Since the guest was already there, it did not make sense for Cordelia and Zephyr to chase him away.
Cordelia held Zephyr’s arm as they followed behind Alexander. The Irwins often hosted royals at Irwin Manor, but
they rarely hosted anyone at this hour.
Fortunately, Alexander was nice. They only got a butler to stay, as they did not need any fanfare.
After the butler served snacks, Zephyr got him to leave.
They were the only three people left in the living room.
Cordelia was eager to laugh when she saw his angry face. She secretly held his hand, showing him a warm and
determined face.
Zephyr’s face instantly perked up, and he started smiling gently now. They looked at each other, seemingly
forgetting that there was someone with them. They seemed to only have each other in their eyes.
“Ahem!”
Alexander faked a cough to pull them back to reality.
Cordelia let go of Zephyr’s hand immediately, but the latter stopped that from happening. The second she let go,
he held her hand tightly again.

is worth of envy too!”
Cordelia’s cheeks blushed, and she looked down.
Zephyr smirked and served him tea as the head of the family. “I brought this tea from Centrolis. If you like it, I can
get someone to bring it here every year.”
Alexander smiled courteously and tasted it. The tea was soothing—it was a rare, good tea indeed.
“I’ve long heard that the head of the four families in Centrolis has great taste. I can see that from your taste in tea
alone!”
“This is a type of green tea.” Zephyr looked cold as he wore a cryptic smile. “Drinking tea is just like women
wearing accessories. They should wear what fits them! Am I right, Your Highness?”
“Hmm, that’s a fresh point of view… And it’s correct!”
Alexander did not understand what he meant by that. He smiled like a fool.
However, Cordelia knew what Zephyr meant. She could not help but squeeze his hand.
He gasped and stared at her.
She held back her laughter.
Alexander saw everything they did.
He watched Cordelia silently before he looked at Zephyr in the end. His eyes had a complicated look, but he soon
looked away.
Zephyr thought he was looking at Cordelia, so he was mad.
It was already shameless that he coveted someone else’s wife, and now he dared to just stare at her on his watch!?
Which man could take that!?
So what if he was a prince? A prince should be virtuous too. He had to follow the law and the order of society too!
Zephyr straightened his body. The grim in his eyes deepened.
However, he looked like everything was fine as he talked about life with Alexander while drinking tea.
They talked from the world to politics, economy, religion, philosophy, literature, art, astronomy, geography, to
technology.
They even talked about the Champion League…
They even spoke in different languages a couple of times…
Cordelia was stunned as she listened.
Time was passing by, but they did not have the means to stop at all. Meanwhile, the hostility in Zephyr’s eyes was

It was as if they were competing, and he had to beat Alexander.
Cordelia checked the time, a little worried. Zuko should wake up soon. He would be scared if he did not see his
parents…
“I’m sorry, I—”
Just when she was going to interrupt them, Alexander smiled and spoke first. “It’s late. You guys should rest soon,
right?”
Cordelia was rather surprised.
Alexander stood up and said courteously. “I won’t be a bother.”
At that moment, a cry came from upstairs.
Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart. Ignoring the fact that Alexander was still in the living room, she quickly went
upstairs.
Zephyr looked at him.
‘This fellow is targeting the nursery now?’
Just when Zephyr was about to speak, Alexander said with a chuckle, “Your son’s cry sure is loud.”
Zephyr was stunned.
