"What are you thinking about?" Cordelia looked at Zephyr with her big eyes. "You're smiling so happily!"
"I'm thinking about what would happen to us if we stayed in Jangasas instead of moving."
Cordelia was stunned. "I think we wouldn't be happy."
"Why not?"
"I know you miss the simple life we had in Jangasas." She looked at him in all seriousness. "But it's impossible for us to stay simple. We must face the toughness of life and the dramas among people.
"Since we have to face that, I'd rather do it in Centrolis or here. At least we have our family's support!"
Zephyr smiled lightly. She was getting more and more mature.
"I kind of like the simple life before," he said. "But I like the complicated life we have now too.
"No matter what, I love it when I have you in my life."
Cordelia's eyes lit up, and she smiled.
Zephyr held her hands as he enunciated each word. "So, wifey, don't meet Alexander on your own ever again!"
She was rendered speechless and smiled helplessly. There was playfulness in her eyes. "Don't tell me you really think Alexander has fallen for me? I'm already a mom. What does he want from me?"
"Moms can be charming too!" Zephyr said in all seriousness.
Cordelia did not want to fight him. No matter what, she was perfect to him.
She smiled sweetly, adjusted her posture, and lay comfortably in his embrace.
Although she did not believe that Alexander, a royal, had the fetish of coveting someone's wife, she had decided to keep a distance from him.
"I'll try my best to reject their invitations," she said. "But I think Neil has it worse. I don't think Victoria would let him go easily."
Zephyr patted her back softly and kissed her hair.
Cordelia's breathing was rhythmic, and she fell asleep soon. However, Zephyr was tossing and turning. What Alexander had said before he left was echoing in his head.
"Mr. Z, don't you recognize me?"
He frowned hard and had a feeling there was a hidden meaning to that.
