Chapter 17 Watching the stunt plane soar across the blue sky, Nicolas felt a bit dazed. 'Is... Zoya at the controls?' he couldn't help but wonder. The plane even pulled off several tricky maneuvers that even an amateur like him knew were tough. The crowd below kept gasping in amazement. ( 23 5 vouchers "What, stunned speechless?" Eowyn taunted. "You're so pathetic, thinking Zoe would be jealous of Jasmine just because Jasmine could fly a plane. You underestimate her." Nicolas' face turned bright red, That comment stung like a real blow to the ego.

For a moment, he had no idea how to respond." After a while, Zoya's plane slowly landed, and she stepped out, looking sharp. Nicolas walked up. "You really... can fly a plane." "So what if I can? Big deal, right?" Zoya said nonchalantly.. Nicolas felt his ears burn. Before she boarded, he thought she was just jealous of Jasmine and boasting out of pride. He thought she was overconfident and clueless/ Now he realized she genuinely didn't care. If one already had mountains of gold, they wouldn't care about others' little stash. "When did you... learn to fly a plane?" Nicolas's voice cracked.

He only knew she was a military veteran, not that she could fly a plane. Zoya sneered at him. "Now you wanna know about my past?" Back when he proposed, she wanted to share her history, but he just said, "Your past doesn't matter to me; I care about the future." She thought he truly cared about their future. Only later did she realize he didn't care about her, so he didn't want to know her past. Nicolas looked flustered. Just then, a few guys walked over. It was his buddies. "Nicolas, Jasmine's looking for you at the exhibit hall. What are you doing here?" Darren and his gang came up.

Seeing Zoya, they immediately sneered, "Is Zoya bothering you again?" "No... it's not," Nicolas said, a bit awkward. But his buddies weren't buying it. One even taunted Zoya maliciously, "Zoya, you said before that flying a plane wasn't a big deal, right? Well then, why don't you show us now!" "As if she could! If it weren't for Jasmine still recovering from that fall from the horse last time, she'd be able to see the real gap between her and Jasmine today!" The mocking laughter rang in Zoya's ears. Eowyn rushed forward to scold, "Nicolas, are you even a man?

Letting your friends insult your own wife like this?" Chapter 17 Nicolas's expression stiffened. 5 vouchers Zoya pulled Eowyn back, her face cold as she looked at Nicolas and his buddies. "The difference between people isn't measured by whether they can fly a plane or not. Who do you think you are to insult me just because I married Nicolas?" The group was instantly silenced. Zoya didn't wait for their response and directly dragged Eowyn away. Darren finally let out a cold laugh. "How dare Zoya say something like that? Make her pay, Nicolas.

She needs to learn her place." "Enough!" Nicolas snapped angrily, his face dark. "Zoya is my wife. No matter what, you shouldn't look down on her!" Especially after what he just saw-Zoya's flying skills in front of him, which made him feel a burning embarrassment. "What's wrong with you? You're the one who kept saying she's good for nothing. If it weren't for Jasmine walking out on you, you wouldn't have even looked her way," Darren retorted impatiently. Nicolas was at a loss for words. Yes, those were things he'd complained about to his buddies when he was drunk.

But was Zoya really that incompetent? At the very least, the projects she handled at the company never caused him any trouble. And she could tame a runaway horse, even perform difficult aerial maneuvers in a plane. These things weighed on his mind like a heavy burden, making him hard to breathe. His wife of three years suddenly felt like a stranger to him.. "Alright, don't let a Zoya mess up our bro-ship, someone advised. "Nicolas, go to the exhibition hall ahead. Jasmine's been looking for you." Nicolas nodded and headed towards the exhibition hall.

His mind was still a chaotic mess, filled with visions of Zoya piloting the plane earlier. As he passed by the exhibition hall, Jasmine approached, asking, "What's wrong? You look pale." "It's nothing. Maybe just been busy with company stuff lately," Nicolas replied. "Sit here and take a break," Jasmine suggested. Nicolas sat down, drank some water, and finally felt a bit better. At the center of the exhibition hall, there was a screen, displaying footage of the open space behind the exhibition hall. "The flight show will start soon.

Too bad my injury hasn't fully healed, or I'd join this flight performance," Jasmine said. Nicolas hesitated, "Is the flight show that hard?" "Of course, it's no easy feat for an ordinary pilot to perform well," Jasmine said with a hint of pride. Normally, Nicolas would praise Jasmine, but thinking of Zoya's aerial maneuvers earlier, those words felt stuck in his throat. Soon, the flight show began. Nicolas spotted the very plane Zoya had flown earlier, now part of the performance.

23 5 vouchers Chapter 17 Due to the distance from the camera to the planes, it was impossible to see who was inside them. Yet, Nicolas had an inexplicable intuition that Zoya must be the one inside that plane. Watching the flight show, Jasmine suddenly remarked, "Oh, right, when Darren and his friends visited me earlier, they mentioned Zoya. She actually claimed flying a plane isn't a big deal, how arrogant." Nicolas pursed his lips, managing to say, "What if she's not arrogant?" Jasmine frowned, scoffing, "Someone who's never flown a plane before saying that isn't arrogance?

Nicolas, are you defending her?" "I'm not defending her, but what if she can fly a plane?"
