Although Rowan thought that the Hamertons did not deserve Cordelia, proper social etiquette must still be
maintained. At least, the others would have nothing to pick on.
He also thought that, as her father, he should prepare another set of gifts for her if she did not prepare well this
time so they could dazzle the Hamerton patriarch to blindness!
Cordelia had no idea that Rowan had already played a thousand scenarios in his mind. She answered him with a
chortle, “Of course, I didn’t go empty-handed. My mom’s prepared gifts for me!”
Rowan felt his heart clench abruptly, and even breathing hurt.
“Your… mom?”
“Mm.”

Cordelia mentioned a few things, which were all things that girls would bring to a man’s house the first time they
were to visit in Southeast Aciatic.
Rowan felt a pinch in his nose. It seemed that what Xyla had prepared for their daughter would not be inferior.
“Right, there’s one more thing.” Cordelia looked at her. “It’s Ejada. My mom made it herself.”
Rowan felt his eyes getting moist. He had a lot to ask her, but nothing came out of his mouth despite a stretched
moment of silence. He could not even ask, “Is your mom doing well?”
What right did he have to ask? Just like what Janine had said, if Cordelia learned what he had done in the past, she
might not even be calling him Uncle Irwin.
“Uncle Irwin, what’s the matter?”
Rowan snapped back to himself and lowered his head to explain frantically, “Nothing… The wind blew just now, and
my eyes don’t feel well.”
“Ms. Cordelia!” Robert rushed over and greeted Rowan when he saw him. He then looked at Cordelia respectfully.
“Mr. Zephyr asked me to send you home first. Please get in the car.”
“No need!” Rowan perked up all of a sudden. “I’ll send her back!”
“Well…” Robert was troubled. His task would not be accomplished this way still.
“Right, let me ask you.” Rowan frowned. “Where’s Zephyr? Why didn’t he send her!?”
“Mr. Zephyr stayed to take care of some company affairs, so—”
“Brat!” Rowan raised his voice. “The stupid company affairs are more important than his own girlfriend?”
Robert was rendered speechless.

Robert looked at Rowan with a distressed look while Cordelia tried to hold back her laughter.
Rowan suddenly realized that what he said included too many targets, even himself, so he coughed to cover it.
“Uh… I mean…”
The more he explained, the more chaotic it was. He stopped explaining.
“I didn’t mean anything by it!” Rowan raised his voice. “Anyway, I’ll send Cordelia back!”
He pointed at Robert and the chauffeur. “You and you, stay here! Serve your Mr. Zephyr well! Unreliable bunch…”
“Mr. Irwin!” Robert hurried up to stop him. This was Zephyr’s task for him, and it was related to Cordelia. If
something happened, the man would flip over Centrolis.
“Uncle Irwin, you don’t have to send me.” Cordelia smiled. “It’s more convenient for Robert to send me.”
Robert shot her a grateful look. She must have realized his predicament and resolved it for him.
“Yes, yes, it’s more convenient that I send you!” Robert said with a smile, “Ms. Cordelia, please get in. Going back to
Royal Manor?”
“No,” Cordelia said softly. “Please send me to my mom’s house.”
