Zephyr chuckled. “What is it?”
“I got admitted by exception!”
“Admitted by exception?”
“Yeah, University of Centrolis! I got into the medical department!”
Cordelia smiled and took back her phone.
“Carter really got into the University of Centrolis?” Zephyr was surprised. The boy was only 16-17 years old and had not even finished high school yet.
“Mm, the admission letter is here too.” Cordelia was proud of her younger brother. “The professors from the University of Centrolis came personally for the selection. Carter passed a total of five tests and came out first in all of them!”
“Congratulations!” Zephyr smiled. His brother-in-law was quite like him—outstanding and enrolled in a famous university at a young age.
In that case, would Carter be moving to Centrolis for university? If Cordelia and her mother could come along with the chance…
Zephyr kept a straight face, but he was secretly thrilled.
He said softly, “Carter, let me know the day of registration. I’ll make arrangements for it.”
“No need!” Cordelia refused the idea. “Carter’s already a big boy… He should learn to be independent. There’s no need to trouble you, really! He’ll sort things out himself for the day.”
“Cordelia…”
“It’s getting late.” Cordelia’s gaze was evasive. “I’ll hang up now. You should rest early too!”
Before Zephyr could say anything, he lost sight of Cordelia on the screen. He stared at his phone for some time, his heart achingly empty.
Robert advised kindly, “Sir, Ms. Cordelia needs time. You should be more patient!”
“Mm, I know.” Zephyr’s voice was calm. “This is already much better than what I’ve imagined. At least she’s willing to talk to me now.”
Robert felt bad. Since when did his young master have to bow down so low to others before? Despite that, nothing in this world could compare to two willing parties. This was on Zephyr’s willingness.
