"WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

Ezra approached along with a frown across his face. "Shit.." And it was when Vera mumbled.

Did he hear the conversation? No, he could not hear anything.

Things could not be ruined. She had many to accomplish. "Uncle, she is-"

Zane commenced to complain. Yet, Vera interrupted in panic. "He was attempting to talk, love"

She flashed a smile.

"Did he need to raise his hand at you?" Ezra raised his right brow.

"Uncle, listen. She used to be my-" Once again, Zane attempted to detail the situation.

But of course, Vera would never let it occur. Never in her life.

"Please be quiet, my dear. I am trying to help you. You don't have to concern I might expose you"

The dirty trick she used.

Upsetting Zane Kingston entirely.

Take a look at her wicked scheme! She played really well here.

"Don't pick on her just because you think you can. She is not someone you should disrespect as you wish"

Wrapping his arm around Vera's waist, Ezra alerted his nephew.

It brought a grin upon Vera's face.

What a satisfying situation.

"Uncle, you might think she is pure and has spotless background. But I may have to warn you about her"

Zane voiced. Startling Vera a bit. No, he could not speak up the truth. He could not ruin everything.

He had no right to!

"Warn about what, my dear? Are you perhaps going to tell how I am not a good match for him? Or maybe something you made up of just to separate us? What could it be?"

With her brows wrinkled, Vera asked in curiosity. Irritating Zane wholly.

She kept interrupting.

She must be petrified that he might reveal the bitter truth to his uncle.

"You seem scared, Vera Charlene. Do you have anything hidden from my uncle perhaps?"

Zane questioned back.

"Enough is enough. I am not here to listen to you disrespecting my wife"

Beneath a cold gaze, Ezra broke the heated chat between the two.

"You should reconsider about your actions towards her, Zane Kingston. I am not going to let you continue that behavior towards her in future"

He added up.

Showing the authority he held upon his nephew as Vera pressed her lips tightly to restrain laughter.

What a sight truly! Look at Zane Kingston clenching his jaw so hard.

The view of his face reddening in exasperation satisfied her in every way. She relished this moment.

"Congrats. May you have a happy married life. Excuse us"

Without waiting for his nephew to speak up even, Ezra walked away with his wife in his arm.

"Did he lay hand on you?"

The man asked once they two walked away from the place.

"No, you arrived on time, my husband" Vera beamed.

She peered up at the man with that bright smile. Making eye contact.

And the silence covered. Ezra had no smile nor hint of relief reflecting in his gaze. He had a calm face on.
