“And don’t think I don’t know how many grievances you’ve secretly made my daughter suffer all these years!”
Franklin wanted to spill everything, but Janine held him back—not for Hannah but not to embarrass her younger
brother in public.
All in all, Janine still cared about her brother.
“Dad, no need to go on.” She chuckled. “Today’s party is to welcome me home. You really shouldn’t get angry. Let’s
enjoy ourselves and relax!”
“Yeah, Grandpa,” Cordelia said with a smile. “I was wrong just now too. I shouldn’t throw a tantrum and say that I
want to go back to my parents. I’ve married Zephyr, I’ll be where my husband is!”
“Mm, our Cordelia’s the best!” Franklin grinned widely. “But… I heard that old Hamerton geezer say that Zephyr’s
married into the Irwins? He should be going back to your parents with you then!”
“Grandpa, uh…” Cordelia could barely hold back her laugh.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZephyr, who had been observing from the side, widened his eyes when he heard that.
“How’s that possible, grandpa!” Cordelia approached her husband and held his hand, saying softly, “It was just a
joke. I couldn’t bear to let my husband do that!”
It was as if her eyes were stars glittering when she looked at him.
“I’m his wife,” she said softly. “Forever and ever.”
Zephyr felt like his heart melted. As he held Cordelia’s hand, she was the only one in his eyes.
Franklin giggled like a child and shot everyone else a look that stopped them from third-wheeling here.
Janine waited until Cordelia and Zephyr were done staring into each other’s eyes before she pulled him aside and
nagged. “Be more focused when you take care of Cordelia at home, got it? And where were you when Hannah was
blabbering bullsh*t!? Where’s your voice when it’s needed!?”
Zephyr was rendered speechless. Did he even need to say a word when his mother and wife worked together so
well and aggressively?
No one would listen to him even if he did say something!

“Mom, what’s the matter?” Cordelia came over, worried.
Zephyr hurried to hide behind her.
Janine put on a different expression and beamed at Cordelia. “Nothing, nothing. Just teaching Zephyr some values!
Hahaha…”
The party went on with everyone enjoying it except for Noah and his family, who slipped through the backdoor.
Hannah scowled with shaking knees, barely able to walk properly. There were several times when Noah wanted to
help her, but she pushed him away coldly.
Ava went up and shoved him away, nearly making him stagger and fall.
“Hah, you didn’t do anything earlier, and now you remember to help my mom?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You…” Noah froze. “Ava, how can you talk to daddy like this!?”
“Daddy!?” Ava flashed out. “Whose daddy is like you? You can’t protect your wife, and child and your brain’s not
even working properly. I don’t want a daddy like you!”
“Ava Baker!” shouted Noah.
There was heartache in his voice as his gaze was tinged with disbelief.
This was the daughter he doted on since she was a child? He treated them genuinely and what did they take him
as?
Noah’s thoughts were everywhere. He was a little silly. These questions were tangled up into a knot in his head, and
he could not unravel them no matter what.
Hannah saw him panting and sweating and knew that Ava had really angered him.
“Ava, what are you saying!?” She shot her daughter a look.
They could not offend Noah. The fool—a rich fool—was the only one she could manipulate in the Bakers.
“You can’t talk to dad like this. Apologize!”
Ava refused with puffed cheeks and ran off.
