Chapter 81
At 2:00 pm that afternoon, Quinn ved punctually at The Oasis, which was the cafe Zoe had mentioned
Quinn looked around, but there was no sign of Zo
Awaiter came up to greet her, “How many in your party, missi
“I’m not sure. Probably him.“Quinn was unsure if Zoe was asking to meet her alone or if she would bring Calch with her,
“Whight. Let me Like you to a seat,” the waiter said tie led her to a table near the window that could seat four.
Quinn ordered an americano and glanced at the time again. Five minutes had passed since 2:00 pm, which was the time they had agreed upon.
Her coffee was served, and after she had taken a few sips, she saw Zoe emerge in a branded dress. She wore huge sunglasses and very tall heels and walled in very lamboyantly.
Behind her was a woman in her yos, and the two of them looked like a celebrity and her assistant as they walked along one after the other.
Zoe had seen Quinn sitting by the floor–to–ceiling windows the moment she walked in. She walked over to her and took her sunglasses off. She tossed them onto the table and sat down
She turned and looked at the woman behind her. “Ivanna, give it to her”
The woman was named Ivanna Brown. She immediately pulled out a pink card from her bag and held it out to Quinn. “Ms. Lawson, this is the invitation to the engagement ceremony of Jakeman and Mr. Zeller. Please accepti
Quinn looked at the invitation, which had their vows of love
of love printed on it. She felt a lump in her throat, and her bright eyes flickered slightly: “What what do you mean by this?”
“It’s very simple. I just want you to attend Caleb’s and my engagement ceremony,” Zoe said arrogantly
Quinn did not accept the invitation. Although she could not understand why Zoe wanted to invite her, she clearly remembered that Caleb had said he never wanted to see her again. If so, why should she go?
“I won’t go,” she said abruptly. She was under no obligation to go and watch such a farce.
“Zoe hadn’t expected her to refuse. She immediately looked displeased and said, “Why? Are you afraid you feel upset because you’ll no Caleb’s love for me? Or are you still pining after
Caleb? Are you trying to get him back?”
“You’re overthinking it. Things between Caleb and I were over long ago, and I no longer feel anything for him,” Quinn replied calmly
“Really? Prove it to me, the Now that you mention it, I look forward to getting your blessings After all, there must be no greater engagement present than the well–wishes of your fiance’s ex–girlfriend,” Zoe said, raising an eyebrow.
“I told you that I won’t go Please stop imagining those silly scenarios” Quinn felt that the two of them were on completely different wavelengths.
Zoe always gave her the impression of being single–minded and obsessive. She acted as if everyone would cover the things that she liked. It was definitely a mental condition that needed to be treated
Qui got up to leave the could not be bothered with talking to her any longer
“Don’t you want to see you herecker of a mother who abandoned her husband and kids?” Zoe asked again.
Quinn stopped in her tracks
Zoe continued to say casually, “I wonder if she’s getting karna for taking someone’s husband. She seems to be quite severely ill. What does she have again?” “Lung cancer,” her assistant İvanna supplied bripfully.
“Oh, right! Lung cancer. That’s a terrible disease. She coughs all day. Tskrs Asher daughter, aren’t you planning to go and visit her?” Zoe asked gleefully.
When Quinn beard the phrase “lung cancer“, her expression froze at once. She was in a complete daze.
She barely had any impression of her mother, but getting such sudden and tragic news about one’s mother would shock anyone
When Zoe saw that Quinn seemed tooted to the spot, she stood up slowly. “Don’t say I didn’t maingou. Your visit might be the last time you’ll see her. After all, if your mother really does die, our family in desinitely not going to hold a memorial service for ht.”
