Chapter 432


    “Just be patient, Aunt Tanner,” Cordelia said with a smile. “Stay as you are for now.”


    Mandy looked anxious.


    “I own half of the Tanner Group… To be precise, 2/3 of it is mine! Before Joe married me, he was


    nothing! The wedding gift I brought along filled up the gap and hole in the Tanners!


    “But he betrayed me and raised his illegitimate daughter right under my nose for 20 years! He


    yed me like a fool!” The more Mandy spoke, the more agitated she was as she hit the side of the


    bed with clenched fists.


    Once she thought about this, she was repulsed and regretful.


    She had taken care of an illegitimate daughter but overlooked her birth daughter’s feelings for so


    many tears. She was not worthy as a mother!


    “Aunt Tanner, don’t be like this.” Cordelia quickly stopped her. “Don’t worry. Nelly won’t have the


    Tanner Group, and Mr. Tanner isn’t the sole decision-maker in thepany. There are other


    shareholders!


    “What you have to do now is to eat and sleep well and take care of yourself properly.” Zephyr


    looked at her. “You can only fight them when you’re healthy.”

    Mandy looked up at them with a moved gaze. Despite what happened, she did not expect that


    Zephyr and Cordelia would be willing to help her and Kelly. Everything was moving in a positive


    direction now, and she believed that Nelly would not get to gloat for long.


    Zephyr told her seriously, “Aunt Tanner, we’re here today to visit you and tell you about this so that


    you’re mentally prepared. When we need you, we hope you can help us with your all!”


    “Zephyr, Ms. Cordelia…” Mandy’s voice was quivering. “Don’t say that. You’re my saviors! Let me


    know anytime you need me. I’ll give it my best shot!”


    …


    With how everything was progressing, these few days were exceptionally quiet.


    It was Cordelia’s day off on Friday, and she slept until 10:00 a.m., going out to bask in the sun in her


    slippers after having a quick breakfast.


    The fall sunlight was warm, and she sat on the swing leisurely. Ginger came over to rub against her


    but ran off when it saw Zephyr.


    Cordelia turned to smile at him and leaned against his shoulderzily when he came over and sat


    next to her.


    “Kelly’s recovering well.” Zephyr wrapped an arm around her. “Looks like Mr. Irwin lives up to his


    title.”


    “Of course, he’s the president of the Southeast Aciatic Medical Association! And he’s good at


    treating various obscure illnesses. The medicinal drugs Irwin Pharmaceuticals makes each year


    have saved countless people!”


    Zephyr watched Cordelia quietly.


    The girl seemed to have gotten much closer to Rowan. He did not know when it started, but she


    looked like a fan whenever Rowan’s name was mentioned. That sense of pride was as if he was her


    father.


    Zephyr frowned and did not feel good about it.


    “Hah, yeah.”


    He glossed it over and wanted to divert the topic, but Cordelia continued. “Remember when we


    went to Mengasas thest time? We saw a lot of medicines from Irwin Pharmaceuticals on that


    night market street. The vendor said they can treat everything!”


    “I remember…” Zephyr replied softly and ruffled her hair. “You didn’t know about my identity back


    then.”


    Cordelia looked up at him and smiled sweetly. She stretched and snuggled closer against him, the


    past scenes ying in her mind like a movie.


    It had actually been two years since they got together.


    She sighed. “Time flies.”


    Zephyr pressed a kiss on her hair. The sweet fragrance on her distracted him.


    “I still remember the night I married you. It was so windy and stormy, and the house was all broken


    down…” she murmured. “You were scowling too. It was scary.”


    ‘Was I?’ Zephyr paused. ‘I scowled? How could I bear to scowl at her? She must have seen it


    wrong.’


    “Don’t even think about retorting!” Cordelia red at him. “You were icy when we just got married


    anyway and kept punching the sandbag. You didn’t even know how to cook, and I had to make sure


    you were fed and clothed!”


    “But you looked happy doing it!”


    Zephyr cackled and pinched her nose.


    “Tell me, why did you take care of me so willingly?” His voice was low. “Was it because you liked


    what you saw?”
