Zephyr smiled helplessly. There was nothing he could do about Cordelia. Well, she was the boss now. She had to have the temperament of the matriarch when she was the one running the household now.
He took her into his arms and rubbed her back softly.
He said softly, “Promise me, if Lukas finds out who you are and you can’t get anything from him, do not fight him…”
“Mm, I’ll protect myself.”
Zephyr looked at her in full attention. “Find somewhere and hide. Leave everything else to me!”
The next day…
Cordelia made taro boba milk tea and strawberry egg tarts to take them to Gale Bay.
Zennie was cooped up in the room, and the maid told Cordelia that she had not been too happy these days.
“Dr. Stafford’s gone to participate in a medical seminar in Jangasas, and Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton are overseas, taking care of the foreign market…”
“So, Zennie has been staying home alone these days?” Cordelia widened her eyes.
“Not exactly,” the maid answered honestly. “Ms. Zennie revises in her room most of the time. Sometimes, the cousins come over, and they chat for a bit.”
Cordelia nodded.
The Hamertons had a lot of relatives, and Zennie had a number of female cousins around her age. They got along pretty well all this while.
It was just that with so many things happening recently, Zennie might not be in the mood for fun.
Cordelia knocked on the door, and Zennie opened it after a while. She looked haggard, and the deep dark eye circles under her eyes pained Cordelia.
“Cordelia!” Zennie forced a smile. “What brings you here?”
“Haven’t seen you in days, so I’m here to check if you’re studying hard.” Cordelia put up a cheery act. “I’m also here to send some exam candidate specials!”
