Zephyr lowered his head in silence.
“So, all of you knew.” Cordelia’s eyes were red. “And all of you hid the truth from me, is that right?”
“Wifey…”
Zephyr was nervous.
They had made a pact that they would not hide anything from each other. No matter what happened, they would face it together.
However, he had made the same mistake twice!
Zephyr said softly, “Cordelia, I found out about this recently… It’s complicated, but please believe me that I didn’t hide it from you on purpose.
“I couldn’t be the one that told you that. It had to come from your parents… Can you understand my situation?”
She took a few deep breaths.
That was right. How could she blame him? He was troubled too.
Perhaps she would do the same, too, if it were her. She did not receive love from her father for over 20 years, and she had a father coming out of nowhere. Naturally, the people around her would keep it a secret before the truth came out.
It was a big deal. Unless the person told her himself, would it not be less legitimate if someone else were to tell her instead?
However…
Her tears dropped on the back of his hand.
Just like when Zephyr kept his identity secret, she understood it. It made sense to her, but she just could not take it at first.
“Wifey…” Zephyr hugged her.
Cordelia leaned on him. Tears filled her cheeks, and she felt as if she was sliced by a knife when the chilly wind blew.
Zephyr wiped her tears gently and said. “Wifey, let’s go home, okay?”
Cordelia said nothing. He removed his jacket and covered her.
“It’s okay. No matter what happens, you’ve got me.
