Although they had not met much, Zuko was not shy and spread his chubby arms to go to his grandmother.
Janine, who was known to be tough as steel, melted over the little boy. She kissed his cheek and carefully carried
him to the car, placing him in the baby car seat.
After Zuko was settled in, Janine was going to get into the car from the other side when she felt someone yank her
from the back.
“What?” She looked at her son in confusion.
Zephyr was all smiles as he quietly told his mother his idea, “I’ll leave Zuko at home for the next two days and take
Cordelia around other places in Eropah!”
“Huh?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mom, help me out!” Zephyr shot her a look. “Hold this little drag back, and don’t let him get to Cordelia!”
One sentence was all it took to enrage Janine.
Janine then hit Zephyr on the head.
“You brat!” Janine glared at him. “Are you even literate? That’s your son! Do you know what a drag is, and you call
him that!?”
“I know…” Zephyr chuckled dryly. “I’m just analogizing!”
“Well, your analogy sucks!” Janine snickered. “And your plan sucks too!”
“Mom?”
“Never mind that Cordelia wouldn’t abandon your son and have fun herself. Your mother has been busy recently. I
can’t babysit for you!”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
“Isn’t it romantic for you two to have a honeymoon with your son? Back then I…”
Janine halted her speech. Back then, she had not had any honeymoon with her son. She had regretted it not long
after marrying Henry and had been in a hurry to divorce the man and flee after giving birth.
What she felt back then was really different from what she felt now.
“Hah, you’re busy?” Zephyr glanced at her. “Busy dating that you don’t even have time for your grandson!?”
“Zephyr Hamerton!”
“Who’s that guy? To infatuate you to this extent!”
Janine took a deep breath and put on a smile that was more like a wince as she patted her son’s shoulder.
“Be nice when you see your Uncle Bond later, you hear me?”

“Oh, right.” Janine turned back before she got into the car and smirked. “You’re a drag to your Uncle Bond. You
know what the word means now?”
“I…”
Janine looked at him again with slightly furrowed brows.
Why was Zephyr’s glare looking so much more like that pufferfish in Southeast Aciatic now? How could something
so strange as the son-in-law growing to resemble his father-in-law happen in this world!?
Janine shook her head and covered her face to stop seeing a thing. It was better for her to get into the car and look
at her adorable grandson.
Zephyr got inside as well, and Zuko actually behaved, calling “papa” continuously.
Zephyr felt his heart melt and carried his son over to blow him raspberries and make the boy giggle loudly.
Cordelia asked, “What were you and mom talking about outside the car just now? You took so long?”
Zephyr paused while Janine cackled. “Oh, haha… Nothing, I was just reasoning with Zephyr!”
Cordelia chuckled. Each time Janine “reasoned”, it was a war, and the one who lost would always be Zephyr.
