Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart. She turned around and leaned in Zephyr’s embrace softly. He would always
give her a sense of security.
She slept soundly that night. When she woke up the next day, she realized Zephyr was no longer next to her.
However, the fragrance of toasted bread came from downstairs.
With her huge belly, she went to check it out. Zephyr was busy working in the kitchen. The domestic staff stood
quietly, watching him create chaos in the kitchen.
“Wifey, you’re up?” Zephyr stretched his neck to smile at her.
Cordelia suddenly recalled the time when he took the initiative to cook for her when she took leave due to
menstrual cramps back in Jangasas. In the end… Not only did he turn the kitchen upside down, but his breakfast
was also a burnt egg and oat porridge with very little oat in it.
She chuckled and walked over to look.
It was much better now. Although the kitchen was messy, he had improved his cooking skills.
He made her a rainbow-like breakfast. There was red from tomatoes, yellow from corn, green from parsley, and
purple from sweet potato.
Cordelia looked back, gave him a hug, and complimented him in Chaisene, “My husband is the best!”
The domestic staff looked at each other and smiled. They could not bear to watch them show affection, so they
brought the breakfast to the dining room and cleaned the mess.
Zephyr held the bowl and fed his wife pumpkin porridge, one spoonful after another.
Cordelia wiped her lips. “Hubby, it’s the weekend. What plans do you have?”
“Do you want to go out?”
“Mm-hmm… I want to visit my parents.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe smiled and agreed.
Rowan and Xyla were staying at the hotel under the Baker Group as well. They were Neil’s neighbors.
It would mean that they should have met Aurelia.
Cordelia munched on the sweet potato bun while falling into deep thought. “If my parents like Aurelia, I’m
thinking… to ask them to bring her to Southeast Aciatic.”
“What?” Zephyr was stunned.
“She won’t have an identity no matter where she is anyway, but she has skills!” Cordelia looked at him. “Even Neil
said that her embroidery skill is better than the seamstress in Southeast Aciatic!
“If we can train her properly, given the… relationship our family has with the royalty, it shouldn’t be an issue to give
her an identity.”
“Hmm.” Zephyr agreed flatly. “Let’s not worry about someone else. You’re the most important person in the entire
family now!”
She pursed her lips and smiled.
At that moment, their doorbell was ringing in a rushed manner.
The butler went to get the door. Soon, a polite police sergeant walked over.
Zephyr was slightly surprised to see him. He greeted him with a smile. “Why are you here, Will?”
Will Orwell bowed courteously.
He was an old friend of the Bakers. Thanks to the Bakers, he had been promoted from an officer to a sergeant.
He was as old as Zephyr. He would ask him out to drink or play golf every time the latter visited.
“Is it your day off today?” Zephyr patted his shoulder while smiling. “But I can’t hang out with you today. My wife is
due soon, so I must stay with her.”
Will forced a smile. He looked rather moody.
Zephyr noticed something was wrong. “You have something to tell me?”
The former calmed down, took out his phone, and played a video.
It had been taken at the film set, and Aurelia was in it!
“What…” Cordelia was annoyed. “That seems to be the day when Aurelia was at Trinity’s shooting location.”
Zephyr was stunned.
“Did you forget?” Cordelia reminded him. “Trinity was amending the script while Neil took Aurelia to visit her. She
got Trinity’s attention! She even took many pictures of her.”
Will looked serious. “Mrs. Hamerton, that means… you know this girl?”
“I…”
Cordelia looked at Zephyr with hesitation.
He held her shoulders. “Will is family. There’s no need to hide from him.”
Zephyr then looked at Will. “That’s right. We know Aurelia. What’s wrong with that, Will?”
“It’s complicated.” Will frowned. “Do you know who leaked this video?”
“Who?”
“Ava.”
Zephyr and Cordelia were stunned at the same time.
“Ava is in detention, waiting for trial. But I don’t know why she has this video on her phone. She even sent it to us
herself… I knew she is your cousin, so I got this video from my colleague. Do you know what happened?”
“I…” Zephyr was at a loss for words. Cordelia was the same too.
They did not have the time to think about why Ava had that video.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe current trouble was that the authorities noticed Aurelia now.
“If it were me who saw this video, I’d delete it secretly… But too bad my colleagues have seen it,” said Will. “They
quickly investigated. The girl has no identity, and she’s not registered under any system. She lives in the slum area
in the south, always hanging out with the nomads.”
Will said in all seriousness, “Mr. Hamerton, Mrs. Hamerton, according to the law, we must chase her out of the
country!”
Cordelia said worriedly. “Sir, can you show mercy and give us some time? We…”
Will’s phone rang at that moment.
He walked aside to pick up the call. He turned around a moment later, looking even more serious now.
Zephyr had a bad feeling and asked in a deep voice, “Something happened?”
Will nodded.
“Someone from the squad said she’s wanted!”
“What?”
“I guess you don’t know that we get credit for capturing people like that. So…” Will took a deep breath in and
adjusted his hat. A chilly gleam flashed on the gun on his waist.
“But don’t worry. I’ll go back to check the situation. If she’s being taken to the station, I guarantee her safety. She
won’t be hurt!”
Will turned around to leave right after that.
Cordelia calmed down and called Neil immediately.
It took a while before he picked up his phone.
“Where are you?”
“I’m in class!” His voice was lazy. “Your Mr. Z put me in so many classes. If I don’t hone my acting skills, won’t I be
wasting my boss’ kindness?”
“Come back now!” Cordelia said in a rush. “Something happened to Aurelia!”
