Chapter 782: Too exceptional for any of you to even mention her name,
Originally, everyone was interested in Zoren’s marriage. Even though it hadn’t been brought up yet, everyone was curious.
Where was the matriarch of the family?
Wasn’t she supposed to come today?
Didn’t Zoren agree to bring Jonathan into the family gathering to avoid talking about his marriage? But with Jonathan out of the picture for the moment, Zoren was leaving himself vulnerable on that front.
’He’s not bluffing, is he?’William wondered to himself, watching Zoren talk to Dean and Lloyd without touching his food. ’Does he want me to bring up his wife? Or is he not prepared?’
But then again, since when had Zoren ever been unprepared for anything? If Zoren could make a move the moment he learned about Jonathan, he would surely have done something to salvage himself from the family’s judgment over a questionable marriage.
Soon, William had to make a decision: Should he bring up Zoren’s marriage? Or let it pass for now?
To him, the latter was more tempting because William wasn’t the type to back down. But then again, he had already lost a few of his bullets before he could fire them. Risking his last shot seemed more likely to miss than to hit. Not to mention, the vicious panther was here, and knowing Zoren, he might order his vicious pet to do something horrible and then call it an accident.
"By the way, Uncle, where’s your wife?" Dean asked meaningfully right after a brief exchange with Zoren. "Everyone was anticipating her presence tonight. However, I don’t see her anywhere. Today was the perfect chance to introduce her to everyone."
"It’s not like your wife is mandated to come," Lloyd added politely. "But since this is a family gathering, it would be better to introduce her to everyone and help her get familiar with us."
