This was not just the reason he had to marry Nelly. This was also the reason Nelly repeatedly boasted in front of her! The girl had a strong family background to back her up!
Cordelia bit her lips and suddenly felt upset, so she shoved him away.
Zephyr was startled and carefully observed her expression, not missing even a subtle one out.
“What’s wrong, honey?”
“Nothing.” Cordelia’s face was blank, and she regretted a little the moment she pushed him away.
She knew that she was throwing an unreasonable tantrum again, but she just cared that another woman had eyes for her man!
Zephyr grinned obsequiously and tried to put his hand back on her shoulder. “If it’s nothing… let’s sleep earlier?”
“Go ahead. I still have work.”
“You still have work!?” Zephyr’s tone changed.
Cordelia gave him a glance, and his temper simmered out immediately. He forced a smile and held her hand to negotiate nicely.
“Cordelia, it’s so late now. Stop working… You work so hard all the time. It’s fine to take a break.”
“No.” Cordelia stood firm.
Zephyr began to pester her and hugged her tightly from the back with his chin resting on her shoulder.
“Darling, I don’t have enough allowance this month…”
“Hmm?”
The man smirked. “Give me a chance to prove myself. Let me make some cigarette money!”
“Zephyr, you—”
Before Cordelia could say more, she was picked up by Zephyr, and he darted into the bedroom.
Zephyr kissed her softly. His husky voice was endlessly indulging.
“I’ll marry into your family and take your last name, yeah?”
Cordelia felt her heart leap and a pinch on her nose. Her tears rushed up.
Zephyr smiled. His tender “Silly” was the last straw that broke the dam.
“I mean it.” He looked into her eyes. “If you think it’s hard to enter my world, then stand there and stay there. I’ll come to you.
“Cordelia, it’s the same whoever moves. Because we both know that none of us will just stand there. We’ll run toward each other.”
“Zephyr…”
Cordelia stretched her arms to hug his neck and kissed him on the lips.
Zephyr finally got what he wanted…
