After Zephyr returned to his senses, he got Robert to send Cordelia back to her office.

He called the number to Chaiseland after returning to the Zen Residence.

It was morning over there and quite noisy on the other side of the phone. Janine must have started her busy day.

Zephyr greeted respectfully. "Mom, were you looking for me?"

"Yes, I'm at the airport," Janine said calmly. "I'll be in Centrolis in 10 hours. Get someone to pick me up."

"What?" He was shocked.

"What? Am I not welcome?"

"Of course, that's not the case." He soon calmed down.

Ever since his parents got divorced, his mother hardly visited Centrolis. It was not where she grew up. Given the terrible memories from her ex-husband's family and judging by her character, although her child was there, she would definitely not compromise.

Therefore, Zephyr visited Chaiseland more often since he was young.

Perhaps there was only one reason why Janine suddenly came to Centrolis.

Zephyr squinted. He took a deep breath and asked directly, "Mom, are you coming because of me?"

"Hey, so you knew?" Janine chuckled. "That old thing Matthew said if I don't visit, I might not know it even if my grandchild is born!"

He scoffed. "I knew it. I knew Second Uncle was instigating you!

"Mom, don't you know how he is? Can you believe what he said!?"

"But you have a woman indeed, right?"

Janine's voice was firm, calm, and powerful.

Zephyr squeezed his phone.

"Mom, I never intended to keep this from you," he said in a deep voice. "I love her indeed, but we had some misunderstandings before. Now that we've solved that, I wanted to get her permission before bringing her to see you. I didn't think that Second Uncle would be such a busybody to have told you first."

"Zen..." Janine paused for a moment and said with concern, "Although I can't get along with the Hamertons and I'm no longer married to the family, your grandpa and I think the same when it comes to your marriage...

"She has to be of the same status as you!"

"Mom!" growled Zephyr.

"Don't forget, your marriage isn't only the Hamertons' business. The Bakers are involved too!" Janine raised her voice.

"I'm boarding the plane now. Talk to me if you have more to tell me when I get to Centrolis. Also..." She paused. "The most important thing we need to do when I get there is to meet Ms. Jenner. Arrange that, Zen. The sooner, the better!"

She hung up the phone after that.

Zephyr frowned hard. A grim glint flashed through his eyes.

...

Linda and Nicholas had officially moved to Centrolis. Cordelia was over the moon.

Their new house was on the outskirts, which was very close to Hamerton Manor. On the first day they settled down, they invited her and Zephyr to their place.

They set up the barbecue grill in the courtyard. Cordelia skewered the marinated meat slowly, Nicholas and Zephyr were in charge of grilling, and Linda prepared beer and drinks.

They chatted as they had not seen each other for a long time. They chatted until the sun set.

"Everyone, stop what you're doing! I have a big announcement!" Nicholas raised his glass, overjoyed. He grabbed Linda over and said. "We're..."

"Getting married!"

Cordelia looked at her with her eyes widened.
