Chapter 824
Cordelia was rendered speechless. “I said us!
“Not just to me and you. He’s also nice to Neil and even Aurelia!
“Before I got to know him, I thought that all the royals were high and mighty. Alexander changed my
view. He’s down to earth.
“Darling, why do you think that’s the case?”
Why? His love for a person extended to people around that person!
Alexander was only looking out for the group around Cordelia because of her! Hah, an unexpected
romantic!
Zephyr took a deep breath. His fingers on the cutlery clenched, his knuckles turning white. There was
no change in his expression, though, only rolling currents underneath his calm eyes.
“Maybe he wants to get the Irwins on his side.” He smiled. “The Irwins are significant in Southeast
Aciatic and are rtives to the Harrises. Getting you on his side gives him a higher chance of inheriting
the throne.”
“Then why does Victoria—”
“This is where Alexander’s brilliant!” Zephyr looked aloof. “Victoria’s arrogant and domineering, but he’s
easy to approach. Think about it. What king do the people of Southeast Aciatic hope to have?
“He might not be genuinely nice to you. People like this have motives in everything they do.
“The throne is his motive.
“My silly wife.” Zephyr rubbed Cordelia’s head fondly. “You’re smart but too sentimental. People are
nice to you, and you value it, wanting to repay several times more. How can this be!?”
Cordelia pursed her lips and stayed silent.
“So, stay behind me next time.” Zephyr smirked as he hugged her in his arms, saying next to her ear in
his deep and husky voice, “I’ll protect you.”
He added, “Actually, I quite admire Prince Alexander. Even if he resorts to whatever he can do for the
throne, it can’t be helped. This is his way of survival. We should understand him.”
Cordelia nodded seriously and looked up to smile at him.
Zephyr seemed nonchnt but was actually ted. He would cate Cordelia first, then talk to
Alexander to probe him. If the prince did have an ulterior motive toward Cordelia, he would absolutely
twist his head off!
Zephyr cracked a grin and continued to coax his wife to eat. While he smoked, he sent a text to Neil to
ask him to help arrange a meeting with the prince.
…
Neil was once again at the tailor’s Aurelia worked.
This time, the owner did not leave once he was there like previously. She stared at him instead.
This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Neil was in all ck with a pair ofrge sunsses. Paired with his model physique, he was a walking
pheromone.
He looked back at the owner as she looked at him.
Usually, the woman looked at him like he was a gangster who would demolish her shop anytime.
Today, however, her gaze waspletely different!
“I recognize you!” The ownerughed. “You’re that… actor who won awards! You acted in lots of
movies!”
Neil frowned and removed his sunsses to look at her.
“Oh my, it’s really you!”
“Shh…”
“No need to shush me!” The owner said with a chuckle, “This street is full of antiques of simr age like
me. We usually don’t watch movies or entertainment news, so no one knows you! But I saw my son
who’s in university watching your movie yesterday. That’s how I found out you’re an award-winning
actor!”
Neil’s expression wasplicated before he stered on a smile.
“You deserve your awards! You look quite like a gangster when you act like one. I was totally tricked!”
Neil was at a loss for words.
“Hey.” The owner put on a gossiping face. “Are you really Aurelia’s boyfriend?”
Neil licked his lips and stayed silent, finding the woman noisy.
“Come on, tell me! What’s there to lose!” The owner pursed her lips. “I won’t allow it if you’re only
having fun with her! Our Aurelia’s a good girl!”
Neil was bewildered. “Your Aurelia?”
“What else? Yours?”
“You…”
“I have three sons, you know!”
Neil blew up. “Ma’am, which eye of yours saw I’m just having fun with her!?”
Aurelia coincidentally heard that as she had just entered. She stood at the door and froze, nearly
dropping the pile of clothes she was carrying.
Neil met eyes with her. Their gazes glistened with the same emotions.
Aurelia’s heart thumped, and she looked away, carrying the clothes to the owner, May Taylor. “May,
these are washed and ironed. The beads are sewn too. The customers can collect them in the
afternoon.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“Oh, okay!” May looked at Aurelia with a grin. “You work so fast. I’m assured with you around!
“Oh, uh, your boyfriend’s here for you!” May spoke seriously next to Aurelia’s ear. “I purposely
provoked him just now, and he got angry, saying he isn’t just messing with you… Heh, I think he’s fine.
You can keep him and observe him!”
Aurelia giggled.
May turned to leave, turning back to look at them with a loving grin when she got to the door.
Neil stood straight and tall, coughing twice with a proud face.
“Have you… started preparing for ss?”
“Mm, I’ve decided on the university,” Aurelia answered softly. “But I work during the day, so I can only
revise at night.”
‘Working during the day and revising at night…’ Neil contemted. This way, she probably would not
have the time to meet the owner’s three sons.
He nodded and smiled. “Right, the clothes you made for Cordelia, she received them and liked them a
lot.”
“I knew she’d like that style!”
“She isn’t the only one. The queen liked it too and almost asked for you to be an embroidery artist in
the pce.”
“What!?” Aurelia looked at him in disbelief. “Don’t lie to me. How would the queen have eyes for my
work!?”
“I’m not.”
“Well…”
“He really didn’t lie to you.” A voice rang at the door suddenly.
Aurelia and Neil jolted.
As Aurelia trailed her gaze after the voice—the face was foreign to her, but the person’s gaze toward
Neil seemed familiar.
“He really didn’t lie to you,” the person said with a smile. “Because your work’s excellent, the queen
noticed it. Is it not normal?”
Neil asked in a low tone, “Why are you here?”
