Cordelia hugged Zephyr, leaning her head on his chest.
When she heard his powerful heartbeat, it brought her security and warmth.
“Hubby, does she know that you bugged her backpack?”
“No,” Zephyr said. “She can’t find out.”
“Hubby…” Cordelia smiled. “Seems like great minds think alike!”
“What?”
She smiled in silence. She turned around to grab a small item that was like a USB drive from her bag and connected it to her computer.
Zephyr was stunned. “What’s this?”
“It’s similar to your secret listening device.” She turned her head to look at him. “But it’s a special communication device from the Southeast Aciatic’s military. It can see her phone’s content.
“I’ve used this since earlier. Let’s wait for a little bit. We should get news soon. Hmm… We should get something tomorrow morning if we don’t get anything tonight.”
Zephyr did not focus on the last sentence. His thoughts stopped when he heard “Southeast Aciatic’s military”...
They said even the aristocrats would have to respect the Irwins, but he never thought they were connected with the military.
If that were the case… If the Irwins' princess was upset, the entire Southeast Aciatic’s military would be upset too!?
He secretly gulped.
When they got married in that terrible house, he would never have thought that the person who replaced his bride was not a weak rabbit…
She was a powerful queen!
So, he was really the queen’s man now.
“I’m talking to you, hubby. Did you hear me?”
“Oh…” He snapped back to his senses and chuckled. “I hear you!”
“Grandpa is right. You’ve been zoning out a lot!”
“Really?” He straightened his body and played with her hair. He could not hide his love for her in his smile.
“Oh yeah, when did you get this, wifey?”
“It was Neil who got it for me.” She smiled. “Naturally, I had to trade this with something!”
“What benefit did you give him?”
“Trinity’s next movie! I told him that no matter who she chose by then, we’ll promote him as the male lead.”
“Cordelia…” Zephyr smirked. “That’s favoritism!”
“Don’t you wish for them to be together?”
“But what about Freddy?”
“Well…” Cordelia had not thought that through.
It was Neil who helped Trinity through her hardship.
She had been in love with Fredric for many years, but she got nothing back.
Was an unresponsive love true love?
“Hubby, must you side with your best friend?”
“Of course not!” Zephyr was eager. “I side with your family!”
Cordelia laughed out loud.
“I don’t care which side you’re on,” she said gently. “It’s their business. We’ll just let the three of them do whatever they want. We can’t help anyway, so let’s just watch things unfold naturally.”
“Okay.”
“But…” Cordelia grabbed his collar. “You must side with me no matter what it is!”
“Of course!” He smiled gently.
