Zephyr stopped walking, his back tall and aloof. He snapped his head around to stare at Nelly with a smirk. His icy gaze was mocking.

“Marriage?

“Ms. Tanner, when did we have a marriage agreement?”

Nelly’s heart thumped as she widened her eyes.

“From my understanding, a marriage agreement exists on the basis of mutual willingness. It’s a pity. I don’t think we’re equipped with that condition!”

“Zephyr, you—”

“I think it’s better that you address me as Mr. Hamerton.” Zephyr sneered. “Ms. Tanner, we aren’t so familiar with each other that we can call each other by names!”

He swiveled directly after speaking and left Nelly alone, stunned.

His back eventually vanished from her sight. Nelly gnashed her teeth and calmed herself down before she entered the study.

Liam did not look good either.

Nelly saw the shattered tea set on the floor and the dragon-headed cane that lay on the side. Just looking at these was enough for her to know how heated the argument was between the grandfather and grandson earlier.

She did not want to get involved in this situation and was going to leave after some courteous consolation when she suddenly heard a phone buzz on the tea table.

“Grandpa, this is…”

Liam took a glance. “Zephyr probably forgot it here. Nelly, send it to him.”

Nelly was more than happy to comply.

“Advise him when you see him,” Liam said faintly and arched a brow at her. “Nelly, I know that you’re a generous child. You won’t keep some kind of score with him, right?”

Nelly was stunned. She had vaguely heard something about a lover outside the door earlier… Was Liam hinting to her that Zephyr would have women outside even if they got married in the future?

She bit her lips and forced a smile.

“Grandpa, you know me. I’m not one for trouble. I can accept everything about him as long as Zephyr’s happy.”

“Really?”

Zephyr has someone he likes, it’s not like he can’t keep her around. Hah, which rich heir isn’t a womanizer? If this girl can
