Cordelia paused before a fit of giggle burst out.
“Sorry, darling.” She felt kind of bad as she turned to look at him. “I’ll go explain to them that I’m the one who
suddenly felt like having in-flight meals, not you…”
“No need.” Zephyr held her hand. “Just turning silly in my prime, I can take it!”
“I…” Cordelia did not know what was going on with her either. Her palate had turned weirder these days. She kept
craving odd food.
She had wanted airline meals for a long time and thought it would pass if she suppressed it, but the thought only
grew stronger. It was not like she found the food delicious in the past.
“Pregnant women crave lots of different things. Can’t be helped.” Zephyr’s gaze was tender as he kissed the back
of her hand. “What I can do is satisfy your cravings as much as possible!”
“Why are you so nice to me…”

“Zephyr…” Cordelia felt like crying.
There was always a man who loved her and indulged her unconditionally in this world, who tolerated everything and
satisfied all her unreasonable requests. No one in this world would love her like Zephyr again.
Cordelia snuggled in his embrace and rubbed her face against him like a kitten.
“I’m actually quite like Uncle Noah.” Zephyr chuckled and spoke next to her ear. “No matter how he acts, he loves
his wife.”
He looked at her and said, “Me too!”

It was afternoon when Aurelia went back to the street.
The sun was slowly setting, and the criminals on the street were simply waiting to strike. There were always pairs of
eyes in the hidden corners targeting passersby, tracking foreign tourists who were unfamiliar with the area and fat
little lambs with their money showing.
Aurelia covered her face with a scarf and hurried forward.
The thugs could recognize her and whistled at her with indecent words.
Aurelia was fearless, pulling her scarf and scolding them. She was not good at arguing in Acian but scolding
someone in Chaisene was her strength.
The thugs walked off when they did not get anything off her, and she mumbled another curse at their back before
stomping off.
The bodyguards who followed her looked at each other, sighing that they could barely reach her level. Did the girl
really need their protection when she was so aggressive? Who was Mr. Zephyr looking down on now!?
The bodyguards stopped. There were gangs on the street, and it was simply not the bodyguards’ place. If they
entered recklessly, it might attract attention, or there could be bloodshed.
However, it was a task from Zephyr. They could only stay at the junction and wait for Aurelia to finish packing

On the other end, Aurelia went back to the basement. Everything remained the same. It was still damp and cold,
with a moldy smell in the air. The space was cramped, dark, and messy.
She suddenly missed Cordelia’s villa, Neil’s exclusive suite, the soft and big bed she had slept in, as well as the nice
smelling blanket.
Even a pair of slippers and a bottle of shampoo from the rich exuded a luxurious air.
Aurelia shook her head and smiled helplessly.
“A few good days, and you’ve forgotten about your status?” she talked to herself and gave herself two slaps. “Wake
up. You need to wake up! That kind of life doesn’t belong to you!”
It was best for her to hurry up and pack her things.
Aurelia took a deep breath and found her metal box. Not a single cent was missing inside. She was going to keep it
in her pocket when a sudden voice shocked her.
“What’s this? Wanting to run away after you make enough money!?”
Aurelia’s head snapped up. She did not close the door properly when she came in just now—to be precise, it was
the same whether there was a door in a basement like this.
James was just standing there. The pendant light on the hallway swayed, the illumination on his face flickering.
