No Remarriage: You Don't Deserve Me (Lenora and Zachary)

Chapter 364 Your Wingman

Chapter 364 Your Wingman

Lenora could never have imagined that Howard would actually resort to spiking her drink with illegal drugs.

When he was in Jeahron, he had always spoken against her, but Lenora knew that she couldn't possibly gain everyone's approval.

But had she somehow offended Howard?

No.

He did this to her simply because he didn't like her. It was utterly outrageous.

It wasn't that bad since this was the first time he had targeted her this way. However, if Howard took advantage of her unpreparedness again, would she become an addict?

At this thought, a chill ran through Lenora's entire body.

"Who's this person? They appear to be together." The officer pointed to the woman next to Howard.

Lenora furrowed her brows. "Summer!"

Could it be that Howard's inexplicable hostility toward her was because of Summer?

The police officer turned his gaze toward 'Sophia. She waved her hand dismissively. "I don't know him." The police officer turned his gaze back to Lenora. "Have you had any issues with them before?" Lenora pointed at Howard. "I have nothing to do with him, but I do have "Tell me in detail."

Zephyr, with his arms crossed over his chest, peered thoughtfully at Lenora through his glasses.

Summer had a thing for Ezekiel. Though he had only spent a single night at the Hoffman residence, he could tell right away.

Furthermore, Ezekiel took a liking to Lenora.

Most likely, it was due to this reason that Summer targeted Lenora.

However, to their surprise, the words that came out of Lenora's mouth next left both him and Sophia utterly shocked.

Surprisingly, Ezekiel's stepmother turned out to be Lenora's biological mother. This meant that Lenora and Summer were cousins, but they had been at odds since childhood. Not too long ago, Summer even stole Lenora's photography work.

The police officer asked a few more questions and then turned to Lenora and Sophia. "All right," he said. "once you've paid the fine, you're free to go. Be extra careful in the future. If there's any follow-up needed, Tll contact you."

After leaving the police station, Sophia was chattering way relentlessly, pulling Lenora along with be Zephyr trailed behind them, strolling at his own pace,

"Nora, so you're saying Ezekiel is somewhat like a brother to you? I never imagined you two had such a connection. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I only found out recently myself. After more than twenty years apart, they might not even want to acknowledge me. So, there's not much to talk about," Lenora said. Her eyes flicked over to Zephyr standing behind her, and she asked, "What's the matter? If I had told you so you have done?" "Of course, I would ask you to be my wingman. Why let outsiders have all the benefits?" Sophia blunted

out.

After she finished speaking, a chill ran down Sophia's spine.

Zephyr's poignant voice echoed from behind. "Set you up? Why let outsiders have all the benefits?

Sophia swallowed, turning back to glance at him, her expression serious. "Is there a problem?" she asked. Zephyr gave a fake smile. "You can try to get his attention now. I'll even play wingman for you "There's no need for that..."

"I'll call him right now and tell him you're interested in him." Zephyr took out his phone, looking as if he was about to dial a number.

"No need!" Sophia hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Out of nowhere, Zephyr extended his leather shoe toward her.

Sophia stumbled and found herself falling straight into Zephyr's arms.

She looked up, their eyes locked in an intense stare-off

Changing the subject, Lenora said, "Mr. Yankovich, I'll be taking a taxi home with Soph. Please feel free to do as you wish."

Once Sophia came to her senses, she immediately pulled away from Zephyr's embrace and waved her hand, saying, "Bye-bye."

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

"Aren't you girls leaving too?"

"We're waiting for the car."

I'm also waiting for my ride."

Sophia was baffled.

She turned her face away, refusing to speak with Zephyr.

Unsure if it was due to the late hour or some other reason, they spent several minutes hailing, a ride through the app, but no one accepted their request.

Lenora was just about to suggest Sophia give it a try on her phone when suddenly a car drove up, coming to a halt right in front of them.

The passenger-side window rolled down, revealing Ezekiel's handsome face.

He tilted his head, signaling them, "Get in. I'll drive you guys home."

Lenora didn't decline. "Thanks, Ezekiel."

She took the initiative to open the backseat car door and slide in, with Sophia following closely behind her. Just as she was about to close the door, it was abruptly held open from the outside by Zephyr. "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?"

Their eyes met, and simultaneously, they both spoke.

Zephyr swung the car door open. "Of course, I'm going to ride in the car. Scoot over a bit."

Sophia belatedly realized that he knew Ezekiel and that it was he who had informed him. Surely, Ezekiel would have offered him a ride.

She pouted, reluctantly shifting herself inward with a sense of discontent in her heart.

Zephyr entered and shut the door behind him.

A familiar, delicate scent wafted up to Sophia's nose.

Lenora asked, "Ezekiel, what brings you here?"

"Zephyr informed me," Ezekiel responded, "You're okay, aren't you? Were you frightened tonight?"

"I'm fine."

"Did you figure out what happened?"

"I... I've figured it out."

Ezekiel turned to look at her. "Who was it?"

Lenora hesitated for a moment.

Zephyr spoke up. "It's Summer and a guy named Howard."

Ezekiel paused, turning his gaze toward Zephyr.

The latter gently nodded in confirmation.

A sudden fierce glint flashed in Ezekiel's eyes, reminiscent of a demon from hell, but it was fleeting. His gaze shifted to Lenora, and with an apologetic smile, he said, "I'm sorry, Nora. I failed to control my

family and friends. I assure you. I will hold the Winfrey family accountable for this."

Lenora chuckled. "Ezekiel, it has nothing to do with you."

Ezekiel was Ezekiel, and Summer was Summer.

Ezekiel turned his head back, focusing on the road ahead. He narrowed his eyes, their depths filled with solemnity.

It seemed he had overly indulged Summer to the point where she truly believed she could do anything she liked.

Zephyr leaned against the chair back, his long legs casually relaxed. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "This matter hasn't escalated, has it?"

"It's already been taken care of."

After overhearing a few words between them, Lenora finally understood. Their departure had been filmed and casually uploaded onto the internet, which had given rise to countless rumors.

Summer had just been berated online for allegedly stealing photographic work, to the point where she didn't even want to open her social media accounts anymore. Now that she had this opportunity, would she let Lenora off the hook? No way.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as the video and related content were posted online, the topic was deleted. There wasn't a trace of it to be found on the internet.

With gratitude, Lenora cast a glance at Ezekiel.

If things were to escalate online, Lenora could only imagine the amount of backlash she would receive.

She didn't want to go through such an experience again.

The car pulled up to Lenora and Sophia's residential area, where both bid farewell to Ezekiel before exiting the vehicle one after the other.

Once the two of them had entered the residential area, the car started moving again.

Zephyr had shifted slightly from the spot where Sophia was just sitting, settling into a more comfortable position. His legs crossed, and he took his time to study Ezekiel's profile and attire.

With some reluctance, Zephyr admitted that Ezekiel was indeed quite a good catch.

Did Sophia favor such a style now?

"Why are you looking at me?" Ezekiel glanced back at him.

Snapping back to reality, Zephyr asked, "Ezekiel, what are you planning to do with your cousin? And about your stepmother..."

"Do whatever you want with her. Do I need to consider her feelings?" A hint of coldness flashed in Ezekiel's eyes, his tone indifferent as if Jasmine and Summer were insignificant as ants.

Zephyr smiled. He could somewhat understand Ezekiel

On the surface, Ezekiel appeared to respect Jasmine. However, in his heart, he didn't really consider her significant at all.

She and Donovan posed no threat to him.

Indeed, it was for this reason that Ezekiel was able to tolerate Jasmine's entrance into the Hoffman family in the past. He not only adhered to his father's wishes but also dealt a severe blow to Tamara.

An enemy of one's enemy was one's friend. It was a principle that Ezekiel adhered to. As long as it made life difficult for Tamara, he was more than happy to extend a measure of respect to Jasmine. Zephyr thought back to Lenora's background.

When he first received the news, he thought about giving Ezekiel a heads up, just in case Jasmine used Lenora as a stepping stone.

The thought of Sophia, of all people, having once harbored feelings for Ezekiel made Zephyr lose his will to speak.

Though there was a hint of innocence in Ezekiel.

suddenly

"Why are you smiling?" Ezekiel glanced at him through the rearview mirror, a slight frown creasing his brows. "You look so sly when you smile."

"Did I smile?" Zephyr spread his hands out.
