Zephyr’s gaze was a little icy with a wash of doubt.

The last time Zennie visited him in the hospital, she said that Phil accompanied her to Jangasas. He did not even remember the Hamertons having such a person. He later thought carefully and recalled that it seemed to start with Phil’s grandfather working long-term with them. They were usually responsible for cleaning and would not appear before him. How did this fellow leave an impression on Zennie?

Zephyr stayed aloof and asked, “He hasn’t returned yet?”

“Of course not! How could he be at peace knowing I’m alone in Jangasas!?”

“He’d be worried about you?”

“Hmm… yeah!” Zennie looked flustered. “He’s here to… protect me.”

“You have to take people with you when you go out, but of all the bodyguards we have, you’re taking a gardener?”

“Bro!”

“Zennie!” Zephyr looked stern. “Know your place and keep yourself away from Phil Nelson!”

“Why!?”

“You’ll just make things hard for yourself!” he said surely. “That guy isn’t worthy of you. Stay away while you can!”

“You mean he has a low background?” Zennie huffed. “Then what about you and Cordelia? You’re already hiding your identity and becoming a model husband in Jangasas, and you’re nagging me—”

“I’m different from you!” Zephyr raged, growling with a suppressed tone.
