“You…” Cordelia huffed.
“Anyway, someone said that she’s going to take care of me forever!” Zephyr said, entitled.
Cordelia gave him a punch. Why was he so shameless!? Then again, he would not be Zephyr if he had any shame.
The man laughed and tickled her softly, causing her to bend over. Both of them messed around on the swing, their
giggles resounding on the front porch. Ginger even stopped eating to look at them enviously.
Cordelia was fair. Her face was pretty pink as she laughed.
She was pinned under Zephyr. Her clear, wet eyes were expressive and only heated Zephyr up.
His hand scooped her slim waist in one go, and she felt the strong manliness that rushed toward her.
“Don’t…” Cordelia’s hand was against his chest. “We’re still outside!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZephyr smirked. “I know… I didn’t say I was going to do anything!”
Cordelia blushed harder.
He ran his hand through her hair and spoke huskily next to her ear. “I’m just kissing you… Anything else, I’ll do it at
night!”
His lips came closer to her, and she closed her eyes, wearing a sweet smile.
Just when Zephyr was going to meet her lips, though, he stopped abruptly and looked around in alert…
‘Hmm, no Robert in sight!’
He smiled in relief and moved closer…
The door was knocked!
“Sir? Mr. Zephyr!”
Zephyr was so close to kissing Cordelia. It felt like iced water doused him from head to toe, and he scowled harder
than the scowl in Cordelia’s impression!
Robert patted the door outside in determination. The loud clanking spoiled Ginger’s mood. It glanced at the door
and then at Zephyr before going to its bed to take a nap.
Cordelia pushed Zephyr away with a flushed face and giggled.
Zephyr froze for a few seconds before he sprang up and briskly went to the door, pulling it open with unnecessary
force.
“What?” It was a thunderous roar.
Robert was dumbfounded. His experience told him that… he was in trouble again!
“Robert!” Zephyr gave him a death glare. “Are you too free, or do you think I pay you too much?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRobert was in despair. His lips twitched. “Sir, I—”
“I can adjust your payment anytime if you think it’s too much! Half a year’s bonus deducted first!”
“No, no, no!” Robert quickly pulled out his phone and rambled, “Uh— I… I have something important for you! I-It’s
about Nicholas, well, Nicholas…”
The more anxious he was, the harder it was to make himself clear. His tongue felt like a knot, and he sweated
profusely.
It was fortunate that Cordelia came over slowly and put an arm on Zephyr’s. It was like a tranquilizer shot, and the
man calmed down eventually.
“Robert, go on.” Cordelia asked softly, “What’s the matter with Nicholas?”
“Nicholas’ live streaming a press release!” Robert showed his phone to both of them.
From the live stream, Nicholas was openly facing the reporters, but his cold looks could not hide the haggardness in
his eyes.
“Mr. Thompson, why are you only making an explanation now?”
“Did you actually spend the night with Ms. Adams?”
