Rowan had been staring through the car window the whole morning.
When Cordelia went to work in the morning, he saw her hasty figure. When she came downstairs to buy coffee
around 10:00 a.m., he got to see a glimpse of her again.
Until now, though, she had yet to leave the building.
Rowan was a little disappointed but reluctant to leave, drumming his fingers on his knee.
“Mr. Irwin, are we waiting?”
Rowan’s subordinate, Charlie Williams, who had served him for many years, understood what he was thinking
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcurrently. The feeling of wanting to get close to someone but daring not to was the most tormenting.
Charlie sighed. “Mr. Irwin, why aren’t you reuniting with them? It’s been so many years, and you’ve never forgotten
them…”
“Say no more.” Rowan’s tone was solemn.
How could he forget them so easily? Other than Xyla, he had never loved anyone else his whole life—and Cordelia
was their precious daughter.
When he was younger, he had imagined countless times how he would pamper and dote on his daughter until she

Rowan’s eyes burned, and his heart clenched in pain.
“Then…” Charlie asked again, “When do we send the medicine to Mr. Zephyr Hamerton?”
Rowan contemplated and answered airily, “Not in a hurry.”
“Huh?” Charlie was surprised. “But the previous dosage is already coming to its limit…”
“Let it be. Not like it’ll kill him!” Rowan glared at Charlie. “Why do you have so much to say today!?”
Charlie was rendered speechless.
“I have to see how this Zephyr Hamerton’s treating our Cordelia and decide if I’ll treat him, right?”
Charlie was stunned and winced. What happened to caring for the infirm and saving the dying? What happened to
the benevolence of a doctor? Once it was his son-in-law, it was observe-and-wait.
“Mr. Irwin, if Mr. Zephyr mistreats our Cordelia, then…”

Charlie held back his laugh.
“He won’t, he won’t.” Charlie said, “I saw him being very protective of Cordelia in the auction!”
Rowan heaved a long sigh and said after a long time, “It’s no use that he’s the only one nice to Cordelia. She’ll
suffer grievances marrying into a family like the Hamertons without any support!”
“Mr. Irwin, you’re her support!”
Rowan looked sullen.
He had made the promise not to disturb their lives… He really should not show himself again. Yet, he really wished
to hear Cordelia call him dad. His daughter was so pretty, and her voice must sound nice too.
