Since the guest was already there, it did not make sense for Cordelia and Zephyr to chase him away.
Cordelia held Zephyr's arm as they followed behind Alexander. The Irwins often hosted royals at Irwin Manor, but they rarely hosted anyone at this hour.
Fortunately, Alexander was nice. They only got a butler to stay, as they did not need any fanfare.
After the butler served snacks, Zephyr got him to leave.
They were the only three people left in the living room.
Cordelia was eager to laugh when she saw his angry face. She secretly held his hand, showing him a warm and determined face.
Zephyr's face instantly perked up, and he started smiling gently now. They looked at each other, seemingly forgetting that there was someone with them. They seemed to only have each other in their eyes.
"Ahem!"
Alexander faked a cough to pull them back to reality.
Cordelia let go of Zephyr's hand immediately, but the latter stopped that from happening. The second she let go, he held her hand tightly again.
"They say Mr. and Mrs. Irwin's love is strong," Alexander chuckled. "But I think Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton's relationship is worth of envy too!"
Cordelia's cheeks blushed, and she looked down.
Zephyr smirked and served him tea as the head of the family. "I brought this tea from Centrolis. If you like it, I can get someone to bring it here every year."
Alexander smiled courteously and tasted it. The tea was soothing—it was a rare, good tea indeed.
"I've long heard that the head of the four families in Centrolis has great taste. I can see that from your taste in tea alone!"
"This is a type of green tea." Zephyr looked cold as he wore a cryptic smile. "Drinking tea is just like women wearing accessories. They should wear what fits them! Am I right, Your Highness?"
"Hmm, that's a fresh point of view… And it's correct!"
Alexander did not understand what he meant by that. He smiled like a fool.
However, Cordelia knew what Zephyr meant. She could not help but squeeze his hand.
He gasped and stared at her.
She held back her laughter.
Alexander saw everything they did.
He watched Cordelia silently before he looked at Zephyr in the end. His eyes had a complicated look, but he soon looked away.
