Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 153

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 to the counter. "Can't have enough even when you're already looking at him every day?" Linda went after her and said, "But Marcus has done well with this. I changed my opinion of him! "Anyway, as long as he's willing to spend on you and not cause trouble outside, I'll acknowledge this brother-in-law!"

"Alright!" Cordelia smiled and showed her the menu. "Any drinks for you?"

"Not yet! Is everyone here already?"

"Carter has class today. He'll come after that. The others... are all here, I think."

Fredric chortled upon hearing this. Coincidentally, his phone rang, and his smile widened when he answered it outside.

The person on the other end of the line was Josiah, who was absent.

"Fredric, tell me Z's wrong." Fredric heard the loud complaint once he answered the call. "Am I that embarrassing? He's not letting me attend such a happy occasion..."

Fredric tried his best to hold back his laugh and consoled him. "Put yourself in Z's shoes for a bit. Cordelia thought you wanted to take advantage of her and got into the accident. Who knows how panicked she'll be if she sees you?"

Josiah was gloomy, sighing as he tossed the fishing line afar.

"So, Z's a classic example of gals before pals!"

"You can't say that either..." Fredric forced a peal of laughter back. "Z's actually quite nice to you. He's letting you go on a vacation in his hotel!"

Josiah was so close to moaning. A vacation? It was basically just sending him the farther, the better!

Zephyr knew him too well and knew that he liked making things merry. Even if he had warned that Josiah was not to come on the day of the opening, there was no guarantee that the latter would not cook something up with impulse.

In order not to scare Cordelia, Zephyr could only sacrifice his bro. It sounded nice that he was sent on a holiday in Centrolis and got to drink and eat to his fill in the hotel-even Edarial Dining was cleared exclusively for him.

The fact, though, was...

Josiah gripped the fishing rod and lamented to the sky, "He should disclose his identity if he's so capable! Let's see if the one scaring sis-in-law, in the end, will be him or me!"

"Shh! Keep it down!"

"Hmph! He only knows how to win women over with some blossom fish..." Josiah gritted his teeth. "I'll catch all of them in Splendor Mountain right now and see what he's winning over sis-in-law with... "Ahh!"

Fredric froze. Josiah had been rambling, but he suddenly let out a loud cry.

"Josiah?" Fredric was anxious. "What's wrong?"

"Josiah? Josiah Bayer! What's the matter with you?"
