Chapter 451
This scent felt rather familiar to him...
It was the scent he smelled that time when Zoe took off her clothes to seduce him, as much as it
triggered his rhinitis.
But it was as mesmerizing as it was before, and it almost made him throw all caution to the wind and
just go ahead with her...
The final line of defense in his heart eventually made him push her away.
He was already trying his hardest to forget her tears, sorrow, and misery from that time, but her scent
alone was still fresh in his memory no matter how much time had passed.
It never failed to send his heart racing.
And right now, she was wearing her favorite perfume for another man.
Had she really let things go, and was that why she was using the perfume?
At least, he had not smelled that scent on her for a very long time.
Jay's lips lifted in a smile, but tears blurred his vision.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe blew his hair dry before leaving the bathroom.
There was no one in the living room, for Zoe was probably keeping Bob company in the bedroom.
Bob was drunk, and he was also her boyfriend.
She had every reason to be there and take care of him.
Jay stood in the middle of the reasonably-sized living room, feeling slightly lost, and he had no idea if
he could take a seat.
How long was he going to stay here for?
He did not even dare to ask Zoe, and he simply stood in the middle of the living room without moving
an inch.
Zoe barely managed to feed Bob a few sips of tea. He was completely disoriented from the alcohol and
puked so much. She wanted to feed him some food to reduce the discomfort in his stomach, but she
did not succeed in that.
She had been drunk before.
In fact, she was frequently drunk previously, in order to forget someone and something.
She also knew that after getting drunk, she would feel better after a good night's sleep. However, if she
were to sleep with an empty stomach, she was bound to feel terrible the next day.
Zoe walked out of the bedroom and considered preparing Bob some food later on.
When she walked out, she saw Jay standing right there looking lost and confused.
He was probably not used to being in her house, and was much less used to her as a person.
She brought the cup filled with the tea that Bob drank from to the kitchen to wash.
After which, she saw Jay still standing there and said, "The dryer is in that room. Your clothes should
be ready in around an hour's time. Just leave after you grab the clothes. I'm heading to bed."
She felt that perhaps Jay did not like having her hovering around him.
"Sure." Jay immediately nodded.
He truly did not know what he could do.
Now that Zoe had relayed to him some instructions, he could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Yet, to Zoe, Jay responded so eagerly because he wanted to leave as soon as he could.
Unfortunately, she did not have Bob's warm clothes, and Jay certainly would not be able to fit into her

Although now Bob would occasionally give her cash and she was not tight on money right now, she did
not dare to be rash about spending the money she had, perhaps because she had experienced
poverty. If she were to give Jay her clothes, she would have to buy another one and it would be a loss
for her.
Zoe went back to her bedroom-the one she shared with Bob.
Jay saw the door shut. No matter how much he mentally prepared himself and told himself that he
accepted the fact that Zoe was with another man, his heart would break into many tiny pieces each
time he saw her being close with another man.
He walked toward the laundry room that Zoe mentioned.
As if trying to escape from something, he stared stonily at the clothes tumbling in the dryer as he told
himself not to overthink things.
In the bedroom, Zoe found it impossible to fall asleep.
It was not that late, in fact-it was only slightly past ten at night, and she did not usually sleep so early.
What's more, she had to tend to Bob, who was feeling terrible and puking from drinking too much.
