“Centrolis is a big place. There’ll be somewhere for her.” Liam held his dragon-headed cane. “Find her somewhere and settle her down. After you get married, you can still visit her a few times a month.
“As long as she stays in her own lane and doesn’t cause problems, keep her around!”
Zephyr was stunned before he snickered. “You want to make her my lover?”
“A woman like her should be grateful that she’s even a lover!”
Zephyr jolted.
“Impossible!” His voice was sharp. “I’ll never let her suffer such grievances!”
“Then what do you want to do? Marry her?” Liam asked harshly, “I think you’ve lost your mind!”
He panted and turned to look out the window with a hand over her heart.
“Zephyr, break up with her! Even if you don’t want to marry Nelly, you can pick one from the other three major families!”
“I said I don’t want anyone else in this lifetime other than Cordelia!”
“You don’t want anyone else aside from her?” Liam raised his voice and turned back to glare at him. “And if she disappears from this world?”
Zephyr’s ears buzzed, and he could not help stepping back.
Liam pressed closer. “Zephyr, you’re the heir I personally cultivated. No matter what you do, you can only do it with the Hamertons in consideration!
“And my duty is to clear all the obstacles for you… including women!”
Zephyr’s throat tightened, and his gaze grew darker. He gripped his fists and loosened them. The air felt frozen again.
His silence gradually put an appeased expression on Liam. The old man was going to pat his shoulder, but he avoided it abruptly.
Zephyr looked up at him. His icy and sharp gaze was like a beast moving in the night.
“Grandpa.” His words were clear. “If you make her disappear, I promise, you’ll also lose the heir you personally raised!”
“You…”
Liam was shocked. His lips moved, but nothing came out of his mouth.
