Thinking about it, Cordelia might have liked him already when she first met him on that stormy day. She would
forever remember the cold and handsome man that night, the man who went out on his own when she took a
shower, and the man who did not force her before she was ready.
There was also the man who was strong and muscular with washboard abs and the man who gave her an
unforgettable first time…
Cordelia flushed and beamed up at Zephyr. She ran her hand over his sculpted face and over his beautiful bone
structure and lips.
She was suddenly thankful to William. If he had not set her up and made her get married in place of Yelena, the
latter would be the one with Zephyr now.
Zephyr felt the ardor in her eyes as well as the unspeakable change somewhere on him… He hugged her tighter.
“What are you doing?” Cordelia put up her guard, but it was too late. She was completely locked in his arms.
“Stop it!” She pushed him with a laugh but was unable to move him. She then smacked him. “What are your arms

“Of course not.” Zephyr cackled and grabbed her hand to move south. “There’s one place that is…”
Cordelia touched it unintentionally and gasped with pink cheeks.
“Are you still shy after so long?” The man’s breathing was labored.
She looked down, shy and docile, and he could not bear to move his eyes off her.
“Do you agree?” he asked.
“What?”
“To be my queen.”
Before Cordelia could speak, her lips were sealed by his kiss.
The early winter night was chilly, but the room was burning with passion throughout the night.

Rowan became a regular visitor in Hamerton Manor recently.
After he gave Liam acupuncture, he kept his needles and wiped his hands.
“Don’t worry, Elder Mr. Hamerton. You’re recovering well,” he said with a smile. “But with age, our metabolism
slows, and supplements have to be taken slowly. You can’t use the tonic like in the past anymore.”
“Mm.” Liam straightened up and glanced at him.
That glance was not old or senile. It was with an innate sense of presence. Simply put, it was like his glance could
intimidate anyone anywhere.
Even when Liam was old, he was lively. Despite the embolism from being poisoned, he recovered fast, given his
good health.
Rowan had treated countless patients in the years of being a doctor, but people like Liam were still rare and few.
He thought of Zephyr.
Back when they drifted to a deserted island after the storm, regular people might have broken down in despair that
surviving on the island would be an issue. However, Zephyr had been composed and collected. He had helped them
pass through the hard times with his unusually calm head.
The young man was well built as well, not even sneezing when he took cold showers every day. He could even go up

Judging from these, the Hamertons seemed to have good genes.
Rowan wore a satisfied smile. The Hamertons’ superior genes, in addition to the Irwins’ noble blood… He could
already imagine what his little grandson would look like!
“Mr. Irwin? Mr. Irwin!” Liam found his smile unsettling. “Rowan Irwin!”
“Huh?”
Liam’s sonorous shout pulled Rowan out of his fantasy.
“Y-Yes?”
Liam frowned. “Why are you grinning like that?”
Rowan paused, not knowing how to explain it. “I…”
“And it’s not a good look on you,” Liam said seriously. “You look like a hamster with both your teeth showing!
Doesn’t look good!”
Rowan was appalled.
What did that mean? He got a sharp tongue now that he was healed?
Hah, it seemed that this was inherited as well! That brat Zephyr was always mocking him too! He had no idea about
respecting his father-in-law!
