Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 409: If this isn't fate, I don't know what it is!

Zoren arrived at the restaurant early, not wanting to keep his woman waiting. As he sat, he heard a familiar voice outside the private dining room before the door slid open. From the newcomer's scent alone, Zoren immediately knew who it was.

"Ray," he called out, snapping his eyes toward the entrance.

Ray's face lit up as he hurried to take the seat next to Zoren. "Cousin, are you really going to introduce your wife to me?" His excitement was palpable, growing even more when Zoren nodded.

"Really?" he pressed, clasping his hands together. "Did she say yes?"

"Yes."

"Nice!"

Zoren smiled subtly, sensing just how pleased his cousin was. "Though you might need to behave yourself."

"Cousin, I am your only ally! Don't worry, I won't embarrass you at all!" Ray reassured him, his eyes twinkling with curiosity.

What was Zoren's wife like?

From the way Zoren described her, she sounded like a goddess in his eyes— majestic. Ray could already imagine the kind of woman who could capture Zoren's heart.

'Even so, I'm sure she's no better than Penny,' Ray chuckled to himself, not daring to say it aloud for fear of hurting his cousin's feelings. 'I'm just glad he's finally introducing her to me.'

Ray had already prepared a script for when he met Zoren's wife. His plan was to make sure she understood that Zoren was one in a million—a precious man she should take care of.

Snapping his eyes back to Zoren, Ray sighed helplessly. "Cousin, I can't believe I'm meeting your wife so soon."

"I didn't think I'd introduce her to you this soon either."

"What changed?"

Zoren shrugged. "Benjamin."
