Layla pulled out a piece of chocolate from underneath her pillow, then said, “Grandma asked me to give this to you, Hayden. She was worried you‘d be hungry… Hurry up and eat it!”
Hayden shook his head and refused.
Layla shoved her hands back under her pillow and fumbled around.
Suddenly, she pulled out yet another piece of chocolate.
“This was from Mommy. She‘s also worried you‘d be hungry. Just eat one of them, Hayden! We ‘ll take one piece each. How‘s that?” Layla begged gently.
“Did Mommy really ask you to give that to me?” Hayden said as he stared at the chocolates in his sister’s hand.
They were clearly identical.
“That‘s right! Actually, they‘re both from Mommy. She told me to say it was from Grandma at first because she felt bad…”
A hint of warmth washed over Hayden’s cold face. At 10 p.m. that night, an alluring person appeared at the entrance of the Scenic Hotel.
Zoe had worn a strappy red dress to the hotel. She pushed open the door to Room V809.
The darkness of the room took her by surprise, but she very quickly noticed the flickering of red candles inside.
Red candles!
Sitting by the candles was a decanter of red wine and some desserts, and on the chair next to the arrangement was a bouquet of red roses.
Zoe was melting in the romantic atmosphere.
Elliot was unexpectedly sentimental!
Zoe was filled with anticipation for what was about to happen that night.
As she picked the bouquet of roses, she became intoxicated by the strong floral fragrance.
She placed the bouquet back on the chair, then pulled out her phone.
It was almost ten o‘clock, but why had Elliot not arrived?
Was there traffic on the streets?
When another fifteen minutes passed with no sign of Elliot, Zoe began to feel anxious.
Was he not coming?
He could not possibly have painstakingly decorated the room on a whim, right?
Or perhaps, did he mistakenly send the text to her?
Zoe poured herself a glass of wine. She wrapped her fingers around the glass and gently swayed the red liquid inside of it, before taking a sip.
It was not bad at all!
It was a fragrant, full–bodied wine.
It was not until 11 p.m. that the unlocked door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.
A spark of great excitement flashed in her blurry eyes.
She hurried toward the tall figure, threw her arms around him, and whispered softly, “I knew you’d come, Elliot… It was a painful wait, but you showed up in the end…”
The man‘s entire body suddenly stiffened, as if he was shocked Hoe ignored him and kept her arms tightly wrapped around him After two glasses of wine, her reason had already flown out the window All she wanted was to be with him right now!
Zoe was woken up by a splitting headache at seven the next morning She squinted her eyes and took in her unfamiliar surroundings as everything that happened the night before floated in her mind.
A grin appeared on her face.
Last night, Zoe took a substantial step forward in her relationship with Elliot, She did not expect things between them to progress this quickly, let alone for the experience with him to be this amazing Elliot was gentle and patient with her, and he had given her a taste of the joys of being a woman.
Zoe was even more in love with him now!
At that thought, she turned to look at the man lying beside her.
He was on his side, and there were faint scratches on his pale back.
She had scratche d him in the heat o f the moment last night, She had deliberately le ft her mark on his body as a sign that she had become his woman, She m o ve d c l os er to him until their bare skin was touching and their body heat was entangled together.
“Hmm? Do yo u want to g o ano ther roun d?”
The man’s hoars e v oic e hit Z oe‘s ears, leaving her speechless. Why was it not Elliot’ s voice?!
Zoe‘s entire body went rigid as she felt her body instantly turn cold.
Cole turned to face her, then teased bashfully, “I didn‘t know you were that rough in bed, Dr. Sanford. You almost squeezed me dry…”
Zoe finally took a good look at Cole’s face.
This was not their first meeting.
Back when she had burned her hand, Cole was the one who had driven Rosalie over to visit her.
Zoe had too much to drink the night before, and the room was lit up with nothing but a few candles, so she did not realize that this man was not Elliot!
How could something like this happen?
Elliot was the one who had invited her here last night!
What was Cole doing here?!
“How are you here? Why you?!” Zoe picked up her pillow and repeatedly smacked Cole‘s face with it.
Cole covered his head and cried, “Dr. Sanford! Don‘t hit me! I don‘t know what’s going on either! I got a text from Avery last night telling me to come to Room V809, so I came! Who knew that you‘d hug me the moment I walked in… I tried to loosen your grip a few times, but you refused to let go… Not only did you not let go, but you also kept throwing yourself at me… Who would be able to resist that?!”
Zoe threw the pillow onto the ground, then burst into tears.
“Don‘t cry, Dr. Sanford! I know the whole thing is fishy, but it‘s true! I can show you the text! I wasn‘t trying to trick you on purpose! Let‘s just pretend that what happened last night was a dream! I swear I won‘t tell my uncle. He wouldn‘t let me live if he found out about this. I won’t dig my own grave!”
Cole dropped to his knees in front of Zoe and swore to her.
Through red eyes, Zoe stretched her hand out to him and snapped, “Show me the text!”
She wanted to know exactly what went wrong.
Cole quickly found his phone and opened up his messages, but despite his wide eyes, he could not find the text he had received last night.
“Huh? Where is it?! The text last night disappeared! I remember I didn’t delete it!”
Zoe picked up another pillow and hit Cole with it once again!
Cole was devastated!
“Let me explain, Dr. Sanford! I bet it was a hacker! My phone was hacked into not too long ago!
“Are you saying that the text from Avery Tate was the hacker’s work? So, the hacker was the one who sent me that text from your uncle, too?!” Zoe sneered.
She did not believe that the text she had received from Elliot was actually the work of a hacker.
However, why did Elliot not show up last night?
Zoe took a deep breath, found her phone, and opened up her messages.
She instantly became livid!
“Did the text my uncle sent you disappear? Looks like you got hacked, too!” Cole said as the gears in his head turned at full speed. “Last night was a setup to trap the two of us!”
“Who did it?! Who could it be?!”
Zoe was about to lose her mind.
If Elliot found out about what happened between her and Cole, he would surely not want her!
“I don‘t know… This hacker‘s too good, and I couldn‘t find out anything about him,” Cole said as he passed a couple of pieces of tissue paper to her, then added, “Don‘t worry, I’m sure this wasn‘t my uncle‘s work. He‘s still counting on you to treat Shea. He won‘t do something this despicable to you.”
