“Hello, Zephyr!” Zephyr knew just from hearing the voice that it was the speed demon.
Zephyr chuckled. “Mom, why are you calling at this hour?”
When considering the time difference, it was supposed to be morning in Ricos. His mother was important in the
company, so it was impossible she was free to call and chat just as she started work.
“Answer mine first! Didn’t you say you have a fake son for me and ask me to capture him alive?
“It’s been days. Where’s the guy?”
Zephyr frowned. By right, Matthew and Yale should have already made their move.
Zephyr hung up and felt a premonition.
He asked seriously, “Robert, what has Uncle Matthew been doing these days?”
“I think he’s been staying by Mr. Liam’s side.”

Before Robert could answer, the upsetting sense in Zephyr grew stronger. He had never felt something like this. It
was like his heart was sliced.
He unconsciously called Cordelia, but no one answered. Zephyr’s face fell, and he decided right away. “Book me a
flight. I’m going back to Jangasas right now!”
“But sir—”
“Do you not understand what I said!?”
Zephyr was restless for some reason. He tugged his tie and felt his heart thumping.

Cordelia was ready to close the cafe in the evening when she heard noises at the door.
She looked out only to see a tall figure stepping into the porch. Delighted and surprised, she cried, “Darling!”
The man froze a little. As he slowly looked up, he did not seem that charming under the golden hour, and there was
a sense of perverseness in his eyes. It was just that this face looked too much like Zephyr’s.
“Honey! Didn’t you say you could only make it back in another week? You’re making a surprise attack again. Are
you trying to surprise me?”
Cordelia ran over like a gleeful bird and threw herself into his arms to hug him tightly. However, the moment she
wrapped her arms around him, an odd feeling suddenly rushed into her.
She paused and let go to look up at him carefully.
What the man wore was not what she had packed for him.
The man’s gaze felt rather foreign, but when he met her eyes, she could clearly see the lust in them… He was
scanning her recklessly, and that desire raised goosebumps.
Chills ran down Cordelia’s spine, and she could not help stepping back.

gotten into him?
Cordelia’s heart drummed. She forced a smile. “Darling, are you tired? Why don’t you rest up? I’ll make something
simple for you.”
Marcus nodded and walked into the cafe.
Cordelia followed and looked out unconsciously. ‘It is strange. Did he not drive back? Where is his luggage?’
She had already changed him out of the habit of wearing black, and he usually wore white and gray… Why was he
back wearing all black again today?
Cordelia’s mind was a mess. There was an inexplicable change in her husband today that uneased her.
“Why are you standing there?” Marcus turned around. “Come in!”
Startled, Cordelia ran over and tried to hook arms with him.
“Darling, did you… catch a cold? Why’s your voice so hoarse?”
