Zennie gave Cordelia a big hug while she was stunned.
“It’s been a while, sis! Didn’t you miss me?”
Cordelia smiled and pinched her nose.
“Of course I did! Life is less fun without you making so much noise around me!”
Zennie laughed wholeheartedly. She was overjoyed.
Cordelia could not help but have her interest piqued by the middle-aged lady behind Zennie.
Although she was well-maintained, she had a perm on her short hair and wore a bright suit with the
brand logo all over it, carrying a limited edition Acmes bag. She looked ridiculous in her get-up.
“Ahem!” The lady coughed.
Zennie pulled her over immediately and introduced her to Cordelia. “Sis, this is my mom. She came all
the way here to visit me!”
Cordelia was stunned. ‘So, it is Mrs. Hamerton.’

brand logos.
She did not want to seem rude, so she could only hold back her laughter.
Zennie made a face. “Madam Kate Miller, this is Cordelia, my best friend in Jangasas!”
Kate removed her sunglasses and took a good look at her.
‘So this is Cordelia.
‘The Cordelia who… took Zephyr’s heart as if he had lost his soul, the person who makes the high and
mighty Mr. Z disguise himself in Jangasas as a decent husband?’
Kate frowned.
Cordelia did not look special at a glance. She was fair and skinny, pure and clean. When it came to
judging whether she was beautiful, her features were indeed pretty.
However, she was nothing compared to the ladies around Zephyr!
She could not believe Zephyr was charmed by an insignificant lady!
“Mom!” Zennie poked her with her elbow and signaled her. “Stop staring!”
“O-Oh!” Kate snapped back to her senses and immediately smiled. “You’re so beautiful, Ms. Jenner.
You’re managing the shop well! I can tell that you’re pretty capable!”
Cordelia smiled shyly and got them a table.
They sat in the courtyard. Although the sun was shining, the air was slightly chilly at the end of
summer. The irises danced in the breeze.
Cordelia thought she would return to the shop to make coffee after chatting for a little bit.
At that moment, Zephyr walked out of the shop.
“Wifey, the cookies are ready!”
Kate was surprised.
She saw him wearing a regular T-shirt and jeans. He even ran out like a big boy with an apron on his
neck.

Zephyr smiled when he saw Cordelia. He bumped his forehead into hers and gave her a kiss on her
cheek.
He had never smiled like that at home.
Kate was so shocked she failed to snap back to her senses for a moment.
Meanwhile, Zephyr was stunned the moment he saw her.
Soon, the smile on his face disappeared. His usual coldness and alertness replaced it.
Cordelia held his arm while smiling. “Hubby, this lady is Zennie’s mother. She came to visit her.”
“Oh, h-he’s your husband!” Zennie quickly eased the situation. “Mom, he’s Marcus Grist, Cordelia’s
husband.”
She emphasized the name Marcus.
Kate reacted fast. She instantly smiled and called him Mr. Grist.
Zephyr had a grim expression as he nodded.
Cordelia smiled awkwardly.
Everything was great about her husband. Even his face when he met strangers was funny to her.
“Hubby…” She shook him lightly. “Can you bring some cookies over? I made cranberry cookies. Zennie
loves them.”
