Chapter 385

Zeke quickly turned toward her and shot her an icy look. “Don't spout nonsense.”

Zoey scoffed and raised her voice as she protested, “Zeke has been quite close with Juliana recently. I bet he's falling for her.”

Steven's expression darkened the moment he heard those words. “Isn't she from the Hoffman family in Adrune? Zeke, how did you end up being around a girl from that family? Don't you know that the Hoffman family doesn't allow one of their own to marry a foreigner? You're looking for trouble.”

In response, Zeke sighed softly after glancing at Zoey for a moment. In a flat tone, he said, “That girl likes me, but I've already rejected her countless times.”

The tenseness in Steven's expression eased up right away, and he reprimanded, “You must be careful. Don't fool around with someone you can't afford to mess with.”

“All right,” Zeke replied.

Steven mulled over it for a while and added, “Your marriage with Shirley is settled, then. We'll go over to the Gourd residence in Lostaria to propose the marriage.”

Zeke rubbed his temples and responded helplessly, “I'm really not planning on getting married anytime soon, Dad. If you're so free, why don't you worry about Zoey's future instead? After all, she's a girl and already twenty-six. It's about time she marries and has a family of her own.”

“Zeke!” Zoey stomped her feet and grumbled, “Why must you drag me into this?”

“You started it first.”

“You—”
