Did William really not know about this, though? Then why did Joanne occasionally blurt insults like
“b*stard” when she scolded her in the past? Come to think of it, Joanne might have used that insult in
the heat of the moment, but because it was something based on the truth…
Were she and Carter really kids with an unknown father?
Cordelia’s thoughts were scattered. It felt like there were straws in her throat, making it hard to breathe.
Zephyr crouched down in front of her and softly combed his hand through her hair with a tender gaze.
He said with a soft voice, “Darling, let’s go home.”
“I—”
“Shh, I understand. I know that you’re not in a good mood now, and we can’t get to the bottom of some
things right off the bat.
“We take things slow, honey. I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens. Don’t worry, okay?”
Cordelia met his eyes and felt like crying.
Zephyr kept a tight hold on her hand as they went home, giving her a sufficient sense of security.
When they got home, Cordelia saw the strewn childcare magazines on the coffee table. The laptop was
not turned off, and the site on display was a maternity and childcare forum as well.
This was information Zephyr read up on through the night. Not only had he read them, but he had also

fathers should take care of their children, how to prevent postpartum depression for one’s wife…

There were already things piled up in their bedroom—blankets for the baby and radiation-proof clothes
for pregnant women.
Cordelia felt a pinch on her nose, and she could not help the tears that flooded her eyes. She kept her
head low in silence.
Zephyr hugged her gently and let her express her emotions.
“Darling,” she said softly after a long time. “We really shouldn’t have celebrated so soon. I should have
told you after I made sure of it. Now you got happy for nothing…”
“What’s wrong?” Zephyr smiled. “We can use these in the future.”
“But Seth says that I’m weak in health. It doesn’t affect getting pregnant, but the chances are lower
than the average person.”
Zephyr looked at her seriously. “Cordelia, it’s not that important to me whether we have a child or not.”
Cordelia was stunned. The man’s deep voice was affectionate and indulging.
“If you like kids, we make them. If you don’t want to, it’s fine to spend the rest of our lives with just the
two of us.”
“But…” Did all men not wish for women to give them children?
“If you feel pressured because of this, you don’t have to,” Zephyr said with a chuckle. “My family’s got
no throne to pass down.”
Cordelia got amused and snuggled him, indulging herself with his tenderness.
“Having kids or not depends on you.” Zephyr’s heated breaths hit her ear. “If you want one, I’ll do my
best!”

Cordelia felt his rising temperature. Even the room’s air began to feel hot.
Zephyr pinned her to the bed. With a smirk, his gaze turned tender.
Previously, they had assumed that she was pregnant, and he had read online that the first three
months were the most unstable, so they must not do it… Now that he finally had the chance…
Zephyr smirked and pulled the sheets open to wrap both of them inside.
…
The weather was growing chilly. The end of summer and the beginning of fall painted the sky blue as
clouds drifted far away like big balls of cotton candy.
Cordelia added a few tables outside and paired them with shades the same color as the irises. It was a
refreshing sight.
There were few customers this morning, and Cordelia stayed behind the counter to brew coffee quietly.
She suddenly heard a sweet “Cordelia!” from the outside.
She went out and saw Zennie dashing in like a little bird under the sun. There seemed to be someone
else behind her.
