Cordelia looked at him quietly with furrowed brows. Complicated emotions played in her beautiful eyes. She did not hope that it was true, but Alexander’s kindness toward them was truly illogical.
She bit her lips, not looking too happy.
Zephyr hurried to her with a pandering smile.
She glanced at him and pushed him away lightly to keep a distance between them.
“I think… Alexander feels differently about you.”
“What?” Zephyr heard his ears buzzing and was frozen for a long time. “Cordelia, you… Why would you think so?”
“It’s not what I think. It’s him behaving too abnormally.” Cordelia’s voice turned deep. “Don’t you think he’s too nice to us? You thought he liked me initially, but that’s not even it!
“Honey, I think he… he likes you!”
Cordelia’s aggrieved voice was tinged with helplessness.
A woman’s sixth sense would never be wrong. She turned away and could not help tightening her hold around Zuko with her heart pounding.
Zephyr stood rooted innocently, feeling like there was a weight in his chest that he could not push down.
What the heck was this!? A voice in his heart began to holler hysterically, ‘This woman’s gone crazy after becoming a mother, either overreacting or being skeptical all day long!’
She… was even suspecting that a man liked him now! Did she not know how he usually treated her? Would her conscience be clear this way!?
Why did she not become a script writer with how wild her imagination was!? How infuriating!
In spite of it, Mr. Z Hamerton turned right into a docile little lamb after shouting in his own mind. He was all smiles as he approached his wife and wrapped his strong arms around her from her back.
“Darling…” His voice was light and gentle as he indulgently pushed the tip of his nose into her hair. “What’s in your little head these days? Don’t overthink it. You’re tired for the whole day. Let’s take a good rest first.”
Unexpectedly, Cordelia refused to play along. She shook left and right and struggled free from his hold. Turning around with a stern face, she looked like the cool female cop in films.
Zephyr wondered if he should crouch down now with his hands on his head and shout, “Madam, I’m at fault!
“Cordelia, I’ll speak… I’ll speak.” He licked his lips and came clean. “I went to the same university as Alexander, but he knew me, and I didn’t know him then!”
