Chapter 491
On the other hand, after exiting the restaurant, Brandon said, "Let me see you off."
However, Zoe politely declined, "No worries, my house isn't very far. I can just take a cab from here. On
top of that, you don't live in that direction, so it'll just be very troublesome for you."
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "How is it troublesome to send a girl home? My mother will give me
an earful if I don't send you home safely."
Zoe, who was also under the pressure of her parents, knew how scary it was to go against them. So,
after thinking about it, she nodded.
She had to admit that she and Brandon got along well.
She had been through many blind dates with friends. They were either too high maintenance or
mommy's boys, so she didn't expect anything much this time.
Maybe the lack of expectations led her to feel that this date was great.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he wasn't very handsome. But he was the type of man that
girls would like. No matter what he did or said, it was all very gentle and elegant. If she stayed with him,
she would always feel taken care of.
Besides that, he was also very knowledgeable and soft-spoken.
He wasn't pretentious, and she didn't feel ill at ease when staying around him.
All in all, he was pretty pleasant to hang out with.
While sending Zoe back, Brandon continued, "I heard Mrs. Hart say that you're a very busy woman.
You didn't even come back during Christmas."
Hearing this, Zoe laughed. "Whenever I get back home, she would ask me, along with my relatives,
about marriage. I'm just saving them the trouble."
"Does it have anything to do with your past relationship?"
"Yeah. At the time, we were already talking about marriage. I thought we would already be married

around this time of the year."
Brandon replied, "Thankfully, you found out that he was having an affair before you got married. People
would be talking behind your back if you had gotten married."
Zoe sighed. "Yeah, I guess I was pretty lucky."
After talking for a while, they arrived at Zoe's house.
She unfastened her seatbelt and said, "Thank you for today. Be careful on your way back."
Suddenly, Brandon called out to her. "Zoe."
She looked up at him curiously. "What's the matter?"
He asked, "Would you like to go to the movies tomorrow?"
Even if she had never been on a blind date, she knew this was the next step of a growing relationship.
To be honest, she wasn't dissatisfied with Brandon, nor did she dislike him.
But something just feels…
Brandon saw her hesitation, so he smiled and said, "It's alright. You can decide later. I think we've
already had a good date today. If you don't mind, we can keep in touch."
Zoe was silent for a second before she laughed. "Sure thing."
Maybe she could just try this out. Maybe some good would come out of it if they kept in contact.
Wasn't that what blind dates were about?
Brandon said, "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Hearing this, she nodded and opened the door. "I'll see you tomorrow."
After getting out of his car, Zoe waved Brandon goodbye. It wasn't until he drove off slowly that she
turned around to enter the apartment neighborhood.
But as soon as she turned, she noticed Daniel standing under a tree not far away, staring at her
emotionlessly.
Zoe was stunned.
She looked around the area, and after confirming she was alone, she scratched her head, confused.
Why's he looking at me like that?

It was as if she had wronged him.
Zoe didn't want to greet him, so she looked away and went into the neighborhood.
After walking for a while, she heard clear footsteps behind her.
A few steps later, Zoe suddenly realized a problem.
Wait a second. I thought I moved. How did he find out where I'm living?
Zoe stopped and turned to look at him. Her eyes were full of wariness.
When she stopped, Daniel also stopped. He met her eyes unashamedly with no hesitation.
However, she didn't back down. "Why are you following me?"
Daniel immediately turned away and looked around. "I'm planning on moving recently, and the
environment here seems pretty good."
Zoe was speechless to hear this.
He must be insane.
Without missing a beat, she immediately asked, "How did you know I live here? Did you get someone
to look into where I moved to?"
"No."
"Then what are you—"
"I followed you."
"Followed me…" Zoe mumbled, then frowned. "Were you in the restaurant too?"
Daniel didn't answer or deny it.
Zoe felt even more weirded out. "That's not a good reason to stalk me."
Daniel was quiet.
Then, he patiently said, "That's not stalking."
"You followed me home without my permission. Isn't that stalking?"
At this point, Daniel didn't know how to explain himself.

In the end, he pursed his lips and said, "I came here to see you."
Zoe retorted, "I don't think we have anything to talk about."
He replied, "I have a lot of things to do these days, so I couldn't come to see you."
Hearing this, she was puzzled. "What does that have to do with anything?"
With a frown, he answered, "Didn't you go on a blind date because I didn't visit you?"
She laughed dryly. "You overthink. My blind date had nothing to do with you."
"So, the reason for your blind date is you want to get married?"
Although she wanted to tell him that that was not the whole point of blind dates, she ended up saying,
"Yes. I'm in my twenties, after all. If I don't marry soon, I'll have my kids at a later age. Of course, I'm in
a rush to find a partner."
"Even if you're in a rush, you can't marry someone you just met."
Zoe said, amused, "Then, who should I marry? You?"
Hearing her words, Daniel tried to speak, but no comments came out.
She sighed. "Enough. I don't know what you came here to talk about, but I have nothing to say to you."
Then, she continued solemnly, "Anyways, you saw me going on a blind date. Medusa has men lining
up for her, and she turns them into stone at will. Even if you don't like it, you'd better not come up to me
and say weird things like this."
Daniel frowned, not understanding what she meant.
This was her weak attempt to scare him with folklore, but he didn't understand.
It was pointless.
In the end, she rubbed her forehead and walked away. "I'm going home now, bye."
Zoe had just taken a few steps when he grabbed her wrist from behind. He asked, "Do you want to
marry him?"
"Are you the one giving the dowry?"
This immediately shut him up.
Then, she shrugged off his hand and said, "If you're not paying for the dowry, why should you care if I
get married?"
