“You brought Cordelia to meet your mother?” asked Liam.
“Yes,” answered Zephyr. “My mom likes her very much.”
“Hah!” Matthew snorted. “Zephyr, Ms. Jenner is really something, huh!? What trick did she play that she won over Madam Baker, who’s so dominant and picky?”
Zephyr’s gaze darkened.
His uncle had said this to create an impression that Cordelia was scheming to his grandfather.
Liam was already dissatisfied with Cordelia’s family background, and it would be harder to win his acknowledgment with the addition of the label of a scheming woman.
Zephyr took in a deep breath and chortled. “Cordelia does get along very well with my mom. This one, she does better than you!”
“What did you say?” Matthew frowned. “Zephyr, why are you getting me involved?”
“I’m just stating a fact.”
Zephyr twirled his pen leisurely. “Uncle Matthew, all these years you’ve spent with my mom, you don’t seem to have received any positive comment?
“Even though she’s a little picky, she’s a good judge of people. Instead of instigating here, Uncle Matthew, you might as well learn from Cordelia and see how you can get closer to my mom. It’d benefit your future development, no?”
Zephyr’s sharp words baffled Matthew.
“You rascal!” Matthew slammed the table and snarled, “Is this how you talk to your elder?”
Liam looked at him unnervingly.
It was only then Matthew realized that he had been too emotional, but he was indignant.
