Zephyr also replied, mouthing, “You’re asking for a beating!”
Zennie giggled happily and chomped down on the cranberry cookies, dropping the crumbs everywhere.
Cordelia had gone to the front to water the plants, so Zephyr approached his sister with a scowl.
“Clean up after yourself!”
Zennie jumped due to the sudden voice. She gobbled whatever she had in her mouth down. Even
though she was reluctant, she obediently took the broom from her brother and ultimately cleaned up
the place, caving into his authority.
“Bro, you’re doing great now, huh?” She teased him while she worked. “The greatest husband alive,
ain’t it?”
Zephyr just glared at her.
Zennie grinned and packed the remaining cookies into a bag after she was done cleaning.

Zennie was startled, quietly tightening her hand and holding the bag.
‘Damn, I was still seen through.’ She wondered how her brother got a pair of bright X-ray vision eyes.
She could never hide anything from him.
“I…”
Zennie wracked her mind for a lie, but Zephyr interrupted her directly. “You’re definitely not eating them
yourself!”
She froze and finally admitted with a grimace, coming clean. “I’m giving some to Phil.”
Phil Nelson? Why was it him again?
Zephyr’s gaze was a little icy with a wash of doubt.
The last time Zennie visited him in the hospital, she said that Phil accompanied her to Jangasas. He
did not even remember the Hamertons having such a person. He later thought carefully and recalled
that it seemed to start with Phil’s grandfather working long-term with them. They were usually
responsible for cleaning and would not appear before him. How did this fellow leave an impression on
Zennie?
Zephyr stayed aloof and asked, “He hasn’t returned yet?”
“Of course not! How could he be at peace knowing I’m alone in Jangasas!?”
“He’d be worried about you?”
“Hmm… yeah!” Zennie looked flustered. “He’s here to… protect me.”
“You have to take people with you when you go out, but of all the bodyguards we have, you’re taking a
gardener?”
“Bro!”
“Zennie!” Zephyr looked stern. “Know your place and keep yourself away from Phil Nelson!”
“Why!?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You’ll just make things hard for yourself!” he said surely. “That guy isn’t worthy of you. Stay away while
you can!”
“You mean he has a low background?” Zennie huffed. “Then what about you and Cordelia? You’re
already hiding your identity and becoming a model husband in Jangasas, and you’re nagging me—”
“I’m different from you!” Zephyr raged, growling with a suppressed tone.
The girl was rubbing salt into his wound with every word she said, bringing up whatever he did not want
to hear. She was really here for trouble!
“Zennie Hamerton, consider this a warning. You’re only 18 years old! You should be studying instead of
dating. Break it off with that guy! Or I’ll take care of Phil the moment I return to Centrolis!”
“You…” Zennie could barely take a scare. Her eyes went red from being growled at. She felt wronged
but dared not throw a tantrum, pouting. “You wouldn’t dare! If you touch him, I’ll tell Cordelia who you
are right now!”
