After Zephyr went upstairs, he realized no one was in the master bedroom. He paused before turning to the baby's room.
Back when they set up the baby room, there was another bed aside from Zuko's baby bed. It was intended for the nanny who took care of him at night.
As for now, he saw Cordelia sleeping on that small bed with their son…
Zephyr pursed his lips, and his gaze darkened as he stormed in. This was what he was thinking.
'As expected, can't spoil a woman!'
She was stepping over the line and sleeping in a separate room from him now once she was given her ways! Later, he had to pull out his masculinity as a husband to show her how a wife should follow her husband!
In spite of this, this was what he did.
The closer he got to the bed, the lighter his steps were. He then carefully got into it and squeezed himself on his side in the tiny gap left by the edge of the bed.
He said with a chortle, "Darling, I'll sleep with you and Zuko!"
Cordelia was soundly asleep and did not hear him, merely shuffling closer in her subconscious.
Zephyr, who had his way, put a hand on her waist and held her gently.
With his wife in his arms and their son by the side—the family of three crammed in the small bed… it was like he had gotten a world's worth of bliss.
Zephyr grinned.
However, Zuko picked this time to open his eyes…
Eh? Was this not his stinky daddy who frequently turned, landed on him, and liked tossing him up the sky?
In the night, Zephyr met his son's bright eyes. After a moment of big eyes staring into small ones, Zuko wailed.
"Zuko, good boy, shush!"
Zephyr fumbled and actually put a hand over Zuko's mother directly. Cordelia woke up, startled. She first felt someone next to her and was frightened before her expression changed when she saw that it was Zephyr.
Zephyr's hand was still on their son's face…
…
When the butlers and servants were done with their chores downstairs and were going to rest, they heard the commotion coming from upstairs.
"Is that Mr. Zephyr's voice?"
"What's going on? Is Ms. Cordelia beating Mr. Zephyr up!?"
"Gosh, will Mr. Zephyr get the shorter end of the stick?"
"Let him be, so long as our Ms. Cordelia doesn't!"
"Alright, come on, be off!" The senior butler frowned. "It's their wedding night today… What do you all know!?"
…
The palace was still brightly lit despite the late hours.
