It was more than common for men from wealthy and influential families like this to have a lover and a few
illegitimate children.
Darn it! If Rowan did have children, how was she supposed to introduce him to her mother!?
Cordelia deflated a little and ate the sashimi gloomily.
Meanwhile, Zephyr did not look quite good. He asked Kelly in a serious tone, “Are you sure his daughter said it?”
“No.” Kelly shrugged. “I only remember him saying that he only treated me because of what his girl said. I wouldn’t
know who that is in particular!”
Zephyr’s heart drummed as he stared at Cordelia in a daze. He suddenly remembered that Cordelia had brought
him to an art gallery previously, and one of the paintings there, The Fireflies’ Light, was hung where it was the most
obvious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia had told him proudly that it was her mother’s piece. Zephyr had then noticed that the painting was signed
off with Xyla.
“Your mother’s name is Xyla?” That was his first time knowing his mother-in-law’s name despite spending so long
with her.
“Yeah!” Cordelia answered with a smile, “Xyla Irwin!”
Xyla Irwin… Her last name was Irwin as well.
There was a medicine that came from Southeast Aciatic in Mengasas, which had an intricate pattern on its bottle.
He seemed to have seen that pattern somewhere before, probably the small wooden box that Cordelia’s mother
had given her.
‘Rowan Irwin, Xyla Irwin… That medicine was from Xywan Pharmaceuticals under the Irwin Group. “Wan” stood for
Rowan while “Xy” was the person he loved but could not have…’
Zephyr felt his heart drop.
He was distracted throughout the meal as the questions replayed in his mind. It seemed that the clues were clearly
pointed to the answer now.
Once he sent Cordelia home, he sped to Imperial Media for Janine with the excuse of work.
Janine was walking briskly on the corridor with a stack of documents and nearly collided with Zephyr, who was
coming toward her.
“Zephyr Hamerton! Are you trying to scare your mother to death?”
“Mom…” Zephyr could care less as he pulled her to her office and asked in a low voice, “What’s your relationship
with Rowan Irwin in the past?”
“What do you want?” Janine glared at him.
“You aren’t related to him, so…” Zephyr’s eyes were deep. “What’s the relationship between him and your best
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfriend, Cordelia’s mom?”
Janine fell silent.
Zephyr took a deep breath and asked word after word, “Is Rowan Irwin Cordelia’s father?”
Janine was astonished. She looked at him for a long time, and her lips moved, but nothing left them.
Zephyr naturally assumed the reaction as a silent acknowledgment. He had mixed feelings about it, so complicated
that he could barely describe it.
He did not expect that… the old geezer was his… future father-in-law!?
It was even more of a surprise that he once told Cordelia that he was putting his companies and the western
suburbs’ project and whatnot under her name in hopes of showing his sincerity to his future father-in-law… only for
it to be shown to who? Rowan Irwin!
Was there a more outrageous thing in the world than this!?
Was Rowan looking at him like he was looking at a fool?
He must have thought that his son-in-law was great for showing his respect with so many assets…
Zephyr slumped into the couch and pinched between his brows as he heaved a long exhale.
