It went quiet all of a sudden.
Cordelia’s eyes were cast down as she held her hands together and remained silent.
Janine and Xyla exchanged a look and smiled, leaving tactfully. The young couple needed some private space right
now.
“Robert, take us around somewhere else,” instructed Janine.
Robert caught what she meant instantly and went to start the car. Only the ever-jolly Josiah stood rooted dumbly
and stared at the two of them.
He grinned. “Z, sis-in-law, you don’t have to bring anything. I’ve set the place up for you. You can pack your bag
and check in anytime!”
Cordelia looked up and met Zephyr’s deep gaze.
Zephyr grew a little nervous. “Cordelia, I won’t force you if you’re reluctant.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia could not help chuckling inwardly. “I won’t force you”… Ever since she learned about his real identity,
these four words seemed to have grown in his mouth!
She wondered if he knew that she sometimes quite wished that he would “force” her a little…
Sometimes, she thought of the old times when he was glued to her. He would not say polite things like “I won’t
force you”. Her occasional fightback would cause him to pin her down with one big hand while his other hand got
rid of whatever she wore…
People said that the body would give the most honest answer to whether one loved someone or not.
Cordelia’s heart skipped a beat. Her expression looked unnatural as her cheeks burned.
Zephyr could not guess what she was thinking and thought that this was her rejection, so he could not help feeling
disappointed.
It seemed like this was a failure again.
“It’s fine.” He squeezed her hand and reluctantly said, “I’ll wait for you.”
Until when did he have to wait?
Zephyr winced. Cordelia caught the flash of dejection on his face.
She smiled cheekily, her eyes bright like stars, as she asked softly, “Wait for me do what?”
“Wait for you to say yes,” he answered.
“Did I say no?”
Zephyr stared at her.
What did she mean? Did she want him to “force” her?
Cordelia’s blush became more intense, and she whined, “Never mind if you don’t understand it!”
Josiah patted his shoulder. “Hey, Z, what riddle are you two on?”
Zephyr was confused.
“It’s just staying together! Do you have to guess here and there? Since when did you two need so much effort to
talk!?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRealization struck Zephyr. It felt like a jackpot hit him… but he still warily checked Cordelia’s expression. Calming
down his thumping heart, he asked her, “Really?”
Cordelia smiled and held his face to look at him.
For someone who was so decisive and authoritative to the outsiders, he acted like a child walking on thin ice in front
of her, afraid to upset her.
She suddenly felt a pinch in her heart, and happiness brimmed within her.
“Mm, really.” She nodded and said softly, “I’ve already married you once. You’re my husband to me. Staying
together with my husband is only a matter of course!”
“Cordelia, I—”
Zephyr was speechless. He had yet to give her a proper wedding or announce to the world that she was his beloved
wife.
Yet, it felt like she knew what he thought and smiled softly. “I know that as long as I nod, you’ll marry me no matter
what.
“But it isn’t time yet.”
