“Hubby!” Cordelia was still hungry after she drank the soup and looked at Zephyr shyly. “I’d like more food.”
He instantly served her the food Janine sent.
“Hubby, am I a glutton…”
“No!” Zephyr smiled. “I’m just happy you’re not craving in-flight meals now!”
She smiled too. However, Janine followed the confinement’s food standard when she prepared the food. It was
bland without any seasoning.
Although Janine was hungry, she had no appetite when she looked at the food.
“What’s wrong, wifey?”
“I…” She hesitated.
Cordelia was not the kind of person who would trouble others.
She was taken care of now, and it was the kindness that her mother-in-law gave. She was too shy to ask for things.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZephyr was observant and realized the issue instantly.
He tasted the food—all of the dishes were tasteless. He then lifted his eyes to look at her and chuckled. “You don’t
like them?”
She forced a smile and picked up the spoon to eat.
However, Zephyr stopped her.
Then, he mysteriously took a tiny bottle out of his pocket.
Her eyes lit up. “You carry salt with you!?”
“This food is tasteless. How does one eat it?”
He was sprinkling salt onto the food.
Cordelia immediately grabbed his hand. “Mom said no!”
“Who else said no?”
“My… parents said no too.” She lowered her voice.
Rowan and Xyla had told her that her food had to be bland. If she consumed too much salt, her milk would be
below par and would harm Zuko.
“They said no.” Cordelia looked at him in all seriousness.
There was gentleness flashing through his deep eyes. “But I’m saying yes!”
“Zen…”
“I asked the doctor. It’s okay to use a little bit of salt.” Zephyr smiled in an alluring manner. He pinched some salt
and sprinkled it on the dishes.
The amount was insignificant, but it gave Cordelia joy, who had been eating tasteless food.
“It won’t affect your milk if the quantity is low.” Zephyr played with her hair while feeding her one spoonful after
another.
“Cordelia, it’s my mom’s first time being a grandmother. She might be overdoing many things. Just like this, she put
zero salt in the food after hearing that women who have just given birth can’t eat salt… Don’t be mad at her.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCordelia felt warmth in her, and her eyes turned red.
Janine was used to pampering. Even Zephyr had never tasted her food. However, she now cooked for her daughter-
in-law, treating her like her own daughter.
Why would she be mad at her?
Meanwhile, Zephyr had been watching her emotions, caring for her mood swings before and after childbirth. That
made her want to cry out of nowhere.
Some people said that marriage was a woman’s second reincarnation.
Cordelia thought her reincarnation felt like she had saved the entire humanity in her past life.
“What’s wrong, Cordelia?” Zephyr wiped her tears nervously. “They say you can’t cry during the confinement, or
you’ll be sick!”
“I’m not crying…” She smiled with tears in her eyes. She then leaned into his embrace coquettishly. “I just
thought… This life is too short.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“I don’t only want to be your wife in this life.” She lifted her eyes to look at him. “I want to be your wife in my next
life, my next next life, forever and ever!”
