Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 998

"Come with me now, Jamie!"

Narissa stormed out of the restaurant. Jamie knew he was in the wrong, so he hung his head low and followed her out.

Once the two were gone, Zephyr sat back down and started drinking Narissa's yogurt smoothie again as if nothing happened.

Danny gave him a thumbs-up. "An excellent move indeed by deflecting the enemy. You've directed the conflict into one between the couple instead."

Zephyr didn't think too much about it and kept sucking on the straw. "I have to admit that this yogurt smoothie tastes pretty good. Miss Firecracker has good taste."

"Who's Miss Firecracker? Is one of your friends coming?" Elise asked cluelessly.

Zephyr waved his hand. "I'm talking about Narissa. Think about that temper of hers. Don't you think Miss Firecracker is an apt nickname for her?"

Everyone was stunned. Danny gave him a thumbs-up again. "You're a brave man for giving Narissa a nickname. You have my respect."

"I'm just being a man," Zephyr declared cockily. "Men should act like men in front of women. Isn't that right, Alexander?"

"Is that true, Alexander?" Elise raised her eyebrows.

"Ahem—" Alexander faked a cough and cleared his throat. "I'm innocent. Don't drag me into this. I respect my wife very much."

"Don't count me in either." Danny swiftly declared where his loyalties lay. He held Ariel's hand as if it was the most precious thing in the world. "I can't even begin to express my love for Ariel."

Zephyr shook his head at the two of them. "The Griffiths' genes are a no-go. You're such an embarrassment to your fellow men! In the future, my woman's going to listen to whatever I tell her and do whatever I say. There's no such thing as saying no to me."

"I hope you'll have the courage to say this again when the time comes," Alexander commented loftily.

"I'm telling you right now! I, Zephyr Lorwhal, will broadcast a live stream of myself running around naked if I ever become scared of my wife!"

Elise and Alexander exchanged looks. They were going to wait patiently until the day when Zephyr would have to eat his words.

Outside the barbecue restaurant.

Narissa and Jamie stood by the side of the road facing each other. One had her arms crossed in fury while the other hung his head low like a deflated balloon.

After holding it in for some time, Narissa finally exploded. "Here you go again. You're always clamming up whenever you're alone with me. Are you trying to make it seem like I'm bullying you?"

"That's not it. It's just that I never know what to say. I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing and make you even angrier," Jamie mumbled despondently.

"Does that mean I won't be angry if you just keep quiet? Have you forgotten how we nearly missed our chance to be together?"

"I haven't!" Jamie became rather frantic. "I know very well just how difficult it was for us to end up together. That's why I was afraid that Zephyr would get injured. As long as nothing happens to him, Alicia will soon recover fully, and when that happens, I won't have to waste any time with anyone else instead of you. I'm doing all of this so that I can be with you!"

"At least you're convincing enough." Narissa's temper cooled off just as quickly as it flared up, but she still bore a grudge against Zephyr. "Either way, you're not allowed to behave the way you did just now in front of that guy ever again! It's humiliating for me!"

Zephyr was her nemesis. Not only did Jamie protect him, but he even brought up other women in front of him. How was she supposed to have the confidence to fight back against him in the future?
