Zephyr had already scolded Rowan over a thousand times in his mind. Despite what was brewing in him, he dared not express his rage verbally and could only ask Cordelia softly, “Really?”
Cordelia nodded. “My mom’s lived in Southeast Aciatic all her life. There’s no fault in it that she wants to return to her hometown and settle there, right?”
“Well… yes.” Zephyr could only go along with what she said.
“Southeast Aciatic’s traditional and reserved. Carter and I are both Irwins, so we have to reunite and restore our identities, right?”
Zephyr licked his lips and continued to nod. “Mm… that’s true.”
Cordelia could not help giggling and patted his suit. “So, I’ll go back with my parents. You be good here—”
“What!?”
Before she finished, Zephyr’s raised voice interrupted her.
Cordelia looked innocent. “You don’t want to let me leave?”
“Of course!”
“Then… come along with me?”
Zephyr froze and met Cordelia’s playful eyes.
She said with a chuckle, “Darling, didn’t you say that it’s you marrying into my family and not the other way around?”
Zephyr was baffled. He did not expect that he had dug himself such a huge trap in the past!
“Son, you said something like that before?” Janine popped a head over to ask when she heard them.
Zephyr coughed. It was to stop his mother from broadcasting it, but the woman’s loud voice was like a speaker as she laughed.
