There was a long silence after Zoey's remarks. The family of three had their eyes on Zoey; some in contempt and others dumbfounded.
"Zoey, what do you mean by that?" The first one to recover from the shock was Zion.
The delight plastered on his face gradually turned into a stern look. He stared at Zoey, his eyes unwavering as if he would take action once Zoey answered something he deemed to be wrong.
"Little Zoey, you're joking right?" Sarah awkwardly and softly queried as she forced a positive smile on her lips.
Zachery, on the other hand, smirked. If Zoey was dating an old man out of desperation to save her company, he would be glad. Of course, that would also enrage his wife and son, but he could easily manipulate everyone into h ating the hateful Zoey.
"Hehe. Of course, mom." A wide grin formed on her visage as her eyes narrowed into a thin line.
