Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1182

Cordelia had prepared a rose jelly dessert specifically for Zephyr. How could Zephyr bear to share it?

Zuko also got a bowl of dessert for his younger brother. Toph set his phone aside, picked up the food, and enjoyed it with his older brother, expressing his satisfaction.

Cordelia said, looking at Zuko, "You came back so late today. Did you see Lina home?"

"Yeah," Zuko replied, pausing to think about Nicholas' expression. He turned it into a joke and shared it with his parents.

Cordelia smiled helplessly and glanced at Zephyr.

Zephyr suddenly remembered the way Rowan used to look at him. It seemed that all fathers-in-law felt the same way...

Fortunately, he didn't have a daughter. If he did, his son-in-law would surely suffer.

From his son's perspective, Zephyr had an idea...

Zephyr smirked, sat down next to Zuko, and gently placed his hand on his shoulder. He whispered, "Nicholas is quite petty... Son, didn't your grandfather give you the silver needles?"

Zuko was taken aback. "Dad, what do you mean?"

"Give him a little poke and see if he dares to stand at the door and glare at you again in the middle of the night!"

"Uh..."

Toph burst into laughter. "Dad, you're so mischievous! After going through so much yourself, you still want Uncle Nicholas to experience it!"

"Nonsense!" Zephyr frowned. "Your grandfather treated me so well back then. How could he bear to poke me?"

"Oh..." Toph pretended to be serious. "Then, Mr. Hamerton, please explain why my grandfather always calls you a brat."

"Toph Hamerton!"

Zephyr raised his hand to scold Toph, but Toph quickly hid behind Zuko for protection. "Dad, calm down! Calm down!"

Zuko's hand trembled, and the belt fell to the floor, making a loud clanging sound as the metal buckle hit the floor.

It broke Zephyr's heart.

"Um... Mom!" Toph chuckled carelessly. "We were just having a late-night snack and wanted to move around, so we were just joking around with dad!"

Cordelia walked over, picked up the belt, and gently fastened it around Zephyr's waist. Their eyes met, and they both smiled lightly. Suddenly, the whole living room seemed to be filled with a romantic ambiance.

Toph exaggeratedly shuddered and silently told Zuko through his lips that he had goosebumps all over.

Zuko pursed his lips and stood next to his younger brother, muttering similar complaints.

"Pft!" The two brothers looked at each other and burst into laughter together.

Toph changed the topic. "Oh, by the way, Renee's mother has been recovering well recently and will be discharged from the hospital!"
