Zennie grinned mischievously with Seth wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Together, they flashed the
engagement rings on their hands.
Everyone crowded over for a look.
Josiah cried, “Whoa! You two kept it down, huh? When did you get engaged?”
Nicholas kept up his new money ways as always. “Seth, I think this ring doesn’t cut it! You want to take Zennie away
with this mere carat—”
Before he finished his sentence, Linda’s fist greeted his head. “Shut up if you don’t know what to say!”
Nicholas’ handsome face scrunched up in grievance.
“I think the ring is beautiful.” Kelly smiled. “The carat doesn’t matter. What matters is the intention to stay by each
other’s side forever!”
“Yeap, that’s it! The intention!”

There was only one person who did not look too happy.
Zephyr quietly watched Zennie, who was engulfed in happiness.
It was strange. He was angry when Seth was clueless in the past. Now that Seth and Zennie were together and
engaged, he was feeling upset… His baby sister, whom he had pampered all this while, was getting married…
When they each had a family, they would not be siblings but relatives now. Thinking of this felt like a sour pill in
Zephyr’s throat.
“Darling, what’s wrong?” Cordelia held his arm gently.
Zephyr smiled, his gaze growing more indulging as he looked at the person in front of him.
“Are you upset that Zennie’s getting married?”
“Of course I’m happy,” he said barely above a whisper. “It’s just… If Seth dares to mistreat her in the future, I won’t
let him off easy!”
“Mm, that’s right!” Carter’s gleeful voice suddenly came from the back. “Zephyr, if you dare to mistreat my sister, I
won’t let you off easy either!”
“What is it? What?” The group came over here for the drama. “Who’s mistreating who?”
“Oh yeah!” Trinity suddenly spoke up. “I heard that there’s a special ceremony in Southeast Aciatic weddings where
the bride has to step on the groom’s foot!”
“You’re right, Trinity!” Carter replied with a grin. “Women have higher status in Southeast Aciatic, so according to
the tradition, this ceremony acts as a warning to the groom that he mustn’t mistreat his wife as his wife is always
above him!”
“Oh, always above him?” Nicholas cackled. “Then it shouldn’t be the foot she’s stepping on. It should be the head!”
Zephyr shot him a sharp look in disdain. This was completely useless against Nicholas as he continued to ask, “Have
you two completed the ceremony?”
“I think so…” Trinity browsed her camera. “See, they did it just now!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe video only showed Cordelia lifting her foot to tap on the back of Zephyr’s foot lightly. It was just a ceremony, a
rite, so there was no need to really step with force.
Nicholas was happy to stir up chaos and yelled, “No way! Cordelia, if a woman ain’t tough, her status ain’t enough!
Are you going to let him step all over you when you stepped on him so lightly?”
Zephyr exploded. “Nicholas!”
“You know what? Let me suggest!” Josiah put a hand up with a raise of the brow, smirking alongside Nicholas as
they met eyes.
“Cough, cough, I think all of us here are on Cordelia’s side! As the bride’s guests, we have to help her fortify her
status! Right?
“Sorry, Z!
“Hahaha…”
Before Zephyr could react to what was happening, Josiah and Nicholas pounced him to the lawn. One of them
pinned his shoulders, and the other pinned his legs, trapping him down. Veins popped on Zephyr’s forehead.
“What are you doing? What are you trying to do!?”
Nicholas smirked. “Mr. Z, you weren’t stepped on hard enough during the ceremony, so we’re helping Cordelia to
step on you!”
