Chapter 177
“N!” Nicholas’ men were worried that he might be hurt and were eager to take action.
Nicholas ordered them to back off.
The few of them walked far away unwillingly. Watching them disappearing into the dark, Zephyr put down the pistol.
“That’s right. I found out that you were not Marcus a long time ago.” Nicholas scoffed. “But so what? I didn’t do anything to you even though I found out, did I?”
Zephyr’s face dimmed.
He was right. Moreover, when Yelena came to the shop to bully Cordelia, he showed up to chase them away.
Though that was the case, Zephyr still had a strong suspicion about him.
“You knew that I’m not Marcus.” He looked at him coldly. “Then do you know who I really am?”
Nicholas froze. He peeped at him and suddenly smiled.
“I only know that your woman is my woman’s best friend!”
Zephyr raised his eyebrows.
Nicholas reeked of hooliganism. The scar on his face added viciousness to him.
Was this person an enemy or an ally? Zephyr was quite confused.
“Marcus!” Suddenly, a bright voice came from far away. “Are you in the shop?”
Zephyr and Nicholas looked at each other. They walked out of the bushes.
Seth stood in the courtyard, holding a big box in his hands. However, the smile on his face froze the moment he saw Nicholas.
Zephyr nodded, getting him to control his emotions.
“I saw Cordelia rushing out when I came.” Seth smiled at him. “I think she said she’s getting some coffee beans next door. She’ll come back soon.”
“Okay.”
The shop owners around were pretty much the same age as Cordelia. She was nice, so she made friends very quickly.
They thought of her when new coffee beans arrived. They wanted to give her some to try.
Zephyr looked at Seth. “Why are you here?”
“What else?” Seth carried the big box over, placed it on the table, and handed him the bill.
“Customized wedding dress” was written on it clearly.
Zephyr suddenly thought of the time when Cordelia returned the wedding dress the next day they got married. He hated how the sales assistant treated her, so he bought the most expensive wedding dress in the store.
It cost $4,000, and Cordelia had lectured him for that.
“I dropped by a few days ago,” Seth told him. “It was at your door! You don’t talk to anyone, and nobody walks by your house. God knows how long the box has been there that there’s a layer of dust on it!
“I saw the bill on the box, so I brought it to you.
“Is this the wedding dress that Cordelia wore when you guys got married? Your anniversary is coming, and they’re only sending the dress over now?”
Zephyr remained silent. He merely smiled.
That was right. Time flew by. They had been married for almost a year now.
The dress came at the perfect time! Perhaps getting her to wear it when they celebrated their wedding anniversary would be special.
“Thanks.” Zephyr patted his shoulder. “Sit down and have something to drink. I’ll make it for you!”
“It’s okay!” Seth smiled. “It’s nothing. I need to be at the clinic at night. I have a shift. I won’t be staying.”
“You need to stay awake during your shift. Let me make you a cup of coffee. It’ll be ready in a sec!”
“You really don’t have to—”
“If I don’t, my wife will say that I’m being a terrible host!”
Zephyr turned on the coffee machine as he spoke.
Seth snickered. “Marcus, you’ve changed a lot since you got married.”
“What?”
“You’re so obedient to your wife!”
Zephyr turned around to look at him and chuckled too.
Seth peeped at Nicholas and said softly, “Marcus, didn’t your wife tell you to… stay away from your prison mates?”
Zephyr was stunned. He only understood Seth talking about Nicholas after thinking about it for a moment.
“Marcus, you’re married now. You should live a simple life with Cordelia. You should cut ties with those people.
“Don’t call me a busybody. I’m only telling you this because I treat you like a brother.
“Marcus, thinking about Cordelia no matter what you do… Your life shouldn’t be interrupted by those people!”
“Ugh, I can’t take it anymore!”
Nicholas, who sat at the corner of the counter, kicked the stool hard. He tossed the lighter he was playing with in his hand to the floor and exuded a sinister aura.
The few tables of customers in the shop left before they finished their coffee.
The place seemed to have been smothered in pressure.
“Hah, ‘those people’!” Nicholas scoffed. “So, what kind of a person are you? Do you really think you’re a savior just because you wear a doctor’s coat!?”
Seth looked calm and stared at him fearlessly.
He could not understand why Linda could not forget a person like him!
“I’ve no right to be a savior, but I’m just being a good friend to be advising Marcus!”
“Good friend?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nicholas’ tone was filled with mockery. “Marcus and I became good friends when we were there! How long have you known him!?”
“Mr. Thompson, we talk about fate when it comes to relationships. It’s not a matter of how long we know each other.”
Nicholas clenched his fists.
Fate? Was this guy talking about Linda and him?
Seth continued. “Also, if you’re really treating Marcus as your good friend, why did you humiliate him so many times before? That’s what friends do?”
“That’s between him and me. You have no right to interfere!”
“Marcus is my friend! I’m interfering!”
Zephyr stood in the middle, with Seth and Nicholas standing next to him on each side. He looked terrible.
Forget that they were fighting—they would push him when they were at it!
The rage he was suppressing was on the edge as the two pushed him.
At that moment, Nicholas gave him another hard push.
“Aren’t you a busybody?”
Then Seth pushed him.
“No matter what, I won’t let you destroy my friend!”
“Are… you guys done!?” roared Zephyr.
The place became silent.
However, a lady’s scared voice was heard after the silence. “W-What are you doing?”
The three men were stunned at the same time.
Cordelia was standing at the door, staring at them in astonishment.
Her bright eyes looked through the three men, and she looked at Zephyr in the end. Seth and Nicholas came to their senses at the same time. They let go of Zephyr’s arm immediately.
Cordelia pursed her lips. She wanted to laugh—she could not hold it back!
It was the first time she saw three men stirring up drama.
‘So, the jealousy between men is quite explosive as well.’
“Wifey, I…” Zephyr did not know where to start. He glared fiercely at Seth and Nicholas.
