Chapter 998

"Come with me now, Jamie!"

Narissa stormed out of the restaurant. Jamie knew he was in the wrong, so he hung his head low and followed her out.

Once the two were gone, Zephyr sat back down and started drinking Narissa's yogurt smoothie again as if nothing happened.

Danny gave him a thumbs-up. "An excellent move indeed by deflecting the enemy. You've directed the conflict into one between the couple instead."

Zephyr didn't think too much about it and kept sucking on the straw. "I have to admit that this yogurt smoothie tastes pretty good. Miss Firecracker has good taste."

"Who's Miss Firecracker? Is one of your friends coming?" Elise asked cluelessly.

Zephyr waved his hand. "I'm talking about Narissa. Think about that temper of hers. Don't you think Miss Firecracker is an apt nickname for her?"

Everyone was stunned. Danny gave him a thumbs-up again. "You're a brave man for giving Narissa a nickname. You have my respect."

"I'm just being a man," Zephyr declared cockily. "Men should act like men in front of women. Isn't that right, Alexander?"

"Is that true, Alexander?" Elise raised her eyebrows.

"Ahem—" Alexander faked a cough and cleared his throat. "I'm innocent. Don't drag me into this. I respect my wife very much."

"Don't count me in either." Danny swiftly declared where his loyalties lay. He held Ariel's hand as if it was the most precious thing in the world. "I can't even begin to express my love for Ariel."
