If she were sentimental back then, she and Henry would not have taken a divorce.
Zephyr took a deep breath in. Cordelia and Zennie’s peals of laughter came from outside.
They sat in the sunlit courtyard with blooming irises around them. The fragrance of cranberry cookies
and macchiato filled the air.
At that moment, he wanted to stop time forever.
“Don’t worry.” Kate smiled. “Since your sister likes Cordelia so much, as her mother, I’ll do my best!
“In reality, everyone in the Hamertons is reasonable. It’s just that jerk Matthew at that brat, Yale…”
Kate began to vent.
Zephyr smiled helplessly. She would pretty much take revenge on his behalf whenever Matthew talked
behind his back throughout these years.
…
Since finding out about her identity, although Cordelia would smile on the surface, Zephyr could tell that

It was fine when she was busy with customers.
When the shop was empty, she would sit alone on the stairs in the courtyard and stare blankly into the
sky. She would look blue.
He wanted to cheer her up, so he lowered his head to seek a solution from Linda.
Linda was planning to travel with Nicholas. They were going to Mengasas.
“Why don’t you guys join us?” Linda said happily, “We said we’d go to Mengasas after we made money
when we were studying at university. She’ll be over the moon if we go together!”
Nicholas’ expression changed. He immediately shook her.
Linda glared at him. “What? You don’t want that?”
The man smiled—he looked like a coward. “I do… The more, the merrier! It’s just that I’m not sure
whether Mr. Grist is willing to come with us. Hah, Linda, maybe they have their own plans. Maybe they
want to be alone…
“Am I right, Marcus?”
Nicholas covered half of his face while speaking. He kept winking at Zephyr.
Never had he thought that Mr. Z would smirk and enunciate each word calmly. “I think that’s a great
idea. The more, the merrier!”
Nicholas was dumbfounded!
“It’s decided, then!” Linda smiled happily. “Go home to pack with Cordelia now. I’ll plan the itinerary
tonight!”
Two days later, they arrived in Mengasas as planned.
Cordelia and Linda were skipping happily, holding each others’ arms in front. Meanwhile, among the
two men behind, one was gnashing his teeth, and the other looked proud.
“Wow, Zephyr. You’re pulling my leg, huh?”
“What?” Zephyr looked uninterested.

“You know what you did!”
He was supposed to spend time alone with Linda!
Zephyr slipped both of his hands into his pockets and walked carefreely. There was a subtle smile at
the corner of his eyes.
“Nicholas, can you be a man? Look how happy they are!”
Mengasas was a popular shopping heaven. All of the big, international brands were tax-free here.
Dragging Cordelia, Linda went from one branded store and shopping malls to another. She fulfilled her
shopping desire.
Throughout the day, her loot were hung on Nicholas’ arms. His knees were getting weak.
Zephyr did not have it better. It was just that Cordelia hardly bought anything.
They went to a cosmetic store this time. The two ladies went to try on lipsticks. The two men spotted a
bench outside. Their eyes lit up, and they rushed over in a flash!
Zephyr beat him to it and got more space.
Nicholas rolled his eyes at him. He placed the bags on the ground and released a heavy sigh.
“How are they not tired?”
