Chapter 202


    Both men cried in unison, “No!”


    Of course, it was futile. After all, the consequences of making their wives angry were far more


    serious than sleeping with another man.


    Later at night, when Nichs carried all the shopping bags back to the hotel listlessly and opened


    the door to see the soft bed in the room he had specially chosen… he almost blew up on the spot!


    Zephyr was much calmer inparison. He quietly took off his coat and took a bottle of red wine


    out of the cab, adding ice and slowly swirling it.


    “Zephyr, I don’t care if you want to do it or not. The two of us have to be united!” Nichs said


    through his gritted teeth.


    “From tomorrow onward, we will take care of our own woman. We can’t let the two of them stick to


    each other anymore, you hear me!?”


    Nichs slumped on the bed in a huff, wanting nothing more than to punch a hole through it.


    Zephyr was nonchnt with a smirk. He looked at the nightfall outside the window, and his gaze


    darkened soon.


    ‘Southeast Aciatic and the Irwins… Rowan Irwin and the pharmaceuticalpany…’ These kept


    reying in his mind.


    He was clear about the reason Matthew wanted to harm him, but why was Rowan involved in this?


    Could the hundreds of millions of dors of insurance proceeds tempt him?


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    The Irwins'' influence was no greater than the Hamertons’, but the industry they were in made the


    most money—pharmaceuticals and information technology. They did notck money.


    There must be another reason Irwin was doing this!


    …


    Cordelia was smiling a lot more after they returned from Mengasas. Zephyr was relieved, but he


    received Frederic’s call.


    “Z, Elder Mr. Hamerton got his hands on your statement. I think you best make a trip back to


    Centrolis.”


    “Mm, got it.” Zephyr was expecting it. He knew this day woulde when he asked Frederic to


    draft the statement.


    He hung up and looked at Cordelia, who was still cleaning the house, with a smile. The girl would


    never stop. Everywhere in the house felt like work for her.


    She was currently collecting clothes on the balcony. The drying rack was a little high, and she had


    to stand on tiptoe and reach out with her arms. She was only wearing arge T-shirt at home to feel


    less warm—it barely covered her bottom.


    Zephyr gulped and felt dry in the throat. He went over and effortlessly reached for the piece of


    clothing she had been trying.


    Cordelia fell into his embrace in surprise. Zephyr wrapped an arm around her waist with quick


    reflexes, pressing both of them together. She could feel his temperature rising.


    “Darling.” His husky voice was smiling. “Enough chores. Let’s rest early tonight.”


    Cordelia looked down with a smile and pink cheeks.


    Although she would not refuse each time he wanted to do it, today was different.


    “Wait for me to finish cleaning up? Seth told me that mom’s doing well these days, and she can be


    discharged to rest at home.


    “I have to hurry and prepare what she needs to send them over.”


    Zephyr tried to persuade her, rubbing her hand. “Can’t you do that tomorrow?”


    “Tomorrow has tomorrow’s tasks.” Cordelia hurried to check on her new dessert when the oven


    dinged.


    She would prepare the materials she needed the next day every day, and the little cafe was making


    a profit now under her hard work.


    Zephyr stood rooted and scratched his head, letting out a long sigh. If he had known, he would not


    have opened up the cafe for her! Those cakes and cookies now upied the time that should


    belong to him!


    “Darling, get me a few tes!”


    “Oh,ing.”


    Zephyr went to retrieve the tes in the kitchen and leaned against the door to watch her.
