“Z!” Josiah called out. “Now that you guys have the certificate, should we celebrate with a feast?”
Zephyr snapped back to his senses. He nodded. “We should.”
“I’ll book the hotel!” Josiah took out his phone immediately and looked at Cordelia. “What would you like to eat?”
They were chipping in ideas, so it was a lively discussion.
Zephyr looked calm as he looked at the door quietly.
That person seemed to have left.
“What are you looking at?” Cordelia held his arm.
He chuckled and kissed her hair as he whispered, “Wait for me in the car. I’m going to make a call.”
She was stunned. She then realized that someone seemed not to have shown up today.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was between them. Even if they had a conflict, they should be solving it themselves.
She smiled and gave him a gentle look. She then led the others to the car park.
After they left, Zephyr sat in the hall alone. A moment later, someone slowly walked in.
“Z…”
Zephyr lifted his eyes to look at him.
Fredric looked guilty. He smiled awkwardly and soon held his head down.
“Congratulations on your marriage with Cordelia.” He placed his gift. “This is a little something. I hope you like it.”
Zephyr remained still for a while.
Fredric stood there, finding himself in a pickle. He was well aware of Z’s ability not to show his emotions. He could
never see what he was feeling on his face.
However, he knew that he was raging.
He took a deep breath and observed him quietly. After a long time, Zephyr finally lifted his head to look at him. The
coldness in his black eyes seemed to be gone.
“Z,” Fredric said in all seriousness. “I’m sorry about that day.”
Zephyr stood up and smirked. He then patted his shoulder.
Fredric had always been arrogant. It was hard to get an apology from him.
“Forget it. I never took it to heart,” Zephyr said in his deep voice. “I’m happy that you came today. Let’s eat
together.”
The former declined. “No, I need to meet some people. This case is quite urgent.”
“Don’t tell me you’re going to avoid Trinity for the rest of your life?”

Zephyr chuckled when he saw that he was being honest. “I thought you would not forgive Trinity because of
Michelle.”
“You think I’m that petty!” Fredric smiled. “Trinity is a nice person, as well as an outstanding director. Michelle is
lucky to be in her movie!”
“Hmm, it’s great that you think that.”
However, he knew that Fredric was merely saying that. He still pitied her.
As expected, Fredric asked carefully, “Z, c-can you really not accept her?”
Zephyr paused and raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean?”
“I…” Fredric licked his lips. “I really hope that Michelle can join us.”
He looked at him and scoffed.
Michelle? What made her worthy?
The fact that she refused to let Cordelia into the banquet and boasted that she would be the Hamertons’ future
madam alone made it impossible for Zephyr to stay in contact with her!
