Chapter 96

Zoey, feeling a bit confused, went to open the door and found Henry standing there.

"I heard Gabriel and Travis, so I figured you might be up too. How'd you sleep last night?"

Henry smiled at Zoey, his face soft and kind.

Zoey felt a warm feeling in her chest.

"I slept well, Mr. Windsor. How about you?"

Henry gave her a knowing look. "I barely slept all night, and you know why."

Zoey caught his drift and shot him a look. "Mr. Windsor, what if Gabriel and Travis hear you?"

Just then, Travis ran over. "Mom, what should I hear?"

Seeing Travis's innocent eyes, Zoey was slightly at a loss for words.

"Nothing, go wash your face and brush your teeth. It's almost time for breakfast."

She picked up Travis and went to get Gabriel, who was playing with blocks on the carpet.

Henry followed her in. "Let's wash them up together."

Since he had helped bathe Gabriel and Travis before, Zoey agreed.

After they had freshened up, Lally brought breakfast over.

"Ms. Spencer, Mr. Windsor specifically asked me to make chicken soup for you this morning. Drinking it will make your stomach feel warm and comfortable. And it's very nourishing; I'll prepare it for you for the next few days."

Lally said as she personally served Zoey a bowl of chicken soup, her face showing a gentle smile.

Zoey felt a bit embarrassed but also warm inside.

Looking at Henry, who was coaxing Gabriel and Travis, Zoey smiled sweetly and drank the entire bowl of chicken soup.

After breakfast, Zoey was about to head to the set.

Henry had some company stuff to deal with, so he couldn't go with her.

He wanted the driver to take her, but Zoey refused.

"I'll be back by the afternoon. Plus, I need to stop by the market. I'll make you something tasty for dinner. It's easier if I drive myself."

Hearing that, Henry finally agreed.

"Actually, you don't have to go to the set. Even if you feel okay, you should rest at home today."

Zoey smiled and said, "Mr. Windsor, I'm not that pampered. There's really no need for me to rest. Besides, the film crew will wrap up in a few days. I can't just not show up, right?"

Henry didn't say anything more.

Forty minutes later, Zoey arrived at the set. Peter, not seeing Henry, couldn't help but ask Zoey, "Ms. Cavendish, why didn't Mr. Windsor come today?"

Zoey replied calmly, "He's busy. He only had time yesterday to come once."

Peter was worried. "Ms. Cavendish, Mr. Windsor won't miss the wrap-up day, will he?"

"He already promised me he would come that day."

Peter finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

As Zoey started preparing for work, James came over to her. "Ms. Cavendish, I think you shouldn't let Mr. Windsor come on the wrap-up day."

Zoey was puzzled. "Why?"

James glanced at Peter, who had walked away, then said to Zoey, "You don't know that Juniper's agent is very close to Peter. Juniper showing up yesterday wasn't a coincidence; Peter must have asked her to come."

He continued, "You must've noticed Juniper's trying to get Mr. Windsor's attention, probably on Peter's orders. Even though Mr. Windsor doesn't care about her, she's a nuisance. I bet she'll show up on the wrap-up day and cause trouble."

Zoey smiled calmly at James's warning. "It's fine. Mr. Windsor and I aren't bothered by Juniper. No need to worry."

Seeing Zoey's relaxed demeanor, James felt his worries were a bit excessive.

If Juniper knew what Zoey was capable of, she wouldn't dare mess with Henry.

The same went for Peter; James figured Peter would regret his actions eventually.

After a busy morning, Zoey felt a bit tired and irritable, likely due to her period, even though her stomach wasn't hurting.

She skipped lunch on set and, after letting Director Beckett know, drove off.

Before heading to the market, she stopped by a nearby mall to buy some clothes for Henry.

Even though she had already prepared a gift for Henry that would arrive from abroad in the evening, she thought buying some clothes for him now would be a nice gesture. After all, he had given her and the kids so many gifts; she wanted to show her appreciation.

Zoey walked into a luxury store, picked out a few styles and colors Henry liked, and asked the clerk to pack them up.

The clerk was thrilled, thinking, 'She's a big spender, buying several expensive outfits without hesitation.'

A little while later, Juniper walked into the same store.

She was looking to pick out a men's outfit to give to Henry in a few days.

At first, Juniper didn't recognize Zoey because her back was turned.

But then she noticed the men's outfit Zoey was holding and immediately wanted it.

Juniper's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over, snatching the outfit from Zoey's hands before she could react.

"I want this outfit. Pack it up for me," Juniper said to the clerk.

The clerk was momentarily stunned, then recognized Juniper.

"Are you the actress Juniper?" the clerk asked, a bit unsure.

Juniper smiled warmly, as if she hadn't just grabbed the outfit from Zoey.

"Yes, I'm Juniper. Please pack this outfit for me. Thank you."

The clerk, as if in a daze, took the outfit and couldn't help but ask Juniper, "Can I take a picture with you later?"

Juniper nodded. "Sure, no problem."

The clerk was about to pack the outfit when Zoey said coldly, "I was going to buy that outfit. Did you forget I asked you to pack it?"

The clerk's expression froze.

Juniper turned around and finally realized it was Zoey who had been holding the outfit.

Her face darkened for a moment, then she said to Zoey, "Ms. Cavendish, I didn't expect to see you shopping for clothes too. But these clothes are very expensive. You might not have seen the price."

Zoey looked at her coolly. "I know."

When Zoey wasn't smiling, she naturally exuded an aura of cool detachment and unearthly elegance, which made Juniper incredibly envious.
