Chapter 287


    Cordelia did as she was told and felt Zephyr flipping her hand over. Her palm faced up, and she felt


    somethingnding in her hand.


    When she opened her eyes, she saw a ne in it.

    Precious sapphires were etched into stars and the moon, hanging off a tinum ne.


    His voice was deep and gentle. “Cordelia, I’ve plucked the stars and moon for you.


    “What about you? Will you marry me? Let’s not part forever, okay?”


    Cordelia pressed her lips together, tears brimming from her eyes. Zephyr hugged her and softly


    stroked her hair.


    “You don’t have to answer me now,” he said considerately. “I’ll give you time as long as you


    remember that I’m always here waiting for you.”


    Cordelia nodded and sobbed herself silly against his chest.


    “Zephyr.”


    “Hmm?”


    “I can actually answer you now…”


    Zephyr’s heart lurched as he listened quietly.


    “I do need some time to prepare myself.”


    She looked up at him with a sincere smile.


    “I also need some time to explore this world. I hope that when I marry you, I can stand with you and


    be as wonderful as you are.


    “So… stay right there and don’t move, okay? I’ll walk to you one day!”


    “Okay!” Zephyr looked her in the eyes and promised her seriously.


    Both of them exchanged a smile while the drones glowed in different colored lights in the dark and


    illuminated the sea and sky.


    Even if it was foggy going forward, he could still collect all the stars in the sky for her—and he would


    stand by his side proudly, letting the world know that she was worth it.


    …


    Janine had just arrived in Centrolis when rk took her to Zen Residence. She was filled with


    mixed feelingsing back this time.


    She did not want to enter Hamerton Manor at all. Even when Zen Residence was far from the


    manor, she might still run into Henry and Kate. If everyone got awkward when they met, they might


    as well not meet.


    In spite of it, she would be worried about Zephyr if she did note over. That Jenner woman too…


    What kind of person was she that could bewitch her son into wanting to give up on the Hamerton


    empire?


    Janine sucked in a cold breath and rolled the car window down to get some air.


    The car soon stopped in front of Zen Residence.


    rk said respectfully, “Madam Baker, the room here at Mr. Zephyr’s residence has been cleaned


    several times and set up like how you’d like it. I’ll carry your suitcase up now.”


    “Let the helpers do this.” Janine removed her sunsses and said, “rk, you’ve been great to


    Zephyr since he was a child. I’m thankful for you.”


    “Madam Baker, it’s what I should do.”


    “It’s just, I know this child…” Janine paused. “No one has the ability to persuade him in things he’s


    made up his mind in!”


    rk frowned. “You’re referring to?”


    Janine did not say anything. As she scanned the surroundings, she discovered a regr sedan in


    the residence. Curious, she asked, “rk, that car…”


    “Oh, Mr. Zephyr drove it back from Jangasas.”


    “Jangasas?” Janine could guess as much and snickered.


    The lowest-ranked long-term employee in the Hamertons would not even nce at this kind of car


    twice!


    Despite that, this car must have attracted a lot of attention since it was parked in Zen Residence. If


    Matthew and Yale found out, she wondered how they would gossip about Zephyr behind them!


    Janine thought about it and asked, “rk, how are Matthew and Yale Hamerton doing recently?”
