Chapter 2486

There was a knock on the door, and Zephir looked through his fingers. "Come in."

Leah opened the door and walked in, and he was slightly startled by her appearance. "Why are you here?"

Leah lifted the bag she was carrying, which contained snacks and beer. "Seeing that you've been staying home, recuperating for so long, I was afraid that you'd be bored, so I came to visit you." She put the beer on the table and took out some snacks. "At this time, you definitely need a drink, don't you?"

Zephir gave off a faint sneer. "You've read the news?"

"As long as one isn't blind, they will surely see it."

She opened a can of beer and handed it to him.

Zephir took it from her and took a sip.

Leah sat across from him. "Your injury should almost be healed, shouldn't it?"

He responded with a casual hum.

Leah lifted her head and stared at him for a long time. "It's not that I want to nag you, but I really think it's time for you to leave your feelings for Daisie behind. After all, she's already married, and you can't do anything to change it."

"So what?" Zephir's gaze shifted away from her. "Are you here to persuade me to give up on her?"

"Then what do you plan to do if you don't want to give up? Do you think you still have a chance?" Leah's expression looked very solemn. "Zephir, we grew up together. I don't want to see you go astray because of that persistence of yours, or should I say stubbornness. It's not worth it."

He did not utter a single word.

Leah lowered her gaze and looked at the cider in her hand. "I understand that you won't listen to what I have to say. I won't even bother to care about you if you're not a friend."

"Then why do you care?"

"Because we're friends."

Zephir looked at her.

Leah pursed her lips, looked away, and changed the subject. "You've recovered from the injury. Aunt Patricia won't let you pursue your career as a director now, so what do you plan

to do now?"

Zephir stroked the beer can in his hand. "I don't know."

He really did not know what to do.

In other words, he actually did not know if he still wanted to stick to this line of work.

In the beginning, he chose to enter the industry only because of Daisie, but he no longer

knew now.

Leah took a deep breath-she totally understood his hesitation. "Actually, all you need to do is follow the voice in your heart. Is it really the career that you want to pursue most? You don't make a choice because of someone else. Choose for yourself and yourself only."

Zephir continued to drink without saying anything.

Leah left the Goslings' residence at noon and met Patricia in the courtyard.

Seeing Leah, Patricia gave off a faint smile. “Leah, have you come to visit Zephir?"

Leah nodded. "Yes, Aunt Patricia."

Patricia walked up to Leah and grabbed her hand. "Leah, please help me persuade Zephir. You two have grown up together since you were little kids, and the friendship that you two share is the closest I've ever seen, so I trust you."

Leah was a little embarrassed. "Aunt, I've tried to persuade him multiple times, but at the end of the day, whether he'll listen to me or not completely lies in his own hands."

Patricia chuckled all of a sudden. "How good would it be if you were my daughter-in-law."

Leah was flustered. "A-Aunt Patricia, what are you talking about?"

"I can tell that you actually have a thing for Zephir, don't you?" Patricia caressed her cheek. "The relationship between our families has been rather close since you two were kids. If you can marry Zephir, I believe both Uncle Alexander and I, and even your parents will be more than willing to see that."

Leah's eyelids twitched.

'I've always concealed this secret so deeply that no one else would realize it, yet Aunt Patricia has managed to see through it.'

But she thought of something and lowered her gaze. "Aunt Patricia, he doesn't have a thing for me. Such forced relationships won't end well. They're usually fruitless."

"Why not? Feelings can be cultured and groomed as time passes, not to mention that you two have such a close relationship." Patricia smiled. "Zephir doesn't have a girlfriend now, and I've always been worried that he'll give up on life and degenerate because of Daisie, so I can only count on you now."
