A large cruise sailed along the Bayers’ private sea area.
Melodic piano music resonated across the beach, and even the seagulls danced along.
Rowan was one of the invited guests. He stood at the deck and sipped on his champagne, knowing full well why the Bayers had invited him.
It was for the joint hospital project.
He smirked and finished the champagne to turn back to the restroom on the cruise.
He suddenly heard a deep and mocking voice as he rested with his eyes closed on the couch.
“Mr. Irwin, you didn’t bring your Siamese cat along?”
Rowan’s eyes flew open abruptly.
Zephyr stood before him with a mocking smile on his icy face. He looked at him coldly. “Mr. Irwin, have you been fine?”
Rowan took a deep breath.
“Mr. Zephyr.” He got up and smiled.
As both of them stood across each other, Zephyr’s icy gaze turned vicious as he took a sudden step forward to force Rowan to the wall.
If he had not rushed to the veterinary hospital in time that day, who knew what the sly fox would have done to Cordelia!?
“Rowan Irwin.” Zephyr’s voice was icy. “Are you so impatient to lay a finger on the people around me?”
“What are you talking about?” Rowan frowned.
“Stop acting dumb with me!” Zephyr said through his gritted teeth, “That cat isn’t even yours, is it?”
Rowan rolled his eyes and was going to leave when Zephyr yanked his collar and pushed a gun against his waist!
“What’s your purpose in approaching Cordelia?”
“Do you believe me if I say I have none?”
He had actually thought about the same question. He basically did not know Rowan, and they did not have any conflict of interest. Why would he want to harm him?
Furthermore, from what he had gathered, Rowan did not seem to have a good relationship with Matthew.
Zephyr’s expression was cold. “Alright, even if you didn’t harm me, what’s your purpose in approaching Cordelia?”
Rowan tensed.
It was then Zephyr’s phone rang. Cordelia called him.
“Zephyr, where are you?” Her voice was soft. “I’m bored at the deck! And you’re not accompanying me…”
“Alright.” Zephyr chuckled. “I’ll be right—”
Before he finished his sentence, Rowan started huffing at him. “You left her alone at the deck just so you can come and push this stupid gun at me!?
“Zephyr Hamerton, you brat! Go and keep her company!”
