Clark was astonished.
Liam was usually cold and strict. Rarely were there times like this when he huffed with a glare. It was pretty rare, and what was rarer was that he acted this way because of Cordelia.
Clark smiled and helped the old man back to his room for rest. The servant sent in the tonic that he took every night.
Liam finished it with a furrow of brows and placed the bowl back on the tray with a thud.
Clark was worried. “Sir, any medicine has its side effects. I think it’s better that you drink less of it.”
“It’s fine.” Liam waved a hand. “I’ve been drinking this since I was young. It’s been decades now, and it’s already a habit. Besides, these are holistic herbs. They’re nourishing. They aren’t harmful!”
Clark wanted to say more, but nothing came out despite his open mouth.
In Royal Manor at night…
When Cordelia came out from her shower, she saw that Zephyr was already asleep. She checked the time—it was only 8:00 p.m.
Work was busy recently, and Zephyr frequently worked overtime. It was rare that he slept early today.
Cordelia smiled upon recalling that this man had confidently told her during dinner that there would be a meteor shower at 8:00 p.m. tonight and that both of them were to sit at the roof hand in hand and make a wish.
He was kind of endearing when he acted childish sometimes.
Cordelia tucked him in carefully before she slipped inside herself, pulling a corner of the sheets up.
Zephyr’s even breathing was just next to her ear.
