Chapter 877


    Zephyr smiled. Janine would never tell him whatever good news she had, as she always called


    Cordelia for it.


    To Janine, her daughter-inw was her own child, while she must have picked up her son from the


    street.


    Zephyr knew his mother well too. Her good news was nothing more than theirpany stock price


    rising, their rival’s stock price plummeting, or her business empire expanding, her sore thumb of an


    enemy being eliminated…


    In spite of it, Janine’s sudden voice swiftly nked Zephyr’s mind for several seconds.


    “I have a boyfriend… and I want you to meet him!”


    “What!?”


    Zephyr shoved himself over immediately. If Cordelia had not been fast with her hands, he would have


    knocked his head on the phone screen.


    “Mom, what did you say? You got a boyfriend? For real?”


    Cordelia kept shooting him looks to stop him from behaving so dramatically, but how could she


    understand his feelings as a son about his mother…


    Zephyr was not a pedantic person. Even when his parents’ divorce had hurt him to a certain extent


    when he was younger, he understood as he grew older that some things just could not be forced,


    especially marriage and fate.


    When the fate between both people ended, staying bound together did no one good. Moreover, Janine


    and Henry had not started off romantically. They had only gotten married for the interests of their


    families. Their personalities were so different that it was a matter of course they separated.

    It was just that… Zephyr still felt weird about it.


    “Mom, who did you find? Look at how happy you are!” He wore a scowl, and his questioning tone did


    not son being concerned for his mother. It was more like that of a stern father reprimanding his


    disobedient daughter.


    “Mom, open your eyes and look carefully. You can’t judge a book by its cover! What if that man has an


    ulterior motive in approaching you? Don’t you get deceived!”


    “You brat!” Janine fought back. “You just can’t see your mom being happy, is that it?”


    “Mom, you’re being unreasonable!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

    “Try speaking another word!?”


    “Okay, okay…” Cordelia intercepted swiftly. She held Zephyr off and then looked at Janine with a grin.


    “Mom, Zephyr doesn’t speak well. Don’t get petty with him!”


    Only when Janine heard the soft, sweet voice, did her anger dissipate a little, and her glower faded.


    “We’re both happy for you that you’ve found love!” Cordelia said gently, “But… Zephyr’s worry makes


    sense. What kind of person is he?”


    “Well, it’s a long story!” Janine smiled. “I’ll send you his phototer, Cordelia! Let me know what you


    think. Alright, I’ll stop here. I have to call your mom first! X, that old woman, the gossiper in her heart,


    will certainly stop her from sleeping once she finds out… Hahaha!”


    Janine cut the video call after that.


    Cordelia stared at the ck screen in silence for some time. The man beside her was quiet as well. His


    oppressive presence made one dare not breathe even a little louder.


    Cordelia looked at his scowling face and leaned on his shoulder lightly. Her hand went from his chest to


    his corbone and rubbed it gently.


    “What is it?” she asked softly. “Mom just got a boyfriend, and you’re this angry?”


    “I…”


    Zephyr’s eyes were cast down. Plenty of words were stuck in his throat, but he could not utter them.


    “I don’t— It’s not like I don’t want mom to be happy.” His voice was a deep rumble. “It’s just…”


    “It’s just you suddenly have some sense of disappointment?”


    “Huh?” Zephyr paused and turned to meet Cordelia’s shining eyes.


    Like déjà vu, it felt like he returned to the first night of their marriage when they first met. She had


    looked at him with this pair of bright, beautiful eyes back then and melted his icy line of defense with


    her gentle yet determined strength.


    Zephyr’s heart squeezed, and he could not help hugging her tighter.


    Her voice was soft. “Darling, I understand why you feel so down… Your parents divorced, and dad


    married Aunt Cloudter. Now that mom’s going to have her other half too, you feel that you’ve been


    left out. Is that so?”


    Zephyr pressed his lips together.
