Aurelia’s big eyes seemed to have lost their usual shine and held a hint of terror.
“Cordelia… that woman, I-I think I know her!”
…
Melorian’s weather in June was damp, mild, and rainy. It was going to be summer, but the temperature remained
low, especially chilly at night.
Zephyr took a cardigan to drape on Cordelia, who was on the balcony, and hugged her from the back.
“What are you thinking about?”
Cordelia reeled in her gaze to turn to Zephyr. “Zephyr, do you think what Aurelia said… is true?”
Zephyr’s gaze dimmed.
Cordelia had told him all about Hannah’s visit today and Aurelia’s encounter during her abduction the other day.
“She was blindfolded that day, but she heard the voices clearly. Hannah spoke Acian, so it left a deep impression on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther.”
Zephyr’s expression was as grim as he clenched his fists.
If this was really the case, Hannah cheated with Chuck, and Noah was kept in the dark…
Once this was exposed, Noah would lose his wife and money, becoming the victim who was hurt the deepest. The
Bakers might be implicated as well!
“Zephyr…”
Cordelia could feel his emotions surge and hugged him back softly as she snuggled him.
“Don’t think of the worst-case scenario first! It might not be!” she consoled softly. “Aunt Hannah and Uncle Noah
have been married for so many years. It’s impossible there’s nothing between them. And I don’t think she’s that
bold…”
“She’s not?” Zephyr sneered. “Hah, she’s used my uncle all these years to get so much money and do all these
failing businesses with his name… I finally know why now.
“She’s supporting Chuck Cole. She’s stealing the Bakers’ money to support her lover!”
Cordelia held his hand.
“Zephyr, calm down!” She looked at him. “Aurelia said that Chuck and the woman mentioned the Bakers in their
conversation. I think we need to investigate Chuck whether or not the woman is Aunt Hannah.”
Zephyr nodded.
“And keep Uncle Noah safe. I think there’s a problem with that company…”
“Of course, there’s a problem with a money-laundering company!” Zephyr said coldly.
“What if…” Cordelia was worried. “What if it’s really Hannah? She’ll recognize Aurelia then!”
Zephyr paused. He had overlooked this issue.
“Should we send her away?” Cordelia considered. “She can’t go back to that street for sure. James is still there for
her. I suggest… to send her to Neil.”
The hotel that Neil stayed in that was under the Baker Group had one of the best security systems in Melorian, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe man had bodyguards he brought from Southeast Aciatic. They were all trained in the special forces and were
very skilled.
This way, Aurelia’s safety would be guaranteed.
“Hmm…” Zephyr mulled over it. “It’s a good idea! I’ll send someone to take her there tomorrow morning.”
Cordelia smiled. Her husband agreed no matter what she said. It seemed that he was really like his uncle. This
Zephyr, who had gone silly in his prime, was like Noah, indulging their wives silly.
It was just that Noah’s efforts were not worth it.
“Darling…” She snuggled Zephyr’s chest and spoke sweetly. “You’re the best.”
“Hmm?” Zephyr paused and stroked her hair with a smile. “Only because of this?”
“Of course not! You’re the best in everything you do!”
“Everything I do…” The man repeated the words before asking huskily next to her ear, “Then I must do something
tonight to prove that I’m the best in everything I do?”
Cordelia blushed and looked at her belly shyly.
Zephyr carried her to place her on the bed. “I promise I’ll be very gentle…”
Cordelia surrendered after two soft pushes and was wrapped in his hands to be cared for gently…
