Did William really not know about this, though? Then why did Joanne occasionally blurt insults like “b*stard” when she scolded her in the past? Come to think of it, Joanne might have used that insult in the heat of the moment, but because it was something based on the truth…
Were she and Carter really kids with an unknown father?
Cordelia’s thoughts were scattered. It felt like there were straws in her throat, making it hard to breathe.
Zephyr crouched down in front of her and softly combed his hand through her hair with a tender gaze.
He said with a soft voice, “Darling, let’s go home.”
“I—”
“Shh, I understand. I know that you’re not in a good mood now, and we can’t get to the bottom of some things right off the bat.
“We take things slow, honey. I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens. Don’t worry, okay?”
Cordelia met his eyes and felt like crying.
Zephyr kept a tight hold on her hand as they went home, giving her a sufficient sense of security.
When they got home, Cordelia saw the strewn childcare magazines on the coffee table. The laptop was not turned off, and the site on display was a maternity and childcare forum as well.
This was information Zephyr read up on through the night. Not only had he read them, but he had also taken notes. His notes were filled with things pregnant women should keep an eye out on, how new fathers should take care of their children, how to prevent postpartum depression for one’s wife…
There were already things piled up in their bedroom—blankets for the baby and radiation-proof clothes for pregnant women.
Cordelia felt a pinch on her nose, and she could not help the tears that flooded her eyes. She kept her head low in silence.
Zephyr hugged her gently and let her express her emotions.
“Darling,” she said softly after a long time. “We really shouldn’t have celebrated so soon. I should have told you after I made sure of it. Now you got happy for nothing…”
“What’s wrong?” Zephyr smiled. “We can use these in the future.”
