“Nothing.” He shook his head. “Go in.”
Cordelia nodded and was going to walk away when she caught Alexander’s gaze toward her house. It was like he
was looking for something…
She suddenly had an odd feeling.
Alexander was nice to her and protected her where he could, but her sixth sense as a woman told her it was not
romantic.
Linda treated her like that, Trinity treated her like that, Zennie treated her like that, and Aurelia treated her like
that… but Alexander was a man!
Cordelia’s heart dropped. She sneaked a glimpse at Alexander and forced a smile before she hurried home.
Once she entered, she saw Zephyr serving dinner from the kitchen. When he saw her, he was still wearing an apron

Cordelia was astonished, looking at the table of dishes.
“You made all these?”
There was grilled steak, stuffed mushrooms, fried shrimp, baked potatoes… Zephyr even brought over two plates
and plated steaming omelets that looked drool-worthy.
Cordelia had spent the whole afternoon with the queen, which meant she had been acting as a poised lady the
whole afternoon. She dared not relax, afraid that she would break etiquette, and did not even have any cake.
Looking at the dishes on the table, she was suddenly famished, and her eyes sparkled.
“Honey, you’re amazing!”
She clung to Zephyr like an octopus and pressed a loud smooch on his cheek.
Zephyr enjoyed it a lot, smiling and gesturing for the butler behind him to throw the takeout containers hidden
behind the kitchen door when he left. The butler held back his laugh and did as he was told.
Zephyr had spent the whole afternoon only learning the nanny’s omelet but still managed to blow up the kitchen.
“Alright.” He stroked Cordelia’s head affectionately. “Zuko’s asleep now. Eat up!”
Cordelia whined coyly. “I want my husband to eat with me.”
“Mm, I’ll keep you company and feed you!”
Cordelia giggled, her dimples brimming with bliss.
The husband and wife feasted at the table. Cordelia ate as she commented, “Mm, these dishes are delicious. This
omelet, though, kind of failed!”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
“But it’s fine! The other dishes you made are so tasty! Like a chef!”
Zephyr chuckled awkwardly.

“I’m married into your family in Southeast Aciatic anyway. Of course, I have to keep my heiress happy!” Zephyr
said and put more food on her plate.
Cordelia ate in bliss.
However, once she was fed, she began to think about other things—like Alexander’s gaze at their house when he
sent her back…
She looked at Zephyr quietly and wiped her mouth.
As soon as Zephyr saw her acting like this, he knew that he had trick questions waiting for him, and he straightened
up.
Cordelia asked softly, “Darling, say… Why is Alexander so nice to us?”
Zephyr paused.
Although Cordelia emphasized “us”, he could only hear “nice”.
“Oh?” The man blinked with a scowl. “He’s nice to you?”
