Phil kept challenging Zennie’s sensitivity, driving her mad.
“I’m begging you, Phil…” Zennie looked at him while crying. “Let me go. I really can’t do it… I’ve no grudge against
the people at the bar. Why would I want to harm them with drugs?
“Phil, I won’t tell anyone if you let me go. Okay? Let me go… I’ll give you money, I’ll give you a lot of money,
enough for you to leave Centrolis and live a good life…”
She was panting from crying and sounded incoherent.
Although it was the main street, not many people walked by.
Even when there were some pedestrians, whenever Zennie wanted to beg for help, Phil would grab her waist to
hug her. He would lift his baseball cap and smile at the passersby apologetically.
The more she struggled, the more he wanted to fight her.
‘Stop it, baby. Come home with me!”
His voice was even gentler than the light at dawn. The passersby would smile from their hearts when they heard
what he said.
Zennie shrieked with all that she had. “Help! Help me!”
“When will you stop making noise? I’ve agreed to buy you the bag that you want!”
“Let me go—”
Unfortunately, the passersby thought it was just a couple’s quarrel.
Nobody was willing to stick their nose in their business.
Zennie cried out loud in despair. She fell to the ground after struggling away from Phil.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe condescendingly looked at her. He felt a surge of excitement rising in his body, which was sickening.
“If you don’t want to leave the drugs in the bar, do something else for me.”
Zennie looked at him with tears filling her eyes.
Phil scoffed. “Help me destroy Cordelia and Zephyr!”
…
Rowan and Xyla rushed back from Southeast Aciatic after learning that Cordelia was pregnant.
They flew out in the morning and arrived at Royal Manor in the evening.
When Zephyr opened the door, he was dumbstruck to see his clumsy father and mother-in-law.
He then looked at Ginger, which they were holding…
“Meow!”
It seemed to be plumper now. It squinted while meowing at him. It had a disdainful look on its face, and it buried
itself into Xyla’s embrace after that.
Zephyr took a deep breath and pressed on his throbbing temples hard.
Rowan frowned, feeling upset. “Say, are you going to let us stand here?”
Zephyr was stunned. At that point, he snapped back to his senses and invited them in.
Rowan showed his arrogance again. He cleared his throat intentionally and said to Xyla, “See? I told you that I didn’t
want to come. Our son-in-law doesn’t like us!
“You’re rushing things, Xyla! Our daughter is the high-and-mighty Mrs. Hamerton now. She’ll definitely have people
taking care of her since she’s pregnant. Why must you insist that I come as well…
“See, I have to look at his face!”
“Okay.” Xyla rolled her eyes at him helplessly. “Then I’ll book the flight ticket for you to fly back now!”
Rowan fell silent.
In reality, he could not wait to come. It was just that the treatment he got was different from what he imagined.
Zephyr forced a smile.
However, they instantly found out why he had that face on as soon as they entered…
Liam sat on the couch while smiling. The maids surrounded him, while Henry and Kate were smiling too.
Uncle Clark and Robert stood behind them, and the Hamertons’ medical team was running around.
Chefs from many countries were there too.
The chef from Ilbon that Cordelia had picked was happily working in the kitchen now. He was flushing.
It felt like a mini banquet. However, Royal Manor was small. It was crowded as there were many people.
Rowan and Xyla looked at each other and could not help but smile.
Everyone was surrounding Cordelia like a star.
They were all smiling happily.
Zephyr was the only one who seemed to be in a different world.
He felt bored and checked the time, thinking about why so many people were staying there. He wanted to be alone
with his wife…
“Meow!” Ginger ran to him and rubbed his foot.
Was it pitying him?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven a cat was pitying him now?
Feeling annoyed, Zephyr glared fiercely at it.
Ginger stared blankly at him while tilting its little head. Something was wrong with this man today!
It was hungry, so it came here to ask for canned tuna. Why was he so fierce?
Ginger ran to the courtyard to look for Aunt Helen.
Zephyr showed a smile on his face as if he had won.
“Hear that, Zen?” Suddenly, a voice pulled him back.
“Hmm?” He had a blank look on his face. “Hear what?”
Liam’s face instantly sank, and he criticized him. “What’s wrong with you lately? Did you not hear anything the
doctor just said?”
“I—”
“I’m worried about letting you take care of Cordelia and my great-grandson!”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
Cordelia smiled gently. She got up to walk to him, leaning on him like a cat.
“Don’t you say that about my husband, grandpa!” she said softly. “He takes great care of me. I’m spoiled!”
“Oh, really?” Liam was happy now. “Sure, I won’t criticize him, then!”
Zephyr was surprised. It was rare to see his grandfather so obedient.
“Zen, Cordelia is pregnant now. Don’t let her exhaust herself.” Liam smiled. “No matter her work or house chores,
do more for her. Understand?”
Zephyr was stunned. He understood what his grandfather said as: “No matter the company or the house, you’ll be
handling the money. Understand?”
Zephyr smirked. Happiness hit him when he least expected it.
