Chapter 537

Zinnia lightly tapped Nathan’s fingers. Hey, it hurt when you poked me

Nathan’s gaze turned serious. “Stop overthinking things, Zinnia. You’re the most important to me. I have no plans to marry anyone.”

Upon hearing his words, Fiona lowered her gaze and clenched the cards in her hand a little more tightly.

Quincey’s gaze lingered on her, and his lips pressed together.

“Wow, looks like Zinnia’s got some tricks up her sleeve. She actually knows how to play: Fiona exclaimed in surprise as she watched Zinnia play her cards.

She thought Zinnia didn’t look like a novice at all. When Zinnia was young, they had never taught her how to play these games.

Zinnia hesitated for a moment, then set down her cards and replied shyly, “Well, Yannis taught me

“Yannis?” Fiona asked, puzzled. She hadn’t really kept up with what Zinnia had been through over the past six months.

“Yes,” Zinnia nodded, briefly mentioning a few things about Yannis.

“Looks like there’s no shortage of people in Jinston who just love to spoil Zee, Fiona said with a knowing smile.

She looked over at Nathan, wondering if he knew about what had happened between Zinnia and Yannis.

Fiona knew Zinnia well enough to sense the trust and reliance in her voice when she spoke of Yannis. It was a trust that rivaled what she had for Nathan.

Nathan’s expression softened into a warm smile. Zinnia smiled back, but her card skills were mediocre. Halfway through the game, she got stuck and instinctively turned to Nathan for help.

Nathan pointed at a card and said, “Play this one.” His card skills were formidable. If he wanted to, he could anticipate every move on the table.

Noticing that Zinnia hesitated, Nathan lowered his gaze to her. “What’s wrong?” he asked gently.

“Nothing,” Zinnia said, lowering her head. Thinking about cards brought back memories of when Yannis had taught her. Playing with him had always felt so effortless.
