Zephyr frowned. To him, what Alexander said was rather strange.
It did not matter that he did not covet Cordelia. What did he mean by he “dared not”?
Instead of just speaking normally, he looked down, pursed his lips, and chuckled. What did he mean by all that?
Zephyr thought he had met many people. However, when he met Alexander, only then did he realize there were
people in the world that he could not see through.
After falling into silence for a moment, he said, “You asked me if I recognized you before. I gave it a long, hard
thought, but I just can’t recall.”
“It’s okay.” Alexander maintained a warm smile on his face. “It’s all the way back to when we were studying. It
makes sense that you forgot.”
“Your Highness… studied at Walton as well?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That’s right.” Alexander put his hands together while rubbing his thumbs softly. “It’s just that I had bad grades. You
definitely never noticed me.”
However, he was willing to repay his kindness all his life…
Zephyr nodded. Half of the confusion was solved, at least. It turned out they were schoolmates. That was why he
had asked him that when they met.
It was just that he did not talk to many people when he was in school…
He frowned and asked while raising his voice. “Maybe you mistake me for someone else? I have a brother called
Marco. He was active in school, did you…”
“How would I mistake you for someone else?” Alexander shook his head, and his eyes were even more cryptic now.
“The person I know is Mr. Z of the Hamertons, Zephyr Hamerton. Unless you don’t want to admit your identity!”
Zephyr fell into deep thought for a moment and said. “Since we’re old friends, I’ll just tell you this directly.”
The former instantly sat straight after realizing that Zephyr was going to speak.
Zephyr’s face was still a little stiff, his expression serious. The words that came out of his mouth were
extraordinarily clear.
“You don’t actually have to take care of my wife. Although pure and kind, she’s definitely not weak or dumb!” He
peeped at Alexander. “Also, she has me. It’s enough! Do you understand what I mean, Your Highness?”
Alexander’s back was stiff as he revealed an unnatural smile.
Ever since graduation, he had imagined many scenarios of meeting Zephyr again, but not this—him raising hell
over the extra care he showed his wife.
He smiled awkwardly. He was stumped and felt bitter.
He took care of Cordelia because of him…
Not only Cordelia, but he would take care of Neil, the Irwins, and even… Aurelia, whom he had not met yet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was because they were all related to Zephyr.
However, he should never say what he had in mind.
He did not want to bother Zephyr.
Alexander could see that the joy he had with Cordelia was sincere, so he was happy too.
He should not show his intent, but he was willing to bring joy to them.
He was also willing to protect Zephyr’s wife and son with him…
Alexander nodded stiffly, forced a smile, and looked into Zephyr’s eyes. “I’m humiliated that you think that, Mr.
Hamerton. I’m not coveting Mrs. Hamerton. You don’t have to worry about that.”
“Okay.” Zephyr stood up directly while smiling. “Since I’ve told you what I have in mind, there’s no need for this
coffee!”
He turned to leave after bowing to him.
However, Alexander stood up too at that moment and suddenly yelled. “Zen, y-you’re not mad at me, right?”
