Chapter 221


    Cordelia was stunned.


    This man seemed to have a lot of feelings recently, the kind where he felt happy and blissful.


    Cordelia smiled and covered his mouth softly with her hand.


    “Keep it to yourself,” she said. “Don’t ever say it out loud, or it’ll go away!”


    “Honey, I want to tell you something after Ie back this time.”


    Cordelia could not help but ask, seeing that he looked serious, “What is it?”


    “Um… It’s a long story,” he said. “You’re still clueless about my family situation despite us being


    married for a year. I still have a family. Actually, we just don’t keep frequent contact.”


    Cordelia was puzzled. When they married, she understood that the Grists had gone down. Marcus’


    parents were both deceased, and he was a thug who fought and caused trouble.


    She did not expect that there were still others in the Grists. Come to think of it, she understood it. If


    someone in the family had gone to prison, regr people would stay as far away as possible from


    them.


    Cordelia chuckled and asked him softly, “Why are you only telling me now? You should have told


    me earlier. I can visit your family with you!

    “Right, where are they? Are they not in Jangasas?”


    Zephyr shook his head.


    “This is what you want to tell me?” Cordelia looked at him tenderly. “Do you want to contact your


    rtives again but can’t find it in you to do that?”


    “Um…”


    “Don’t worry!” Cordelia grinned. “Focus on your training andpetition these few days. I’ll get the


    presents for your rtives ready. We’ll go visit them one by one after youe back, okay?”


    “You’re willing to meet them with me?”


    “Of course! Your family’s my family too!”


    Zephyr held her hand, having decided that he woulde clean after taking care of things.


    “Honey, I won’t be away for long. Just two to three days. Stay home and wait for me!”


    “Mm!”


    “When Ie back, I’ll tell you everything about my family and me.”


    “Okay!” Cordelia rubbed Zephyr’s face with a smile.


    She checked to see if she had missed anything a few more times, and Zephyr put the suitcase into


    the trunk.


    Centrolis was not too far away from Jangasas, so he wanted to drive back.


    Cordelia said that cars were men’s other wives. He understood it now. As long as the car was


    around, it felt like she was apanying him, and he felt fearless.


    “Darling, be careful on the way. Drive slowly!”


    “Mm.” Zephyr waved. “Go home!”


    Cordelia stood still until the car slowly faded out of her sight before she turned back to the stairs.


    It was then she received a call.


    “Ms. Cordelia?”


    Cordelia was caught unaware. “You are?”


    “Ms. Cordelia, I’m Wendy!”


    Cordelia made a sound of realization. It was a helper of the Jenners. It seemed that they did not


    know that she was not a Jenner heiress yet.


    “What’s the matter, Wendy?”


    “Someone sent a letter this morning.” Wendy said gently, “It’s from Centrolis. I think it’s some… Uh,


    an invitation! Your name is written on the envelope.


    “When are you free to collect it, Ms. Cordelia?”
