple.

And yet, fate often played tricks on people. It didn't give him a chance to start over.

When he returned, the dream that had been hovering in his mind collapsed instantly.

It no longer existed.

Zoe didn't want to see him again, and he would often blame himself. If only... If only he hadn't let

himself be burdened by the past, if only he hadn't let Amanda control his fate, he could have had a

chance to prevent all of this from happening.

But the reality of it was that it was too late.

Even so, he didn't want to accept things for how they were and wanted to try one last time.

After Zoe finished taking photos, she lowered her head and flipped through the camera. The photos

turned out quite well.

When she raised her head again, she saw Daniel standing there, lost in thought while looking in her

direction.

Zoe looked around but didn't see anything strange. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Daniel looked away. "Nothing. Let's keep going."

The sky had darkened quite a bit by now.

Fortunately, a motel appeared not far away after walking for a few minutes.

They walked over, and Daniel communicated with the owner in French.

The motel had many stray dogs nearby. When Zoe saw them, she stood on the side and took pictures

of them.

Daniel soon came over. "I called someone to come fix the car. Let's go inside and sit for a while."

Zoe nodded and patted the head of the dog next to her before entering the motel.

When they were inside the motel, the owner had already brought them food and water.

Since the water they finished up the water they brought on the journey, Zoe was thirsty now. After

drinking more than half a cup in a row, she asked Daniel, "When will the person who will pick us up

arrive?"



"In about two hours," Daniel replied.

"But it only took us one to get here."

"It's harder to drive at night."

Zoe pouted, understanding the reason behind it.

Exhausted after the long journey, she yawned after finishing her meal.

The owner of the motel came over and asked them in French if they needed a room.

Even though Zoe quickly waved her hand to refuse, she couldn't resist her drowsiness and quickly fell

asleep on the couch.

Daniel watched her as he sat next to her.

The owner asked him in French, "Are you two a couple?"

Hearing that, Daniel smiled and picked up his glass of water. "Yes, we are."
