Cordelia looked at him quietly with furrowed brows. Complicated emotions played in her beautiful eyes. She did not
hope that it was true, but Alexander’s kindness toward them was truly illogical.
She bit her lips, not looking too happy.
Zephyr hurried to her with a pandering smile.
She glanced at him and pushed him away lightly to keep a distance between them.
“I think… Alexander feels differently about you.”
“What?” Zephyr heard his ears buzzing and was frozen for a long time. “Cordelia, you… Why would you think so?”
“It’s not what I think. It’s him behaving too abnormally.” Cordelia’s voice turned deep. “Don’t you think he’s too nice
to us? You thought he liked me initially, but that’s not even it!
“Honey, I think he… he likes you!”
Cordelia’s aggrieved voice was tinged with helplessness.
A woman’s sixth sense would never be wrong. She turned away and could not help tightening her hold around Zuko
with her heart pounding.

What the heck was this!? A voice in his heart began to holler hysterically, ‘This woman’s gone crazy after becoming
a mother, either overreacting or being skeptical all day long!’
She… was even suspecting that a man liked him now! Did she not know how he usually treated her? Would her
conscience be clear this way!?
Why did she not become a script writer with how wild her imagination was!? How infuriating!
In spite of it, Mr. Z Hamerton turned right into a docile little lamb after shouting in his own mind. He was all smiles
as he approached his wife and wrapped his strong arms around her from her back.
“Darling…” His voice was light and gentle as he indulgently pushed the tip of his nose into her hair. “What’s in your
little head these days? Don’t overthink it. You’re tired for the whole day. Let’s take a good rest first.”
Unexpectedly, Cordelia refused to play along. She shook left and right and struggled free from his hold. Turning
around with a stern face, she looked like the cool female cop in films.
Zephyr wondered if he should crouch down now with his hands on his head and shout, “Madam, I’m at fault!
“Cordelia, I’ll speak… I’ll speak.” He licked his lips and came clean. “I went to the same university as Alexander, but
he knew me, and I didn’t know him then!”
Cordelia jutted her chin. “So, you mean you’re so charismatic that there were a bunch of guys and girls crushing on
you? And I must’ve saved the world in my last life to be able to marry you?”
“No!” Zephyr denied it without even thinking, breaking out in cold sweat.
“Go on!”
“I… I was the boxing team captain in school back then and once walked into a few kids bullying Alexander, so I
helped him. I actually forgot about it a long time ago and didn’t come across him anymore. If he didn’t mention it
when we met previously, I wouldn’t have remembered this at all…”
“You two met in private previously?”
“…”
Sh*t! The more he explained it, the worse it got!
“Cordelia, let me explain.” Zephyr lost his brain-to-mouth filter due to his panic. “I met Alexander back then
because I thought he liked you, and I wanted to intimidate and warn him to stay away from you!”
“Hah!” Cordelia chuckled, “Surprise, he doesn’t even like me! That meeting must be just what he wished for, huh!?”

Cordelia’s jealousy bubbled and erupted like a volcano.
“Looks like you’ve had a good chat and even talked about the old times. You managed to recall what you’ve
forgotten too!”
“…”
“Zephyr Hamerton!”
Cordelia was furious.
This time, Zephyr was really panicking. He was regretful, anxious, and worried that Cordelia being angry would be
bad for her health… like certain breastfeeding women stopped producing milk once they got emotional! Not only
would their son not have breastmilk by then, but she would have to suffer too!
As Cordelia puffed her cheeks with anger evident in her big eyes, she actually looked kind of adorable.
Zephyr looked at her quietly before he smiled and went downstairs.
Cordelia was taken aback and followed him carrying their son, but Zephyr moved fast and soon went to the front
yard through the living room.
The butlers and servants were perplexed as they looked at her in confusion.
