“Ryan, Uncle Liam.”
Zoe stopped in front of them, putting on a sweet smile.
What a poser.
“Oh, Zoe! How are you recovering?” Liam asked, pretending to be concerned.
“I’m feeling much better. Thanks for asking.”
“That’s good to hear. You’re the precious treasure of the Hoffman family. If anything happened to you, your grandfather and mother would be devastated!” Liam’s words were aimed at Ryan.
Then he cast a meaningful glance at Zoe and left, humming a little tune.
“What are you doing here?” Ryan stared at her with a dark and cold gaze.
“I made soup, and I’m bringing it to Grandpa while it’s still warm.” Zoe blinked innocently. “Ryan, you won’t deny me the chance to be a good granddaughter, will you?”
Ryan’s deep, cold eyes narrowed. He raised his hand slowly and pointed at her face menacingly.
Although he did not say a word, Zoe’s heart still pounded wildly out of fear, and her hands, holding the tray, slightly trembled.
“Zoe, I’m warning you. Don’t play any tricks. Otherwise, I’ll rip out your deceitful tongue and break your legs. If you don’t believe me, just try me.”
As his words fell, Ryan shoved past her and strode away.
Zoe glared at Ryan’s seemingly unshakable figure fiercely, gritting her teeth in anger.
“Ha, we’ll see!”
Then, her vicious expression disappeared, replaced with a gentle and obedient smile as she walked into the study.
