Zephyr had already scolded Rowan over a thousand times in his mind. Despite what was brewing in him, he dared
not express his rage verbally and could only ask Cordelia softly, “Really?”
Cordelia nodded. “My mom’s lived in Southeast Aciatic all her life. There’s no fault in it that she wants to return to
her hometown and settle there, right?”
“Well… yes.” Zephyr could only go along with what she said.
“Southeast Aciatic’s traditional and reserved. Carter and I are both Irwins, so we have to reunite and restore our
identities, right?”
Zephyr licked his lips and continued to nod. “Mm… that’s true.”
Cordelia could not help giggling and patted his suit. “So, I’ll go back with my parents. You be good here—”
“What!?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore she finished, Zephyr’s raised voice interrupted her.
Cordelia looked innocent. “You don’t want to let me leave?”
“Of course!”
“Then… come along with me?”
Zephyr froze and met Cordelia’s playful eyes.
She said with a chuckle, “Darling, didn’t you say that it’s you marrying into my family and not the other way
around?”
Zephyr was baffled. He did not expect that he had dug himself such a huge trap in the past!
“Son, you said something like that before?” Janine popped a head over to ask when she heard them.
Zephyr coughed. It was to stop his mother from broadcasting it, but the woman’s loud voice was like a speaker as
she laughed.
“Cordelia, he really told you that before? Hahaha… this is wonderful! I made a promise with your mom last time. My
son is her son too! It’s coming true!”
She patted Zephyr with a bright grin.
Zephyr looked at his mother in disbelief as if he was looking at an alien.
Janine’s loud voice meant that the people around them now knew that Zephyr had once said something like this just
to keep his wife happy, and they all threw Cordelia envious and happy gazes.
Liam heard the commotion and walked over slowly.
Janine said with a smile, “Son, I’ve got no objection! Men and women are equals now. Doesn’t matter who’s
marrying in whose family, right?”
Zephyr took a deep breath and hugged Cordelia tightly with a wince.
Henry asked weakly, “How… How could this be? Whose last name is their child taking then…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJanine’s face fell swiftly. After all these years, she thought that they could be courteous and be friends when they
could not remain husband and wife since they had a son together. Why was she never on the same page with this
man, though?
Why did it matter whose last name their child was taking? As long as it was Zephyr and Cordelia’s child! They could
make more otherwise. Then they would have both Hamertons and Irwins!
She then turned to Henry with the same death glare that Zephyr looked at Robert with and retorted, “My last name,
alright?”
Henry’s heart lurched, and he stepped several steps back. “Y-You—”
“Goodness, stop talking!” Kate thrust a plate of food to Henry and glanced at him with disdain. “I agree, Janine!
What difference does it make to whoever’s marrying into whose family? Off with the old-school rules!”
“Y-You both—”
“Alright!” Kate gave him a push. “Hurry up, be good. Go eat over there!”
With his ex and current wife’s pressure, Henry could only head to the couch holding a full plate of food.
Zephyr watched his father with an amused and sympathetic gaze.
