If she were sentimental back then, she and Henry would not have taken a divorce.
Zephyr took a deep breath in. Cordelia and Zennie’s peals of laughter came from outside.
They sat in the sunlit courtyard with blooming irises around them. The fragrance of cranberry cookies and macchiato filled the air.
At that moment, he wanted to stop time forever.
“Don’t worry.” Kate smiled. “Since your sister likes Cordelia so much, as her mother, I’ll do my best!
“In reality, everyone in the Hamertons is reasonable. It’s just that jerk Matthew at that brat, Yale…”
Kate began to vent.
Zephyr smiled helplessly. She would pretty much take revenge on his behalf whenever Matthew talked behind his back throughout these years.
…
Since finding out about her identity, although Cordelia would smile on the surface, Zephyr could tell that she was upset.
It was fine when she was busy with customers.
When the shop was empty, she would sit alone on the stairs in the courtyard and stare blankly into the sky. She would look blue.
He wanted to cheer her up, so he lowered his head to seek a solution from Linda.
Linda was planning to travel with Nicholas. They were going to Mengasas.
“Why don’t you guys join us?” Linda said happily, “We said we’d go to Mengasas after we made money when we were studying at university. She’ll be over the moon if we go together!”
Nicholas’ expression changed. He immediately shook her.
Linda glared at him. “What? You don’t want that?”
The man smiled—he looked like a coward. “I do… The more, the merrier! It’s just that I’m not sure whether Mr. Grist is willing to come with us. Hah, Linda, maybe they have their own plans. Maybe they want to be alone…
“Am I right, Marcus?”
