See, his sister was so nervous even when Zephyr choked on water!
Carter chuckled and slipped away with the excuse of wanting to sleep due to his jetlag.
Zephyr recovered and felt like laughing, looking at Cordelia.
"I didn't expect my father-in-law to be so brutal."
"Yeah," Cordelia answered as she patted his back. "He has a successor for his silver needles now!"
Zephyr suddenly thought of something. Carter was great medically, so it might be useful.
Cordelia snuggled Zephyr like a kitten. "Darling, I'm sleepy."
"Let's go back to sleep in our room."
"But I don't want to walk…"
"Fine." Zephyr was ready to fulfill all her requests. "I'll carry you!" he said as he princess-carried Cordelia and went upstairs slowly.
"Darling, it's like I don't need legs anymore after encountering you!"
"No way," Zephyr said softly. "You don't need them most of the time, but there's a time when you do."
"When?"
"When you're unhappy," he said with a smile and an indulging gaze, "You can kick me when you're upset!"
Zephyr thought that his answer was flawless and was moved by his impressive speed of EQ improvement recently when Cordelia asked with a frown, "Darling, why would I have times when I'm unhappy?"
“…”
"What? Did you mean I'd be unhappy with you?"
“…”
"Then why should I be with you!?"
