Rowan paused and smiled instead of answering.
Alexander turned around to help him out. “Mr. Irwin, I heard that you have some White Egret Orchids here, which
are rare. It’s the blooming season now. I wonder if I’d be lucky to have a look?”
“Of course!” Rowan quickly replied, “This way, please, Your Highness!”
Alexander and Rowan went off to look at the flowers as they chatted. Victoria, who was left behind, looked enraged.
“Your Highness, no need to get petty with them!” her maid appeased from the side.
“Hah, what’s there to be petty about?” Victoria snickered, “I’m the future ruler. They’ll regret it for disregarding me
like this now!”
“Yes, when the time comes!” Her maid then eyed her discreetly for her to look at the window.
When Victoria came to the window, she heard the laughter outside. There were two people by the pool—Aurelia
and Neil…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIrwin Manor was close to the rainforest, and the pool was connected to the pond. Palm trees thrived by the bank,
and the air smelled floral.
It was supposed to be a charming scenery, but it felt like a needle in Victoria’s heart.
Aurelia caught a frog while Neil, a germaphobe, touched its head, making Aurelia giggle loudly.
“Your Highness…” Victoria’s maid observed her look carefully. “Should I invite Mr. Harris over?”
“No need!” Victoria gnashed her teeth. “If he likes a cheap woman like that, let him hang with her!”
“Your Highness, there’s no need to give Mr. Harris away over a cheap b*tch. There are plenty of ways to tackle
her!”
Victoria was quiet as she took another glance, but the scene that greeted her nearly made her eyes bulge. Aurelia’s
headband had fallen off, so her lustrous long hair spilled like a chestnut waterfall, shining under the sunlight.
Aurelia wore a white short-sleeved blouse with a long skirt and had her back against the window…
Victoria shuddered as her heart lurched. Why had she never noticed that Aurelia’s hair was also chestnut in color?
That instant just now, if she did not know that it was Aurelia, she would have assumed her to be the lunatic in the
west palace given her dressing and figure!
Victoria clutched the window frame as she gasped and shook her head.
“Your Highness?” Her maid was worried. “You don’t look good. Do you feel ill?”
“No…”
“Let’s leave earlier if you don’t feel well!”
Victoria nodded. After calming down, she found her suspicion just now to be absurd.
Aurelia was obviously mixed, and she had no immigration status before this. She would never be related to her
Aunt Helene!
“But…” Victoria said to herself with a frown, “It’s better to be careful with things.”
“Your Highness, what are you talking about?”
“Get someone to investigate it for me!” Victoria instructed softly, “Find out about Aurelia’s background in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChaiseland and who she interacts with now… Just dig deep into her, understand?”
“Yes.”
“Do this in secret. Don’t let anyone find out!”

At night, Zephyr pushed the door to the baby room open and saw Cordelia staring at their sleeping son with full
attention with a sweet smile. She looked like a fangirl infatuated with a male celebrity.
Zephyr smiled weakly, feeling like his wife was obsessed. She never had enough of looking at their son. Sometimes
when Zuko had yet to wake up in the morning and she woke up first, she would stay by the bed to look at him
quietly like this too.
Zephyr had been startled awake several times, afraid that she had postpartum depression when she went into a
daze like this each time.
Cordelia rolled her eyes at him. She just found their son to be so good-looking that he was adorable even when he
was sleeping.
Zephyr asked her grumpily, “Didn’t you say that your husband’s the most handsome man in this world?”
“Oh, did I?” Cordelia refused to admit it. “You must’ve misheard!”
