Robert smiled dryly. “Well… Maybe Ms. Cordelia’s an exception.”Zephyr hit a fist on the car door.Finally, Robert drove them to Imperial Media with much caution.As soon as Zephyr entered the lobby, he realized that a certain someone was there with him. He froze before catching up and putting himself in front of that person.His gaze was cold and deep as he wore a small smirk.“Mr. Irwin?”Rowan was surprised as well, not expecting to run into Zephyr here.Charlie and Robert greeted each other and then turned their eyes to their bosses in unison.“What brings you here, Mr. Irwin?”Rowan did not answer and avoided his gaze.Zephyr snickered. “You must be here for my mother? It’s the same telling me if you have anything for her.”“I have something private to talk about to Madam Baker. Excuse me for not being able to disclose it to you, Mr. Zephyr.”Something private? Hah! About reuniting with his family?Zephyr’s gaze darkened, and the smirk he wore grew more mocking.It w
The two of them stopped at the same time. They stared blankly at where the voice came from.Cordelia stood aside and looked at them in shock, with her eyes widened.Although Rowan was being held, he was obviously winning. There seemed to be something in his hand…He instantly snapped back to his senses and hid the needle in his sleeve!“Cordelia?” Zephyr was stunned. Subsequently, he showcased his acting skills by covering where his aorta was on his neck. He frowned and looked like he was in pain.“What happened!?” Cordelia was shocked. She quickly went over to check on him.“I’m hurting a little bit…” He looked at her. “And I’m dizzy.”“Sir!?” Robert’s face turned pale. “Don’t scare me, sir. I was pulling you hard. Mr. Irwin didn’t touch you—”“Ahem!” Zephyr coughed hard and glared fiercely at Robert.Only then did the latter come to his senses and shut up immediately.Fortunately, his cough masked what Robert said in the end.Cordelia became nervous now. She looked left an
Zephyr and Cordelia came to the manor.The place where Henry and Kate lived was called Gale Bay. It had the best view in the entire manor.It was facing a river with mountains behind it. It was scenic. There was everything in the courtyard, just like what nobles had in their mansions in ancient times.Cordelia did not know where to look as she walked.It seemed like Liam was biased toward his first son. Although he had nothing and was useless, he still got the best in the entire family.“Grandpa loves my dad.” Zephyr held her hand and said calmly. “That’s why my second uncle doesn’t like me.”“Would people really have a bias against their own children?”Cordelia was curious.Zephyr’s father was a quiet, honest man. Even if Liam was biased, he should like Matthew, who was eloquent!“Grandpa says my dad is his first child.” He chuckled. “Perhaps parents always love their firstborn more. Apart from my second uncle, I have two aunts and another uncle. They are doing business overs
“Sister, can you teach me how to bake cakes next? I want to bake one for my mom!”Cordelia nodded while smiling. It seemed the little princess had recovered.Meanwhile, Zennie and Seth looked good when they stood next to each other. They were like the main characters coming out of a romance novel.Cordelia noticed that Zennie would blush when she talked to Seth.She signaled Zephyr, and Zephyr replied to her with his eyes.They moved separately. Cordelia wanted Zennie to pick her wedding dress on her iPad, so they went into her room.Zephyr used the excuse of needing Seth’s help to get him into the courtyard.“Thank you.”Seth was shy from that serious gratitude.“We’re bros. There’s no need to be so polite!”“I’m sincere in thanking you.” Zephyr patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Nobody was willing to help me when I was in trouble. It was you who stayed in my ward that saved my life…”“No, no! It was the medicine from that man that saved you. I was merely feedin
Seth noticed that something was up with Zephyr judging by his face. However, after thinking for a long time, he could not figure out what was wrong.“Do you really treat him as a sister only?” His face was grim.Seth inhaled sharply and paused for a couple of seconds.“What else?” He looked at Zephyr. “W-What else can she be to me?”“Haven’t you thought about anything else?”Anything else…Seth was at a loss.Zephyr was pissed when he saw his stupid face.One could not make a carving from rotten wood. No wonder he had failed to pursue Linda!Seth asked carefully, “Zen, w-what are you trying to say?”Zephyr glared at him. “Nothing! You just keep treating her like your sister, then!”He turned to leave after he was done speaking.Seth was stunned for a while, standing where he was. He smiled like an idiot and went after Zephyr.When they were in Jangasas, he was weird. He would often throw tantrums.Everyone would stay far away from him, but Seth did not mind it.Now that
When they got downstairs, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.“Go to the main house, Madam!”“What’s wrong?”“The old master fainted!”Zephyr’s eyes turned grim. He instantly went downstairs.Cordelia and Zennie went over too, while Kate and Henry followed behind them.Many people had arrived at Liam’s place. Everything about him was the most important to the Hamertons, let alone he had fainted now.Henry and Kate had arrived. Clark was guarding the door when Zephyr arrived, and he looked worried.“How’s grandpa?”“The doctor is in there!”There was a professional medical team in the manor tending to emergencies.However, the team had many people. Zephyr did not trust all of them, so he got the team to leave and got Seth there.He got a conclusion after the preliminary check. “The old master has an embolism.”“Does that mean his blood vessels are blocked?”“Yes.” Seth nodded. “Fortunately, it’s not serious, and we found out in time. Your medical team gave him an inje
Charlie smiled helplessly and was going to pick up a wine glass when Rowan caught his hand mercilessly.“No drinking!” Rowan glared at him. “You can’t drive after you drink!”Charlie was befuddled. “Mr. Irwin, didn’t you say that… we’ll walk back later?”“Who said that!?”Rowan glared at Charlie but was immensely gentle to the person on the line.“Cordelia, calm down… Oh, don’t fret!“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’m just around!“Not far at all! Hah, I’ll be there very soon. I promise I’ll heal Elder Mr. Hamerton!“Silly child, what are you saying? No need to be courteous with me!”Rowan put on his jacket and ran out as he spoke.Charlie chuckled wryly on the spot. He looked at the two glasses of wine that were not even touched reluctantly before he sighed and went after his boss.The pub was obviously a long way from Hamerton Manor!Rowan kept urging Charlie to step down on the pedal on the way.When they arrived at the manor, the living room was filled with people, but Row
Matthew was dumbfounded. His pride could not bear it being embarrassed like this in broad daylight.In spite of it, it was still fine that others ignored him—Yale was pretending not to see him too! He was going to call for Yale only to discover that his wonderful son had slipped away from the crowd in secret!“Yale! Yale Hamerton!” Matthew was furious. “You brat!”“Clark, help me back!”Clark glanced at him and said, “My apologies, Mr. Matthew. I have to hurry upstairs. Someone has to be by Elder Mr. Hamerton’s side!”“You…”Before Matthew could lash out, Zephyr instructed everyone with the sense of authority of the family head, “Grandpa’s no longer in a critical state. Stop crowding here! Off to whatever you should be doing!”All of them answered in unison, “Yes, Mr. Zephyr!”Zephyr smiled and left, holding Cordelia’s hand.“Hey, what do I do when all of you are leaving!?” Matthew flailed, frozen on the spot. “Zephyr! You b*stard… At least leave someone with me!“Come back!
