Nelly began to show that she was able and virtuous. “Zephyr, this suit has a rather old design. Why don’t you get changed?”

Zephyr paused and turned to look at her with an icy stare.

Nelly dared not speak anymore and quietly drank the appetizer soup. The others dared not comment more, either.

Wherever Zephyr was, there was an intangible pressure. No matter how spacious and open the living room was, one found it hard to breathe.

Zephyr suddenly spoke up with a faint smile. “Grandpa, it’s our family dinner today, right?”

Liam nodded in puzzlement.

“Is it appropriate to invite an outsider since it’s a family dinner?”

He was obviously referring to Nelly.

Liam’s face fell a little as he answered, “How’s Ms. Tanner an outsider? Since it’s a family dinner, she naturally has to attend.”

“Yeah, that’s right.” Matthew chuckled in chorus. “How’s Nelly an outsider based on our relationship with the Tanners? She’s not one!”

“Really?” Zephyr looked at him. “Not to you, Uncle Matthew?”

Matthew’s heart dropped, cautious about the trap Zephyr set for him.

“Ms. Tanner isn’t an outsider to you. Does this mean you already see her as a candidate to be your daughter-in-law?”

“You— What are you saying?” Matthew nearly choked.
