Chapitre 415: Baby

"Did you come up with that just now?" Matthew narrowed his eyes. They gleamed in amusement as he could not believe his ears. 

"What do you mean I came up with it just now?" Without batting an eye, Zoey questioned in dismay. She wanted him to believe that what she said was believable. Well, there's some truth in it, after all. Thus, even if Matthew checked the validity of her claims, she was confident that she was safe.

"I hate liars but that half-baked lie is amusing." Matthew nodded his head approvingly, pursing his lips as he cast her a knowing look.

"Duh? It's not a lie. I'm just smart, okay?" In a matter-of-fact tone, Zoey stuck to her harmless lie for survival.

"Whatever you say, Ling ling." He shrugged his shoulders, conceding defeat as he figured there was no point in making her admit it. Not that he would mind, to be honest.
