Robert was stunned. He had to discuss the group’s reform plan with the board of directors. How could
he return to Jangasas at this critical time!?
“Sir, are you worried about Ms. Jenner?” Robert asked softly. “Don’t worry, my men have been
watching. She’s safe.”
Zephyr could not help but growl, “Then why isn’t she picking up!?” He was anxious.
Robert did not know what to say to that.
In reality, there were many reasons why someone would not pick up their phone–her phone might be
out of battery, she did not hear it, or there was no signal…
Furthermore, he was calling in the middle of the night and insisted that she would pick him up
immediately. Did Ms. Jenner not need sleep? That was just…
Zephyr was unconvinced. He grabbed his car key and ran out.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He was stunned when he saw the screen, and his hand was shaking when
he picked it up.
“Wifey…”
“I’m sorry, hubby!” Cordelia, who was on the other side of the phone, sounded like she had just woken
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtup. “I had dinner with Zennie last night, and we drank some beer.
“You know how I am with alcohol. I got drunk after drinking just a little bit, so we passed out as soon as
we got home. I didn’t hear my phone!
“Hah, she’s still sleeping!”
Zephyr stood leaning on the wall. The tension he was feeling was gone.
He gulped and only spoke a long time later. “Oh…”
Cordelia panicked to hear that. She asked in fear, “Are you mad, hubby?”
The man remained silent, but his eyes were red. He felt a lump in his throat. He took a deep breath and
suddenly smiled. It felt like he was being released from a disaster and was smiling happily.
Robert who was standing aside came to a realization. He finally understood why Josiah always said
that he looked crazy.
He did not only look crazy—he was crazy!
“Hubby? Hubby!” Cordelia started to panic. Was he really mad?
“I’m sorry, hubby.” The lady admitted her mistake coquettishly. “I won’t drink again without you with me.
And… even when I’m sleeping, I’ll put my phone next to me. I promise to pick up my phone instantly!”
“Okay.”
She pouted and continued to fawn. “Also, I’ll reply to your messages immediately. I won’t let you wait!”
“Good.”
“Oh, oh!” She thought of something else. “I shouldn’t make you worry about where I am, hehe… I
should call you to let you know that I’m okay every now and then!”
Zephyr chuckled.
Cordelia felt defeated. She said so much, yet he merely gave short responses, seemingly refusing to
accept her apology.
When had he ever been so cold to her!?
She pouted and used her trump card. She said coquettishly, “Hubby…”
Robert heard that and almost lost his balance and fell.
Zephyr glared at him. He covered the receiver, returned to his room, and slammed the door!
“Hubby, forgive me okay?
“You’re not talking again! What do you want from me?
“Hubby, are you in Centrolis? Hmph, if you keep being mad at me, I’ll come there and cling to your 24

Zephyr finally laughed. His deep and electric voice was sent to Cordelia’s heart through the phone.
“Be a good girl,” he said. “I’ll be home soon!”
“Hmm, okay!”
Robert stood outside the door for a while. He was relieved to hear the laughter in the room.
It was fortunate that it was not Cordelia who had gotten into trouble last night. Otherwise, Yale’s grave
would definitely be on Splendor Mountain tomorrow!
When the door was opened, Zephyr walked out with a smile on his face. He was clearly in a good
mood.
“Get the driver. We’ll go out later.”
Robert was stunned. “What?”
“Cordelia asked me to get some local specialties from Centrolis for her.”
What? He was going to buy them himself?
Robert tried his best to talk to him in a calm tone. “Sir, we have a meeting with the board of directors
later…”
“What meeting?” Zephyr raised his sharp eyebrows. “Do you think I care!?”
Robert was rendered speechless.
“Why are you standing here? Go get the driver ready!”
