The Three Little Guardian Angels

Chapter 2735

Zephir lifted his head subconsciously, feeling that he had just been overwhelmed by a cat.

Ursule bit the straw in her glass and chuckled. “Kisses is just being a little over-enthusiastic, so don’t mind it, sir.”

Zephir held the troublesome cat away from his face and frowned. “Sir?”

“Although you look young, you’re about the same age as Mr. Quigg, aren’t you?”

Zephir was at a loss for words.

‘Did she misunderstand anything about my age?’

He looked down at the cat in his arms and gently stroked its soft fur. “Yale is four years older than me.” “Okay, then let’s do some basic Math. Mr. Quigg is four years older than you, so you’re already 30 years old and 11 years older than me, so shouldn’t I address you as sir?”

‘I wasn’t even born yet when he was 11 years old.’

Zephir glanced at her.

‘She’s indeed only a young adult.’

“Meow!” Kisses pulled at Zephir’s clothes with its paws and even poked its head deeper into his arms. Ursule was so frightened that she took it from him immediately and explained with an embarrassed expression, “I’m sorry. Kisses can be way too enthusiastic when it’s around males. After all, it’s a she.” After grabbing it into her arms, Ursule patted it on the head. “How can you jerk on other people’s clothes? You pervert!”

Zephir straightened his clothes and brushed off the cat hair on his shirt.

Ursule took a closer look at him secretly.

‘This man might be a little older than I am, but he’s still pretty good-looking.’

After some time, Ursule became even more acquainted with Zephir, while the latter did not distance himself from Kisses as much as he did at the beginning, and he had been caressing it more often.

The sunshine outside the window felt warm. He was sitting on the couch reading a magazine while Kisses was lying beside him and taking a nap.

Zephir turned his head, stared at it, raised his hand, and stroked its fur gently. Kisses opened its eyes at first, saw that it was him, licked his hand, and lay back down.

The corners of Zephir’s lips twitched and curled upward.

Yale and Ursule were standing at the front desk. They turned their heads around and glanced into the living room.

Yale smiled and said in a low voice, “Urs, everyone seems to just love Kisses. It actually managed to make that fella fall for it.”

Ursule stared at him for quite some time, then leaned over and asked, “Mr. Quigg, he’s so strange. Why would such a good-looking man be even nerdier than I am?”

Yale cleared his throat and lowered his voice. “You can’t call him a nerd. What he’s been doing all this while is hiding his strengths and biding his time.”

“Why would he need to do so?”

“You’re still young. We’re talking about the adults’ world-”

“Stop it. I’m now an adult too, so don’t even try to talk me down with the excuse that I’m still young.” Ursule interrupted him ruthlessly.

Yale was helpless. “Alright, you keep asking what he’s up to. What’s up with that? Are you in the mood of gossiping again?”

Ursule pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word while her gaze was fixed on Zephir, who was holding Kisses.

‘It’s probably because this man feels quite lonely to me. Apart from being extremely nerdy, he doesn’t talk to anyone apart from Mr. Quigg and the people working here as if he has no interest in this world.’

Back in Bassburgh…

The Younges’ engagement ceremony was held in the banquet hall.

Waylon brought Cameron along to attend the ceremony.

Morrison, who was having a drink with the elders of his family, saw them and walked up to them with a wine glass. “Wayne, you’re late.”

Waylon gave off a grin. “Congratulations, you actually got engaged so soon.’

“If I don’t get engaged now, should I wait until my fiancee runs away with some other man?” Morrison handed him a wine glass. “I’ll suffer a huge loss if that’s the case.”

‘Especially when Leah attracts a whole lot of attention abroad.’

Cameron looked around. “Where’s Ms. Younge? Why haven’t I seen her?”

Morrison lowered his gaze and took a glimpse at his watch. “I guess she’s still in the dressing room.”
