Cordelia was stunned. Her cheeks were dusted pink, and the corners of her lips turned up. Ripples spread in her heart, but she kept a nonchalant look, maintaining extremely good poise.
Liam admired her calm composure.
“I’ll take your silence as a yes,” he said with a chuckle. “You’ll be the lady of the house anyway after you marry Zephyr. The family business will be passed to both of you. Hah… I’ve been busy all my life. I can finally have some peace!”
“Grandpa…” Zephyr looked at him in surprise, so happy that he could barely speak.
“Why the face?” Liam scanned him.
Zephyr smiled. “Haven’t you been rejecting this? I was just thinking of telling you about my proposal to Cordelia these two days—”
“You brat!” Before he finished, Liam glared at him. “Who did you say rejected what!?”
Zephyr froze.
“Clark, have I disagreed with anything?”
“Of course not, sir!” Clark took Liam’s side swiftly. “Mr. Zephyr, have you remembered it wrong? Elder Mr. Hamerton has always liked Ms. Cordelia and has long approved of her as his granddaughter-in-law!”
“What about my judgment?”
“When has your judgment gone wrong, sir? Don’t worry, Ms. Cordelia— Oh, Madam Cordelia will definitely run the Hamertons well. You can enjoy your peace!”
Zephyr was baffled, feeling a gust of wind ruffling his hair.
The house had always faced the best direction. Did they forget to close the window or door?
After Liam nagged Zephyr, he immediately put on a kind smile, and even his voice grew much gentler. “Cordelia, I’m full. You both take your time! Heh… I’ve specifically asked for the new Etalian chef today. What do you think of the dishes?”
Cordelia smiled sweetly. “They’re delicious.”
“Then we shall keep this chef around for now!”
“Grandpa, there are enough chefs at home.” Zephyr winced. “You just said to cut out unnecessary expenses…”
