The more Cordelia listened to her, the more worried she got.
“Aurelia, I better send some bodyguards to go with you…”
“It’s really okay!” Aurelia cracked a grin. “I’m familiar with that area. Besides, I move around easier alone. Other
than getting my stuff, I want to say goodbye to the old nomad lady and the others. I wouldn’t be as comfortable
with the bodyguards following me!”
“Then—”
“Bye-bye, Cordelia!”
Before Cordelia finished her sentence, Aurelia ran off like a deer, turning back to beam at her. “I won’t come back
tonight. I’ll bid them a good farewell! See you tomorrow!”
Cordelia was heavy in movement and did not get to call the bodyguards in time. Aurelia ran fast too and vanished

When Zephyr came back at night, they lay on the bed. He was working on the laptop while Cordelia tossed and
turned, unable to fall asleep.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” Zephyr tucked her in carefully. “Is your belly making you uncomfortable? Don’t keep lying
on your left. Turn around!”
“The doctor says that pregnant women should lie on the left. It’s good for the baby!”
“The doctor might not always be right!” Zephyr argued with her seriously, “Listen to me tonight. Lie on your right!
You’ve been sleeping on your left for months, and I can’t take it anymore!”
Cordelia chuckled wryly. “It’s for our son’s sake.”
“Darling, our son isn’t that fragile! If he can’t even let you have a good sleep, I’ll—”
Before he finished his sentence, he met his wife’s sharp gaze.
Zephyr swallowed the latter half of his sentence.
He explained, “Darling, I won’t beat him up!”
Cordelia jolted before she giggled because of what he said and turned to lie on her right side. Her face was against
his chest just nicely.
Zephyr shut his laptop and tossed it away to hug his wife happily.
Cordelia said softly, “Darling, I’m a bit worried about Aurelia.”
“She’s just gone back to get her things. What’s there to be worried about? Besides, didn’t she say that she’ll be
back tomorrow?”
“But she mentioned today that there are local thugs there…”
Zephyr chuckled. What was so strange about slums having thugs?
He kissed her hair and replied seriously, “Cordelia, Aurelia has lived 18 years there. She’s used to it. Even if she

“No.” Cordelia pondered. “Darling, you better send a few bodyguards to keep watch around the area! I don’t want
anything to happen to her, or I won’t be able to face Neil!”
‘Oh, right, there is still that man!’ Zephyr rubbed his temples. There was still Neil, his difficult cousin-in-law!
Zephyr mulled over it and texted his assistant to get things sorted out.
Only then was Cordelia reassured, and she pecked his cheek gleefully.
Zephyr chuckled and felt his face.
“Can you sleep in peace now?”
“Hmm… not yet!” Cordelia was hungry but was embarrassed to say it, so she stared at her husband.
“Honey, are you hungry?”
Zephyr blurted, “I’m full from dinner, not hungry.”
Cordelia’s gaze changed as she asked again, “Really?”
Her tone was raised in the end, and she wore a straight face. It was unlike her usual playful bunny style.
Zephyr’s heart dropped as he blinked and said doubtfully, “I’m… hungry?”
