Zephyr was stunned and rendered speechless.
What was the scariest thing in the world?
It was not being the victim of a plane-accident scheme or being on alert from being harmed since he was young. It
was his smart wife who was next to him…
She would always throw him trick questions that made him sweat!
“Tell me!” She inched her face toward his and blinked her big eyes. There was a cryptic smile on her face. “Have
you had that thought or not?”
Zephyr thought about it and decided to play it by ear.
He grabbed her hands and looked at her attentively. His voice was deep and electric.
“I admit that I had that thought, but it went away quickly.
“Because…
“I fell in love faster than I imagined I would!
“Wifey, there seemed to be an army in my head. As soon as the thought appeared, it was suppressed by the
army!” He smiled. “Then I found out why the army was so powerful because it is called ‘I love you’.”
Cordelia blushed and leaned on him.
Her belly was growing. She could hug him with one hand before, but now she needed both hands.
He hugged her while smiling. At that moment, the baby suddenly moved. He could not help but feel excited to be
involved in the magical moment.
“Wifey, is our son greeting me?”
“Mm-hmm.” Cordelia was emotional, choking. She grabbed his waist. “Our son is saying that you can’t put the army
away even after he’s born. The army will have to stay in your head forever!”
“Of course.” Zephyr chuckled and rubbed her face with his thumb.

“Wifey, there’ll be three of us after our son is born.” His voice was deep, each word filled with allure.
“Perhaps we’ll have more kids in the future. There’ll be four or five of us…
“But no matter what, I’ll reserve a space for you forever. There’ll only be us in that space. And you… will forever be
the supreme commander of the army!”
Cordelia teared up and smiled happily.
…
The launch was ready the next day.
Cordelia was doing the final touches backstage. Neil brought Aurelia to see her.
Although she was six months pregnant, she maintained good order in her work. There were many things to do at
the launch. She had to handle many things, yet she handled them with ease.
Aurelia wanted to help but didn’t know where to start.
“Cordelia is such a powerful woman. She looks weak, but she’s even more capable than men!” Aurelia admired her,
and then she looked at Neil. “Am I right, uncle?”
Neil’s expression changed. He almost gave her another deadly stare.
He and Cordelia were cousins. So why did she call her by her name but called him uncle?
Moreover, she would address anyone else the usual way.
For instance, she would call Fredric brother, Trinity sister, and a respectful Mr. Hamerton when she saw Zephyr.
She would only call him uncle.
Why did she do that?
Aurelia did not understand why he made that face. At that moment, the haute couture dress on the rack got her
attention.
Each of these beautiful, elegant dresses was embroidered by her. Each of them was the result of her great effort.
She smiled happily when she thought they would be shown in the spotlight by the country. It was her first time
feeling the meaning of life.
The assistant reported to Cordelia. “Ma’am, the haute couture dresses are here. We’ve checked all of them, and
they’re all good.”
“What about the men’s collection?”
“The haute couture series is here. We got people to check them. They’re all good.”
“Great.” Cordelia checked the time. “The opening will happen half an hour later.”
“Are the models here?”
Right after Cordelia said that, she saw Fan running from outside in panic.
“Ma’am, two models terminated their contracts! What do we do now!?”
“What?” Cordelia was shocked.
The former told her what had happened.
The two models were from one of the brands. They had no idea why they announced the termination of their
contracts before the launch.
When the reporters asked about the compensation, the two answered confidently that they compensation. They did
not care about the money.
Cordelia frowned.
The models were famous in the industry and had many fans.
They worked hard for their success.
To any regular model, with the way they terminated their contract, the brands would blacklist them. They would
ruin their future.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, they did not seem to care about that.
Then there would only be one reason that happened…
Cordelia bit her lip and said softly, “The mastermind must have given them more!”
“What did you say, Cordelia?” Neil looked at her in concern. “What mastermind?”
“Let’s forget about that for now.” She took a deep breath in and tried her best to stay calm.
She called Zephyr to tell him everything that happened and get him to find the “mastermind”.
The priority now was to sort out the remaining models’ show times to balance out the slots reserved for the
previous two models.
She quickly scribbled on the paper. However, she could not sort out how to balance it out after a long time.
“We lack two people no matter what!” She was mad. “They must have done that on purpose. They must have
known that we can’t rearrange it and that nobody will be here for the rescue!”
“Who told you there’s nobody for the rescue?” Neil patted her shoulder. “Did you forget me, cousin? I’m a Best
Actor award winner, after all!”
“You…”
Cordelia fell into a daze for a moment.
She began thinking quickly. ‘This is right! It was a man and woman who terminated their contract. Neil’s height is
similar to a male model’s. Moreover, he was trained as a model before his debut. Walking at shows is what he is
good at.
‘He is the perfect replacement!’
Cordelia screamed from the excitement. She quickly got her assistant to bring the suit that was meant for the
model to Neil.
“We have the male model now but still lack a female model!” Fan panicked. “Ma’am, I asked a few modeling
agencies, but they can’t send us any models.”
Cordelia thought for a moment and saw Aurelia standing in the corner.
Her eyes suddenly lit up!
