“I…” Zennie answered innocently, “I’m really here to congratulate you! Besides, Cordelia asked me to come. I didn’t come uninvited!”

“Never mind that you’re freeloading your meals.” Zephyr scowled, “Watch your tongue in front of my wife! Got it?”

“Yeah, yeah!” Zennie giggled. “I’m your baby sister. Would I expose you? You’re Marcus Grist. We don’t know each other! Okay? Sigh, bro… are my cranberry cookies done? I’ll have two and take the rest to-go…”

“Why are you taking away so many?” Zephyr glared at her. “What will we sell when you take them all?”

“That’s petty! Why are you glaring at me over a few cookies? I’ve never seen your heart ache when you spent so much money running the Hamerton Group when you assisted grandpa!”

“How could this be the same?” Zephyr rolled his eyes at her.

The oven dinged. Time was up. He wasted no time talking to her and wore mittens to pull the tray out.

Zennie went over like a greedy kitten, but Zephyr turned the other way with the tray.

The scene was coincidentally caught by Cordelia, who came in to wash her hands.

“Honey!” She was alarmed. “What are you doing!?”

Zennie immediately put on a wronged look and ran to Cordelia.

“Cordelia, he’s not giving me the cookies… He said I eat too much!”

Cordelia glared at Zephyr, signaling him to put the tray down.

Zephyr pressed his lips together. Even though he had a scary look, he obediently placed the tray on the table.
