“Just be patient, Aunt Tanner,” Cordelia said with a smile. “Stay as you are for now.”
Mandy looked anxious.
“I own half of the Tanner Group… To be precise, 2/3 of it is mine! Before Joe married me, he was nothing! The
wedding gift I brought along filled up the gap and hole in the Tanners!
“But he betrayed me and raised his illegitimate daughter right under my nose for 20 years! He played me like a
fool!” The more Mandy spoke, the more agitated she was as she hit the side of the bed with clenched fists.
Once she thought about this, she was repulsed and regretful.
She had taken care of an illegitimate daughter but overlooked her birth daughter’s feelings for so many tears. She
was not worthy as a mother!
“Aunt Tanner, don’t be like this.” Cordelia quickly stopped her. “Don’t worry. Nelly won’t have the Tanner Group, and
Mr. Tanner isn’t the sole decision-maker in the company. There are other shareholders!
“What you have to do now is to eat and sleep well and take care of yourself properly.” Zephyr looked at her. “You
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcan only fight them when you’re healthy.”
Mandy looked up at them with a moved gaze. Despite what happened, she did not expect that Zephyr and Cordelia
would be willing to help her and Kelly. Everything was moving in a positive direction now, and she believed that Nelly
would not get to gloat for long.
Zephyr told her seriously, “Aunt Tanner, we’re here today to visit you and tell you about this so that you’re mentally
prepared. When we need you, we hope you can help us with your all!”
“Zephyr, Ms. Cordelia…” Mandy’s voice was quivering. “Don’t say that. You’re my saviors! Let me know anytime
you need me. I’ll give it my best shot!”
…
With how everything was progressing, these few days were exceptionally quiet.
It was Cordelia’s day off on Friday, and she slept until 10:00 a.m., going out to bask in the sun in her slippers after
having a quick breakfast.
The fall sunlight was warm, and she sat on the swing leisurely. Ginger came over to rub against her but ran off
when it saw Zephyr.
Cordelia turned to smile at him and leaned against his shoulder lazily when he came over and sat next to her.
“Kelly’s recovering well.” Zephyr wrapped an arm around her. “Looks like Mr. Irwin lives up to his title.”
“Of course, he’s the president of the Southeast Aciatic Medical Association! And he’s good at treating various
obscure illnesses. The medicinal drugs Irwin Pharmaceuticals makes each year have saved countless people!”
Zephyr watched Cordelia quietly.
The girl seemed to have gotten much closer to Rowan. He did not know when it started, but she looked like a fan
whenever Rowan’s name was mentioned. That sense of pride was as if he was her father.
Zephyr frowned and did not feel good about it.
“Hah, yeah.”
He glossed it over and wanted to divert the topic, but Cordelia continued. “Remember when we went to Mengasas
the last time? We saw a lot of medicines from Irwin Pharmaceuticals on that night market street. The vendor said
they can treat everything!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I remember…” Zephyr replied softly and ruffled her hair. “You didn’t know about my identity back then.”
Cordelia looked up at him and smiled sweetly. She stretched and snuggled closer against him, the past scenes
playing in her mind like a movie.
It had actually been two years since they got together.
She sighed. “Time flies.”
Zephyr pressed a kiss on her hair. The sweet fragrance on her distracted him.
“I still remember the night I married you. It was so windy and stormy, and the house was all broken down…” she
murmured. “You were scowling too. It was scary.”
‘Was I?’ Zephyr paused. ‘I scowled? How could I bear to scowl at her? She must have seen it wrong.’
“Don’t even think about retorting!” Cordelia glared at him. “You were icy when we just got married anyway and
kept punching the sandbag. You didn’t even know how to cook, and I had to make sure you were fed and clothed!”
“But you looked happy doing it!”
Zephyr cackled and pinched her nose.
“Tell me, why did you take care of me so willingly?” His voice was low. “Was it because you liked what you saw?”
