“Darling, what are you saying?” Zephyr’s tone was exasperated.
“I was just saying that someone in my hometown also has a close friend of the same sex. True love knows no
gender, right?” Cordelia’s face turned red with laughter as she covered her mouth.
Nicholas erupted with thunderous laughter. “Hahaha!”
Startled by his sudden outburst, Linda raised her hand to hit him.
Zephyr rolled his eyes and shot him a disdainful look before noticing Cordelia’s triumphant expression.
As his hand reached her waist, it transformed into a gentle embrace, and he wore a pleasing smile on his face.
“Darling, can we stop talking about this?”
“I’m not angry. I was just teasing you.” Cordelia stroked his face.

“Yeah,” Linda agreed. “If we hadn’t brought up Lenny and Pammy, we wouldn’t be discussing this… But, Cordelia,
do you really think that Lenny has those kinds of feelings for Pammy?”
“I can’t say for sure.” Cordelia pondered for a moment. “I hope not.”
“Actually, she’s a really good kid.” Linda sighed lightly, “When I saw her standing next to Chris in that dress, they

One day, he went to the Thompson Group and walked confidently to Lina’s office. The secretary understood and

Lina looked up and saw Zuko’s wide grin, finding it hard to associate him with the ruthless and authoritative Mr.
Hamerton from the Hamerton Group.
She recalled a time when they had a video call, and Zuko playfully said he wanted to shower with her but ended up
making a fool of himself with some funny poses.
Chuckling, Lina pinched his face playfully as she stood up.
Zuko was tempted and wrapped his arm around her waist, desiring a passionate moment with her in the office.
However, he decided to wait until after the wedding. Their first time had to be special, in their dreamy bridal
chamber, on that soft, large bed…
Unaware of Zuko’s thoughts, Lina innocently asked, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you look dazed?”
