Cordelia widened her eyes and almost lost her breath from laughing. She quickly carried Zuko.
Zephyr sat up, his hair messy. He was shocked, and there was no longer light in his eyes.
Little Zuko thought it was fun, so he clapped while giggling.
Zephyr kept taking deep breaths and told himself, “He’s my son, my son, my son!”
“Hubby, a-are you okay?”
Zephyr forced a smile and only squeezed out two words after a long time. “I’m okay.”
“Then…” Cordelia wanted to ask if he would continue translating for Jim today when her phone rang. It was a call
from Southeast Aciatic.
“Cordelia, are you up?” It was Rowan’s voice.
Little Zuko snatched the phone when he heard his grandfather’s voice. “Grandpoo, grandpoo!”
“My little darling, do you miss grandpoo?” Rowan laughed happily. “Come back soon. Grandpoo will bring you to
catch fireflies!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“But grandpoo needs to talk to your mommy now. Can you wait?”
Zuko nodded, not sure if he understood. He handed the phone to his mother and buried himself in his father’s
embrace.
Cordelia guessed everything was set back in Southeast Aciatic.
“What’s up, dad?”
Rowan’s voice became serious again as he said, “I’m going to the police station. It’ll happen within the next two
days.”
“What’s wrong?”
He smiled. “Princess Lene will be ‘sick’ these two days, and everyone will blame me.”
Cordelia thought about it. She understood that he could only use himself as bait in order to lure the mastermind
out.
“So, is she safe?”
“I’ve spoken to Aurelia. Prince Alexander has removed half of the guards in the west palace. General Harris’ men
replaced them. They’ll be safe.”
“Okay.” Cordelia nodded. “I found something in Melorian too…”
“Okay, then come back soon. We must be quick not to leave any future troubles!”
She bit her lip and looked determined. After hanging up the phone, Zephyr grabbed her shoulders softly and
whispered, “Uncle Bond found something among the people. I found out through the translation that someone
witnessed a foreign woman give a baby to a couple in the slums back then.”
“The couple that we captured?”
“Most probably.”
She fell into deep thought for a moment. Not only had they captured the couple, but there were also Suzanne and
Joy. If they did not return soon and relied on calls, Carmella and Victoria would be suspicious.
“Hubby, should we release Suzanne and Joy?” asked Cordelia.
“Don’t worry. I’ve thought about this.” Zephyr smirked. “We shouldn’t just release them.
“Suzanne has no family. She only has a brother. He’s weak and still bedridden.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Joy has a secret son who is seven this year. As he’s a secret, he can’t get registered and enrolled in a public
school. The private schools in Southeast Aciatic are scarily expensive. That’s why her son still hasn’t gotten to
school.”
Cordelia was stunned. She was surprised that he had investigated so much within a short period!
“Wifey, we must hit the snake on the head!” He smiled. “It’s the same with humans!”
She smiled.
She would see people complaining about their husbands being terrible on the Internet, that they could not do
anything.
However, her husband was her best teammate. He could do everything, and he did it perfectly!
“Thank you, hubby!” Cordelia hugged him. “You’re so busy, yet you investigate this for me. I don’t know what I can
do to thank you!”
“I’m not asking much. Just marry me.” Zephyr smiled with allure. He whispered into her ear, “Register tonight. You
can do it in installments!”
“Zen!”
“Mama, n-no hugging!”
At that moment, Little Zuko squeezed between them, stopping them from hugging!
