“Is it my fault then?”Janine felt guilty when she yelled this. After all, she was the one who had recognized the wrong person first, mistaking Yelena, who had been messing around with Yale, as Cordelia.However, being unreasonable had always been her style.She cleared her throat and glanced at Zephyr, forcefully turning the table around. “Cordelia’s wonderful. Why didn’t you let me meet her sooner? You just don’t want us in-laws to meet, do you?”Zephyr was rendered speechless. He remembered a certain someone saying that his marriage did not only concern the Hamertons but also the Bakers. The same someone had also said that he had to choose either Cordelia or her if he dared marry Cordelia.“Mom.” Zephyr was exasperated. “Can you be a little more reasonable? Weren’t you—”“I said I have a daughter-in-law I like, but you weren’t willing at all and even threatened me with pulling your shares out!”Zephyr was baffled. The blame game could be played this way?He looked at Cordeli

“The project requires people from the University of Centrolis’ design department, and Murphy Tanner is on the board of trustees.” Zephyr scoffed. “It’s also one lucrative project that everyone wants in, so the Tanners definitely aren’t missing this chance.“More like Nelly Tanner isn’t missing this chance to get close to you? This way, she’ll have an excuse to visit the Hamerton Group every day to discuss work with you!”Zephyr glared at him. His cold gaze told him that he should shut up if he had nothing better to say.Nicholas only cackled more gleefully. After that, he patted Zephyr’s shoulder seriously. “To be honest, I am the boss of an entertainment company and not much in the high society of Centrolis. But one word from you, and I’ll do my best!”“Thanks.” Zephyr patted his wrist as well. “But Nicholas, you probably don’t know that I’m only working for someone too, yeah?”“Huh?”“Make a guess. Who’s the big boss behind this plot of land and the listed companies Donmein and

“You brought Cordelia to meet your mother?” asked Liam.“Yes,” answered Zephyr. “My mom likes her very much.”“Hah!” Matthew snorted. “Zephyr, Ms. Jenner is really something, huh!? What trick did she play that she won over Madam Baker, who’s so dominant and picky?”Zephyr’s gaze darkened.His uncle had said this to create an impression that Cordelia was scheming to his grandfather.Liam was already dissatisfied with Cordelia’s family background, and it would be harder to win his acknowledgment with the addition of the label of a scheming woman.Zephyr took in a deep breath and chortled. “Cordelia does get along very well with my mom. This one, she does better than you!”“What did you say?” Matthew frowned. “Zephyr, why are you getting me involved?”“I’m just stating a fact.”Zephyr twirled his pen leisurely. “Uncle Matthew, all these years you’ve spent with my mom, you don’t seem to have received any positive comment?“Even though she’s a little picky, she’s a good judge of p

It went quiet all of a sudden.Cordelia’s eyes were cast down as she held her hands together and remained silent.Janine and Xyla exchanged a look and smiled, leaving tactfully. The young couple needed some private space right now.“Robert, take us around somewhere else,” instructed Janine.Robert caught what she meant instantly and went to start the car. Only the ever-jolly Josiah stood rooted dumbly and stared at the two of them.He grinned. “Z, sis-in-law, you don’t have to bring anything. I’ve set the place up for you. You can pack your bag and check in anytime!”Cordelia looked up and met Zephyr’s deep gaze.Zephyr grew a little nervous. “Cordelia, I won’t force you if you’re reluctant.”Cordelia could not help chuckling inwardly. “I won’t force you”… Ever since she learned about his real identity, these four words seemed to have grown in his mouth!She wondered if he knew that she sometimes quite wished that he would “force” her a little…Sometimes, she thought of the o

Zephyr was wearing it on his hand, so Cordelia was able to compare them straight away.They were really identical. Even the design of the bell and weaving method was the same.The couple exchanged a look and nodded in unison. Zephyr held Cordelia’s hand, and they swiftly left Royal Manor.They drove to the hot spring hotel close to the beach. The air smelled slightly salty as well. After getting out of the car, they took the winding path and heard a familiar voice not too long later.“Young lady, your life ahead is great!“Hmm… but romantic relationship-wise, it’s a bit weaker. Hah, you two will part sooner or later!”Cordelia’s heart squeezed as she quickened her steps.The one standing there was still that old woman. She was reading a tourist’s palm with a small smile that looked like she knew everything.Cordelia froze and heard the old woman say, “But one day, you’ll be happy!”Was this not what she had told them back then as well?“These two bracelets are for you.” The o
