Cordelia looked out the window and asked, “Mom, this doesn’t seem like the way home…”
“We’re not going home yet. I’ll take you for some food first!”
“Food?” Realization struck Cordelia, and she leaned forward with a smirk. “Is it a treat from my mother-in-law or my
future father-in-law?”
“You child!” Janine giggled happily. “You’re teasing me now, huh!?”
“Mom, what’s he like? I’m curious.”
Janine looked at her and held her hand softly, keeping it a secret for now.
They came to a stop at Baker Hotel shortly.
As one of the iconic buildings in Melorian, Baker Hotel was well equipped with the conditions for success. Not only

The building was cleared for Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton today, and the general manager welcomed them personally.
“Madam Baker, everything’s set. It’s at the revolving restaurant on the top floor.”
“Mm.” Janine was happy with the setup. “Is Mr. Bond here already?”
“He is.”
Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a glance. They were both curious and anxious to meet this man.
Cordelia held Zephyr’s hand tightly and followed Janine to the revolving restaurant. There was already a middle-
aged man sitting by the window. He looked poised and elegant in his demeanor.
The man got up to greet them the way a Chaiseland gentleman would.
“Come, come, let me introduce you!” Janine said with a smile, “This is my son, Zephyr, my daughter-in-law,
Cordelia, and their baby boy, Zuko!
“This is your Uncle Bond!” Janine looked at the man and uttered his name, “Jim Bond!”
Cordelia took a pause and did her best to press the corners of her lips down while Zephyr was at a loss for words.
Both of them had a decent impression of the man when they met as he looked like he came from an educated
background and was probably compatible with Janine, but his name…
“Stop standing around!” Janine said warmly, “Come on, have a seat. Let’s eat!
“Jim, have a seat too!”
Cordelia tugged Zephyr’s hand and could not help chuckling.
Zephyr rolled his eyes in his mind, grumbling about how all of the men his mother could choose, she picked one
with such a lame name… Then a book flashed in his mind all of a sudden.

The book’s… author?
Zephyr froze, and his gaze was laced with disbelief as he looked at Uncle Bond across him.
“What? You wouldn’t be your Uncle Bond’s reader, would you?” Janine teased, “Jim writes mystery s. Some of
them are adapted into films already, and a new one is being written. I’m thinking of investing in the production.”
Jim placed his cutlery down and flashed a humble and friendly smile.
He was not exactly handsome, a common face in the crowd. He was also a little plump, very much unlike what his
name was implying. However, he exuded an academic air that separated him from the regular people.
“You’re Mr. Bond?” Cordelia was the first to react. She had heard Trinity mention a few times that the author was a
rare talented author in recent years. He had writing experience for decades, which paid off as his recent works
went viral one after another, claiming the best-seller spot consecutively.
Even Zephyr had often discussed the details of the he kept by the bed, saying that the author wrote well with
impeccable logic and that reading his book was a joy.
They actually met him in real life today!
