Zephyr wanted to pat his shoulder, but his hand froze in the air. He only put it down after a while.
…
Cordelia lay in his embrace when he went home that night as they slacked off on the bed.
It was late, but she could not sleep. The dazzling stars shone through the photo frame in the dark
room. She looked into the night sky. It felt like it had been forever since she could admire the night so
peacefully.
Knowing that she was warm, Zephyr fanned her while staring at her beautiful side profile with his head
low. His heart jolted.
He gulped, and a subtle surge of warmth rose.
Cordelia looked at the sweat on the tip of his nose. She felt embarrassed that he would keep the air
conditioning off to save money. “Hubby, turn on the air conditioner if you’re warm. It doesn’t cost much.”

The warmth they meant was completely different.
Zephyr took a deep breath. He had his eyes on her fair neck and slightly opened small lips. He smiled,
and his hand naughtily slipped into her clothes.
However, he heard her let out a sigh at the moment.
“What’s wrong?” He suddenly stopped.
Cordelia looked like she had something on her mind. She was not focusing on what he did at all.
Thus, he took advantage of her by proceeding to do what he was doing.
“Why are you sighing, wifey?”
“I’m thinking about Linda and Nicholas.”
“Oh…” He tutted. “I thought nothing was happening with them? Why are you thinking about them?”
‘Why are you thinking about them now? Think about your husband!’
Zephyr licked his lips again.
“I think it’s impossible that it’s over between them just like this.” Cordelia looked at him with her bright,
big eyes. “She told me their story. Can I tell you the story?”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
“Hubby, do you not want to listen?”
Zephyr looked at her. He did not want to disappoint her because she had the urge to share.
Therefore, the Mr. Z, who had been spoiled for over 20 years, finally knew what “forcing a smile” was
like.
He forced a smile in an extremely unnatural manner and squeezed out “I do” with great effort.
Cordelia smiled heartily. She told the story as she leaned on him. He already knew the story, but he
would nod, smile, frown, or comment every now and then just to go along with her.
He wanted her to know that he was listening to her, as well as empathizing with her.

She finally finished the story after a long time. She lifted her eyes to look at him as if stars were
twinkling in her eyes.
“What do you think, hubby?”
“Hmm?” Zephyr snapped back to his senses. He tried his best to recall what she said.
He coughed softly and fell into silence for a moment.
In reality, he had gained respect for Nicholas after finding out that he was put behind bars for hurting
someone just to protect Linda.
He must have treated him as Marcus to be stirring trouble with him, all that just to protect her as well.
It was good that a man was responsible—it was just that he was misunderstood.
“I think… Nicholas isn’t a man who is heartless.” Zephyr’s eyes dimmed. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have
done so much for her.”
“Really?” Cordelia bit her lip. “But I don’t like how he treated you! And you’re siding with him now?
“Hubby, what grudge do you guys have against each other exactly?”
