Ava’s face was flushing and turning pale. She stood aside, looking terrible.
With a look from Zephyr, the maids around moved the food from the table to the trash can.
“I heard at the door that you only bought her breakfast because you didn’t know what gift to get when you’re
meeting her the first time?” His eyes were cold as he looked at Ava.
Ava quickly nodded without knowing what he really meant.
“You brought those things the first time you visit?” He scoffed. “Didn’t your parents teach you etiquette when you
visit someone?”
She was shocked. “Cousin—”
“Although you’re uncle’s stepdaughter, you grew up in the Bakers.” Zephyr glanced at her expressionlessly. “Go
home to ask your parents what to do in situations like this.
“You’re meeting me and my wife this time. Don’t embarrass yourself again when you visit someone else in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfuture. Don’t humiliate our family!”
Ava’s shoulders were shaking as she clenched the side of her clothes with one hand.
Zephyr ordered coldly, “Send the visitor away.”
A male butler and a housekeeper in high-end suits walked forward with a smile. They nodded courteously to get Ava
to leave.
Ava took a deep breath. The moment she turned around, she saw Zephyr pouring porridge into a bowl carefully
and feeding Cordelia from the corner of her eye.
Cordelia’s blushed face was filled with joy.
Ava bit her lip while clenching her fists. She ran out of the villa without turning her head.
It was 9:00 a.m. when Cordelia was done eating.
“Aren’t you leaving?” she asked while looking at Zephyr. “Don’t you have to work today?”
He smiled. He could never finish his work. Being with her was more important to him.
“My mom is there. There’s nothing much that I can help with.”
“Go soon. Don’t exhaust your mom!” Cordelia tidied his tie thoroughly and grabbed his suit.
The locals here were taller with distinct features.
Nevertheless, among the locals, her husband was not shabby at all. He was even more outstanding than them.
Cordelia’s eyes were filled with admiration.
“Wifey, it’s actually useless for me to go today.” Zephyr held her shoulder and chuckled. “The meeting today is with
the seniors and founding members. I don’t usually go to meetings like this.”
“Oh…” She nodded. “Seniors? So, your uncle is there too?”
“Yes.”
Cordelia was hesitant.
Zephyr knew what she was thinking and said softly. “Do you think my uncle is rather odd in the family?”
Cordelia was stunned and smiled shyly.

In reality, she had noticed that at the family dinner and had many questions.
For instance, there was something strange about the way Noah spoke. It was shockingly direct sometimes.
Another example would be him criticizing Janine and Zephyr behind their back and respecting them on the surface.
However, it was obviously an act, and it was a very stiff act. It felt like someone ordered him to do that.
Another thing was that the Bakers would usually marry someone from another prestigious family. Noah was the
only one who had married a divorced woman with a child. Not only that but his wife, Hannah Johnson, was also born
poor. She had even had to survive on relief funds for some time.
Meanwhile, Janine, who was usually hot-tempered, seemed to be very patient with her brother.
Zephyr looked at Cordelia while explaining everything to her.
“I heard from my mom that he used to learn horsemanship with her when they were young. The horse that she
was riding suddenly started running. My uncle went chasing after it and stopped the horse. She was saved, but he
fell from the horse… He became… wonky since that fall.”
“Wonky?”
“Mm-hmm…” Zephyr licked his lips, “His head isn’t very good now.”
