“Cordelia, you’re home alone. Be careful in everything you do.” Zephyr was worried.

Even though he knew that the men Robert had arranged were fine, his heart stayed lurched in his throat as long as he was not around Cordelia.

“Remember to check the water, electricity, and gas before you sleep. You’ve got to turn off the master switch before you leave the house,” Zephyr reminded. “And lock the doors and windows. Hang my clothes on the balcony and keep a pair of my shoes by the door. This way, people will know that you have a man in the house.”

“Mm, got it!”

“Don’t simply open the door for others!”

“Darling, do you think I’m three?”

Zephyr chuckled. She was the one who had taught him some of the tips.

“Oh, yeah. Honey, I’m picking mom up from the hospital tomorrow,” said Cordelia. “I’ll go over to take care of her quite often once she gets home.”

“Mm, okay,” answered Zephyr. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of mom with you.”

“Darling…”

Even though the man had never seen his mother-in-law, he had always called her “mom”. Cordelia was comforted by the gesture and told him softly, “It’s getting late. Sleep early.”

“Okay.” Zephyr was reluctant to end the call. “You sleep early too.

“Hey, Cordelia…”

“What is it?”

He licked his lips and said with a deep voice, “Tell me goodnight.”

‘Huh?’ Cordelia paused and did as she was told. “Goodnight.”

Zephyr grinned contentedly. “Goodnight. I love you.”

Zephyr stopped walking, his back tall and aloof. He snapped his head around to stare at Nelly with a smirk. His icy gaze was mocking.

“Marriage?

“Ms. Tanner, when did we have a marriage agreement?”

Nelly’s heart thumped as she widened her eyes.

“From my understanding, a marriage agreement exists on the basis of mutual willingness. It’s a pity. I don’t think we’re equipped with that condition!”

“Zephyr, you—”

“I think it’s better that you address me as Mr. Hamerton.” Zephyr sneered. “Ms. Tanner, we aren’t so familiar with each other that we can call each other by names!”
