Seeing Sophia’s composed expression, showing no signs of jealousy, Zephyr pressed his lips together and took a sip of water. “Isla is often praised for having a good eye.”
“For shitty men, maybe.”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
The waiter began to serve the dishes one after another, which included a bottle of expensive white wine. Sophia uncorked the bottle of wine, pouring a glass for herself and then another for Zephyr. Zephyr didn’t drink, instead, he noticed that Sophia had already downed two glasses in no time at all. Seeing Sophia reaching to pour more into her glass, he cautioned, “Don’t drink so much.”
“It’s none of your business!” Sophia retorted without any hesitation and then filled her glass to the brim once again.
Just as she was about to take a drink, Zephyr teased with a smirk and a hint of smug satisfaction in his tone, “Don’t tell me you’re jealous because you found out I have a girlfriend?”
Sophia paused as if she had just heard a joke. “Jealous? Me getting jealous over you? Are you kidding me? In your dream!”
“Why are you drinking so much then?”
“I just have some upsetting thoughts.”
“I can tell you’re just jealous.”
“I’m not jealous!”
“Yes, you are!”
A twitch tugged at the corner of Sophia’s mouth as she set her glass down on the table. “Fine, I’m not drinking anymore, happy?”
Zephyr quirked an eyebrow, his lips unconsciously curved into a smile. Seeing Sophia glance his way, he quickly schooled his features and lamented theatrically, I thought you’re still hung up on me!”
“Hah!”
In order to save time, Lenora and her group didn’t return to the hotel for lunch. Instead, they grabbed a quick bite outside before rushing off to the next filming location.
After a full day of travel, Lenora was utterly exhausted, her feet aching and sore.
Halfway through, Zachary had carried her on his back like she weighed nothing.
Upon returning to the hotel, Lenora collapsed onto the couch, not wanting to move an inch.

After finishing her lunch, Sophia went straight back to the hotel. After some rest, she casually strolled around the city before returning,
Seeing Lenora and Fiona looking quite worn out, she took the initiative to order takeout for four people.
By the time the takeout arrived, Lenora had already regained her energy and turned to Sophia, asking. “How was your lunch with Zephyr today? He didn’t do anything inappropriate, did he?”
Sophia shook her head and said, “No.”
“You seem a bit unhappy?”
“No way! There’s no such thing!” Sophia immediately denied it.
I was simply irritated that Zephyr already had a girlfriend ye had the audacity to flirt with me, acting as if he wanted to rekindle our past relationship. Ugh, jerk! In retrospect, I wonder how on earth I ever fell for someone like him!
The next afternoon, the group made their way back to Jacaster. After getting off the highway, Lenora bid farewell to Ezekiel and the rest.
Jerry drove straight to the airport.
That morning, he received a call from Bertram, demanding that Ezekiel return to Jeahron immediately?
In an instant, Ezekiel understood the purpose behind his father’s summon.
An hour later, Ezekiel boarded the plane headed for Jeahron.
Two hours later, the plane landed at Jeahron’s airport. A driver was already waiting. As soon as Ezekiel disembarked, he hopped into the car and headed straight for the Hoffman residence.
The Hoffman residence wasn’t old at all. It was a quaint mansion situated in the heart of Jeahron. Its location was prime real estate. It was as valuable as an antique house.
The car pulled into the courtyard, and Ezekiel got out, striding into the living room.
Donovan Hoffman was sitting on the carpet, engrossed in playing with building blocks, but his expression immediately turned guarded at Ezekiel’s return. With a swift motion, he stood up from the ground. “Zeke.”
Donovan was born to Bertram when he was fifty years old. The age gap between Donovan and Ezekiel was considerable, so they didn’t spend much time together Moreover, they didn’t share the same mother, which made him particularly fearful of Ezekiel.
“Hmm.” Ezekiel responded nonchalantly, took off his coat, hung it on the rack, and slipped on his slippers.. “Where’s Dad?”
A commanding voice came from inside. “Come in.”
It was striking how much he resembled Ezekiel, making it clear that he too had been a strikingly handsome man in his youth.
Bertram no longer concealed his intentions and ordered. “Manage the projects well since you’ve already seized them. Return to Jeahron immediately, and stop singling out the Fuller family from now on.”
Bertram also laughed, but there was no mirth in his eyes. “Future development plans, huh? Do you think I’m too old and incapable of taking charge any more that you’re now even trying to pull the wool over my eyes?”
