Chapter 364: Chapter 364 Whispers and Whimsy

Cecilia ’s pov

Before Zane could finish, Martha shut him down without blinking.

"Zane, stay out of it. This doesn’t concern you."

She flicked her hand like she was swatting a mosquito.

The look on her face said it all. She was annoyed, and she didn’t care who saw it.

Zane froze. His face turned a mix of red and pale, like he’d just been slapped in front of the entire school cafeteria.

"Fine," he muttered, voice tight. "I’m always the problem, right ? I’ll just disappear. That should fix everything."

He turned and stormed off. Every step screamed wounded pride and teenage drama.

I felt a chill crawl up my back.

My brain jumped straight to the worst-case scenario.

What was he about to say before Martha shut him down ?

Was he seriously about to claim I’m his and Esther’s daughter ?

The thought hit me like a bucket of ice water.

That’s insane.

...Right ?

Martha let out a long sigh. "I’m sorry about my son. He’s... not always thinking straight."

Cassian cleared his throat.

"That’s a pretty generous way to describe it, Grandma."

Sebastian didn’t miss a beat. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Maybe Cassian could take him in for a proper evaluation sometime. If the local options aren’t great, I can recommend someone in Denver."

I turned to him, genuinely impressed.

"How do you stay so calm when things get weird ?"

He gave me a small shrug, like he didn’t even have to think about it.

"Practice."

Martha looked ready to drop the topic, and honestly, no one wanted to keep talking about Zane’s mental health.

Sebastian and I took the hint and excused ourselves.

Cassian stayed behind with Martha, playing the good grandson.

As we stepped out into the garden, I spotted Zane sitting alone by the rose bushes.

He looked like a man unraveling.

His posture was so dramatic he looked like he was having a heart-to-heart with the flowers.

The image was almost funny.

"Don’t look. Don’t engage."

I kept my eyes forward, like I hadn’t even seen him. That part was easy. I didn’t want to open the door to any more of his nonsense.
