“Centrolis is a big place. There’ll be somewhere for her.” Liam held his dragon-headed cane. “Find her
somewhere and settle her down. After you get married, you can still visit her a few times a month.
“As long as she stays in her own lane and doesn’t cause problems, keep her around!”
Zephyr was stunned before he snickered. “You want to make her my lover?”
“A woman like her should be grateful that she’s even a lover!”
Zephyr jolted.
“Impossible!” His voice was sharp. “I’ll never let her suffer such grievances!”
“Then what do you want to do? Marry her?” Liam asked harshly, “I think you’ve lost your mind!”
He panted and turned to look out the window with a hand over her heart.
“Zephyr, break up with her! Even if you don’t want to marry Nelly, you can pick one from the other three
major families!”
“I said I don’t want anyone else in this lifetime other than Cordelia!”
“You don’t want anyone else aside from her?” Liam raised his voice and turned back to glare at him.

Zephyr’s ears buzzed, and he could not help stepping back.
Liam pressed closer. “Zephyr, you’re the heir I personally cultivated. No matter what you do, you can
only do it with the Hamertons in consideration!
“And my duty is to clear all the obstacles for you… including women!”
Zephyr’s throat tightened, and his gaze grew darker. He gripped his fists and loosened them. The air
felt frozen again.
His silence gradually put an appeased expression on Liam. The old man was going to pat his shoulder,
but he avoided it abruptly.
Zephyr looked up at him. His icy and sharp gaze was like a beast moving in the night.
“Grandpa.” His words were clear. “If you make her disappear, I promise, you’ll also lose the heir you
personally raised!”
“You…”
Liam was shocked. His lips moved, but nothing came out of his mouth.
Zephyr left with a large stride.
When he went out, the butler and servants were panicking.
Robert caught up to him hurriedly and swallowed back his question when he saw Zephyr’s steely
expression.
“Sir, we—”
“Go back to Zen Residence!”
Robert went to get the car prepared at once.
Light footsteps were heard from the end of the hallway.
“Zephyr, you’re back…”
Zephyr looked at the woman coldly. She turned slightly and stood on the side, looking rather anxious.
He nodded as a greeting and was going to move forward when Nelly tugged him.
“Zephyr…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZephyr flicked his arm and kept a distance away from her.
“You’re here to visit grandpa?”
Nelly answered softly, “Visiting grandpa but mainly to visit you.”
Zephyr was indifferent. His emotions could not be read from his deep eyes.
“I know about your plane crash, and I was so shocked.” Nelly slowly inched closer. “Zephyr, are you all
healed now? You haven’t been back for a long time. Are you back… for good this time?”
Zephyr only found it frustrating. The closer she came, the more he wanted to avoid her.
He could not understand why the woman had such foul-smelling perfume on her. Cordelia never used
perfume, and there was a clean and sweet fragrance on her that he could not get enough of.
“Zephyr, it’s still early. Why don’t you come to visit us? I have something to talk to you about in private
as well.”
“It’s not early now,” replied Zephyr. “I just got to Centrolis today and would like to rest earlier. If you
don’t have a chauffeur with you, I’ll get the butler to send you later.”
His attitude that screamed rejection was more than obvious, but Nelly was reluctant to accept it.
“If I want to talk to you about our marriage, don’t you want to hear it too?”
