Janine was glad to be of service. “Sure! What is it?”
Cordelia glanced at Zephyr and giggled. “Can you get my salary card back for me?”
“What?”
“I haven’t even gotten to hold my salary card ever since I started working in the news agency!”
Janine frowned. “Which news agency is it? That’s too much! How dare they delay payment?”
“The agency didn’t delay my payment.” Cordelia met Zephyr’s widened eyes and pointed at him with a chuckle, “He took it!”
Janine was surprised.
Although she had opinions about Zephyr recently, she still thought her son was a responsible man. ‘W-When did he develop the awful habit of snatching a woman’s salary card!?’
“Zephyr Hamerton!” she roared.
A lot of people attending the event turned.
Zephyr could not afford to embarrass himself like this and quickly eyed his mother to lower her volume.
Janine did not care. She slapped him again.
“You brat! How dare you snatch Cordelia’s salary card? She works so hard to make money every month, and all of that goes into your pockets!?”
“No. Mom!” Zephyr had never felt this speechless. “We made a promise back then. Cordelia said that she’d take care of me forever!”
“Oh, very successful of you now, huh?” Janine was dumbfounded. “You actually don’t mind spending your wife’s money?”
Zephyr frowned and looked at his mother gloomily. She must not be able to understand that this was how they flirted and showed love.
Due to his mother’s authority, though, he slowly pulled out the salary card. He always carried it with him, tucked in the pocket of his shirt where it was the closest to his heart.
Cordelia beamed. Her pretty eyes turned into crescents, brimming with mischief and affection for him.
Zephyr smiled as well and pinched her cheek.
“Just one card?” Janine glared at him.
Zephyr paused. “What else?”
“And all your other cards. Give them all to Cordelia!”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
