Zephyr could only come back and sit on the couch while pouting.
Rowan looked at him with a cryptic look in his eyes.
“About you marrying Cordelia…”
“How many times are you going to ask that?” Zephyr enunciated each word coldly. “It’s true. My grandfather has
agreed to it!”
“Hmm, I know.” Rowan smiled. He was not sure whether to be happy or sad. He was lucky to be able to see his
daughter getting married, but he did not have the right to hold her hand through the red carpet and give her away
to the groom.
Zephyr paused and said softly, “My grandfather indeed minded Cordelia’s background at first, and he hoped you’d
take her as your goddaughter… But I told him about your relationship with her yesterday.”
Rowan’s eyes widened. He could not say anything while staring at him.
“He’s very happy since finding out that she’s your daughter. Sir, aren’t you going to seize the opportunity to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtacknowledge her as your daughter?”
“I…”
Rowan was choking. He had yet to gain forgiveness from Xyla.
Zephyr took a deep breath, “Sir, you made some mistakes in the past, but as long as you face them and remedy
them with all of your heart, I believe everything will get better.”
Rowan looked terrible. He only spoke a moment later. “Cordelia won’t forgive me.”
“Even if she won’t, your conscience will be clear, at least.”
“I don’t want my daughter hating me!” Rowan’s eyes were red. “I’d rather have what I have now, caring and loving
for her as an uncle!”
“But the more you drag it, the more troublesome it will be!” Zephyr looked into his eyes. “I know that very well!”
He had had a terrible experience with his identity.
He had kept dragging it out on telling Cordelia his real identity. However, the more he had been afraid of losing her,
the more he had not wanted to tell and the more hurt she had felt.
Fortunately, he had moved past that now.
However, Cordelia had accepted his identity because of her love for him.
What about Rowan? He had not grown up with her. He was not a father to her, letting her suffer for over 20 years
for nothing. How could she forgive him easily?
Zephyr sighed. He walked over to pat his father-in-law’s shoulder when he saw how sad he was. “I’ll help you.”
Rowan sniffed and tried his best to suppress the sadness that was rushing inside him.
He only said a moment later, “Now that you’re my son-in-inlaw, there are some things that I’d like to say to you
alone as well.”
“Okay.”
Rowan raised his eyes to look at him and enunciated each word in all seriousness. “Zephyr, please… take care of
my daughter.”
Zephyr was moved and nodded.
Rowan forced a smile. He turned his head and took a small medicine bottle out of his bag.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe bottle was exquisite. There was the special Irwin Pharmaceuticals’ brand imprinted on it.
Zephyr was stunned.
Rowan then said, “Use the usual dosage. You remember how to use it, right?”
“Yes, I do.” Zephyr took it over and held it in his hand.
“You’re lucky that you survived the plane accident.” Rowan chuckled. “It’ll take time for you to heal. However, it’ll
be easier now that you’ll marry Cordelia. I’ll check on you regularly.”
“Thanks…” Zephyr wanted to call him dad but decided to swallow it as the word dangled around his lips.
However, Rowan did not mind it. He was still rummaging through his bag. He took out another bottle.
This one was clearly smaller than the other one and of different color too. It was dark red, and it seemed to have a
different pattern on it. It was mysterious.
“What’s this?”
“This is… for you too.” Rowan shoved it into his hand.
Zephyr did not understand what it was.
Rowan faked a cough as he was hesitating. “You don’t have to consume this often, just once per week. There are…
pills inside. Just consume one, not one more! Understand?”
