“Forget it if you don’t know,” Victoria said while smiling. “It’s not like I need to know. I’m just asking. You don’t have
to take it seriously.
“It’s late, and I’m sure your baby misses you?”
Victoria then looked at the guards. “Send Ms. Irwin home!”
The guards bowed respectfully and stood by Cordelia’s side.
However, Cordelia had a subtle bad feeling.
The smile on Victoria’s face was cryptic. Meanwhile, it did not feel like the guards were sending her home, but
sending her to death…
Cordelia took a deep breath, inwardly laughing at herself for doubting.
She bowed at Victoria and turned around to leave the garden.
Victoria looked at where Cordelia had been sitting. The box of jewelry was still on the table.
She smiled coldly as she put on the sapphire ring on her finger. She kept looking at it and said to her subordinate in
a deep voice, “Tell them to send Ms. Irwin home ‘properly’, get it?”
However, the two guards brought Cordelia back as soon as she was done speaking.
Shock flashed through Victoria’s face. Subsequently, she saw Alexander behind them!
“You…”
“I was just coming to see you, and I ran into Cordelia!”
Cordelia glanced at Alexander. She had seen him at the Irwins’ lounge before, but she did not have much
impression of him.
Besides the fact that she thought he looked rather feminine.
They stood close to each other at the moment. As she took a good look at him, he indeed exuded a subtle beauty.
His features were beautiful. He had fair skin, was tall but skinny, and exuded sophistication in everything he did. He
was a classic handsome man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexander turned his face to smile at Cordelia.
His smile was clear and clean. God seemed to have put everything good into that pair of eyes.
“Are you leaving?”
Cordelia was stunned, and she then nodded.
“There’s no need to trouble my sister’s subordinates,” he said. “I’ll send you home.”
“What are you doing, brother?” Victoria’s voice was cold, and she sounded upset. “Cordelia is my guest, so it makes
sense that I get my subordinates to send her home!”
Alexander’s voice was soft, but it was clear. “Sister, we’re family. Your guest is my guest! So, I’ll send her home. It’s
nothing!”
“You—”
Before Victoria could speak, Alexander grabbed Cordelia’s arm and left with her directly.
The guards dared not go after them. They stared at Victoria.
“Why are you looking at me!?” She was mad from the humiliation. “You can’t even send a person home. Useless!”
…
Cordelia sat in Alexander’s limited-edition fast car.
Although it was fast and would make a loud noise, he was steady as soon as he stepped on the accelerator. She
watched the scenery pass by quickly but did not feel car sick.
They chatted along the way, and Cordelia got the impression he was different from those royals.
He did not give off a suppressing vibe. He was polite when he spoke, and even his smile was warm.
However, he had been majestic when he stopped Victoria’s men from taking her away. He had a prince’s
demeanor.
Not only that, but he was also knowledgeable. It was an absolute treat to be chatting with him.
The journey from the palace to Irwin Manor was long, but time seemed to have passed by quickly. They arrived
soon.
Alexander drove in and pulled over where Cordelia lived.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Alexander got out of the car before Cordelia could open the door and opened it for her.
Cordelia smiled and nodded. “I’m sorry to have troubled you.”
“You’re too kind,” Alexander said politely. “Irwin Pharmaceuticals has contributed greatly to Southeast Aciatic. Mrs.
Irwin is Southeast Aciatic’s heroine, and you’re her daughter. It’s my honor to take you home.”
Cordelia did not know what to say.
“Where you live is close to the rainforest in Sabe.” He looked around. “I think the rainforest is over there?”
“Oh, yes.”
“I heard they have the one and only double-winged fireflies in Sabe’s rainforest!” He smiled. “Mrs. Irwin even
painted a painting called The Fireflies’ Light!”
Cordelia was stunned. “You even know about this, Your Highness?”
“I even know that the painting is the proof of Mr. and Mrs. Irwin’s love for each other,” he said, “So, I thought
double-winged fireflies represent love.”
“I see…” Cordelia forced a smile to respond to him. “My parents’ relationship is quite precious indeed.”
Although she said that, she was actually thinking. ‘Why is this person not leaving?’
She was eager to go home. She had not seen her son the entire afternoon and her husband the entire day…
She missed them.
However, it did not seem like Alexander was leaving. He was walking around, admiring the manor. Cordelia did not
dare to chase him away directly…
“Cordelia.” He suddenly called out to her.
“Hmm?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA complicated expression suddenly flashed through Alexander’s face. “Does your husband live here too?”
She thought it was strange. “We’re married. Of course, we live together.”
Alexander knew he had said something wrong, so he smiled awkwardly.
“Okay, please go home. I—”
Before he was done, a deep voice suddenly came from not far away.
“You’ve been talking for so long, Your Highness. Do you want to come in?”
Cordelia and Alexander were stunned simultaneously.
The voice was like ice, and heavy footsteps were approaching. The man’s chiseled face slowly appeared in the
night.
His deep eyes seemed to be hiding two knives.
With the suppression that came with him, even a prince dared not play anything in his presence.
Cordelia instantly revealed a sincere smile as soon as she saw him. “Hubby!”
She ran over eagerly. She wanted to hold his hand, but he grabbed her waist tightly.
She felt shy when there was an outsider present.
However, Zephyr was undisturbed. He walked toward Alexander while holding her.
The latter stared at his face and licked his lips. There was a subtle smirk at the corner of his lips.
Zephyr said coldly, “Your Highness, thank you so much for sending my wife home.”
Alexander was stunned for a few seconds before saying with a smile. “It’s nothing.”
“Want to come in?”
There was provocation in it.
Never had he thought Alexander would accept it by saying flatly, “Sure.”
Zephyr was beaten.
Now only did he understand what the saying, “It is easier to invite somebody than to send them away”, meant.
Alexander walked in front while the couple followed behind him.
Cordelia kept winking and frowning at Zephyr. She was looking at him in a blaming manner.
