Cordelia was even more surprised. “Why are you taking our marriage certificates!?”
Zephyr felt his throat tighten, and his lips grew dry. He did not know how to explain it.
While Cordelia had been away, he had found the marriage certificates, and as expected, it was Marcus Grist’s name on them. Back when Cordelia got married on behalf of Yelena, the Jenners had pulled some strings and registered the marriage with Marcus’ ID directly.
If he had known that he would fall so deep for Cordelia now, he would have gone to the registration personally, no matter what.
Frederic had told him that it was not too late to change the name now. It was just a little more troublesome.
In spite of it, Cordelia caught him when he had just wanted to take the certificates with him.
“Darling, what’s the matter?” Cordelia was vaguely disconcerted seeing the man in a daze.
“You… made a mess of our home just to find the marriage certificates? Why do you need them?”
Zephyr forced a smile and uttered something completely ridiculous after a stretched silence, “I’m just looking.”
“What’s there to look at?”
Cordelia widened her eyes and did not know whether to wince or laugh. She pulled the certificates out of his hand and locked them back in the drawer.
Zephyr stayed silent.
Cordelia looked at him. She could no longer remember how many times it had been that this man stood before her like a boy who had done something wrong. The man was tall and strong, but each time he hung his head apologetically and stayed silent, she caved.
Cordelia chuckled helplessly and cupped his face with both hands. Her gaze was clear like pools of spring water.
“There’s something wrong with you, honey. Have you run into something frustrating recently?”
Zephyr took a deep breath and hugged her tightly, greedily breathing in her sweet fragrance.
“Never mind. Since you’ve already caused this mess, I’ll just let you know where things are!” Cordelia smiled and patted his back.
