Remarriage You 477
Chapter 477 Those Who Are Not Skilled
Upon hearing this, Zephyr knew that Lenora had not kept her promise.
However, he was already prepared. After returning that day, he had someone pull up the surveillance footage and saved a clip of it on his phone.
Upon hearing Sophia's question, he immediately responded, "She's just a nobody. I've already rejected her."
After watching the video, Sophia curled her lips. "Seems like you have quite a few admirers abroad."
"But all I want is you. However, are you willing to accept me, Ms. Tortell?"
Zephyr casually sat sideways, one arm draped over the back of the chair. He leaned in, his upper body gradually closing the distance. The faint scent of agarwood accompanying his assertive masculine aura enveloped Sophia. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his expression gentle. There was a faint smile playing on his lips, giving off the impression of a charming yet mischievous gentleman.
Sophia was momentarily lost in thought.
""Ms. Tortell?"
The handsome face before her loomed larger once again, a warm breath brushing against her skin. Sophia finally snapped back to reality, leaning back and patting her chest. "You startled me... Let's go, off to the food street." She rose to her feet and swiftly walked away.
Her hasty footsteps and frantic silhouette betrayed a sense of panic, as if she was being chased by a predator.
With a sly grin tugging at the corners of his lips, Zephyr rose to his feet and swiftly followed.noveldrama
In the last row, a woman wearing a mask had her eyes fixated on the pair. As she saw them leave, she paused for moment, then silently rose and followed their departing figures.
With a few quick strides, Zephyr caught up with Sophia and said, "My car is on the second basement level. The elevator is over here."
As he walked, he asked, "What were you laughing at just now?"
"Ah, what a shame. I thought you were cheated on," Sophia replied with a sigh.
What a pity.
"I've only ever been with you, and if I were to be cheated on, you would be the culprit."
Listening to Zephyr's words, which seemed to be spoken in jest, Sophia maintained her composure. "You seem to look forward to it? I can go to a bar right now and make it happen," she retorted.
"Bars are full of easy people, unlike me, who only has eyes for you..."
Suddenly, Sophia remembered. It was during the summer vacation after the college entrance exam when she and Zephyr had stayed up till midnight together...
Back then, they were young and naive. It took them a long time to figure things out. At that moment, Sophia almost kicked Zephyr off the bed.
Wait a minute.
Her eyes sparkled, a faint blush gracing her ears as she cut him off. "I don't like those who aren't skilled."
"So, you have learned how to judge one's skill now? Seems like you've already experienced some decent techniques, haven't you?"
"Right," Sophia nodded. "Each one of them is older and more impressive than you are."
Upon hearing this, Zephyr quickly grabbed Sophia's arm, pinning her against the wall. He leaned in closely, lowering his voice to a suggestive whisper. "They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I've grown a lot and learned a lot. Would you like to see for yourself?" The warm breath he exhaled entirely caressed her ear.
Grown up a lot...
The thought of an indescribable scene slowly brought a blush to Sophia's ears.
However, she remained defiant. "Didn't you say that I was the only one? Where did you learn all that? By practicing in front of a mirror?"
""Of course not."
Sophia raised an eyebrow.
"I looked at your picture."
"Ah, Zephyr! I swear I'm going to kill you!"
Sophia's face instantly turned red in anger. She pushed him away and landed two punches on his chest.
With a smile, Zephyr ran off into the distance, while Sophia playfully chased after him aggressively.
To a bystander, it seemed as if they were flirting and playfully chasing each other.
At the elevator entrance, Zephyr took a deep breath, and with a smile, he embraced Sophia, who had been pounding on his chest. "Alright, alright, in all fairness, you can do the same to my photo..." ""Shut up, you!"
"If you don't have my picture, I'll take a couple for you when I get back..."
"Zephyr!"
The elevator doors slid open and the two of them stepped in one after the other. They then headed to the underground parking garage.
Around the corner, the woman in the mask replayed the scene she had just witnessed in her mind. Her fists clenched tightly by her sides. Her gaze lowered, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes.
If Lenora had been there, she would have undoubtedly recognized the woman wearing the mask as Alice.
The latter had come to Jacaster for Zephyr. When Zephyr traveled to Cutvine a couple of days ago, she followed suit.
Isla had inquired with Zephyr's secretary and found the hotel he was staying in, which she then relayed to Alice.
Initially, Alice truly believed that Zephyr came to Cutvine for business purposes. However, as time passed, she began to sense that something was amiss, as Zephyr was not busy at all.
He even had the luxury of time to check out the authentic restaurants, food streets, and tourist spots in Cutvine. It didn't seem like he was there on business, but rather, it appeared as though he was on vacation.
It wasn't until that day, upon witnessing Zephyr and Sophia together, that Alice truly understood everything.
So, it turns out that Caesare isn't
into Fay at all, but rather, he is
smitten with her friend, Sophia! He. didn't come here for business but is actually here because of her. He had researched the restaurants and
attractions of Cutvine in advance, all for the sake of taking Sophia there today!
Alice was consumed by jealousy.
Since Caesar returned to the Wilson family, he often presented himself with a gentle and refined demeanor. He was mature, steady, cool, and restrained. No matter what happened, he was always calm and
composed, never losing hie
composure, as if he had everything under control.
However, his gentleness was not genuine, but a deceptive facade he put on to mislead others. When it came to rejecting someone, he could be colder than anyone else.
It was this very side that Alice saw that day.
He could be speak sarcastically yet be subtly seductive. He could also burst into hearty laughter while being intimidating. He would let himself frolic and chase Sophia around, just like a child. Alice realized then that this was probably his true nature.
The Caesare in Fairlake is someone who is wearing a mask. Only in front of Sophia would he remove his mask, revealing his true self.
The epiphany filled Alice with gloom.
Her chances of winning his heart seemed to have dwindled even more.
On the way to the food street, Zephyr casually asked, "So, how do you explain the incident of being cuckolded? What led you to this misunderstanding?"
""It was Isla."
"Isla? What did she say?"
From Zephyr's confused expression, it was clear he truly didn't know. Sophia raised an eyebrow and sighed. "It seems Isla hid it pretty well."
"Stop beating around the bush."
"Do you know that Isla has a child?"
Zephyr paused, looking at Sophia. "Are you kidding me?"
"Watch where you're driving."
"Oh."
"I only found out about it not too long ago myself. I'm quite familiar with that child. She's lively and adorable. It's just a pity..."
"Can you get straight to the point?"
"I refuse!" Sophia snorted. "Can you guess who the child's father is?"
Zephyr pondered for a moment.
Isla's sudden idea to return to
Jacaster is indeed strange. Could it be related to this? Is the father of that child from Jacaster? Not too long age, he visited Fairlake, and he might be the only one who can catch Isla's eye. She is, after all, Known for her high standards.
"Don't tell me it's Zachary?"
"Wow, your guess is spot on."
Zephyr was shocked.
He recalled that the first time he saw Zachary, he found him familiar and not because the latter resembled Ezekiel.
Reflecting back, he finally understood where this sense of familiarity came from.
Years ago, Isla had been traveling around, and upon her return, she told him that she had met an incredibly handsome man on her flight to Sydney.
The flight was lengthy, and while the man was asleep, she secretly snapped a photo of him.
But, since when did Isla have a child with Zachary? What is going on here?
What do you think?
