Frederic grinned as well. “Mm, I can attest to this!”
Zephyr coughed. “We’re talking about Josiah here. Why am I pulled into this!?
“Since you’re determined to protect her, you have to find out everything.” He patted Josiah’s shoulder. “A man has
to have the shoulders for responsibilities!”
“Mm, got it, Z!”
“After recovering the data from the yacht, check the location the message was sent from, and plan it out.
Meanwhile, get someone to keep an eye on the Tanners, especially Nelly!”
Zephyr raised his brows with a smirk. “I think you’ll definitely get unexpected results there!”
…
Cordelia went to the hospital with Linda for her pregnancy check, and everything went smoothly.
The baby was almost five months, and Linda had a small bump, looking plump and radiant. The doctor also said
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat she could be a medical example with her excellent indicators.
The two of them sat outside the hospital for some time after the checkup.
The fall meant that it was cool with a gentle sun that toasted them warm. Cordelia took out a small box that
contained sliced apples and fed them to Linda with a fork.
Linda beamed sweetly. This was the special privilege of a pregnant lady. She would be fed and dressed without
moving a hand.
“Sigh, will your husband have anything to say when I’ve occupied you for so long?”
Cordelia giggled.
Linda had asked her to go over for company yesterday and did not let her leave at night. Nicholas had nowhere to
go and followed Zephyr back to Royal Manor after the hot spring.
When they had a video call last night, Nicholas looked carefree with a big T-shirt as he sat cross-legged on the Turks
lamb wool carpet Zephyr had painstakingly chosen, with beer and snacks in front of him as he watched a basketball
match in concentration, while Zephyr looked like he was done with life.
…
“He opened my Romanee Conti that I’ve been keeping for years!
“He ate snacks on the carpet, and his feet smell! Even Ginger’s annoyed!
“He eats too much. Aunt Helen made that soup for me, and he drank it all!
“Cordelia…” Zephyr was at his wit’s end. “When are you coming back?”
Cordelia could not help chuckling. She felt like a teacher listening to her student complain.
…
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Linda. “Zephyr will go crazy if Nicholas stays on a few more days!”
He was a clean freak. It was a clash against Nicholas, who was nonchalant.
“I’m sorry…” Linda was embarrassed. “I can book a hotel and send Nicholas there right away!”
“You’d rather he stays in a hotel than for him to return home?” Cordelia widened her eyes. “What is it this time? I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdidn’t dare ask much since you were in a bad mood yesterday.”
Linda turned miserable at the mention. She put the apples down and looked afar, murmuring after a long time, “I
think he has a mistress!”
Cordelia almost choked on her piece of apple.
“No way!” She smiled. “I absolutely do not believe that Nicholas would cheat! Besides, I saw what he looked like
when I facetimed Zephyr last night. It’s like… you guys were just having a small fight, and he didn’t mind. He’ll
come back after you’re not angry!
“Anyway, it’s not what a guilty person having an affair would look like!”
“But I’m his wife!” Linda looked at her. “A woman’s sixth sense is accurate…”
“You’re pregnant, and your hormones are going wild.” Cordelia held her hand. “Don’t worry about it. Nicholas has
been treating you as the apple of his eye since we were in school. How would he dare be reckless outside?”
“Cordelia, you have no idea…” Linda sighed. “He’s the boss of an entertainment company now, and so many
female celebrities are throwing themselves at him.
“There’s this influencer. I think she used to be a popular celebrity too. She doesn’t give a f*ck, entering his office in
tight, low-cut clothes in broad daylight!”
Linda’s eyes were rimmed red. “How could I not get mad?”
