“Mom…” Cordelia called out weakly a moment later. She watched her mom carefully. “A-Are you alright?”
Xyla was full of energy. “Mm-hmm, I’m alright!” She brought the apple that she had yet to finish peeling over while speaking. She pierced the knife on the apple—it was majestic.
Cordelia kept quiet.
From what she remembered, her mom had been a soft person, apart from the time when she was ill.
However, her mind had been a mess back then. She did not know what she did when she was throwing tantrums.
She had never been so strict since she felt better now.
Xyla looked at Rowan, who had become a good boy from her roar. He buried his head quietly while sitting by the bed and rubbing his palms. The bed was quite high, and their legs did not touch the floor. Their legs were dangling.
He looked like Ginger when Zephyr used to scream at it.
Cordelia covered her mouth to smile secretly. ‘Hmm… He looks like Humpty-Dumpty.’
She could not hold back and almost laughed out loud. At that moment, a warm, big hand was placed on her back, and she was stunned.
She saw Zephyr smiling at her and saying to Rowan softly, “Don’t worry, sir. My grandpa wants us to get the certificate first so that he can hand down the Hamertons to her legally.
“There’ll definitely be a wedding ceremony, and it’ll be grand. It’s already in planning. As there are many details, we dare not be reckless. That’s why it’s taking some time.”
Cordelia was quite shocked.
Zephyr’s tone and behavior… It was not how he usually treated Rowan! It was his first time being so patient with him.
Meanwhile, Zephyr felt a squeeze in his heart. Perhaps he imagined his future after seeing Xyla’s majesty… Connecting with his current status in the Hamertons—he was not loved by his grandfather and mother—he suddenly felt emphatic with Rowan.
It felt like they were in the same boat. Therefore, his tone became soft instinctively.
Life was hard. Why would a man trouble another man?
He released a heavy sigh…
Rowan looked at him, and his lips quivered. There seemed to be a sparkle in his eyes.
There seemed to be many things hiding the moment they locked eyes.
