“Ms. Cordelia… do you want fruits?”
“Fruits?” Cordelia paused. “No?”
“Then why’s Mr. Zephyr going to the storeroom? That storeroom is basically filled with fruits!”
Cordelia was even more puzzled. Not too long later, though, she saw Zephyr coming out with two big pineapples.
He placed them in front of her.
“What… are you doing?” Cordelia took a few steps back.
Zephyr wore a straight face as he uttered lightly, “I’ll get on my knees.”
“You…”
“Darling, we’ve agreed on the rules, right?” He chuckled. “First, my wife is always right. Second, if my wife is wrong,
refer to the first rule!
“So, there’s no explanation in this matter. It’s my fault!
“Since I’m wrong, I have to be punished. Nicholas kneels down on a washboard? I’ll kneel down on pineapples!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia widened her eyes to stare at him in disbelief.
She caved instantly. The pineapples were thorny. What if he got hurt? She then began to self-reflect like usual.
Even if Alexander liked her husband, he had not done anything rude. Instead, he had taken their sides and
protected them.
Having been by Zephyr’s side all these years, she knew what kind of person her husband was. His devotion and
loyalty to her were evident.
Why was she throwing a tantrum just now, then? It was unreasonable of her to do so.
Cordelia stood on the spot, regretful, with red-rimmed eyes.
As soon as she wanted to give in, she caught a glimpse of the quirk on the corner of the man’s lips!
Cordelia jolted. She was completely in Zephyr’s grasp again. He knew that she could not bear for him to kneel on
those pineapples!
This time, though… she would let him do it.
Cordelia recomposed herself and glanced at him, clearing her throat without giving anything away. “Good attitude
in admitting your fault.”
The curve of Zephyr’s lips deepened.
“Are you really getting your knees on the pineapples?”
“Of course!”
“Okay, do it then.”
Wait, what!? Zephyr was befuddled. Why did she act out of script this time?
“What’s the matter?” Cordelia smirked. “Didn’t you say you’d punish yourself? You’ve gotten the pineapples out.
Why aren’t you kneeling yet?”
The man stood before her like he was standing on pins and needles. A myriad of expressions flashed through his
face, and he grimaced.
Cordelia could not help breaking out into a genuine giggle looking at him like this.
“Darling…”
“Zephyr Hamerton, you think I’m a pushover, don’t you? Each time you pull the pitiful card, I’ll start reflecting on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmyself, and you get to slide right past!”
“…”
“Alright, kneel on these pineapples all you want!” Cordelia swiveled away to go upstairs. “I’m tucking Zuko in!”
Zephyr froze. No way, the baby was going to sleep on their bed again?
They had just held their wedding today, so tonight was supposed to be their wedding night! How could he let a baby
spoil this pleasant moment?
He stood downstairs in silence until Cordelia completely vanished from his sight.
The butler quickly picked up the pineapples and eyed him to urge him upstairs.
Zephyr straightened up and coughed, maintaining a prideful demeanor as he unhurriedly walked upstairs.
The butlers and servants chuckled discreetly downstairs, exchanging whispers, “Mr. Zephyr’s so anxious inwardly,
but he’s still pretending!”
“I keep feeling like he’s like someone…”
“Mr. Rowan, duh!”
“Oh, yes! The father and son-in-law look like they came from the same mold!”
“Hahaha…”
“Shh!” The senior butler shot them a warning look. “No gossiping about your bosses! Go back to your work!”
