Chapter 474


    Those few days, Cordelia kept Zephyr at arm’s length and was lukewarm to him. She also took a work


    leave from Imperial Media and went home to take care of X.


    After X heard about the reason for their fight, sheughed so hard that she nearly poured the whole


    bottle of water into her sulents.


    “That’s it?” She poked Cordelia’s head and whined. “You’re growing more insensible the older you get!”


    “Mom…” Cordelia rubbed her head.


    As she calmed down, she also thought she was a little oversensitive this time. It was just that women


    seemed to have the most urate sixth sense, and she felt that Zephyr was unlike how he always was


    that night. His words seemed to imply something else.

    “Zephyr’s just expressing his thoughts. Do you have to think so much into it?”


    “But he mentioned my father…” Cordelia swallowed the rest of her words studying X’s expression.


    X looked nonchnt, but there was an almost unnoticeable quiver in her hands that were watering


    the nts.


    She looked at Cordelia affectionately. “Silly girl, Zephyr’s, unlike your father.”


    This was Cordelia’s first time hearing her mother bring up her father on her own initiative. She was also


    immensely curious about him.


    She probed carefully, unable to suppress her curiosity, “Mom, back when dad abandoned us… did he


    really have some kind of difficulty he could not help?”


    After a moment, X forced a smile and said, “Yeah.” Her expression had dimmed a little.


    “Do you hate him?”


    “Hate?” X was surprised but shook her head with a smile.


    She had probably never hated Rowan. When she found out that he was just using her to take revenge


    on the Irwins, she was sad and devastated but never hateful. Hatred solved nothing—it would only


    push someone into an abyss repeatedly.

    “What?”


    X’s gaze was gentle as she told her softly, “If you see him in the future, don’t hate him.”


    Cordelia was taken aback. Why should she not hate him? That man had abandoned them first. To


    cate her mother, however, she nodded lightly.


    “As for Zephyr, your misunderstanding’s outrageous.” X smiled. “Give him a call and tell him that


    you’re going home for dinner tonight!”


    “No!” Cordelia pouted and hugged her mother from the back, pressing her cheek on her mother’s back.


    “I’m having dinner with you tonight!”


    “You’ve been home for three days!” X purposely put on a straight face. “I’m bored of what you make!


    Hurry up now, shoo!”


    “Mom, ouch! I cook so well, and you’re bored of it? Zephyr eats them every day and doesn’t think…”


    The moment Cordelia said that she met X’s smiling gaze. She flushed and took the watering can to


    water the nts.


    “Alright, are you trying to drown my nts!?”


    …


    At the same time, Zephyr was rushing to Imperial Media.


    Robert drove as he peeked at his boss’ expression from the rearview mirror from time to time. The


    latter’s glower was rather frightening, much more than the few times he had interrupted his good times!


    When Robert identally caught Zephyr looking his way, he straightened up immediately and switched


    between the brake and elerator incredibly smoothly without any hint of a bump.


    “S-Sir…” Robert tried calling him.


    “Speak!” Zephyr sounded impatient.


    Robert licked his lips and tried to sound less shaky. “Uh, Madam Baker called back.”


    “Cordelia went to work today?”


    “No, Madam Baker said that… Ms. Cordelia took her annual leave.”


    Zephyr almost flipped the car roof off. “Why did she allow it!? Hasn’t she always been annoyed by her


    employees asking her to sign their annual leave applications? Doesn’t she scold them over it all the


    time!?”
