Zoey was a doer. She grabbed her phone, ready to report everything to Naomi at any time.

Oscar reached out to her. “Hold my hand. Let’s go!”

Zoey’s eyes widened. She said, “It’s not a real thing. Why should we hold hands?” Oscar said, “It’s a practice to avoid being suspected by Grandma and the others.” Oscar said seriously. “Don’t worry. I won’t take vantage of you

“Even if I do it, I will be responsible.”

Zoey frowned, “Why do I think it’s weird?” She thought something was wrong but she couldn’t figure out what exactly was wrong.

“Don’t worry. If I bully you, Naomi will definitely not let me get away with it. The man behind her is Shawn. I have to be afraid of Shawn even if I am not afraid of Naomi, right?

Zoey thought it made sense, so she held his hand.

Not far away, Jenny chuckled and stroked her chin with great interest, watching Oscar trick the little girl

She picked up the phone beside her, took a picture of Oscar holding Zoey’s hand, and then sent it to the family group.

She only sent a photo. Everyone else in the group chat was extremely interested in it

Jenny’s mother: [This little girl is not even 18 years old, right? Oscar is a bastard! How dare he flirt with a child?]

Jenny’s father: [When Oscar comes back home, I’ll break his legs.]

Jenny’s grandma: [Don’t scare the little girl. Some girls just look young. As long as she’s an adult, it is not a big deal!]

Jenny lazily sent another message: [She is Naomi’s assistant.]

The group chat suddenly fell into silence.

It was Naomi’s assistant. They were afraid it would be improper if they objected to

Jenny picked up his phone and opened Instagram. She found Naomi’s account

and sent the photo to Naomi

She followed Naomi on Instagram as her fan. She went to Naomi’s book signing event. She liked Naomi very much, so she was deeply impressed by Zoey, who was

standing beside Naomi,

She knew who Zoey was and thought Oscar must know it too.

Soon after Jenny sent Naomi the photo, Naomi replied to her,

Elf in the Evening: [Zoey and Dr. Rogers?]

Dawn& Daybreak: [Yes, I’m Jenny, Oscar’s sister and a fan of yours.]

Elf in the Evening: I know you. You often give me tips.]

Dawn& Daybreak: [I have seen how they interacted with each other. I think it is more likely that Oscar is tricking this little girl.]

Elf in the Evening: II see, thank you. This is my phone number. Let’s add each other on WhatsApp!]

Dawn&Daybreak: [Great!]

Naomi put down her phone, Jenny quickly sent a friend request to her. Naomi approved of it and the two of them started to chat on WhatsApp.

Jenny sent Naomi her selfie and the location of the ice cream shop.

Jenny: [Elf, this is me and my little ice cream shop. Come to have ice cream here when you are free, My treat.]

Naomi: [Sure! Thank you. You know what I look like so I won’t send you any photos.]

Jenny: [I want a private one. Is that all right? Looking forward to it!]

Naomi laughed and sent a few random photos that Shawn took for her in Baok. One of them was taken when she was looking up at the sky under a sycamore tree with leaves spinning and falling.

The sunlight cast a soft filter on her face. Her bang was blown up by the wind, revealing the outline of her face. She looked somewhat bewildered. Her small but tall nose bridge set off her beautiful side face. She clamped her naturally pink lips together. Her long luxury hair was tied in a knot and her white cotton dress was blown up by the wind.

Shawn pressed the shutter and captured a beautiful scene.

Jenny straightened and said, “What the fuck! Why is Naomi so beautiful?

“Damn it! She has such beautiful skin, first–class paintings, and beautiful jewelry. Which window did God close for her?”

She was a girl but she couldn’t help but be attracted to Naomi’s photos.

She cursed, “Shawn is a jerk. But how could he be so lucky?”

But she couldn’t help but be immersed in Naomi’s beautiful photos. No matter from which angle, Naomi was extremely beautiful.

At the same time, Naomi had no idea what Jenny was thinking about. She was chatting online with Zoey. Zoey truthfully told her that Oscar wanted her to pretend to be his girlfriend.

Zoey also told Naomi what Cheryl said. Hearing that it was Emily who did it, Naomi frowned.

If it was Emily, Barbara must be involved.

Barbara’s attitude was changing all the time. She didn’t think she could defeat Emily

Naomi pondered for a while. She asked Zoey to get more information from Oscar. She asked Zoey to be more careful and told her it would be best if she followed Oscar everywhere.

Zoey didn’t understand it. But she was obedient.

She did whatever Naomi asked her to do.

After chatting with Naomi, Zoey put her phone back into her pocket. She even took Oscar’s hand after getting out of the car. “Dr. Rogers, I have never been in a relationship so I don’t know how to interact with a boy. If I make any mistake, tell me. You can teach me some basics if possible.

“Otherwise, I’m afraid that someone will find out the truth.”

Oscar smiled meaningfully, “Of course, I don’t want it to happen. After all, I will be the miserable one.

“Zoey, thank you for helping me. It is a big problem for me.”

Zoey said, “It’s still too early to say that. You haven’t told me how Naomi is involved in Cheryl’s miscarriage.”

Oscar was speechless.

Zoey said, “Let’s go! We’ll meet your Grandma first.”

Zoey remembered Naomi’s orders: she could refuse but if she promised him, she had to give it her best performance. She decided to make it look as real as it could be so that Oscar’s grandmother would believe it.

She didn’t have any old relatives. She only had a younger brother named Frankie. Naomi told her that friends meant connections. Oscar was Shawn’s friend so Zoey thought he must be a decent guy.

Besides, being with Oscar would only be good to her.

Thinking about Naomi’s words, Zoey smiled sincerely, “Dr. Rogers, what should I

Oscar thought about it for a while and said “Well, if you call me Dr. Rogers, my Family will probably think that I asked my patient to help me.

Zoey said. “Then what should I call you?”

Oscar said. “Call me Oscar!

Zoey said obediently, ‘Okay, Oscar

Oscar looked at her and thought Zoey was obedient. He planned to ask Naomi later to give Zoey to him.

He thought Zoey was stubborn and was very obedient to Naomi. She would do whatever Naomi wanted her to do.

Oscar made up his mind and walked into the house with Zoey.

Thanks to Jenny’s advance notice, Oscar’s grandmother and parents were waiting on the sofa.

Oscar looked at the three people on the sofa and didn’t know what to say,

Oscar’s grandmother Miranda said, “This is Oscar’s girlfriend?”

Miranda smiled lovingly and happily, “Hurry up. Come here to me.”

Zoey glanced at Oscar and thought, ‘Didn’t he tell me his Grandma was seriously ill and wanted to see his girlfriend before she died? She doesn’t seem to be sick at all.‘

Oscar tilted his head to the side to look away from her. Zoey secretly gritted her teeth but she smiled sweetly. Then she walked to Miranda obediently.

“Nice to meet you, Miranda. You can call me Zoey.”

Miranda said, “Come on, Zoey. Let me introduce them to you. This is Oscar’s father, Alex. This is Oscar’s mother, Tess.

“Just call them Alex and Tess.”

Zoey greeted them obediently. “Hello, Alex, and Tess.” She put her hands on her knees, like an obedient primary school student.

“Oscar, come here and sit down,” Miranda asked Oscar to walk to her. “You invited your girlfriend home. Why didn’t you prepare a gift for her?

“Your parents and I have prepared gifts for me. You’re her boyfriend!”

Miranda took out the gift she prepared for Zoey. It was the newest game console. “Zoey, you play games, right? Play a game with me.”

Zoey nodded hurriedly. “Yes.”

Oscar smiled, “Miranda, are you giving Zoey a gift or asking her to play games

with you?”

Miranda punched him. “Shut up.”

Alex and Tess took out the gift that he prepared for Zoey. “Zoey, come here. This is our gift for you.

“I hope you like it.”

The gift that Alex and Tess prepared for Zoey was simple and direct: an envelope full of cash.

Zoey didn’t even dare to take it.

She said, “Thank you. But this is too much. I can’t take it.

“Take it! Oscar didn’t tell us in advance that you would be here. It was Jenny who told us. Alex and I had no time to buy any gifts so we came up with this idea. You can buy whatever you like.”

Tess was a typical woman from the South. She was gentle and her voice was soft. Her eyes were gentle and looked firm, which made it hard for Zoey to refuse her. “That’s right, take it. Oscar and I don’t know what you like so we think this is more simple. Zoey, I really hope you like it.” Alex smiled, “We don’t have so many rules nor care about girls‘ origins as long as Oscar loves you.

“As for money, although we don’t have much money. But one more girl or boy is totally fine. Just take it. Don’t worry.”

Alex and Tess were both very gentle. They looked at Zoey encouragingly. Zoey opened her mouth but couldn’t refuse them.

She carefully took the gift from her. Suddenly, she felt her eyes a little bit sore. When she spoke again, she was sobbing. “Thank you, Alex, Tess.” She thought, ‘I am just acting a play. I don’t deserve to be treated so well by the Rogers family.‘ Zoey even had an impulse to tell them the truth.

Oscar noticed that her expression was weird so he hurriedly grabbed her arm. “Actually, I also prepared a gift for Zoey. It’s in my room. Excuse us.”
