Chapter 2631
“Isn’t the relationship between your family and Zephir’s family very close? You actually
don’t know about this?”
Leah did not answer and only stared at Zephir and Roxy, who were walking toward them.
Roxy saw Leah as well and instantly wrapped her arms around Zephir’s as if she was
showing her domination. “Ms. Younge, what a coincidence.”
Zephir looked at Leah but did not say a thing.
“Yeah, what a coincidence.” Leah nodded politely. She then picked up her wine glass and
took a sip as if she did not want to talk to Roxy anymore.
Several classmates could not help but feel a little strange when they saw the interaction
between the three of them.
One of their classmates glanced at Zephir and asked, “Zephir, is this your girlfriend?”
Zephir did not answer, but Roxy responded to the question almost instantly. “Yes, Zeph and
I have been dating for a while already.”
‘Zeph…’
All the classmates present knew Daisie Vanderbilt from the Goldmanns, and all of them also
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknew that Daisie had had a very close relationship with Zephir back then.
Zephir had been taking very special care of Daisie, and any observant person would know
that Zephir had a thing for her.
And Zeph was the nickname that Daisie used to address Zephir back then.
After looking at Roxy’s appearance, the ladies more or less understood something.
One of them laughed all of a sudden, and no one knew if she did so intentionally or
unintentionally. “I see. I heard that Daisie has gotten married. Zephir, I didn’t expect you to
have not forgotten her after so many years.”
Her response caused Roxy’s expression to dim instantly.
‘I know I’ve always been a stand-in, but I hate being reminded of this fact.
‘But why isn’t Zeph saying anything? He’s not even explaining our relationship for my sake.
Doesn’t this just go on to prove that I’m only a stand-in?”
Roxy bit her lip but immediately suppressed her emotions and smiled. “Oh really? Ms.
Vanderbilt has gotten married, and Zeph met me after that. Perhaps this is what we humans
call fate?”
The female classmate gave off a pregnant smirk as if she was mocking the fact that a
stand-in would be shameless enough to think so highly of herself.
“However, I heard that Ms. Younge also had a crush on Zephir for so many years, right?”
Roxy’s words directed the gazes of all the people around her onto Leah.
They did not know about Leah’s crush on Zephir. They only knew that the Goslings had a
good relationship with the Younges.
Zephir and Leah were classmates in the past, and the two had been very close. Later on,
Daisie appeared in their lives through Zephir, and the three of them became almost
inseparable.
Everyone around them could see that Zephir liked Daisie back then, but they did not know
that Leah liked Zephir too.
In other words, it was Leah who had hidden her affection for Zephir so deeply that no one
noticed..
‘Just what kind of love triangle is this?”
Leah pinched the stem of the glass tightly, and her expression turned chilly. She glared at
Roxy, and Roxy looked at her with a trace of provocation beaming from the bottom of her
eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter some time, Leah chuckled. “But that’s all in the past. I let go of it a long time ago.”
Leah admitted it on the spot.
Now that she was claiming that she had let go of the past, it meant that she was no longer
secretly in love with him.
Leah’s classmate asked at that moment, “When did it happen? Why didn’t we know about
it?”
Leah glanced at Zephir and answered calmly, “I started to take a fancy to Zephir after he
fell for Daisie. The way he treated Daisie and took care of her were very attractive to me
because all the things that he did showed that he was a person who was capable of a long-
lasting relationship.”
Zephir froze slightly.
She finished the wine in the glass, stared at the glass, and added calmly, “But that was all
in the past. Things are different now. I already have a boyfriend.”
Everyone around was shocked. Even Roxy was dumbfounded, but she reacted very quickly.
“Ms. Younge, are you messing with us?”
