Cordelia chuckled dryly and punched him.
“I was on the phone with Josiah.” Zephyr began to lie in all seriousness. “He’s been doing great with Kelly recently, and the two of them have been looking for social-media-famous shops online every day. They found one again… and asked us to try it with them!”
Cordelia blinked. “Is he serious about Kelly? He better not be interested at the moment and not care about her once the novelty wears off!”
Zephyr smiled softly. “Josiah has a wealthy background and is carefree usually. He could sometimes be flippant too… but I can guarantee that he’s one of the rare good men left in this world.”
“Oh, didn’t expect you to think of him so highly!” Cordelia’s eyes were shining playfully. “Then are you going to tell me that you’re even more of a good man since your friend’s a good man too?”
“Birds of a feather flock together,” Zephyr replied seriously. “I wouldn’t be humble for the sake of it, and anyone who’s my close friend is naturally decent too!”
“Okay, so I’ve got myself a treasure. Happy?”
“I’m the one who’s got himself a treasure.” Zephyr held Cordelia’s hand with an affectionate smile. The love in his eyes was gooey, just like melted sugar.
He went closer to her ear and said unhurriedly, “The woman who’s my wife is naturally… the one and only good woman in this world!”
Cordelia blushed and smiled.
The man’s voice was nice, and what he said was nice too. Recently, he’d kept using this nice voice to say nice things to her. Was he trying to kill her with all this sweetness?!
When they had gone back last week, Xyla had complimented her, saying she’d gotten prettier once she’d stepped inside. It had surprised her because she knew Xyla had a high standard and strict conditions for the word “pretty”.
It seemed that love was really the best makeup for a woman. When she met the right man, the genuine bliss and unique charm she exuded would liven her up.
“What are you smiling about?” Zephyr looked at her.
Cordelia looked up to meet his deep eyes and chuckled. “I’m just thinking that the heavens have been really nice to us. They let us be together, Linda and Nicholas reconciled, and even Josiah and Kelly became an item!”
Zephyr nodded. Well, she would soon find out that there was also Frederic and Trinity…
Actually, he had been planning it. Trinity was straight but if she acted the part long enough, she might awaken some inner calling. What if she changed her sexual orientation one day? She would seduce Cordelia then!
Zephyr, who had been wanting to set up Seth and Zennie, had immediately decided that he could put off his sister’s relationship to make Frederic and Trinity’s relationship official!
“Zephyr,” Cordelia said softly. “We shouldn’t just be happy ourselves. We want the people around us to be happy too! Right?”
“Yes!” Zephyr smiled. He had been about to mention Trinity’s crush on Frederic, only for the girl to beat him to it.
“Our friends are all in pairs now, so we can’t overlook our elders!”
“Huh?” Zephyr paused.
“I need to arrange for my mom to meet Uncle Irwin again!”
…
Centrolis had been sunny for days, while there was a light drizzle shower in Jangasas. There were even two hailstorms, and the drop in temperature could take one aback.
William’s empty office was pretty much dead. He had caught a cold himself too.
Upon going out today, he had forgotten his umbrella, so he was completely soaked.
