The other end of the line went silent for a bit before the girl’s soft voice was heard.
“I love you too.”
Cordelia’s heart thumped. Her cheeks felt like they were burning. She quickly hung up after what she said. Holding her phone in a daze, she giggled after a while.
Both of them had never officially said things like “I love you” despite being married for so long.
Cordelia stretched. She felt like she was on cloud nine. That man was definitely going to be in her dream again tonight.
Zephyr was going to ask Robert to pick him up after he ended the call, but he heard someone behind him.
“Is that Ms. Jenner?”
Alarmed, he turned around abruptly with an icy gaze.
“Why are you still here!?”
“Zephyr…” Nelly paused and backtracked. “Mr. Hamerton, you and Ms. Jenner aren’t going to work out in the long term…”
Zephyr snarled, “What’s between her and I have nothing to do with you!”
“But it does with the Hamertons.”
“You aren’t a Hamerton. Why worry so much?”
Nelly trembled. Jealousy burned bright within her, devouring her pride and rationality.
She more or less had heard Zephyr and Liam’s fight in the study earlier, and Zephyr’s rare tenderness when he was on the phone made it disbelieving that he was the third Hamerton heir who had always been aloof and arrogant.
Their marriage that would tie the Hamertons and the Tanners together was already a tacit agreement, and she had always acted like she was the daughter-in-law of the Hamertons. Why… Why was there a Cordelia Jenner out of the blue!?
Nelly took a deep breath and balled her hands. She tried her best to plaster on a natural smile.
