Chapter 241


    Was Zephyr so cowardly that he needed these people to boost his courage to step into his own


    home?


    “Cordelia, take a nap,” Linda said softly. “I’ll go buy some stuff downstairs.”


    Cordelia nodded and tucked herself in, closing her eyes tiredly.


    Linda closed the door carefully and went downstairs. She crossed her arms as she approached the


    two men.


    “Mar—” She bit her lips and changed what she was going to say. “Mr. Hamerton, Cordelia’s just


    going to sleep. If you go back now, move around quietly. The wounds on her body are healing, but


    I’m afraid it’ll take a long time for the wound in her heart to heal.”


    Zephyr’s expression was solemn as he nodded. “Thank you.”


    “No need to thank me.” Linda looked at him. “She can’t just dump you either. She just can’t ept it


    for the time being. Talk to her slowly. She’ll get around soon.”


    “Mm.”


    “But remember, if you dare lie to Cordelia or hurt her again, I’ll get justice for her even if I have to


    die with you!”


    “Cough!” Nichs quickly stepped up. “Linda, it won’t happen. Nothing so serious—”


    “Not serious? Cordelia was on the verge of death this time!”


    Nichs nced at her and said nothing before looking at Zephyr.


    Zephyr went upstairs and opened the door to his house softly.


    …


    Linda stood there for a while. There was no noise from upstairs like everything was normal.


    Rtively relieved, she was going to leave when Nichs stopped her.


    “What?” She red at him.


    Nichs was acting really weird today. He was usually smiling so much when he saw her that all his


    features were scrunched together, but he was exceptionally serious today.


    His gaze was solemn, and his presence was strong as if he could summon a storm at any time.


    Linda frowned and felt slightly timid. Perhaps this Nichs was the real him.


    “S-Speak up!” Linda put on a brave front. “What do you want?”


    Nichs smiled as he stepped forward and looked her right in the eyes.


    “You said men are all liars in the hospitalst time. I refuse to agree with this, so I’m going to fulfill


    my promise today!”

    “What do you mean?”


    Nichs pulled his ne out of his cor and held the ring on it.


    “When you gave me this, I told you that I’d give you a diamond one in the future!


    “I’ll have you know that men don’t lie. At least not me! Let’s go. We’re getting one right now!”


    “You’re crazy!” Linda red at him again.


    As she was about to leave, he blocked her way on the left. She went toward the right, and he went


    right as well.


    Linda finally blew her top and shouted, “Nichs Thompson, move away!”


    “Linda Quimby!” Nichs emphasized his words as well and asked her through gritted teeth, “Are


    you sure you’re not going to buy it with me?”


    “No!”


    “Fine! Bring me the stuff!” Nichs growled, and his underlings took a step forward in unison.


    Linda was dumbfounded.’ What stuff? Is this b*stard going to hit me!?’


    All she saw was Nichs taking a washboard from his underling and mming it on the ground. He


    was still ring at her when he knelt down right on the board!


    Linda was so shocked that she took a few steps back.


    “Linda Quimby, you listen now! If you don’t buy the ring with me, I’ll pester you every day with this


    washboard! I’ll kneel wherever you go!


    “One day, I’ll break this board from kneeling on it so much! Let’s see if you dare reject me then!”
