Zephyr gave it a thought and said, “Cordelia, I have to… leave for a training camp tomorrow.”
Cordelia paused. “You’re going for competitions again?”
Zephyr glossed it over. “I might stay a few more days out this time.”
Cordelia was a little down, but since this was a career he liked, she would give him her full support.
Zephyr went over and circled her waist with his arms. He buried his face against her neck to inhale her sweet fragrance.
“Honey, remember what I taught you last time?”
Cordelia blinked and went along with what he said without much thought. “Yeah.”
The man smirked. “How much do you remember?”
Cordelia gestured innocently. “If someone attacks me from the front, I do this… If someone comes from the back, I do this…”
When she felt his wrist, he actually hugged her tighter!
Zephyr was strong, and she was flustered when she could not struggle away.
“Honey…
“Ah!”
Zephyr suddenly picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.
It was only then Cordelia snapped out of her daze and punched his chest as she glared at him adorably.
“Those few actions are okay.” Zephyr lowered his voice and chuckled. “Now…”
He pinned her waist down and got on top of her.
…
“Sir, we’re here.” Robert stopped the car outside of the Hamerton Manor.
“Mm.” Zephyr nodded and entered the study room.
Liam had just finished some double-boiled tonic, and the servants left when they saw Zephyr coming in.
The study smelled of tea’s fragrance as Liam fiddled with the tea set. His hair was silver, and he wore a black silk suit. The lines at the corner of his eyes made him look even sterner. The dragon-headed cane stayed next to him.
Zephyr stood before him. His strong innate sense of presence and authority mirrored Liam’s exactly.
“You’re back?” Liam looked up at him with a blank face.
“Yes, grandpa.”
Liam paused. He was direct as he tossed the statement out and spoke, his aged voice brimming with authority. “I need your explanation.”
Zephyr’s gaze darkened.
Liam got up. His eyes looked like two knives were kept in them as he asked each word, “Who is Cordelia Jenner?”
