“You?” Zephyr smiled and nodded.

“Be patient. We’ll have to do this slowly!” Frederic eased the atmosphere. “Think of it this way. If you were Cordelia and ran into the pervert who got her into a car accident, would you…”

“Nonsense! I’ll be struck by lightning if I have any improper thoughts about her!”

“Enough.” Zephyr waved. “I’ll definitely explain to her if I get the chance. No matter what, I’ll let you show up in front of her as you are one day. All right?”

Josiah pouted. He nodded, but he was secretly scoffing.

‘You’ll explain to her? It’s never going to happen!

‘You wouldn’t even dare to explain your identity to her!’

“What are you smiling about?” Zephyr raised his sharp eyebrows.

Josiah sat up straight instantly and changed the subject. “N-Nothing! Hah… This shop isn’t bad, Z. She’s usually working, so can you handle this yourself?”

“I can.”

“Do people come in when they see your intimidating face?”

“Ahem!” Fredric glared at him. He should really be taught a lesson.

As expected, Zephyr’s face turned grim. It was scarier than a devil.

“I’m just kidding, Z!” Josiah faked a cough and suppressed his smile. He sat straight to tell him something important.

“I have something serious to tell you today… I saw someone last week when I went on vacation at the hot spring hotel.

“Who?”

Josiah gulped and lowered his voice. “Marcus.”

Zephyr’s eyes turned grim. A ferocious gleam flashed through his eyes.

“What did you say?” Fredric was shocked too. “He’s still alive?”

Zephyr’s expression changed. He said softly, “It’s all in the past… What else do criminals do when they’re together if not fight?”

“Did you hit him?”

“Hmm, you can say so.”

Cordelia nodded.
