Chapter 385


    Cordelia blinked her big eyes back at him.


    Zephyr took her back to their room by her hand, took some documents out of the drawer, and put


    them in front of her.


    Cordelia could not help the shock after looking at them.


    “This is the blueprint of the western suburbs''nd,” Zephyr exined to her. “These are the


    partnership strategies of the project.”


    He flipped to thest page, and Cordelia was surprised to see that her signature was on there. She


    looked at him in disbelief while he crouched in front of her and stroked her hair gently with a foolish


    smile.


    She recalled that he had given her a few documents to sign back at the dressing room of the


    signing event thest time, iming he hoped she could fight alongside him and share the risks.


    She had just skimmed through the documents briefly because she trusted him. She did not care


    what was written in the documents and signed without any hesitation.


    “Actually, it’s not sharing the risks,” Zephyr said gently. “I’ve already assessed the project’s risks. I


    mainly asked you to sign because… you’re the boss of these projects. I’m just an employee. These


    things have to be decided by the boss.”


    “What did you say?” Cordelia’s mind went nk.


    She saw Zephyr’s gentle smile and her reflection—only her—in his deep eyes.


    “It’s not just this plot ofnd.” Zephyr continued. “Thesepanies too.”


    He continued to show her a few other documents.


    Cordelia’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the name of the shareholder on the documents


    with widened eyes. Her breathing was caught, and she felt like she was dreaming. Donmein, Lyan,


    Weston… These were all hispanies.


    “These are yours now.”


    Zephyr looked at her quietly.


    Cordelia’s lips moved to say something, but she could not get anything out.


    “Cordelia, it’s not true that you have nothing backing you up. I told you, you have me.”


    It took a moment of silence from Cordelia before she lowered her head. So many words were


    caught in her throat, but only one escaped in a murmur ultimately—“Sorry…”


    Zephyr held her hand and sat next to her to pull her into his embrace.


    “I was being unreasonable again.” She med herself. “I shouldn’t throw a tantrum with you for no


    reason.”


    Zephyr chortled. If this could be considered a tantrum, those girls who were actually unreasonable


    would possess the power to destroy the world.


    “Silly.” He pinched her nose. “You don’t have to be so sensible. I told you, I’m willing to indulge you


    like I would my daughter.”


    ‘Hmm? Daughter?’


    Cordelia froze before punching his chest.


    “You’re taking advantage of me again!” She giggled. “Bullying me for not having a dad?”


    Both of them messed around for a bit, and Zephyr hugged Cordelia again.


    The spacious couch was close to the window, so both of them looked up at the starry sky from


    where theyy.


    Since they got to the topic of father, Zephyr asked, “Cordelia, have you thought about what your


    birth father’s like?”


    Cordelia blinked and was quiet for a bit. Her head was against his chest, and she shook it.

    “Can’t imagine it…”


    He stroked her hair. “Mom’s never told you?”


    “Mom never speaks about it,” she replied softly. “I’ve never asked either. I’m afraid her illness will


    rpse if my questions remind her of unhappy stuff in the past.”


    The truth was, she had imagined it before. Which girl had never wished to be their father’s


    little princess?


    Cordelia chuckled and said, “I thought that William Jenner’s my father when I was younger. When


    Yelena bullied me sometimes, I really wished he’d stand up for me and bring justice… once, just


    once would be enough.


    “But it never happened, not even once.”


    Zephyr’s heart clenched for her, and he hugged her tighter.


    “So, I don’t fantasize about my birth father being someone capable,” Cordelia said gently. “I think…


    he might be a regr guy, not tall, a little plump, and have a kind smile. That’s enough! But he’ll do


    everything within his power to protect his children. That he’s the best dad in the world!”


    Zephyr smiled and pressed a kiss on her forehead. He would love to know what his future father-in-


    law was like too.


    “Maybe he isn’t someone regr?” he asked softly. “Maybe he’s like me, with superpowers?”


    “What do you mean he’s like you? Why are weing back to you again!?” Cordelia pinched him


    with a giggle. “You’re doing this on purpose!”


    Zephyr let her pinch him and did not counter, wearing a pampering smile all along.


    Both of them wrestled on the couch. As he turned, he sank deeper into the couch, and Cordelia


    pressed against him closer. It was a narrow space, after all.


    Cordelia snuggled against his chest and felt his passionate heartbeats as she met his fiery gaze.


    “Zephyr…” Her voice was soft and endearing. “Will you regret being so nice to me?”


    Zephyr was startled. “When you didn’t know my identity and thought that I was a broke ex-inmate,


    did you think about regretting being nice to me one day?”


    “Of course not!” Cordelia answered without hesitation. “You’re my husband, someone I’m spending


    the rest of my life with!”


    “That’s right.” He smiled. “This is my answer too.”


    Cordelia felt her eyes go hot. She nced at the documents scattered on the coffee table. Tears


    welled up in her eyes, but sheughed in delight.


    “Look like I’m really lucky!” She joked. “The most expensive thing I’ve bought you is that car, right?


    Heh, a car in exchange for so many assets… When Aunt Helen first saw me, she said I had a


    wealthy empress’ life. That’s so urate!”


    Zephyr poked her head with a smile.


    “It’s actually not just because of you that I put these assets under your name.”


    “Hmm?”


    He cleared his throat to exin, “If one day I could meet my father-inw… I’d have to show my


    sincerity to be his son-inw, right?”


    Cordelia chuckled. “I see! Hey, then your sincerity isn’t worth much!”


    “You call this not much?”


    “Mm, not at all.” Cordelia flipped through the documents like a little money-grubber. “Look at this


    project. The total investment is only 7,000,000 dors! You actually dare put this little investment


    under this boss’ name?”


    “Oh…” Zephyr narrowed his eyes and fidgeted while his hands began to roam.


    Cordelia’s attention was on the documents, so she did not notice his action at all.


    “Since our Ms. Cordelia isn’t happy with this investment, then… I have another project to talk to you


    about…”


    Cordelia looked at him. “What is it?”


    The man smirked.


    The night grew more silent as it gotter. The moon hid in the clouds too, getting shy…
