The moment Zephyr entered, he saw Rowan leaving. He froze.
Zephyr had always mocked the old geezer and thought him to be annoying, but now that he saw his dejected
expression and reddened eyes, he could not even force a smile… he felt like he was suddenly fed a pill—his throat
felt dry and bitter.
“You’re here…” Rowan’s voice was hoarse.
“Mm.”
That was all Rowan said. He gave Zephyr another glance and went off with a stagger.
Zephyr walked in and saw Cordelia on the couch in a trance. It was like life had been sucked out of her, and she was
in a bad mood too.
She could no longer hold back her tears when she saw him. Zephyr hugged her, his heart aching as she cried.
“Darling, let’s finish work early today, okay?” he asked softly, running a hand down her back.

company affairs.
“I want to take you somewhere.”
“Hmm?” Cordelia looked up at him. “Where?”
Zephyr smiled and gently put her coat over her before leaving Imperial Media hand in hand with her.
Cordelia discovered in surprise that the car parked by the road was the one she had bought him.
“Why did you think of driving this one?” She smiled and went around the car. “It looks newer than before.”
Zephyr watched her quietly with a press of his lips.
Of course, the car looked newer and nicer than before. Since the purchase, he had treated the car like a gem. He
was usually reluctant to drive it and parked it at the best spot in the garage. Even its maintenance was the highest
grade and quality.
If Zephyr’s garage were a harem, those luxury cars would absolutely be working together to crush this small little
one into scrap metal.
Zephyr opened the door for Cordelia and fastened the seatbelt for her.
Not too long after departing, Cordelia found that the route felt off. They seemed to be leaving the city, Hamerton
Manor. She was puzzled and turned to face the man only to be greeted by his smile.
“We’re going to Jangasas,” he said, holding her hand.
“Jangasas?” Cordelia was astonished. “Why…”
“I thought of taking you out to clear your head but didn’t know where to go on such short notice. Jangasas isn’t far
from Centrolis, and it’s convenient to drive there and back.”
He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. “Darling, you’ll surely like that place.”
Cordelia nodded, following whatever he had arranged.
Zephyr drove smoothly, and Cordelia took a nap in the car. It was already evening when she woke up.
The last of pink and orange faded from the sky, and nightfall took over with bright neon lights. Jangasas’ night
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmscene was not as lively as Centrolis, but it had its own charm.
They did not come to the city center but to the suburbs of Jangasas.
Cordelia got out of the car to look around. It was peaceful and pleasant with the mountains and water. They took a
short walk, and it was somewhere she was even more familiar with—Zephyr had given her a special wedding in this
quaint church.
“Why did you bring us here?” Cordelia smiled.
The environment relaxed her significantly, and both of them went in holding hands. The one they greeted was the
same pastor from the last time.
The old man smiled kindly and left, giving them the space to be alone.
Cordelia sat down at the pipe organ and played a few notes. The tone color of the pipe organ was deeper and fuller
than the piano, so it sounded grander.
It was just that Cordelia did not quite know how to play.
Yelena had learned to play the piano since she was young—William had spent a lot on her. Yelena was also
outstanding when she was younger. Each time there was an activity, she could play the piano because she knew
how to and became the center of attention.
Cordelia could only get to stand in the corner.
