Chapter 532
“Oh, nothing.” X’s voice was calm. “Just sighing about how time flies. One should really take care of
their health when they get older.”

“Mom…” Cordelia bit her lips. The question was on the verge of her lips, and she asked in resolution
after a long time, “Have you and Uncle Irwin met?”
X froze before nodding lightly. “Yes.”
“What a coincidence!” Cordelia beamed at her in disbelief. “Do you know that he’s the one I’ve been
intending to introduce to you? Uncle Irwin also has a Siamese cat, and I wanted you to meet him with
Ginger thest time!”
Janine coughed while X remained silent. Zephyr kept Cordelia’s hand tightly in his.
Cordelia was baffled for a moment, sharply noticing that these people looked off, but she was unable to
tell what was wrong in particr.
Janine was meticulous. She knew that Cordelia was smart and would connect the dots when she went
back and thought about it. X would not be able to keep it a secret despite her intention. She might as
well kill the topic right now.
She smiled and went up to touch Cordelia’s smiling face. “Cordelia, didn’t your mom fall at home when
she was alone two days ago? I was thinking that you and Carter aren’t usually by her side, and she’s a
little lonely, so—”
“So you think Uncle Irwin’s a good match too, right?” Cordelia was delighted.
“Huh?” Janine blinked.
What she wanted to say was that “So you should hire a helper to take care of your mom at home!”
Unfortunately, Cordelia’s innocent and hopeful grin made it hard for her to speak her mind.
Rowan woke up groggily in the hospital ward. His originally good-looking face was so swollen that his
eyes were mere slits. Due to the swelling, he could only make mewls and gurgling sounds when he
opened his mouth, unable to speak a sentence.
Cordelia entered silently. When she saw his state, she felt bad for him but could not help the urge to
laugh.
“Uncle Irwin.” She sat by the bed, her gentle smile like the warm sun that shone right into Rowan’s
heart.
The others came in as well.
When Rowan saw them, he did his best to open his eyes bigger. No matter what he did, his eyes
remained narrow. The only difference was that they were thin lines when he did not attempt to widen
them, while they were thick lines when he did.
“Uncle Irwin, are you feeling okay?” Cordelia looked at him in concern. “Why did you still go to the cafe
when you’re allergic to coffee? It’s no wonder you didn’te when I asked you thest time. I didn’t
know you couldn’t have coffee!”
“Woo… wo…” Rowan could only make indecipherable sounds like this.
The moment Rowan saw Zephyr, he suddenly thought of what Liam had said and recalled that Zephyr
was going to abandon Cordelia to marry someone else. He could not help getting furious and struggled
to sit up and point at Zephyr.
“Woo— Urgh!”
“Uncle Irwin, what are you saying?”
Rowan was in distress. “Woo-woo-woo!”
Zephyr looked at him nonchntly.
The old geezer looked even more like Ginger with these sounds.
Zephyr snorted and threw him a mocking gaze.
“I know. Uncle Irwin must want to say that he wants to rest now, and we shouldn’t be disturbing him!”
“Woo!” Rowan’s face was red.
At the same time, Zephyr put his hand on Cordelia’s waist.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

Rowan kept crying out and iling his hands. Cordelia looked around and could not understand what
was going on.
While this all went on, X suddenly growled, “Stop whining!”
Rowan froze and quieted down instantly.
X rolled her eyes at him in dominance while the man on the bed hung his head andy back down
carefully, even covering his head with the nket.
The hospital ward became pin-drop silent at that moment.
Janine took in a deep breath and was the first to react. She tugged X’s sleeve to give her a look,
then turned to Cordelia, who was bewildered. “Uh… you and Zephyr head home first. Your mom and I
will stay here and take care of him!”
Cordelia furrowed her brows with questions in her mind. Her mother’s attitude toward Rowan did not
feel like they were meeting for the first time!
“Mom?” She wanted to ask something, but there was a knock on the door.
“Sir, Ms. Cordelia.” It was rk. After he greeted them and saw Janine, he bowed respectfully. “You’re
here too, Madam Baker.”
“What is it, Uncle rk?”
rk smiled. “Elder Mr. Hamerton asks for Mr. Zephyr to have dinner at the manor tonight.”
“Oh.” Cordelia nodded and looked at Zephyr. “Hurry up then!”
“It’s not just him.” rk looked at her lovingly. “Elder Mr. Hamerton also specifically asks that he must
bring you back, Ms. Cordelia. The car is downstairs. Pleasee with me.”
Janine breathed in relief, exchanging nces with Zephyr for him to hurry and leave with Cordelia.
Cordelia could only put her doubts aside and go to the manor with Zephyr.
…
The dinner dishes were not plenty in variety, but each of them was made with effort and intention,
looking incredibly intricate and luxurious.
Liam put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth after taking two bites of each dish. He had never had a
big appetite.
Zephyr noticed that his grandfather had recovered from his previous eating habits and heard from rk
that he had stopped taking the tonic recently. Rowan was also there daily to give him acupuncture, and
the old man was doing fine.
It relieved Zephyr.
He sneaked a peek at Cordelia and could not help smirking when he recalled Rowan’s swollen state.
“I heard that Mr. Irwin’s gotten sick?” Liam’s deep voice sounded as he looked up at Zephyr. “What
happened?”
“It’s an allergy,” Zephyr answered indifferently as he cut his steak. “It’s nothing serious, but he won’t be
able toe for acupuncture sessions these two days.”
“Mm, it’s more important to take care of his health.” Liam looked at rk. “Send my regards to Mr.
Irwin.”
“Yes, sir.”
Liam deadpanned, “Also, I realized that he looked like a puffer fish when he was here the other day.
Does he look more like one now that he has an allergy reaction?”
rk did not know what to say and nearly barked augh.
The old man always had the ability to mock someone with a deadpan look.
Liam spoke again. “rk, bring it in!”
rk nodded and swiftly went out.
Cordelia’s hands holding the cutlery paused. She felt a gaze on her. When she looked up, it was as
expected—Liam was watching her with aplicated look and a cryptic smile.
She jolted, vaguely feeling that what rk had gone off to take would have something to do with her.
