Zephyr smiled helplessly and was going to retort when Zennie suddenly came back and told him softly, “Don’t get too worked up when you get to the table in a while.”
“Why?”
“Just…” She looked like she was anticipating a good show. “You might not be able to get anything in!”
Zephyr paused and walked to the table swiftly.
Well, Zennie was right…
There was a stern hint in Liam’s smile as he took a seat at the main chair with an impassive gaze scanning everyone.
As for the seat that was supposed to be Zephyr’s, Nelly was actually sitting next to it!
“Zephyr, why are you standing there?” Liam urged him, “Have a seat.”
Zephyr’s expression was dark as he walked to Nelly with clenched fists.
The servant pulled out the chair to let Zephyr take a seat politely.
Everyone’s gaze was on him.
His relationship with Cordelia had gotten around the family. Every Hamerton knew that he had met the girl when he was recuperating in Jangasas. All of them also knew that he had confronted his grandfather several times for that girl.
Today, the patriarch of the Hamertons had actually asked Nelly to attend the family dinner… Was this not an announcement that he only acknowledged Nelly as his granddaughter-in-law?
“There’s no loss in a marriage with the Tanners,” someone commented softly. “Why’s our Mr. Z so stubborn?”
“Hah, he’s used to things going his way. What does he know about sacrificing for the family’s benefits!?”
“Look at what he’s wearing. That suit is of an awful quality!”
Nelly could not help glancing at Zephyr.
His clothes had always come from haute couture designers from fashion weeks, but what he currently wore… It was obvious it was something cheap from a shop.
