Zuko’s chubby hands were strong. After hitting the ‘tambourine’, he held his own cheeks and giggled.
“Zuko!” Zephyr pulled his chubby hand and pretended to hit it. “How dare you hit your father, you brat. Let me
punish you!”
“Mama!”
The boy who was wronged turned around to hold Cordelia’s neck.
However, she did not spoil him like she usually did. Instead, she softly placed him on the ground, allowing him to
cry, and insisted not to carry him. Later on, she squatted down with Zephyr.
She stopped smiling and said, looking at him seriously, “Which hand did you hit Daddy with? Show me!”
Zuko widened his eyes at first before frowning. He was about to cry again, but Cordelia stared fiercely at him.
“It’s wrong for you to hit someone! He’s your father. How dare you hit him?”
“Wah…”

Zuko realized what was happening now. He found out he had no backing this time. He understood he might have
made a mistake this time, so he extended his chubby, fair hands with his palms facing up.
Cordelia did not hold back and gently hit each palm. When Zuko was about to cry, she stopped him.
“You’re one and a half years old now, darling. There are things that Mommy has to teach you. Hitting someone’s
face is very rude. Don’t do that again, okay?
“You’re a gentleman.” She patted his head. “So, Mommy believes that you’ll definitely not do something so rude
again. Am I right?”
Although Zuko was teary, he understood what ‘gentleman’ meant. He held his tears back forcefully.
Zuko still could not really speak. He looked at Zephyr in terror and stuttered. “Dada… I… sorry.”
Zephyr’s heart melted. Not only was it because of his son’s apology, but also because Cordelia was on his side for
the first time.
He picked Zuko up and kissed his cheek to show that he accepted his apology. He then looked at Cordelia with
allure.
“Why are you staring at me?” she asked.
“I…” Zephyr was so emotional that he did not know what to say. “I just finally feel my existence with you now.”
Cordelia was stunned. How much did she neglect him in the past that he felt so wronged?
Also, she did not educate their son because of him, but for him to grow up in a healthy environment.
“Okay.” She caressed Zephyr’s cheek while smiling. “You’ll forever have a place in my heart!”
“Okay!” He nodded hard. “Wifey, if our son makes you angry again, I’ll definitely be on your side! We’ll fight that
little brat together!”
Zuko’s eyes, which were as big as grapes, instantly stared at his father.
‘What did this old geezer say?
‘Oh yeah, my grandpa said he’d teach me acupuncture, and he said I could practice on my dad… I’ll have to talk to

“Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton!” A maid walked over and smiled courteously. “Please go to the center of the garden. It’s
time for a group photo!”
Zephyr picked up their son in one hand while holding Cordelia on the other. The family of three walked to the
garden leisurely.
“Hubby, let’s stand in the corner,” she whispered. “Carry Zuko and make sure that he doesn’t throw a fuss.”
“You think I didn’t know that?” He smiled. “Aurelia and the royal family members are the stars today. If I can be
honest, I don’t think we should be in the group photo at all. But since they invited us, we’ll just go with it.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Just as they walked over, Cordelia suddenly felt someone sneaking out from the side.
As she saw that from the corner of her eye, it did not seem real.
She gasped and suddenly turned around!
“What’s wrong, Cordelia?” asked Zephyr.
Cordelia’s heart squeezed. When she looked carefully again, there seemed to be nothing else apart from the
bushes.
