Liam paused and looked at Matthew coldly.
“Why? Do you think I’ll watch Yale drag the whole Hamertons down and do nothing?”
Matthew was baffled.
“Compared to stealing, justice over family is far nobler!”
With that, Liam shook Matthew off and left.
Before Matthew could react, his mind blanked as he watched his father leave quickly.

After a plunge in temperature, Centrolis got to welcome a rare, nice winter day.
The mist cleared, and the sky recovered its blue. An unanticipated light drizzle of snow covered the city in a dust of
beautiful silver. The air smelled fresh and crisp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia swept the snow in the yard and made cute snowmen from it.
When she was done, Zephyr hugged her from the back and wrapped her icy, red hands in his to warm them up.
“What do you think? Pretty, aren’t they?” Cordelia was triumphant.
“Of course.” Zephyr smiled gently.
It felt great now. The storm was over, the sky was azure blue, the winter sun was warm, and he and Cordelia were
making snowmen. Peace and joy seemed to have come knocking on their door.
“Hmm… if only Ginger were here.” Cordelia sighed. “It’d be like this snowman too. And its orange fur must look so
pretty in the snow!”
“Huh?” Zephyr arched his brow.
They were spending quality alone time, and she was thinking about a cat? It seemed that sending Ginger to Xyla’s
was not enough—it had to go further… like Robert. This way, the two of them would be restricted by each other and
would not appear before him again!
Zephyr cackled as he fantasized about it.
“Darling, what are you thinking about?”
Cordelia tilted a curious head at him, seeing how he was silent for so long.
Zephyr snapped back to reality and replied in passing, “Oh, I… I’m missing Ginger too.”
“Really?” Cordelia’s eyes lit up. “Let’s get it back, okay?”
“No!” Zephyr blurted.
Cordelia looked surprised.
“Honey, I mean…” Zephyr deployed all of his brain cells. “Dad and mom have finally reunited now, and Ginger’s…
Ginger’s quite bothersome getting between them, right?”
“Didn’t hear about it,” Cordelia answered seriously. “My mom likes it a lot. Dad too. He brought the Siamese over,

Zephyr held Cordelia’s face and rubbed it gently with a tender and doting gaze.
With the ill feeling erased, the girl was finally willing to call Rowan dad.
He could still remember what Rowan looked like when he heard it. It was like the sky had hit him. His brows were
raised high, his eyes bulged, and even his ears twitched.
The more powerful a man was outside, the more useless he was back home. Zephyr thought about it. It was
unbelievable how this rule applied to everyone around him.
As for Cordelia changing her name back to “Cordelia Irwin”, it was completed swiftly. It was just that she was
already used to the name that had accompanied her for over 20 years, and others either addressed her by Mrs.
Hamerton or just Cordelia usually, so the last name did not seem to matter that much—as long as it said “Irwin” on
her ID.
“Oh yeah, darling,” Zephyr said with a chuckle. “Grandpa’s hosting a family dinner this weekend and asked us to go
together.”
