Coolest Girl in Town

"That's slander!" Alexander raised three fingers and vowed, "Honey, you're the only person I have in my heart."

Ever since their reunion, Alexander had become an expert in dousing his wife with sweet nothings.

"I'll accept that." Elise wasn't trying to pick on him for real anyway. "Come on. Let's eat somewhere else."

True enough, women still enjoyed hearing sweet nothings no matter what age they were.

"What do you want to eat?" Alexander asked.

"Hmm… How about some barbecue? It's a little chilly today and the grilled meat will warm us up," Elise suggested.

"Let's do it. Barbecue's fun when more people are eating together. I'll call a few others to join us."

Alexander began making his calls.

Thus, apart from the couple, those seated around the table at the barbecue restaurant later included Danny, Ariel, and Narissa, who came alone.

Danny and Elise were recently reunited after their separation, so they acted like a lovey-dovey, honeymooning couple. Elise was getting goosebumps from their displays of affection.

"Hey! Can you guys rein it in a little?" Elise grumbled before turning to Narissa. "Where's Jamie? Wasn't he supposed to come with you?"

Narissa was about to respond when Zephyr strolled over.

"Why didn't you invite me along for some barbecue, Alexander? That's not very nice of you guys," Zephyr commented as he sat down on the empty seat beside Narissa.

"You must have been a dog in your past life. Look at how good your sense of smell is," Narissa said scornfully.

Zephyr glanced at her, but he didn't respond. Instead, he picked up the cutlery and began digging in.

Danny's eyes swept over them by chance, and when he noticed that they were wearing the same-colored tops, he joked, "When did you two start getting along so well? Look at you. You're even dressed in matching couple outfits."

Elise and the others hadn't noticed this at first, but once they heard what Danny said, they realized that he was right.

Although Zephyr came across as a carefree, irresponsible guy, there was no denying that he dressed in a cool, stylish manner. His white lab coat made him look like a world-renowned scientist.
