I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 406

"She has a boyfriend!" Mr. Lancaster Sr.'s face darkened with anger, and his heart ached again. "That boy has such high standards, who could he possibly approve of? It's so strange. How did he meet a girl like that and silently sponsor her for so many years? If he was interested in her, why did he agree to marry Zephyra? He's the one who chose Zephyra in the first place!"

"What a scoundrel, wasting Zephyra's sincere feelings like that. Isn't that Verna girl going to grad school? Get her out of the country. I don't want her back for at least three to five years. She's nothing but trouble."

Back at the hospital entrance, as I watched Mr. Lancaster Sr.'s car drive away, Gordon spoke softly beside me. "Ms. Jones, you aren't really going to become Mr. Lancaster's... sister, are you?"

I looked at Gordon, noticing the slight bruise on his cheek and his pained expression. Instead of answering, I asked, "My brother can be a bit heavy-handed. Are you okay?"

Gordon quickly shook his head. "Mr. Lopez is a passionate young man. It's normal for him to be a bit aggressive at his age. I just never would have guessed he was your brother. No wonder you protect him so fiercely."

I said quietly, "And I never expected Steven to protect Verna so much, yet refuse to even give her a proper title."

Mr. Lancaster Sr. asked him directly just now. It was the perfect opportunity for him to admit it, but he didn't.

Gordon bit his lip, looking conflicted. "I don't know the specifics, but Mr. Lancaster is certainly good to Ms. Garcia, and she relies on him. But to say there's a romantic relationship between them... All I can say is, it's like you and Horace. Even though Mr. Lancaster cares, and you've even said you like Horace several times, I don't believe you actually love him."

My heart skipped a beat. Just as I was about to say something, Ryan stormed out, fuming.

He shoved Gordon aside. "Back off！Stay away from my sister."

I quickly pulled him back. "What's wrong?"
