Linda blushed and smiled softly.
“Why so sudden?” Zephyr looked at them. “Nicholas, you just got stable in Centrolis, and there are many
connections to build. You’ll definitely be busy. Isn’t it too much of a rush to host a wedding now?”
“No, we can’t wait!” Nicholas was grinning wide. “If we wait any longer, we’ll have to host a baby shower as well!”
“What?” Cordelia and Zephyr were surprised.
Linda confirmed it. “I’m pregnant. Two months.”
Cordelia was thrilled and emotional, going around Linda again and again. The latter’s figure had not changed. She
was still tall and slim. Who could have known that there was already a baby in her womb!?
“Linda, why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

that you know now. You’re the kid’s godmother, and you’re not running away!”
“Who’s running away? I’m going to prepare a huge gift for my godson!”
“How do you know it’s a son? I want a daughter!”
Both girls giggled, imagining what the baby would be like as they ate.
Zephyr’s gaze dimmed as he walked away and opened another can of beer.
“Hey.” Someone patted his shoulder suddenly. “What’s the matter? Upset that you have a godson?”
He turned back. Nicholas was tipsy as he grinned dumbly at him.
“Of course I’m happy.” Zephyr’s voice was low. “Congrats! You and Linda finally got here.”
Nicholas also opened a can of beer and clinked it with Zephyr’s before downing half of it.
“Being close to me in Centrolis means you’re against Yale Hamerton.” Zephyr looked at him. “Be careful. You’re
going to be a father now. With something to lose, you have to be more cautious.”
“Mm, I know.” Nicholas chuckled. “Yale’s all about dirty tricks, but I’m trained out of that! Don’t worry.”
“Let me know if you need my help.”
“Actually… I do!” Nicholas furrowed his brows.
His businesses were basically going legal now, and he was currently in the entertainment industry.
Sol Entertainment had popped out of the blue in Centrolis and signed plenty of major celebrities once it made its
debut. The company was said to have connections in the legal and underground scene. It was capable, but its
background support was mysterious. That was why anyone of status in the entertainment industry wanted to sign
with the company.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe exception was Neil.
Nicholas saw his commercial value and had sent people to talk to him a few times. Neil’s agent had shown his
goodwill, but Neil was stubborn and refused to express his stand till now.
“The company’s going to host an event, and it’ll be my first appearance in Centrolis.” Nicholas said, “Neil has a
certain standing in showbiz, so if he can come, my company shares will definitely go up!”
Zephyr frowned. Why was it Neil Harris again!?
He was hardly at peace with the fact that Cordelia had interviewed him the last time.
“Can you get someone else?” He looked at Nicholas. “Didn’t you sign on many award-winning actors?”
“Who’s as outstanding as Neil Harris in terms of achievements?”
Zephyr scowled and stayed silent.
Realization dawned on Nicholas after a while, and he asked with a grin, “You seem to have an opinion about him?”
“Heh…” He turned to look at Cordelia and continued to ask with a grin, “Is the actor eyeing your little bunny?”
