Chapter 565


    Cordelia paused and said tly, “Nothing.”


    Rowan thought it was strange. He wanted to ask more but dared not. He could only secretly look at his


    daughter.


    However, she seemed like she was really okay.


    He pursed his lips and chuckled. “Oh, that’s great… It’s noon, so why don’t I take you guys to lunch?


    Then I can talk more with Carter. Hehe…


    “What would you guys like to eat?” He looked at Cordelia in a fawning manner. “You’ll pick, Cordelia!”


    “No.” Cordelia paused and lifted her eyes to look at him. “I’m going to look for Zephyr. He left home


    early in the morning. I haven’t seen him today.”


    “What?” Rowan’s expression changed. “Did he not return home?”


    “No,” Cordelia said softly. “He just left early.”


    “Ah, I’m sure he wouldn’t dare not toe home!” Rowan was confident. “Cordelia, tell me if he


    doesn’te home. I’ll…”


    Cordelia stared into his eyes, and her voice was soft as each word struck his heart like a stone. “Mr.


    Irwin, aren’t you being a little too nosy?”


    Rowan was stumped. He stared nkly at her, unable to utter a word.


    That was right. What right did he have to pry? Who was he to do that?


    To Cordelia, he was just the president of a medical association from Southeast Aciatic. He was just a


    partner in the joint hospital project.


    Even though they had a close rtionship, he was just the boyfriend that she wanted to introduce to


    her mother.


    He was just an uncle that she did not hate.


    That was it.


    Rowan’s eyes dimmed, and his heart hurt, but he showed a submissive smile to Cordelia.


    Carter shook her and signaled her. “What are you doing, sis? Why are you talking to Uncle Irwin like


    that?”


    “If he were our dad, it would make sense that we could tell him the troubles that we’re going through.


    He could im justice for us…” Her voice was shaky. “But is he our dad?”


    Carter lowered his head and murmured softly, “W-We don’t have a father.”


    “Yes, we don’t!” Cordelia suddenly raised her voice.


    Rowan was shocked. He had sweat dripping on his forehead while his heart was pounding. The


    moment he and Cordelia locked eyes, he knew something was up.


    “Cordelia…” Rowan’s throat was tight, his tongue dry. The moment he called out her name, all of the


    words that he had were taken back. He could not say anything now.


    Cordelia’s face turned pale. She stared at Rowan as she enunciated. “We don’t have a father, so


    please watch what you say to Mr. Irwin. Please, keep a certain distance and don’t overstep your

    “Get it, Carter?”


    Carter grabbed the corner of her shirt with both hands. He looked at Cordelia and then at Rowan.


    Perhaps it was the special bond that family members had with each other, so he seemed to have


    realized something in that split second.


    …


    In the board of directors’ meeting, there was a chill in Zephyr’s cryptic eyes. The oppression exuded


    from his entire being suppressed the meeting room.


    Nobody dared to breathe loudly. They lowered their heads, pretending to do something else.


    Now that they kept getting good news that each project’s profit exceeded $150,000,000, the


    Hamerton Group was again standing on top of the industry.

    Liam was right. In the aspect of bringing money to the Hamerton Group, nobody dared to say that they


    were No. 1 if Zephyr called himself No. 2.


    Zephyr scoffed, “Uncles, do you still think my judgment is bad?”


    “No, of course not…”


    “What about being young and dumb?”


    Being Matthew’s trusted aides and with their experience, the few old men were used to going against


    Zephyr in the meetings.


    They were shocked by his majestic charisma now. They were drenched in a cold sweat as they smiled


    awkwardly.
