Zephyr lowered his head in silence.
“So, all of you knew.” Cordelia’s eyes were red. “And all of you hid the truth from me, is that right?”
“Wifey…”
Zephyr was nervous.
They had made a pact that they would not hide anything from each other. No matter what happened, they would
face it together.
However, he had made the same mistake twice!
Zephyr said softly, “Cordelia, I found out about this recently… It’s complicated, but please believe me that I didn’t
hide it from you on purpose.
“I couldn’t be the one that told you that. It had to come from your parents… Can you understand my situation?”
She took a few deep breaths.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was right. How could she blame him? He was troubled too.
Perhaps she would do the same, too, if it were her. She did not receive love from her father for over 20 years, and
she had a father coming out of nowhere. Naturally, the people around her would keep it a secret before the truth
came out.
It was a big deal. Unless the person told her himself, would it not be less legitimate if someone else were to tell her
instead?
However…
Her tears dropped on the back of his hand.
Just like when Zephyr kept his identity secret, she understood it. It made sense to her, but she just could not take it
at first.
“Wifey…” Zephyr hugged her.
Cordelia leaned on him. Tears filled her cheeks, and she felt as if she was sliced by a knife when the chilly wind
blew.
Zephyr wiped her tears gently and said. “Wifey, let’s go home, okay?”
Cordelia said nothing. He removed his jacket and covered her.
“It’s okay. No matter what happens, you’ve got me.
“Let’s go home, Cordelia!”
She nodded while sobbing.
Cordelia was lucky that she had him. She was lucky that he had built her a home that provided her with warmth on
cold nights, a refuge when her world was falling apart.
…
Zephyr was sweet to put on her slippers for her as soon as they got home. He got her to take a hot shower.
Cordelia did as he said. She was stunned when she smelled something delicious after getting out of the shower. He
pulled her to the dining table while smiling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was a pot on the table—it was the spaghetti he had just made.
Cordelia laughed out loud.
It was the best dish he could make. It was considered the best skill he had.
“Stop laughing! Come, eat more!” He put the food on a plate and said to her mysteriously, “This is the improved
version. You must try it!”
“How did you improve it?”
“I added an egg. Can’t you tell?”
She looked closely. Wow, there really was an egg in it.
However, he had merely added an egg into a big pot of spaghetti…
She laughed even more now. It seemed talent was really required in cooking. Some people just could not cook.
Zephyr looked at her gently. “Wifey, although it doesn’t look good, it tastes original.”
Cordelia said coquettishly, “I’m tired. I don’t want to move.”
“Easy, I’ll feed you!”
He got a fork and fed her.
The spaghetti was delicious. Her heart melted from the warmth.
One should not torture their stomachs when they were sad. The saying made sense.
