“He has the mind of a 10-year-old child. He knows some stuff, but not too much.”
Cordelia nodded.
Therefore, it made sense that he was rude and that it was hard to communicate with him sometimes.
As such, out of guilt, Janine did not mind what he said.
“Not only my mom, but my grandfather is patient with him too,” said Zephyr. “He married Hannah, who is Ava’s
mom.
“But he’ll listen to whatever she says. She has her fingers around him, which is a headache to my grandfather. My
mom has spoken to him a couple of times, and he dared to fight back. That’s why they’re not as close now.”
Cordelia understood now.
Perhaps Noah did not get the terrible behavior and reputation from himself. Instead, someone was ordering him to

Zephyr patted her head. “Cordelia, I told you all this so that you can be aware, not to exhaust you mentally.”
“Mm-hmm, I know!” She smiled. “My mission here is to rest well and give birth to our son!”
…
Ava had been trying to get close to Cordelia the past few days.
She would text her every day and night, as well as chat with her. She even initiated going to the hospital for a
medical checkup with her.
She seemed harmless.
Cordelia showed her phone to Zephyr.
There would always be more than 99 messages on her chatting application, and over 80% came from Ava.
She would even send her pictures of cats that she saw on the street.
“Isn’t your cousin a little too friendly?” Cordelia was not sure whether to cry or laugh.
“Ignore her. Block her if you think she’s too annoying,” Zephyr said flatly. “She’s been clingy since young.”
“So, she’s clingy with you as well?”
Zephyr was stunned and instantly recalled those trick questions that she used to ask him.
“Wifey, w-what are you talking about?” He faked a laugh. “How would Ava and I…”
Cordelia knew that it was impossible something was going on with them.
However, he could not stop her from liking him!
Moreover, they were not cousins by blood.
She pouted and said nothing. If she went on, it would make her seem like she was being dramatic.

Cordelia suddenly felt irritated. She handed her phone to Zephyr directly to show him how Ava annoyed her every
day.
He was secretly nervous when he saw her face suddenly sunken. However, he found out that it was not Ava who
sent her messages when he checked.
Her phone kept vibrating as someone was face-timing her.
“Wifey!” He felt relieved as he called out to her. “See who is calling you!”
“Hmm?”
Cordelia was stunned when she took over her phone.
The name on the screen was like a light to her.
She picked it up immediately, and Melorian Airport appeared in the background.
“Hello, my dear Mrs. Z.” The person’s laughter was like a bell. “Come pick me up!”
