Cordelia pulled her hand back abruptly and glared at him with her pretty eyes. She was adorable.
Zephyr froze.
It was then Cordelia finally broke out laughing.
She stroked the diamond and rested her head on his shoulder, saying softly, “I don’t like this ring. I like the emerald
one better.”
“Hmm?” Zephyr smiled. “Sure! They’re all yours! You decide!”
He had already given her all he had when they first met.
“But that’s antique, Cordelia,” he said.
“Antique’s the valuable one!” Cordelia grinned sweetly. “Wasn’t that worn when one of your ancestors was a
consort?”
Zephyr pinched her nose. “You’re no consort.”
Cordelia smiled without saying anything.

seductive next to her ear.
“You’re not a consort…
“You’re my queen!”
Cordelia blushed immediately.
Zephyr had finally dispelled the last of the ominous fog and felt immensely content when Cordelia’s hands went
around his neck.
“So, Michelle isn’t your first love?” Cordelia’s voice was like a kitten’s when she asked him the question softly.
Zephyr was momentarily stunned. ‘This is why she wore a poker face for the whole night?
‘What? How did she come to the conclusion that Michelle was my first love!?’
He snapped back to reality. “Cordelia, who did you hear this from?”
Cordelia pressed her lips together in a silent smile. She now knew that Linda must have misheard!
“Cordelia, I initially thought that I didn’t have to tell you this,” Zephyr said softly. “But with this big misunderstanding
tonight, I have to explain it to you.”
It was still early. Cordelia got into a comfortable position in his embrace and listened to the story quietly.
“Michelle’s someone Frederic has had a crush on since high school,” Zephyr said honestly. “I had forgotten about
this, actually. If Josiah hadn’t mentioned it, I really couldn’t have recalled it.”
“She was… popular in your school?” asked Cordelia.
Zephyr stammered with an awkward smile. “Josiah said that she’s the most popular girl in school.”
“What about you? Do you think so too?”
“Of course not!” Zephyr answered firmly, but he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Cordelia giggled with a hand over her mouth. “Mm, go on.”
Zephyr forgot what he was going to say and calmed himself down to continue slowly. “I didn’t expect Frederic to still
like her now and also didn’t expect that… Trinity likes Frederic.”
“What!?” Cordelia was shocked.
It was no wonder that Trinity wore that face when Cordelia brought Michelle up back then. They had such a love

“But Frederic doesn’t seem to know about Trinity’s feelings!” Cordelia thought about it and said, “All his attention
was on Michelle tonight!”
“This is where he’s silly,” Zephyr said softly. “He knows that it’s impossible. He sees the woman’s character. But he
just won’t give up.”
Cordelia sighed.
How many people in love could keep a cool head? Moreover, the calmer and more rational a person usually was,
the crazier they were in relationships.
“What are you thinking about?” Zephyr kissed her hair.
The faint sweet fragrance made him delirious.
Cordelia chuckled, her eyes shining with mischief. “I’m wondering who your first love is.”
“It’s you,” Zephyr answered without any hesitation.
He did not care if it was a trap question because it was unnecessary to think about it.
Even if she found him fake or assumed that he was coaxing her, it would not change his answer.
She was the unforgettable love, the one he wanted—she was the one all along.
Zephyr kissed the back of her hand.
The moment his lips touched her skin, Cordelia suddenly felt butterflies like when they first met.
