Both men cried in unison, “No!”
Of course, it was futile. After all, the consequences of making their wives angry were far more serious
than sleeping with another man.
Later at night, when Nicholas carried all the shopping bags back to the hotel listlessly and opened the
door to see the soft bed in the room he had specially chosen… he almost blew up on the spot!
Zephyr was much calmer in comparison. He quietly took off his coat and took a bottle of red wine out of
the cabinet, adding ice and slowly swirling it.
“Zephyr, I don’t care if you want to do it or not. The two of us have to be united!” Nicholas said through
his gritted teeth.
“From tomorrow onward, we will take care of our own woman. We can’t let the two of them stick to
each other anymore, you hear me!?”
Nicholas slumped on the bed in a huff, wanting nothing more than to punch a hole through it.

darkened soon.
‘Southeast Aciatic and the Irwins… Rowan Irwin and the pharmaceutical company…’ These kept
replaying in his mind.
He was clear about the reason Matthew wanted to harm him, but why was Rowan involved in this?
Could the hundreds of millions of dollars of insurance proceeds tempt him?
The Irwins’ influence was no greater than the Hamertons’, but the industry they were in made the most
money—pharmaceuticals and information technology. They did not lack money.
There must be another reason Irwin was doing this!

Cordelia was smiling a lot more after they returned from Mengasas. Zephyr was relieved, but he
received Frederic’s call.
“Z, Elder Mr. Hamerton got his hands on your statement. I think you best make a trip back to Centrolis.”
“Mm, got it.” Zephyr was expecting it. He knew this day would come when he asked Frederic to draft
the statement.
He hung up and looked at Cordelia, who was still cleaning the house, with a smile. The girl would never
stop. Everywhere in the house felt like work for her.
She was currently collecting clothes on the balcony. The drying rack was a little high, and she had to
stand on tiptoe and reach out with her arms. She was only wearing a large T-shirt at home to feel less
warm—it barely covered her bottom.
Zephyr gulped and felt dry in the throat. He went over and effortlessly reached for the piece of clothing
she had been trying.
Cordelia fell into his embrace in surprise. Zephyr wrapped an arm around her waist with quick reflexes,
pressing both of them together. She could feel his temperature rising.
“Darling.” His husky voice was smiling. “Enough chores. Let’s rest early tonight.”
Cordelia looked down with a smile and pink cheeks.

“Wait for me to finish cleaning up? Seth told me that mom’s doing well these days, and she can be
discharged to rest at home.
“I have to hurry and prepare what she needs to send them over.”
Zephyr tried to persuade her, rubbing her hand. “Can’t you do that tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow has tomorrow’s tasks.” Cordelia hurried to check on her new dessert when the oven dinged.
She would prepare the materials she needed the next day every day, and the little cafe was making a
profit now under her hard work.
Zephyr stood rooted and scratched his head, letting out a long sigh. If he had known, he would not
have opened up the cafe for her! Those cakes and cookies now occupied the time that should belong
to him!
“Darling, get me a few plates!”
“Oh, coming.”
Zephyr went to retrieve the plates in the kitchen and leaned against the door to watch her.
