Since the guest was already there, it did not make sense for Cordelia and Zephyr to chase him away.Cordelia held Zephyr's arm as they followed behind Alexander. The Irwins often hosted royals at Irwin Manor, but they rarely hosted anyone at this hour.Fortunately, Alexander was nice. They only got a butler to stay, as they did not need any fanfare.After the butler served snacks, Zephyr got him to leave.They were the only three people left in the living room.Cordelia was eager to laugh when she saw his angry face. She secretly held his hand, showing him a warm and determined face.Zephyr's face instantly perked up, and he started smiling gently now. They looked at each other, seemingly forgetting that there was someone with them. They seemed to only have each other in their eyes."Ahem!"Alexander faked a cough to pull them back to reality.Cordelia let go of Zephyr's hand immediately, but the latter stopped that from happening. The second she let go, he held her hand tight
In the next second, Zephyr saw Alexander's warm eyes."Mr. Z, we've been chatting for so long, yet you don't recognize me?""What are you talking about?" Zephyr frowned.Alexander smiled and turned around to leave. Zephyr was confused. He searched through every corner of his memory but could not find anything about this person.Perhaps he was just trying to be mysterious.If he had fallen for Cordelia, he would do all he could to mess with him to sneak in.Zephyr calmed down and sent Alexander out himself.When he returned to the living room, Cordelia was already there."How's our son?" he asked."I've just fed him, and he's sleeping now.""Oh," he said flatly and quickly got upstairs.Cordelia followed behind, watching him as he stopped at the nursery and headed to their room.Subsequently, she saw his eyes of disbelief when she looked up."Y-You put him on our bed?""Shh! Lower your voice!" She quickly shoved him into the guest room. "Don't wake our son!"Zephyr star
Cordelia knew that she could not run away again this time.Zephyr buried his face in her neck and took a deep breath in as he spoke. "Darling, let's sleep here tonight…""But our son is in the room on his own…""So what? Men have to learn independence from a young age!""He'll be scared if he wakes up!""So, you're saying you're sleeping with him again?"His voice raised together with his eyebrows.Ever since Zuko had turned one month old, Zephyr had decorated the nursery himself. He had said boys should learn to be independent since they were young as he excitedly put him in the room.However, Cordelia would bring him to their big bedroom. For the convenience of feeding, she would let their son sleep next to her.At first, Zephyr would still have space in the bed.Cordelia had read some articles on the Internet and was worried that Zephyr would turn and kill their son when he was sleeping, so…As long as their son was in the room, her husband would become so insignificant t
"What are you thinking about?" Cordelia looked at Zephyr with her big eyes. "You're smiling so happily!""I'm thinking about what would happen to us if we stayed in Jangasas instead of moving."Cordelia was stunned. "I think we wouldn't be happy.""Why not?""I know you miss the simple life we had in Jangasas." She looked at him in all seriousness. "But it's impossible for us to stay simple. We must face the toughness of life and the dramas among people."Since we have to face that, I'd rather do it in Centrolis or here. At least we have our family's support!"Zephyr smiled lightly. She was getting more and more mature."I kind of like the simple life before," he said. "But I like the complicated life we have now too."No matter what, I love it when I have you in my life."Cordelia's eyes lit up, and she smiled.Zephyr held her hands as he enunciated each word. "So, wifey, don't meet Alexander on your own ever again!"She was rendered speechless and smiled helplessly. There
Victoria felt guilty, so she looked away.However, she soon looked back and stared straight at Alexander.Ha, what a joke! She was a princess, so why should she be guilty? She had the almighty power. Must she accept the judgment for fighting Cordelia, a commoner?Alexander shut his eyes and let out a long sigh.'She is hopeless!'Their character had been different since they were young. His sister loved to show off, while he kept a low profile.However, every time she made a mistake, he would also be dragged into it. After all, they were family. Outsiders would not care who was the one who really made the mistake. They would blame everything on royalties.Alexander looked at her and asked again, "Sister, do you dare to swear?"Victoria was mad from the humiliation."Who do you think you are? Why must I swear to you?""Ha, so you don't dare?"She pursed her lips and froze where she was.Southeast Aciatic was a religious country. Swearing was a holy and grand thing. The local
Alexander hesitated before softly saying, "If you like Neil, I'll ask him to meet you."Victoria paused and smirked.Her younger brother was soft-hearted. He would consider their familial bond as long as she talked nicely to him. Therefore, if someone were to stab Alexander in the heart one day, he would never suspect that the person who handed over the knife was Victoria.Victoria replied with a smile, "Thank you. But I think the rules of the royal family are important. Our marriages have never been ours to decide. If the Harrises don't have the intention, it'll be useless for me to keep up on my end!"Alright, I'm tired after all this chatting. I don't want to think about it for now."Alexander nodded and watched his sister leave. The furrow of his brows remained even after Victoria was no longer seen in the night.She would not give up so easily based on his understanding of her.Cordelia had already offended her, but not only was Cordelia the heiress of the Irwins, but she
"Ah!" the person cried out of surprise.Cordelia ran to the cradle and protected her son with herself while she fought the person with her life. She hit him with her eyes closed, and the man retreated.Little Zuko, who was in the cradle, was startled awake and wailed."Stop hitting me! Stop hitting!"Your son's crying, and you're still hitting me!"Cordelia, it's me!""Who!?" Cordelia froze abruptly. Her hands clutching her purse hovered in the air.The man, who was one head taller than her, curled up with his hands shielding his head, looking pitiful from being beaten up.The air went silent suddenly…From the gap between his two arms, the man revealed his face to look at her in terror."You… Neil?" Cordelia was shocked.Neil wore a bitter expression as he pulled a long face.Cordelia snapped out of the surprise and could care less about him as she twirled around to carry her son and coax him.A few security guards arrived with electrical batons in their hands, only for C
As Aurelia looked at the glowing insect in her palm, she was so happy that she was at a loss for words. Her big fluttering eyes at Neil contained joy that she had never encountered in the first 18 years of her life."It's really like…" Her voice carried a tinge of a sob from how emotional she was. "It's really like I've got a star!"Neil could not help the lift in the corners of his lips. He was happier than her seeing her so happy. He did not know why he had taken her here today. He just knew his heart would explode if he kept suppressing some things."Aurelia, I—"Before he could get on, Aurelia interrupted him excitedly. "Uncle, where's this? It's like a paradise!"I've been to so many places in Melorian, but none as beautiful as this place!"Neil chuckled. "This is the Irwins' garden, also Sabe's rainforest. Look at the fireflies closely. They have two sets of wings!"Aurelia took a look and was delightfully surprised, giggling in glee.Neil's gaze turned tender unknowingly
