Zephyr fell into deep thought, connecting the dots. There were many suspicious clues to follow.
When they were in Jangasas, Marcus attempted to hurt Cordelia. However, before he got to do that, Zephyr arrived
in time.
Marcus had escaped, and the person who had helped him was Phil…
Zephyr clenched his fists so hard that his joints paled.
Marcus, Phil, and Yale were colluding together!
“I’m thinking about that too.” He looked at Cordelia. “If this isn’t a hint, it’s too strange for him to keep sending the
message.”
“Zennie is scared, and she begged that I don’t tell you.”
“But you told me anyway.” He chuckled.
Cordelia pursed her lips and said, “Didn’t we promise that we can’t have secrets?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hmm…” Zephyr pinched her nose. “But you told me a little too late!”
“Sorry.” Cordelia felt a little guilty. “I thought it was a mistake that I got the message the first time, so I didn’t care.
The second time… I happened to be busy and forgot about it.
“I should have told you this earlier, hubby, so that you’d be alerted. I was reckless.”
Zephyr patted her head. How would he bear to blame her?
He pulled her into his embrace. He smelled her fragrance, and it went straight to his heart.
He licked his lips. As he was bringing her to the room, the doorbell rang.
He instinctively thought it was Robert!
He went to open the door in a rage. As the door was opened, he saw Uncle Clark standing out there, looking
worried.
“Sir!” His eyes widened as he looked at Zephyr. “Y-You’ve been home, right?”
Zephyr frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Cordelia walked out as she heard him. “Come in, Uncle Clark! Zen has been staying with me. Is there anything?”
“I know it definitely wasn’t you!” Uncle Clark’s frown relieved a little bit. “Sir, you haven’t been spending time at a
nightclub lately, right?”
“What’s with you, Uncle Clark?” Zephyr was not sure whether to laugh or cry. “My cousin frequents such places.
You’ve paid for him many times!”
“That’s right, I knew it wasn’t you!” Uncle Clark sighed and looked doubtful again. “But the Night Palace’s boss
called me, saying that you were drinking there an hour ago. You left without paying, and you even hired a few…”
He hesitated and peeped at Cordelia.
“Who did he hire?” Cordelia reacted quickly. She could not help but chuckle.
Uncle Clark looked awkward. “Ma’am, don’t misunderstand him! It’s impossible that he did that!”
“Of course not.” Her eyes were soft as she enunciated. “Don’t worry, Uncle Clark. Go home, but don’t let anyone
know about this, especially the old man.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, I know what to do.” Uncle Clark nodded. “But isn’t this strange? How would there be someone who looks like
him…”
“Stop overthinking.” Cordelia and Zephyr knew what was up now.
“Ma’am, I’m afraid we can’t hide this from the old man for long…”
“Just keep it a secret as long as you can.” She chuckled. “I’ll explain to him myself. By then, we might need his
help!”
Although Uncle Clark had no idea what was happening, he had a clue after hearing what Cordelia said.
After sending him off, Zephyr held Cordelia’s hands.
They stood across from each other.
There was a gentle smile on his face. “Wifey, I’m sure you have a solution already?”
Meanwhile, she pouted on purpose while tidying up his shirt.
“What solution can I have? My husband had fun at a nightclub in a fanfare. As his wife, can I stop him?”
“Hey!”
Cordelia laughed out loud. Her cheeks blushed, and her tiny lips became seductive.
