“Hmm, okay.” Zephyr agreed flatly and turned around to leave.
Zennie and Kate looked at each other. The former said to Cordelia, “I’m going to the bathroom, sis!”
Cordelia was stunned. Meanwhile, Kate started chatting with her.
She could not even make coffee now.
She smiled and thought she would just chat with Kate in the courtyard.
After entering the shop, Zennie saw the man’s wide shoulder behind the counter. She walked over
quietly, but he snapped his head back. His piercing eyes were so cold that they could cut her face.
The girl shivered, then she said with a plastic smile, “Brother—”
“Why did you get Aunt Cloud here?” The man’s face was darker than ink.
Zennie was panting from the panic.
“I’m not trying to do anything! You should thank my mom, brother. If she didn’t come, it would be Nelly
who came today!”

Zephyr raised his sharp eyebrows. His eyes were even fiercer now.
“She knows?”
“I don’t think she knows that you’re here. But I’ve been in Jangasas, so she kept saying that she
wanted to come to be with me. There’s nothing that I could do, so I got my mom here instead.”
He nodded and relieved the frown slowly.
“Don’t worry, brother. My mom usually talks a lot, but she knows very well what to say and what not to
say at critical moments!” Zennie patted her chest to guarantee that.
Zephyr did not worry about that.
After all, Kate had been nice to him since he was young.
However, he felt uneasy that so many of them came to Jangasas.
“Go back if there’s nothing else.” His face looked kinder now. “Second Uncle and the rest think I’m in
Melorian. They’ll be suspicious if you guys keep coming to Jangasas.”
“Second Uncle thinks that you’re in Melorian!” Zennie snickered. “Did you forget that my mom is an
expert with computers? She made the video of you feeding pigeons at the square that Second Uncle
saw! He couldn’t tell at all.”
“Okay.” He looked at her, “Thank Aunt Cloud for me.”
“My mom said there’s no need to thank her as we’re family!”
Zephyr smiled and patted her shoulder.
However, she touched his sore spot at that moment.
“Brother, are you not going back to Centrolis?”
He frowned and looked at her with doubt.
“Nelly is on the move. She has been asking about you and the engagement.
“Brother, I know you like Cordelia, but the engagement you have with Nelly… What are you going to do
about it?”

His face turned grim, and he instantly became fierce.
“When did I have a contract with the Tanners!?”
He moved too much and accidentally pushed the coffee pot. It crushed all over the floor.
Zennie stood aside, scared. Her face paled, and she dared not say a word.
The word “engagement” became his sore spot ever since Cordelia appeared.
In reality, he had not agreed to it, nor were the two families clear about the engagement.
However, Zephyr and Nelly had been close since they studied together. The two families matched each
other, so their parents assumed they would get married.
Zephyr had no feelings for her. He did not even remember what she looked like very well.
Before meeting Cordelia, he thought it would not matter who he married.
However, since meeting her, he wished that he would only be with her.
“What happened?” Cordelia rushed over after hearing the commotion. She saw Zephyr’s terrible look
on his face, Zennie standing aside, frozen, and the broken coffee pot.
‘Oh, no!’ Cordelia thought, ‘Did his hot tamper scare Zennie again?’
