Chapter 454


    “But people will talk as you two live together without being married.”


    X advised softly, “Cordelia, you’re a girl, and reputation is important! You didn’t know his identity


    in the past and thought that you had married him. You can’t be at fault for staying together. Now that


    you know and still want to be with him, you should get married sooner!”


    “Mom!” Cordelia grinned cheekily. “You’re pretty old school!”


    “I’m not old school. I want to protect you!” X held her hand. “It’s not official or legitimate so long


    as you aren’t married. I’m worried about you being hurt.”


    Cordelia felt a pinch in her nose. She understood that it was due to the unhappy experience with


    William in the past that X was exceptionally sensitive to the term legitimate.


    She snuggled her mother affectionately. Growing up, she rarely had the chance to act cute and coy


    with X.


    X patted her shoulders with a loving smile. Like many naggy mothers, she would keep nagging


    about their marriage.


    “Alright, I know.” Cordelia cated softly. “I’ll put the wedding on schedule after I’m done with my


    busy schedule for this period, okay?”

    “Mm, you’ve got to keep your word!”


    “Don’t worry!”


    X remembered something else and said, “Oh yeah, Cordelia… You and him… I mean, when


    you’re together, is he… Is he nice to you?”


    Cordelia was confused listening to her mother.


    X was being implicit, so she could not help giggling when she saw her daughter being


    bewildered.


    “I mean, does he do it with you often?”


    Cordelia froze before blushing in an instant once she understood it.


    “Mom! How could you ask this!?”


    “What not to ask about this? I’m your mom. Of course you can talk about it with me!” The education


    X received had always been modern and open. Sex was never a taboo topic.


    “I just want to remind you not to wear yourself out. As for prevention, you two talk about it! Of


    course, I’d love to have a grandson…”


    “Mom!” Cordelia was so close to stomping her foot.


    “Mom, I’ll get it done for you!” The door opened suddenly to reveal a man walking in with a grin.


    The triumph on his face waspletely the opposite of how he was usually stern and cold.


    Cordelia froze on the spot while Zephyr hugged her and smiled at X.


    “Mom, don’t worry. You won’t just have a grandson. You’ll get a granddaughter too!”


    Cordelia gave him a hard elbow.


    X was beaming widely once she saw her son-inw and was now over the moon upon hearing


    what he said.


    “Zephyr, you came in time! Come, take a look at my sulents…”


    Zephyr raised his brows and smirked at Cordelia.


    “I’ll go look at mom’s sulents with her first,” he said softly. “After we go home… let’s fulfill her


    wish!”


    Cordelia punched him, and her blush intensified. The man must have been too free recently to think


    about that all day long!


    …


    Liam had changed his mind about Cordelia to a certain extent, inviting her for a visit almost every


    other day.


    Cordelia kept her mother’s advice to heart—no matter when it was, a girl should be reserved and


    composed. Only when she held a high standard would others not look down on her. Those who


    used to hate her, especially. It was a skill to adjust one’s mannerisms to interact with them.


    Cordelia had indirectly rejected most of the invitations. At the one tea party she went to, she only


    exchanged pleasantries with Liam, keeping a clear head and answering smoothly and politely.


    Liam brought her up to rk from time to time. “The girl by Zephyr’s side… She’s rather wonderful.”


    rk grinned. The day had finallye. “Of course she’s wonderful! How could she not be when


    she’s someone Mr. Zephyr likes?”


    “Are you… saying I have bad foresight indirectly?”


    It was because Liam liked Nelly before this.
