章 147: Her side of the story

"Hmm..." Zoey pondered, studying his blank front, which revealed nothing to her. "Of course! I don't particularly hate liars — I lie too, sometimes." She shrugged her shoulders and turned her attention to the vegetable aisle. 

"I think people lie or keep things to themselves for a reason. I'd rather hear them out and appreciate their courage in telling me the truth." Her lips curled into a meek smile as she turned towards Matthew Xi. "In that case, we can figure out a way to deal with it. Communication is always the key, after all." 

"Aren't you a little naive?" Out of nowhere, Matthew Xi shook his head lightly as the side of his lips curled into a slight smile. 

"Well, you can say that, but don't forget that you're a bit useless in grocery shopping." Chuckling back, Zoey gave him a knowing look because Matthew Xi did nothing aside from pushing the cart and let her do the shopping.
