Zephyr was stunned and rendered speechless.
What was the scariest thing in the world?
It was not being the victim of a plane-accident scheme or being on alert from being harmed since he was young. It was his smart wife who was next to him…
She would always throw him trick questions that made him sweat!
“Tell me!” She inched her face toward his and blinked her big eyes. There was a cryptic smile on her face. “Have you had that thought or not?”
Zephyr thought about it and decided to play it by ear.
He grabbed her hands and looked at her attentively. His voice was deep and electric.
“I admit that I had that thought, but it went away quickly.
“Because…
“I fell in love faster than I imagined I would!
“Wifey, there seemed to be an army in my head. As soon as the thought appeared, it was suppressed by the army!” He smiled. “Then I found out why the army was so powerful because it is called ‘I love you’.”
Cordelia blushed and leaned on him.
Her belly was growing. She could hug him with one hand before, but now she needed both hands.
He hugged her while smiling. At that moment, the baby suddenly moved. He could not help but feel excited to be involved in the magical moment.
“Wifey, is our son greeting me?”
“Mm-hmm.” Cordelia was emotional, choking. She grabbed his waist. “Our son is saying that you can’t put the army away even after he’s born. The army will have to stay in your head forever!”
“Of course.” Zephyr chuckled and rubbed her face with his thumb.
She was plumper since she got pregnant. Her face was even cuter now.
“Wifey, there’ll be three of us after our son is born.” His voice was deep, each word filled with allure.
“Perhaps we’ll have more kids in the future. There’ll be four or five of us…
“But no matter what, I’ll reserve a space for you forever. There’ll only be us in that space. And you… will forever be the supreme commander of the army!”
Cordelia teared up and smiled happily.
…
The launch was ready the next day.
Cordelia was doing the final touches backstage. Neil brought Aurelia to see her.
Although she was six months pregnant, she maintained good order in her work. There were many things to do at the launch. She had to handle many things, yet she handled them with ease.
Aurelia wanted to help but didn't know where to start.
“Cordelia is such a powerful woman. She looks weak, but she’s even more capable than men!” Aurelia admired her, and then she looked at Neil. “Am I right, uncle?”
Neil’s expression changed. He almost gave her another deadly stare.
He and Cordelia were cousins. So why did she call her by her name but called him uncle?
Moreover, she would address anyone else the usual way.
For instance, she would call Fredric brother, Trinity sister, and a respectful Mr. Hamerton when she saw Zephyr.
She would only call him uncle.
Why did she do that?
Aurelia did not understand why he made that face. At that moment, the haute couture dress on the rack got her attention.
