X Chapter 0512 "No more for me," Winter said as she set down her wine glass and stood up.

Drinking too much could lead to trouble, especially with a man in the house. She knew her limits. Zach paused mid-drink. "Why are you leaving already? We haven't even finished the bottle." "What, you think my place is skind of bar? You want to drink until the sun comes up?" Winter shot back. "It's already open, and it's perfectly aged. Seems like a waste not to finish it." "It won't be a waste. I'll save it and drink it tomorrow by myself." Zach speechlessly stared at her.

Winter pointed at the clock on the wall. “It's late. Tfor you to go." He grumbled, "Why are you like this?" Winter raised an eyebrow. "Like what?" "You callwhen you need me, but the moment you're done, you kickout. Do people really act like that?" "What do you expect? Am I supposed to ask you to stay the night?" "Well, yeah! It's normal for a boyfriend to stay at his girlfriend's place, right? Even if we're faking it, shouldn't we at least pretend properly?" "Nonsense! Who cares if we're staying together or not?" Winter snapped.

Just then, Zach's phone buzzed with a video call notification. He glanced at the screen, and a smirk tugged at his lips. "Speak of the devil." Before Winter could react, Zach answered the call. "Hey, Mom, why are you calling so late? What's up?" "Where are you? Phoebe asked, her face appearing on the screen. "This doesn't look like your place." Zach chuckled. "I'm at Winter's." "Really?" Phoebe sounded surprised, "Don't try to trick me..." "I wouldn't dream of lying to you! Here, letget her to say hi.

Phoebe's eyes lit up. "That bracelet looks beautiful on you. I knew I picked the right one!" Winter glanced at her wrist, where the royal emerald bracelet Phoebe had gifted her shimmered under the light. "Well, Mrs. Graham, you've got great taste." Her compliment made Phoebe beam with joy. "I've got plenty more like that. You can wear whatever you like. Eventually, all these will be yours!" Zach was Phoebe's only son. In the future, all of her jewelry and family heirlooms would naturally go to her daughter-in-law, wouldn't they? Winter silently thought, "Not if I can help it..." Even so, she kept smiling and responded politely, "Thank you. Phoebe chuckled. “Alright, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone. Goodnight!" "Goodnight, Mrs. Graham," Winter said.

Zach put his phone away with a satisfied grin. "See? My mom's always keeping an eye on us."

Winter rolled her eyes. "Well, I just helped you fool her, so you're good now. Get going. I'm going to bed." "Walt," Zach said, ignoring her.
