Zephyr pulled a long face as he stared at Josiah with an unsettling gaze.
“Z?” Josiah was smiling, but he was deeply unnerved.
Zephyr really wanted to just say that he did not know him, but he took a deep breath and swallowed his words, replying with a deep hum instead.
Josiah was confused while Kelly smiled and took the same blinking hair clips from the server. She wore one, and Josiah wore another, just like Zephyr and Cordelia.
It took a while, but they finally got a table, and the four of them sat together.
“It’s rare to bump into both of you!” Cordelia said with a smile, “Order whatever you want. I’ll buy the meal!”
“No way!” Josiah grinned as well. “Can’t let you spend on us. I’ll do the honors!”
They looked through the menu as they spoke and went through the dishes.
Cordelia was surprised to see Kelly and was very happy that she could be out and about, so she held her hand and bombarded her with questions.
“Are you doing much better recently?
“Do you still go for regular checkups at the hospital?
“Did Uncle Irwin say when you can stop taking the meds?”
Kelly chuckled, her gaze clear like a pool of spring.
“Kelly’s doing better than before.” Josiah wrapped an arm around her shoulder and looked at her endearingly. “I’ve been accompanying her to the hospital checkups recently!”
“Mm!” Cordelia was genuinely happy for the both of them. “So, the credit’s yours that Kelly’s getting better huh, Mr. Josiah!”
Josiah scratched his head with a silly smile.
There was a hint of a smile on Zephyr’s straight face as well.
“Josiah’s been frivolous all this while, but this, he’s done well!”
“Z, you’re poking fun at me again!” Josiah glared at him innocently. “I’ve been pretty good at doing things for you! I’ve been your ex-cellmate!”
Cordelia laughed heartily when she heard the last word.
