Her voice slowly went softer. “We’re just going to live in Centrolis.”

Zephyr understood what she meant. She was just taking her mother to live somewhere different, and it was a coincidence that Carter got into the University of Centrolis.

Zephyr was a little down, but he smiled shortly. At least they managed to close in on their distance. She was willing to live in the same city as him.

As long as they were together, he could take care of and protect her.

Cordelia called for him again, and he answered instinctively, “Yes, honey?”

Cordelia blushed in the shadows and said softly, “Give me your phone.”

“Huh?” Zephyr froze. Was his wife going to check what he had been up to? In that case, it proved that he was still in her heart…

“Here you go.” Before he finished, Cordelia returned his phone to him.
