“I think it’s a girl.” Linda stroked her belly. “The baby’s behaving well and considerate. People’s morning sickness
comes in all forms, nauseous, dizziness, and whatnot, but I don’t have any reaction. I eat and sleep well!”
“Linda…” Cordelia laughed. “It’s not the baby who’s considerate toward you. It’s Nicholas!”
She looked toward the kitchen.
While they chatted, Nicholas was preparing Linda’s meal there. It was well balanced with meat and vegetables. It
also looked, smelled, and tasted great. The meal was even served in pretty plates and bowls. It was like a prop for a
food commercial!
Zephyr, who leaned against the kitchen door, was astonished. He recalled the breakfast he made for Cordelia—
burnt toasts, burnt eggs, and oatmeal without many oats…
He thought that he would never reach Nicholas’ level in this lifetime.
“Why are you spaced out?” Nicholas wiped his hands as he admired his handiwork, discovering a small problem.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Nope… Linda gets upset once she smells carrots. I need to pick these diced carrots out!”
He then took a spoon and scooped them out one by one.
Zephyr patted his shoulder and gave him a big thumbs up.
“No need to admire me.” Nicholas flicked his heir and chortled. “You know what? I’m already like this, and she still
gives me a hard time!”
“Why?”
“Hormonal imbalance, I guess.” Nicholas shrugged. “But it’s okay. It’s the wife I chose. Got to pamper her even on
my knees!”
“Mm, commendable spirit.”
“She has my baby, after all! How can I not be nice?”
Zephyr chuckled and cleared his throat, saying in a deep voice, “Right, I have something to tell you.”
“What?”
“Neil Harris, you can’t have him anymore.”
Nicholas’ mind went blank before he had the impulse to grab the chopping knife to swing it at Zephyr.
A few seconds later, Cordelia and Linda heard clinks and clanks coming from the kitchen…
“Zephyr Hamerton!” Nicholas wanted to hit him with a ladle. “I f*cking tested over 300 lipsticks! Over 300!
“You said you’d get Neil for me! You f*cker!”
‘D*mnit! No one dared play me like this when I was in the gangs!’
Zephyr took the spatula and sparred with Nicholas. In the end, he was overpowered and forced to a corner.
“Alright, quit it!” Zephyr tried to hold in his laugh to make himself look sterner. “Look at you. Which part of you looks
like a gang leader? You look more like an unreasonable barbarian!”
“You!” Nicholas’ eyes widened in a glare.
“You think I want him to go to Imperial Media?” Zephyr scowled.
The fact that Neil had signed with Imperial Media meant that he received the best treatment. Who knew whether
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJanine would let her senior assistant be his agent to express her sincerity…
Zephyr balled his hands. Would he want Cordelia to be around that man all day?
Nicholas calmed down and asked as he looked at him, “What do you mean?”
Zephyr smirked. “I’ve done what my mother asked for, pulled all the strings to sign Neil over. But the credit goes to
Cordelia.”
“Hah, I knew it!” Nicholas rolled his eyes. “You really resort to everything to win your girl’s favor!”
“He’s signed, but I didn’t say I’d give him the resources.”
“Hmm?”
“Basically…” Zephyr’s eyes were dark. “I won’t let him stand out too much!”
Nicholas was smart and caught on swiftly. This was probably Mr. Z Hamerton’s jealousy and possessiveness at play.
Nicholas chuckled darkly. “Oh, you want me to play Mr. Harris with you? Single him out? Shelf him?”
Zephyr glared at him.
It was like he was asking if Nicholas was in or not. They were bros, so he had to take his side and do it with him.
Nicholas scoffed. “Do you know anything about Neil’s background?”
