Chapter 307


    Zephyr’s car slowly drove into the road in the Bayers'' residence.


    He held Cordelia’s hand all the way and smiled at her. “Don’t worry. The Bayers are nice people.


    You can tell just by looking at Josiah.


    “His parents are all warm and kind people. They’re honest and open.”


    Cordelia was curious. “Then how do they adapt to the conspiracies and deceptions in the business


    world?”


    Zephyr stroked her hair. “The best way of survival is to face changes by remaining persistent.”


    “Oh, so I have to stay persistent to face the changes when I meet your momter?” Cordelia


    chortled. “Stay who I am and face her with my most honest self. I think she’ll ept me.”


    “Of course.”


    Zephyr rubbed noses with her. The faint fragrance she had rushed into his nose again. Delirious, his


    hand grabbed her waist and began to have a mind of its own…


    “Don’t…” Cordelia nudged him away.


    Zephyr smirked and kissed her on the lips instead.


    Robert, who heard the noise in front, wanted to raise the board that would separate them, but he


    identally pressed the wrong button and lowered the window instead.


    As a gust of wind blew in, it ruffled Zephyr’s hair. Robert was horrified and quickly raised the


    window, catching a glimpse of Zephyr’s glower from the rearview mirror.


    Robert grimaced. Due to his nervousness, his foot stepped on the wrong pedal and stomped on the


    brake.


    Zephyr scowled harder.


    Robert turned back with a wince. “Sir, we’re here.”


    Zephyr gave him a death re and stayed silent while Cordelia blushed with a small smile holding


    his hand. It took her a few tugs to get him out of the car.


    The Bayers'' residence was unusually merry today. Their guests were elites with high social standing


    as well. The Bayers were hospitable and liked kids, so yful children were running around and


    ying at the front of the house.


    A big group of kids was chasing around with balloons. A boy around four to five years old was


    scurrying behind them with a piece of cake. It was obvious that the boy could not catch up and


    whizzed through the crowd out of distress, coincidentally running into Zephyr, who had just gotten


    out of the car…


    “This boy!” Zephyr was exasperated. The whole piece of cake had mmed right against his suit.


    The boy knew that he had done something wrong and stared at both of them adorably. Cordelia did


    not find it in herself to scold him, so she let him off to y at the side with a stroke on his face.


    “Fortunately, I didn’t wear the one you got me,” Zephyr said with a chuckle. “Or I’d beat that boy up


    good!”


    “How old are you to still be petty with kids!?”


    Cordelia wiped him down, but there was too much cream—the suit was as good as gone.


    Robert quickly took the spare out of the car.


    “I’ll go get changed first,” Zephyr said softly. “Just stay here. Don’t wander off. I’ll be back very


    soon!”


    Cordelia nodded with a smile.


    The Bayers'' residence was like a maze, and there were so many guests. Naturally, she was not


    going anywhere. She recalled the interviewee Janine had mentioned to her, but she did not pay


    attention when the woman wrote down the address.

    Looking at the situation here, it might not end early today.


    Cordelia thought about it and pulled her phone out to text Janine.


    [Aunt Janine, I’m sorry. I might not be able…]


    “Cordelia?” A familiar voice rang from behind her before she could finish typing the text.


    Cordelia turned back in surprise.


    Janine was dressed to the nines as she walked over with a flute of champagne, looking delightfully


    surprised.


    “Cordelia, why didn’t you tell me that you’re here!?”


    “Aunt Janine?” Cordelia was astonished. “Why are you here?”
