Chapter 548


    “Mom…” Cordelia called out weakly a momentter. She watched her mom carefully. “A-Are you


    alright?”


    X was full of energy. “Mm-hmm, I’m alright!” She brought the apple that she had yet to finish peeling


    over while speaking. She pierced the knife on the apple—it was majestic.


    Cordelia kept quiet.


    From what she remembered, her mom had been a soft person, apart from the time when she was ill.


    However, her mind had been a mess back then. She did not know what she did when she was throwing


    tantrums.


    She had never been so strict since she felt better now.


    X looked at Rowan, who had be a good boy from her roar. He buried his head quietly while


    sitting by the bed and rubbing his palms. The bed was quite high, and their legs did not touch the floor.


    Their legs were dangling.


    He looked like Ginger when Zephyr used to scream at it.


    Cordelia covered her mouth to smile secretly. ‘Hmm… He looks like Humpty-Dumpty.’

    She could not hold back and almostughed out loud. At that moment, a warm, big hand was ced


    on her back, and she was stunned.


    She saw Zephyr smiling at her and saying to Rowan softly, “Don’t worry, sir. My grandpa wants us to


    get the certificate first so that he can hand down the Hamertons to her legally.


    “There’ll definitely be a wedding ceremony, and it’ll be grand. It’s already in nning. As there are


    many details, we dare not be reckless. That’s why it’s taking some time.”


    Cordelia was quite shocked.


    Zephyr’s tone and behavior… It was not how he usually treated Rowan! It was his first time being so


    patient with him.


    Meanwhile, Zephyr felt a squeeze in his heart. Perhaps he imagined his future after seeing X’s


    majesty… Connecting with his current status in the Hamertons—he was not loved by his grandfather


    and mother—he suddenly felt emphatic with Rowan.


    It felt like they were in the same boat. Therefore, his tone became soft instinctively.


    Life was hard. Why would a man trouble another man?


    He released a heavy sigh…


    Rowan looked at him, and his lips quivered. There seemed to be a sparkle in his eyes.


    There seemed to be many things hiding the moment they locked eyes.


    At that moment, their souls were hugging, and they had internal monologues with each other.


    “Father-inw!”


    “Son-inw!”


    “We’re family!”


    “Yes! I’ll treat you like my son when you marry into the Irwins!”


    “Err, I think you got that wrong. Forget it. Father-inw, since I’m your son, can you give me an


    allowance?”


    “I’m sorry, my son. I’ve just given thepany stamp to your mother-inw!”


    “You b*stard!”


    …


    “Cordelia,e with me.”


    X’s voice snapped the daydreaming duo back to reality.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

    Cordelia was stunned. She locked eyes with her gentle mother when she lifted her eyes. “You’re


    getting married, so there are some things that I want to talk to you about. Come with me. I need to


    speak with you alone.”


    “Okay.”


    Cordelia held X’s arm and walked out of the ward.


    Zephyr and Rowan were the only ones left in the ward. The former felt awkward. Just when he was


    catching up to them, Rowan got him to stop.


    “Hey, where are you going!?”


    Rowan looked at him like he was an idiot.


    “Thedies are talking, so why are you following?”


    Zephyr’s face turned grim. His eyes were ferocious as he stood where he was.


    “Mothers have to pass down their experiences as a mother and a wife before their daughters get


    married,” Rowan conveniently served him tea while smiling. “This is the tradition!”
