“Don’t worry!” Cordelia grinned. “Focus on your training and competition these few days. I’ll get the presents for your relatives ready. We’ll go visit them one by one after you come back, okay?”

Zephyr held her hand, having decided that he would come clean after taking care of things.

“Honey, I won’t be away for long. Just two to three days. Stay home and wait for me!”

“Mm!”

“When I come back, I’ll tell you everything about my family and me.”

Centrolis was not too far away from Jangasas, so he wanted to drive back.
