Zephyr’s expression changed. He said softly, “It’s all in the past… What else do criminals do when

they’re together if not fight?”

“Did you hit him?”

“Hmm, you can say so.”

Cordelia nodded.

Everyone who was in prison before was abusive. It made sense that they were troubled mentally. Just

like Nicholas, who always wanted to be on the top, would naturally be upset that Marcus hit him.

However, Zephyr was different. Apart from his serious face and the fact that he hardly talked, to her,

there was nothing wrong with him.

Cordelia’s big, beautiful eyes were bright. She looked at her husband in silence. The more she looked,

the more she thought she got herself a treasure.

Her tiny hand caressed his chiseled face. He did not have the time to shave, so his stubs made her

itchy.

“Why are you staring at me?” Zephyr had an alluring voice as he patted her head.

“Nothing,” said Cordelia softly. “I just realized not only is my husband fair, but he’s forgiving too!

“Nicholas did that to you, yet you think he’s loyal. Not everyone is as generous as you!”

Zephyr’s eyes dimmed. “Am I really that good to you?”

“Of course!”

He hugged her, hoping that time would stop at that moment.

Cordelia thought it was unfair. “Hubby, although you think he’s loyal, he’s heartless to be doing this to

Linda in my books! It’s sad that she likes him so much!”

“He’s quite helpless.” Zephyr played with her hair. “Perhaps he mercilessly distanced himself from her

because he thought they were from different worlds since he was in prison before and now he’s in a

gang.

“He’s keeping his distance to protect her.”

“Is that so?” Cordelia raised her eyebrows. “Do you men think loving in their own way is the right way to

treat women?”

Zephyr was stunned. He remained silent.

“Let me tell you. You guys shouldn’t do that!”

Placing her hand before him, Cordelia was worked up as she spoke. She poked his chest with her

skinny finger.

“Hmm…” Zephyr chuckled. “What do you think he should do, then?”

“If Nicholas thinks he’s protecting her by keeping his distance, he should just tell her directly. Then she

wouldn’t be heartbroken because of him until now!

“Is he doing that for her own good? He’s hurting her! I hate that people hide the truth! If he really likes

her, then don’t hide it! How is it love when there are so many misunderstandings between them?”

Cordelia pouted as she spoke. Her voice was getting softer.

“A-Although I hid something from you before, I admitted it later on. No matter what, I’ve never hidden

anything from you since then!”

Zephyr felt a jolt in his heart and instinctively frowned.

Cordelia wrapped her hands around his neck and rubbed against him coquettishly.

She was so sweet that she melted his heart.

“Hubby…”

“Hmm?”

“Can you not hide anything from me from now on? Don’t be like Nicholas, especially. He says that he’s

doing that for her own good, but he hurts her instead!”

Zephyr pursed his lips hard, and his eyes were dimming.

What Cordelia said felt like a bone stuck in his throat.

Nevertheless, he merely hugged her tightly and patted her back. It was unknown when she fell asleep

in his embrace. While watching her with his head held low, smelling her sweet scent, caressing her soft

face with his fingers… he suddenly thought each moment they spent together was a blessing.

Would he have to return this blessing sooner or later?

He took a deep breath in and shut his eyes, getting rid of those messy thoughts.

No matter what, she was still by his hide.

No matter what, he wanted to be with her forever.

Josiah hid outside of Iris and peeped around.

After Cordelia finished breakfast, gave Zephyr a kiss on the cheek, waved goodbye, and left far away,

he released a long sigh of relief and walked into the courtyard slowly with his hands in his pockets.

Fredric followed behind him. He patted the former’s shoulder and entered with him while smiling.

Zephyr prepared the coffee beans and placed the few desserts Cordelia had made in the morning on

display. He lifted his eyes. Seeing them coming in, he signaled them to sit wherever they wanted.

He had not had breakfast yet. Seeing that there were quite some leftovers from Cordelia, he pulled the

plate toward him and started eating naturally.

The two of them were stunned to see that.

What happened to his OCD? What happened to his pet peeves from before? What happened to his

pickiness in food?

Was his wife’s leftovers so… good?

“Z.” Josiah looked at him with a plastic smile. “When will you ever introduce me to her? You can’t be

treating me like I’m invisible forever!”

“You?” Zephyr smiled and nodded.

“Be patient. We’ll have to do this slowly!” Frederic eased the atmosphere. “Think of it this way. If you

were Cordelia and ran into the pervert who got her into a car accident, would you…”

“Nonsense! I’ll be struck by lightning if I have any improper thoughts about her!”

“Enough.” Zephyr waved. “I’ll definitely explain to her if I get the chance. No matter what, I’ll let you

show up in front of her as you are one day. All right?”

Josiah pouted. He nodded, but he was secretly scoffing.

‘You’ll explain to her? It’s never going to happen!

‘You wouldn’t even dare to explain your identity to her!’

“What are you smiling about?” Zephyr raised his sharp eyebrows.

Josiah sat up straight instantly and changed the subject. “N-Nothing! Hah… This shop isn’t bad, Z.

She’s usually working, so can you handle this yourself?”

“I can.”

“Do people come in when they see your intimidating face?”

“Ahem!” Fredric glared at him. He should really be taught a lesson.

As expected, Zephyr’s face turned grim. It was scarier than a devil.

“I’m just kidding, Z!” Josiah faked a cough and suppressed his smile. He sat straight to tell him

something important.

“I have something serious to tell you today… I saw someone last week when I went on vacation at the

hot spring hotel.

“Who?”

Josiah gulped and lowered his voice. “Marcus.”

Zephyr’s eyes turned grim. A ferocious gleam flashed through his eyes.

“What did you say?” Fredric was shocked too. “He’s still alive?”
