Chapter 151

“Darling, this is Ms. Zennie Hamerton. She saved me last time.”“Zennie, this is my—”“I know!” Zennie hooked an arm around Cordelia’s neck and grinned at Zephyr. “This is your husband, Marcus Grist!“Hello, brother-in-law!”Zephyr wore a straight face.“Darling?” Cordelia elbowed him lightly. “Zennie’s greeting you!”Zephyr glanced at Zennie and made a low hum before turning to the back of the counter to check on the oven temperature.Cordelia frowned, confused. She was also a little embarrassed in front of Zennie. The latter would not think that they were unwelcoming, would she?“Zennie, excuse him.” She smiled and said, “My husband’s usually this stern and not quite a people-person… But you’ll find out after spending time with him that he’s a really nice guy!”Zennie nodded, holding back her laugh.Since they were little, Zephyr was a “brat” to Uncle Matthew, and a “poker face” and “reaper” to the others in the family. He actually became a “nice guy” here with Cordelia.I

Zephyr also replied, mouthing, “You’re asking for a beating!”Zennie giggled happily and chomped down on the cranberry cookies, dropping the crumbs everywhere.Cordelia had gone to the front to water the plants, so Zephyr approached his sister with a scowl.“Clean up after yourself!”Zennie jumped due to the sudden voice. She gobbled whatever she had in her mouth down. Even though she was reluctant, she obediently took the broom from her brother and ultimately cleaned up the place, caving into his authority.“Bro, you’re doing great now, huh?” She teased him while she worked. “The greatest husband alive, ain’t it?”Zephyr just glared at her.Zennie grinned and packed the remaining cookies into a bag after she was done cleaning.“Who are you giving them to?” Zephyr asked out of the blue.Zennie was startled, quietly tightening her hand and holding the bag.‘Damn, I was still seen through.’ She wondered how her brother got a pair of bright X-ray vision eyes. She could never hid

Zephyr glared at her angrily but was at a loss for words because of what she said.The girl wiped her tears. “So what about being 18 years old? Who says that 18-year-olds can’t date? Nelly Tanner was all over you when you were 18 too!”“Zennie, one more word from you and!”Zephyr’s overwhelming dominance made the room feel as if it was submerged in a vacuum.Zennie could only hear her heart thump wildly. She hung her head timidly and wrung her fingers together, biting her lips, not daring to say another word.It was then Cordelia came in with Linda and Seth, Fredric following behind them. They were here to celebrate the opening of the shop.Zephyr took a deep breath and did his best to plaster on a relatively natural smile before he went to them. He politely and courteously greeted them, looking very much like the host.Cordelia stood next to him, docile and admiring. Her infatuated look made Linda chuckle, snapping her out of her daze. She blushed and pursed her lips, escaping

Josiah squinted, blinked, and shook his head. ‘Did I see a ghost just now? That homeless fella…’He had just flashed past him, but those eyes and that face—he looked exactly like Zephyr’s!“Josiah? Josiah Bayer!” Fredric called for him on the line. “You didn’t fall into the water, did you?”Josiah did not respond. He forgot to hang up as he went after the man in a daze.The man quickened his steps upon realizing that there was someone tailing him. Perhaps the man was familiar with the area as he vanished after going around the mountainous paths.Josiah stood on the spot, stunned with frozen limbs.The hot spring hotel was not far away from Splendor Mountain on the opposite side, but the area in the middle was public domain, not belonging to the Hamertons.Josiah was fishing in said area without his bodyguards, so he was unable to go after that man even if he wanted to. That homeless guy scavenging the trash can was already gone.“Hey!” Fredric cupped a hand over his phone and c

Zephyr was speechless. He slowly shifted there and looked back at her with each step he took, hoping his wife would take back her order.Despite that, Cordelia kept up an encouraging gaze and smile, putting him in a dilemma.Ultimately, he gnashed his teeth with his mind made up and went to Zennie and the others.The group was chatting merrily and was surprised when they looked up at him.“M-Mr. Grist…” Linda was the first to notice that something was wrong and probed. “What is it?”Zephyr looked tense and stern, standing straight and frozen for a few seconds… before he suddenly flashed his pearly whites!The others widened their eyes and fell back, staring at him in disbelief. A few quiet seconds ticked past, and boisterous peals of laughter erupted in the small cafe.Cordelia rushed over upon hearing the noise and was greeted by the group's guffawing. Zennie and Fredric almost fell off their chairs too! She then looked at her husband… The corners of his lips slowly went down,

Zephyr looked at him icily, an alert and dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.Nicholas chuckled coldly as he looked at the man thoughtfully. “Marcus, the rental and renovation cost quite a dime, huh? Where did you get so much money from?”“None of your concern.” Zephyr looked stony and cold.“I took care of you when we were behind bars, bro.” Nicholas was overbearing. “Hah, you can let me know if you lack money. I’ll lend it to you for sure. I won’t let you suffer!”“Thanks but no thanks.”“I’m not expecting such determination! Marcus, you aren’t like what they say, right? That you’ve been depending on your wife?”Nicholas’ eyes went to Cordelia, who was behind Zephyr when he spoke.Zephyr clenched his fists, the veins on his toned forearms clear to sight.“Stop your nonsense.” Cordelia’s voice sounded suddenly.She stepped in front of Zephyr, her pretty eyes wide, resolute, and fearless. She might be soft in certain matters but stood firm when someone picked on her husband.

Cordelia subconsciously grabbed Zephyr’s arm and shot him a timid glance.Zephyr looked indifferent as he stepped forward and said with a deep voice, “We don’t have enough ingredients today and can’t serve so many people. You can come again tomorrow if you want coffee, Mr. Thompson.”“Dessert’s fine too if there’s no coffee!” Nicholas grabbed a cookie seeing there were some on the table.However, Zephyr kept the tray a step earlier and looked at him fiercely.Nicholas paused before he tried to catch Zephyr’s hand with an aggressive and hostile gaze.Zephyr was on his guard. With a tilt of his body, he pinned Nicholas’ wrist instead! Both of them were caught in a stalemate, and the atmosphere felt tense.The men in black around them were ready to strike as well.Cordelia felt cold beads of sweat trickle down her back.Nicholas launched a punch, which Zephyr caught. His expression was icy and cool, the sense of pressure surprising Nicholas.Zephyr emphasized each word. “Mr. Thom

Nicholas sat in the car. Even when the air-conditioning was blasting at the lowest temperature, he still felt incredibly frustrated. He rubbed between his brows and felt his headache slightly soothed. Despite that, the pang in his heart only grew more prominent.The first day he went behind bars, he knew that he was no longer in the same world as Linda. He could not take care of her for life—he could only look up at her, miss her, and die keeping her safe.That was why he was alarmed and scared when he saw that she was involved with Marcus. He knew what kind of person Marcus was all too well, and he would never let someone like him have the chance to hurt her!As long as someone was a threat to her, he would eliminate it disregarding the price he had to pay. This was also why he kept picking on Marcus.Today, however, he confirmed something in certainty—that man was not Marcus Grist!His underling ended the call and turned to him with a grim look to say in a hushed tone, “N, news

Nicholas paused and asked, “Who do you want gone?”There was an eerie silence before Yale uttered heavily, “The third heir of Hamertons, Zephyr Hamerton!”There was an icy glint in Nicholas’ eyes.“Come to Centrolis if you’re free. We’ll talk in detail when we meet!”…Cordelia looked at Linda, who was curled up on the bed, and could not help feeling the pinch in her nose as she patted her back softly.Since they came back, Linda had not said a word. She holed herself in the bedroom once she entered the house, and her eyes seemed to have lost their focus. She looked like a husk where her soul was sucked away.“Linda, you must be hungry?” Cordelia tried everything she could to strike up a conversation. “Seth and Marcus are outside. I’ll get them to make you something, okay?”Linda blinked, and a teardrop rolled off her eye.Cordelia felt her heart clench.The Linda she knew was feisty and carefree, like a seagull cruising through wind and riding on waves. It was as if there wa

Chapter 160

Nicholas had been sentenced to eight years of jail time for intentional assault to protect Linda.Linda had gone to visit him in prison countless times during her university years, but the warden’s response would always be a cold, “He doesn’t want to see you”.Her last visit was when she graduated from university. She had gotten the company offer and wanted him to be the first person she shared the happy news with.…As she anxiously waited outside the visiting room, she heard the heavy noise of the metal door. Her tears were uncontrollable when Nicholas sat on the other side of the glass that separated them.This was his first and last sentence to her. “Don’t cry. It’s not worth it to cry over someone like me.”He looked at her deeply after that before getting up and going behind the metal door.Linda slammed the glass with all her might, and the prison warden stopped her. The news came from the inside a while later. The warden told her solemnly that Nicholas had asked her not
