“What are you thinking about?” Cordelia looked at Zephyr with her big eyes. “You’re smiling so happily!”
“I’m thinking about what would happen to us if we stayed in Jangasas instead of moving.”
Cordelia was stunned. “I think we wouldn’t be happy.”
“Why not?”
“I know you miss the simple life we had in Jangasas.” She looked at him in all seriousness. “But it’s impossible for us
to stay simple. We must face the toughness of life and the dramas among people.
“Since we have to face that, I’d rather do it in Centrolis or here. At least we have our family’s support!”
Zephyr smiled lightly. She was getting more and more mature.
“I kind of like the simple life before,” he said. “But I like the complicated life we have now too.
“No matter what, I love it when I have you in my life.”
Cordelia’s eyes lit up, and she smiled.

She was rendered speechless and smiled helplessly. There was playfulness in her eyes. “Don’t tell me you really
think Alexander has fallen for me? I’m already a mom. What does he want from me?”
“Moms can be charming too!” Zephyr said in all seriousness.
Cordelia did not want to fight him. No matter what, she was perfect to him.
She smiled sweetly, adjusted her posture, and lay comfortably in his embrace.
Although she did not believe that Alexander, a royal, had the fetish of coveting someone’s wife, she had decided to
keep a distance from him.
“I’ll try my best to reject their invitations,” she said. “But I think Neil has it worse. I don’t think Victoria would let him
go easily.”
Zephyr patted her back softly and kissed her hair.
Cordelia’s breathing was rhythmic, and she fell asleep soon. However, Zephyr was tossing and turning. What
Alexander had said before he left was echoing in his head.
“Mr. Z, don’t you recognize me?”
He frowned hard and had a feeling there was a hidden meaning to that.
…
The night gave a mysterious vibe to the majestic palace. Especially at night when the lights were still on, it looked
like a pearl from afar. It was like an embellishment among the palm trees.
Alexander returned to his room. He was shocked to find Victoria sitting there as soon as he entered.
He was stunned but smiled calmly. “It’s late, sister. Do you need me?”
Victoria looked at him. Her eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. They were cold.
“I heard from my subordinate that you drove Cordelia home with your fast car?”
Alexander chuckled. “Oh, I’ve just bought it. Since I wanted to test it, I thought I’d send her home!”
“You don’t trust me with her?”

“Tell me!”
Victoria snapped and pushed the fruit plate onto the floor, creating a mess.
The maids were terrified and dared not clean the mess—all they could do was look at them with terror.
Alexander smirked and got everyone else to leave as he looked at his sister coldly.
He enunciated each word. “Sis, do you dare to swear that you weren’t trying to hurt Cordelia for getting the two
guards to send her home?”
Victoria’s expression changed.
They grew up together, so he was well aware of her temper.
Victoria was arrogant and selfish and would definitely hurt the people who went against her.
Perhaps she would not take Cordelia’s life tonight.
However, there were mountains, sea, and cliffs from the palace to Irwin Manor.
Perhaps she would “accidentally” fall into the sea and drench herself, or maybe she would “accidentally” fall off the
mountain and suffer minor injuries.
Alexander smirked as he inched closer. “Sis, do you dare to swear?”
