The next day, Cordelia dragged a sore and hurting body to work.
Janine gave her numerous tasks again without noticing anything wrong with her. Cordelia was embarrassed to tell
her things like this as well, so she could only withstand the fatigue and work.
While she worked, she secretly lamented that she must not allow the man to do as he pleased in the future just
because of a few touching words from him!
Someone suddenly knocked on her desk, and a loud voice followed. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”
Cordelia looked up to see Janine standing before her.
Her desk was right outside Janine’s office, so Janine could summon her easily anytime.
“Oh, no.” Cordelia shook her head awkwardly.
Janine squinted with a smile and lowered her voice to ask, “Is it because… you were too worn out from last night?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia was startled and flushed red in the face like it could drip blood. She sprang up. “Madam Baker, you—”
“Don’t worry. It’s fine. What’s there to be shy about with me?” Janine giggled. “You know what? Take half the day off
and go back to rest—”
“No!” Cordelia interrupted quickly.
Zephyr would definitely mess with her again if she took half the day off and went home. Thinking of this, she
suddenly shuddered. It seemed like the man was home every time Janine gave her a break.
What could Zephyr do at home? ‘Ask for allowance’ from her, of course!
Cordelia looked at Janine’s sly smile once more, and realization struck her. She was his birth mother, after all!
“You should, you should!” Janine pulled her up directly, her eyes turning into crescents. “Your health comes first!
When you get enough rest, I’ll get a grandchild sooner…
“Oh, no, no! I mean… You’ll be able to contribute more to the company!”
‘Look at me! I accidentally blurted my honest thoughts again!’
Cordelia smiled weakly and saw Janine pull out her phone.
“Hello, son?
“What? You’re not home? Oh… auction?
“Hmm, sure!” Janine nodded. “I’ll send Cordelia over to you!”
While Cordelia was still in a daze, Janine had already pushed her out of the office and had her personal chauffeur
bring her down.
…
The auction was grand and attracted famous people and collectors from all over the world.
Zephyr had not wanted to show himself, but the Hamertons were the co-organizers, so he had to be there.
Naturally, he was annoyed. However, when he received his mother’s call saying that she would send Cordelia over,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma hint of a smile resurfaced on his icy face.
As expected of his actual mother—she would create any chance possible for her son and daughter-in-law to spend
quality time together.
Therefore, he must not let his mother down. He must marry Cordelia this year itself!
Oh wait! He would marry into her family instead. It would be best if she had a little something in her womb when
they got married…
Oh, no, not right. The little one in his dream was so fierce for nothing. No way he would want that!
Robert took in how Zephyr looked gloomy and bright interchangeably and suddenly remembered Josiah’s question:
“What do lunatics look like?”
Right about this…
Robert sighed. It was at the same time Cordelia came over as if with all the lights in the world shining on her.
Zephyr beamed and held her hand. The two of them standing together attracted plenty of attention.
“What do you want later?” he asked in a low voice. “I’ll bid it.”
“No need.” Cordelia stretched slightly and said with a smile, “I just hope that this ends fast. I want to go home and
have a good sleep.”
