“But you settled it in a few words.” Cordelia chuckled wryly. “I still have to rely on you ultimately…”

Zephyr held her hand and hugged her gently again. As her face was pressed against his chest, she was engulfed in a sense of security upon hearing the familiar heartbeat.

The man rubbed her hair, his voice low and gentle. “You’re already doing great. You live well even without relying on me.

“As for this case…” He said, “Carter’s my younger brother too. I can’t just sit and watch him being wronged. Naturally, I have to do what I can to help him.”

Cordelia beamed and snuggled deeper into his embrace.

She knew that it was her fragile ego that was messing with her. She kept feeling inferior from time to time before him. She also knew that it was not nice of her. This man had been doting on her, protecting her, and loving her. It was petty of her to act like this.

Cordelia took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist, saying softly, “Thank you.”

Zephyr smiled in contentment. Hugging her like this was like he had gotten the whole world.

Suddenly, two beams of light flashed on them before the sound of a car stopping echoed. Both of them froze as they watched a red Porsche stop in front of them.
