Chapter 257


    Cordelia had mixed feelings. Her hands gripped the nket tighter.


    She had been seriously considering her rtionship with Zephyr during this time and recalled what


    the old female fortune teller they had met outside the hotel said—“He’s your husband within three


    meters but not anymore outside of that.”


    She suddenly felt choked. That old woman had said that they would separate sooner orter…


    She nced at Zephyr and saw the red string that was still tied around his wrist with the dim light.


    She hadughed at him for believing that back then, but he was not someone like that.


    He had chosen to believe it because he was too scared of losing her.

    Cordelia took a deep breath. She was the same. She was scared of not having him and losing him


    in her life.


    If life must separate them in those few meters, then she would fight with her all to walk into that


    damned distance!


    She slowly popped her head out of her duvet and said, as soft as the night, “Zephyr.”


    Zephyr jolted and perked his ears to listen but dared not turn around, so he kept the stiff position.


    “I’ll… most probably move to Centrolis in a few days.”


    “What?”


    Cordelia chortled. “Your ears aren’t functioning anymore?”


    Zephyr pinched himself to make sure that he was not dreaming and abruptly got up and stared at


    her.


    “Really?”


    “Mm…” She hummed in a low tone. “Carter’s going to university, and mom wants to live somewhere


    different, so we’ve decided to move to Centrolis.”


    He immediately wanted to say that he would take care of everything, but it was as if Cordelia had


    seen through him and said first, “Leave this alone. I’ve found us somewhere to live and sent a few


    resumes out. Somepanies should be asking me to attend interviews soon.”


    “Cordelia—”


    Her voice slowly went softer. “We’re just going to live in Centrolis.”


    Zephyr understood what she meant. She was just taking her mother to live somewhere different,


    and it was a coincidence that Carter got into the University of Centrolis.


    These had nothing to do with him. She was not going to Centrolis because of him.


    Zephyr was a little down, but he smiled shortly. At least they managed to close in on their distance.


    She was willing to live in the same city as him.


    As long as they were together, he could take care of and protect her.


    Cordelia called for him again, and he answered instinctively, “Yes, honey?”


    Cordelia blushed in the shadows and said softly, “Give me your phone.”


    “Huh?” Zephyr froze. Was his wife going to check what he had been up to? In that case, it proved


    that he was still in her heart…


    Delighted and surprised, he quickly passed his phone to her and told her that the password was her


    birthday. He then adjusted to afortable position andy down, cushioning his head on his arms


    and smiling happily as he watched her go through his phone.


    The screen illuminated her face and bounced off her shiny eyes. It also shone her tender and


    endearing look into his heart.


    “Uh…” He coughed. “Don’t just look at the texts. Check the emails and call history too. My frequent


    contacts are my trusted subordinates in Centrolis. All men! Then it’s Seth, Carter— Oh, and


    Nichs, he—”


    “Here you go.” Before he finished, Cordelia returned his phone to him.


    Zephyr froze. ‘So fast?’


    Cordelia’s voice was barely audible. “I didn’t go through your phone.”


    “Then what were you doing?”


    She pointed at the screen, and he realized that the date had changed.
