Those few days, Cordelia kept Zephyr at arm’s length and was lukewarm to him. She also took a work leave from Imperial Media and went home to take care of Xyla.

After Xyla heard about the reason for their fight, she laughed so hard that she nearly poured the whole bottle of water into her succulents.

“That’s it?” She poked Cordelia’s head and whined. “You’re growing more insensible the older you get!”

“Mom…” Cordelia rubbed her head.

As she calmed down, she also thought she was a little oversensitive this time. It was just that women seemed to have the most accurate sixth sense, and she felt that Zephyr was unlike how he always was that night. His words seemed to imply something else.

Xyla looked nonchalant, but there was an almost unnoticeable quiver in her hands that were watering the plants.
