Zephyr smiled and stroked it gently.
“Son, can you help me?”
The baby moved again.
“Tell mommy for me…” Zephyr’s voice was deep. “No matter what she looks like, she’s always the prettiest to me. I
love her forever.”
Cordelia turned, and Zephyr froze with bated breath. He pulled the blanket over her carefully and returned to his
side of the bed.
The next day, Zephyr called his mother-in-law for help.
“Mom, Cordelia hasn’t been in a good mood recently.”
Xyla understood instantly that this was the pregnancy mood swings.
“She doesn’t let me near her these days and changes with her back against me,” Zephyr said softly. “She doesn’t
even let me bathe her now…

“Say no more!” Xyla booked a flight to Chaiseland that day itself.
When Cordelia woke up from her afternoon nap, she caught a faint, familiar scent of calendula amidst her
grogginess.
“Mom?” She sat up and exclaimed in delighted surprise when she saw that it was really Xyla, “Mom, how did you
get here!?”
“Silly child, of course, I’m here to see you!” Xyla hugged her and ran a soothing hand down her back.
She saw that her daughter’s stomach had gotten bigger, and her eyes reddened with mixed feelings as she recalled
back when she was pregnant.
“Mom…” Cordelia was taken aback when she felt the hot tears at the corners of her mother’s eyes. “Why are you
crying!?”
“I’m just a little emotional. Can’t help it.” Xyla smiled and looked at her daughter. “You were a baby in my womb
back then too. And you’re going to be a mother now in the blink of an eye.”
Cordelia chuckled, finding the continuation of life unbelievable as well.
The mother and daughter had a lot of things to talk about in private, so the domestic staff excused themselves and
gave them sufficient space.
Xyla looked at Cordelia and slowly pulled her shirt up.

“Mom?”
Cordelia was startled when she saw the stretch marks on her mother’s stomach. She had always thought that she
had taken good care of her mother back then but come to think of it, she had never noticed that her mother had
stretch marks too.
“These are from having you and Carter.” Xyla was calm.
Feeling like something hit her heart, Cordelia subconsciously rubbed her belly.
“Everyone’s body is different. Some people might not have stretch marks from being pregnant but some people

Xyla dropped her shirt and held Cordelia’s hands. “Cordelia, this is normal. You really don’t have to distance yourself
from Zephyr over this.”
Cordelia bit her lips and looked down in silence.
“He’s so anxious from you ignoring him for days!” Xyla said with a chuckle, “And you asked to sleep in different
rooms. Do you know how badly he was scared?”
Cordelia paused, and a giggle escaped her.
Would it be hilarious if others found out that Mr. Z Hamerton was badly frightened because his wife wanted to sleep
separately from him?
Cordelia said softly after a moment of silence, “Mom, I wasn’t purposely distancing myself from him. It’s just that
having these stretch marks… I feel inferior in front of him.
“I feel that I’m no longer perfect and I’m not worthy of him…”
Xyla looked at her daughter lovingly and took her into her arms.
“Silly girl,” she said softly. “There’s never such a thing as perfect.”
