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

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 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.

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 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
