Chapter 404
Cordelia went to the deck after her shower.
The sun was right in the center of the sky currently, so it was most probably
noon. It was already fall, but it was still quite warm. The deck was toasty from
the sun and felt comfortable under the feet.
Cordelia saw Rowan sitting at the bow.
Rowan noticed her as well and turned back to greet her.
“Mr. Irwin.” Cordelia nodded with a smile.

“Where’s your boyfriend?” he asked her with a smile.
“He’s gone to wash the clothes.” Cordelia pointed at the forest. “By the spring.”
Rowan gave it a thought and went closer to her to ask, “Does he usually do the laundry when you two are home?”
“We have a helper at home, and she usually does the chores.”
Rowan creased his brows. “So, this brat is lazy and doesn’t do anything?”
Cordelia smiled awkwardly. She did not understand why this older man was
poking his nose into everything.
Maybe it was because his children were not around him, and he still wanted to
have the authority of a father. ‘What a strange old man…’
“Hmm… Actually, Zephyr does quite a lot. Isn’t he washing the clothes now? He
doesn’t allow me to touch cold water ever.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
Ever since Rowan met Zephyr, the father-in-law in him had a form in his mind
automatically-adding points for every right thing done and subtracting points
for every mistake. Until now, Zephyr’s score was negative.
Rowan pursed his lips and muttered in a low tone, “What’s there to show off
about not letting you touch cold water? A man shouldn’t let his woman do that!

“Mr. Irwin, what are you saying?”
“Oh, nothing!” Rowan plastered a smile on. “I’m saying that Mr. Zephyr’s quite
nice. You both are lucky to be with each other!”
Cordelia blushed and smiled shyly.
Rowan saw that her hair was not completely dry and quickly took off his hat to
put it on her.
“It’s okay, Mr. Irwin!”
“No!” Rowan was serious. “80% of the human body heat goes out from the
head. You’ve got to protect your little head there, or you’ll get sick!”
