Cordelia thought that Zephyr should not be busy since it was near lunchtime, but she had no idea that a terrifying
storm had just ended in the meeting room on the other end.
In spite of it, Zephyr’s heart melted listening to the soft and sweet voice. No matter how big a temper he had, it
was gone like the wind. He smiled, looking affectionate and indulging.
Cordelia waited for a bit upon hearing there was no sound on the other end and asked nicely, “Are you… busy? Did I
interrupt anything?”
“No,” he replied in a low tone.
“Then what are you doing?”
“Do you want to hear the truth?” The man chuckled.
“Of course!”
“Missing you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two words colored Cordelia’s cheeks pink as she clutched her phone.
“What about you?” Zephyr asked as well, “What are you doing?”
“I’m missing you too,” Cordelia said softly.
Zephyr grinned. The ominous cloud that had been fogging him was all gone.
The others in the meeting room looked at Robert with an expression like they had seen a ghost in broad daylight
simultaneously. The latter could only keep giving them looks with a helpless expression.
“Have you had lunch?” Cordelia asked softly. “Come home if you haven’t. I bought a lobster. I’ll make you baked
lobster risotto.”
Zephyr’s consciousness was already nodding in agreement and abandoning the meeting room full of people to
dash home and wait for the meal.
The reality, however…
He was laden with tasks and work in the Hamerton Group and could not even have a moment of peace.
He looked at Robert, who was anxiously flailing at him to gesture that he had a negotiation, a meeting, a visitor, and
a few stacks of documents waiting for him in the afternoon.
Despite that, Zephyr asked on the phone, “Where are you now?”
“The grocery store near my house.” Cordelia chortled.
“Wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”
When he hung up, Robert’s eyes almost fell off from how much they were bulging. “Sir, you…”
“What?” Zephyr gave him an icy look. “Do I not have the right to eat lunch now?”
“No…” Robert winced. “Actually, the meal is ready for you at Splendor Dynasty. You can have a break after lunch…
“Hey, Mr. Zephyr!”
Before Robert finished, Zephyr was long gone. Nothing was more important than Cordelia missing him.
Zephyr soon arrived at the grocery store. He went up and hugged Cordelia tightly as soon as he saw her. He could
forget about eating, but he could not not see her. The faint fragrance on her was the best medicine that could cure

“What’s gotten into you?” Cordelia giggled, patting his back. “You’re still so strong even when you’re hungry!”
“I’m always stronger when I’m ‘hungry’.” The man’s voice was smiling as he spoke next to her ear. “When weren’t I
in the past?”
Cordelia was suddenly struck by realization regarding what he was saying and blushed, raising her fist to punch
him.
Zephyr grinned as he allowed her to do that. He even tugged her hand toward his chest. “Here, punch here,
harder!”
Cordelia was unable to get the upper hand. Instead, a light pull from him caused her to fall right into his arms.
“Alright, I’ll stop messing with you.” Zephyr kept smiling and looked at her seriously. “I’m leaving after meeting you.
I won’t be eating with you.”
“Huh?” Cordelia was stunned. “Why?”
“I still have a lot to do in the office.”
