Chapter 355 Did Carter Massage Them For You?

Zoey elegantly followed Carter and me away.

Sitting in the passenger seat, she glanced back at us. "I weren't for your bad leg. I'd make you sit in the back."

Carter's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said, "I can carry her."

"Fine, then. Pull over."

The car stopped again. Harlan strode up quickly, his steps purposeful. "I knew it. Your return implies that we can put the past behind us."

Zoey rolled her eyes at him and chided, "You're crazy."

This time, she slammed the car door even harder as she climbed in and sat next to me. I leaned against Carter, his arm wrapping protectively around me.

Zoey clicked her tongue in mock disapproval. "Seriously, I can't even look at you two. Just a few months, and you're this sweet? Do you really like him that much

Blushing. I buried my face deeper into Carter's chest. "Mm-hmm. I'm completely smitten. We're happy together."

...very

Zoey rested her chin on her hand, her expression teasing. "Carter, shouldn't you thank me for setting you up with such a great match?"

"Thank you." he replied simply.

"Wow, I heard about your reputation-ruthless in business, a merciless devil, even lost the use of your leg I figured you'd be some twisted psycho. Who knew you'd be this agreeable?" Carter tightened his arm around my waist, his eyes narrowing as he figured out who she was.

"I'm grateful for un

sending her back to me," he said softly. "Without your sacrifices, she wouldn't have

been able to start over."

She raised a hand, cutting him off. "Stop right there. You make it sound like I'm some war hero who died for the greater good."

"Zoey, how have you been?" I asked, my curiosity about her life overwhelming me.

I never thought we'd meet again, especially not like this.

"To be honest, starting over again, I think it's fine to just let everything go."

"Huh?" I didn't quite get what she meant.

"My timeline of coming back is different from yours," she explained. "I came back abour-a month ago, and I woke up in Janice's body. She was in love with Harlan, but as you've probably noticed, that Nina girl-his so-called childhood sweetheart-was always there to stir up trouble. This marriage was arranged by Harlan's grandpa, and Harlan resented it. He was cold toward the original Janice, never even looking her in

the eye during their three years of marriage. Instead, he defended Nina at every turn. One day, after yet another confrontation, Janice snapped and jumped into the lake.

Her voice turned wry. "You have no idea what it was like The day I woke up in this body, I opened my eyes. underwater, staring straight at a massive black fish. Scared me so badly, I nearly died all over again. Luckily, I can swim, so I dragged myself out. After dealing with scumbags like Ashley, I figured, screw it. If Harlan hates me, fine. We can just get divorced.

Her

story brought a soft laugh from me. Tm just glad you're okay. When I saw how furious Harlan looked earlier, I was worried he might abuse you."

Carter cut in. "That wouldn't happen. Harlan may have temper, but he's a gentleman at heart. He'd never do something like that."

I shot him a look and scolded, "Of course, you'd take his side. He's your friend."

Carter fell silent.

Zoey watched us, a mixture of amusement and concern on her face. "Honestly, I worried about you. Back then, I left you with such a mess. Marriage is a lifelong thing, you know? I was terrified I'd ruined your life." "Don't worry. I've taken care of everything."

She smiled knowingly. "I know. I looked you up in the news and saw your painting livestreams, that violin performance not long ago, and even photos of you with Dad-uh, I mean, Bill. You've done so well."

Her smile turned bittersweet, and my heart ached for her.

"Bill knows the truth now," I said quietly. "He regrets everything he did to you. Zoey, why haven't you

reached to Mom? She'd be thrilled to know you're alive."

Zoey lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting with her nails. "I don't deserve to be her daughter. When I chose to end things, I didn't even think about her feelings. You're amazing, and you're enough for her. Her daughter shouldn't be a coward like me." I sighed softly and said, "Both Mom and Bill love you very much."

"Just don't tell them yet, okay? When I've made something of myself, when I can shine too, I'll go see her."

"By the way, Zoey? Mom's pregnant."

Her eyes widened. 'Really?"

The rest of the ride was filled with chatter and laughter, like two schoolgirls on a field trip."

Carter stayed quiet, playing the perfect armrest as we giggled and gossiped.

The car arrived at a grand estate bearing the Bolton Estate sign.

The iron gates creaked open, revealing hydrangeas of every color under the soft glow of the streetlights. My favorite flowers.

He planted them for me.

Damian wheeled Carter behind us, his tone light. "T've known Mrs. Zoey for years, but I've never seen her This happy

Carter looked at me tenderly, never interrupting me. "Yeah, it's nice."

Zoey spun around and said, "Carter, l'in stealing Chlon tonight. She's sleeping with me."

Carter blinked, his mouth opening, then closing.

It was too early for him to feel good about everything.

"Please?" I added, giving him my best pleading look. "I have so much to talk about with Zoey. Just for tonight?"

He sighed in defeat. "Fine. But don't stay up too late."

""Got it!"

I playfully tapped Zoey on the forehead. "By the way, I older, so you should call me sister. And Carter? He's your brother-in-law; you need to be polite to him Zoey was unconvinced. She argued, "Excuse me? You're using my body. You're 20. I'm 25. I'm your older Sister"

Carter chimed in, "I'm older than Harlan. That makes Chloe your sister-in-law."

The debate over titles went on, neither side willing to budge.

"It doesn't count, it doesn't count! Harlan and I are getting divorced. He's him, I'm me-we're not a family. So, I'm your elder here."

I chuckled helplessly. "Alright, alright, whatever makes you happy. Call it whatever you like, as long as it brings you joy.

"Chloe! You're my younger sister!" She chirped, linking her arm with mine and skipping toward the house.

"Yeah! Alright."

Zoey was absolutely thrilled, bouncing up and down as she clung to my arm.

At last, she was no longer the lifeless, gloomy girl she used to be. This was how it should be-20 years. and brimming with the energy of youth.

The house was warm and inviting, every corner filled with Carter's careful touches..

Zoey picked a guest room and insisted I jom her for a bath.

At first, I hesitated due to my shyness, but she smiled wickedly. "Oh, come on. I've lived in this body for 20 years. Nothing here I haven't seen before. Come on, I have so much to tell you. A lot must've happened while I was gone." "Fair enough.

We soaked in the massive tub, chatting like middle schoolers about dreams and plans.

Then her gaze dropped to my chest, and she taunted, looks much bigger now. Did Harlan massage it for you?"

I stared at her, utterly speechless. "You little brat! Since when have you been full of nonsense?"

""Hey, I'm your elder sister here."

"Sure thing, sis. Now, what do you want to hear?"

"Hmm... everything. How about Sadie? She was still in your class, right? Did she give you any trouble?"

I shook my head and revealed, "Sadie's dead."

Zoey froze and exclaimed in disbelief, "What?"

"Zoey, a lot happened after you left. Let me tell you everything."
