It was difficult to make the willful man admit his fragility, but his reaction was evidence that Cordelia was right.
After a stretched moment of silence, Zephyr finally spoke up. “Yes, honey…”
Cordelia stroked his face adoringly.
“My parents are good to me after their divorce, both families are, but there’s still a knot in my heart.
“Aunt Cloud sees me as her own, but when I see her, Zennie, and dad together sometimes, I feel like they’re a
family of three, and I’m only an outsider.
“And mom’s going to have her own family now too…”
Zephyr smiled and let out a self-deprecating chuckle. He snapped back to himself briefly and looked at Cordelia to
ask in worry, “Do you think I’m being petty?”
Cordelia curled up in his arms. Her warmth and sweet fragrance were the one and only antidote in the world that
slowly calmed Zephyr down.

Zephyr’s heart clenched.
“Darling, why would you be left behind? You have me!
“Dad and mom have their own lives, so they can’t possibly accompany you forever. But I’ll definitely be there for
you in your life!”
“Cordelia…” There was a hint of a sob in Zephyr’s voice.
“Life is like that. Our parents will leave before us, and our children will have their own lives when they grow up. It’s
lonely to be alive.
“But I’m not lonely anymore with you in my life!” Cordelia smiled sweetly and poked Zephyr’s chest. “What about
you? Is it the same for you?”
The corner of Zephyr’s lips twitched, and he wanted to say something, but no words got out. He could only express
himself with a deep kiss…
“Mmh!”
Cordelia nearly lost her breath when she was kissed unexpectedly. Strong arms wound around her shoulders, and
large hands roamed around her.
“No…” She pushed him lightly. “Not today…”
“I know.” Zephyr smiled. His deep eyes dilated as he showered kisses from her face to her chest.
He did not mind nibbling when he could not get a bite.
Zephyr smiled and pulled the covers over their heads. The moonlight shone through the window onto the swaying
figures on the bed.
…
Zephyr and Cordelia arrived at Melorian with their son a few days later.
This was not Zuko’s first time on a plane, but he was just a newborn back then and was too young. He was a little
over one year old now and took the flight well, not giving Cordelia additional worries.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith big adorable blinking eyes, he looked around, full of curiosity for everything around him.
It was just that when he saw his own father, he pursed his lips and turned his head away.
“Brat…” Zephyr glared and muttered under his breath.
He had been disgruntled the whole way. He had planned to take Cordelia to Melorian alone—as a honeymoon so
they could spend some quality alone time together.
Cordelia was unable to leave Zuko, though. Zephyr had said all he could, swearing that just one week in Melorian
was enough and that there were so many nannies and service staff at home. Rowan and Xyla would be home too,
so there was nothing to worry about leaving the child with them.
Unfortunately, his wife prioritized their son so much that he, as her husband, could only make way for the kid.
Therefore, Cordelia happily took Zuko aboard the plane to Melorian amidst Zephyr’s reluctance.
Once they exited the VIP passage, they saw Janine waiting.
“Cordelia, Zephyr!” She waved excitedly and was even happier to see Zuko. She carried him into her arms at once.
“Oh, my little baby! You’ve grown so fast! Let Granny give you a kiss!”
