Janine had said that he would not have to show mercy to Rowan if they saw each other...

No matter what grudge they had, Rowan had offended his mother before.

Offending his mother would mean offending him. Naturally, he would not tolerate him!

"I don't know much about him," Zephyr said with his deep voice. "Cordelia, stay away from him."

"Why?"

"Because..." He could not give a reason. "No matter what, this man is shrewd. Watch out when you work with him. Apart from working, stay away from him."

But...

Cordelia pouted.

She was upset when she got home and saw her mother being alone and that only the succulents on the balcony were her company.

At that time, she had an idea. She wanted to get her mother a boyfriend. She would not be so lonely, at least.

She thought about it, and Rowan seemed to be the only one who fulfilled her conditions.

"Okay, Cordelia." Seeing her hesitation, Zephyr gave a light peck on her forehead and said gently. "Let's talk about something else." Cordelia yawned. She flipped over and lay on the bed.

She was really sleepy now.

She shut her eyes and fell asleep soon. She heard Zephyr saying something before her consciousness went fuzzy. She soon started to dream. In the dream, she was in a dark ancient forest. It was so quiet she could hear water flowing and the frogs croaking.

As she went forward, she could see the subtle lights.

She grabbed by instinct, and she grabbed a firefly! She was surprised and happy. When she looked closely... The firefly had two pairs of wings.

A double-winged firefly? She thought about it in confusion in the dream.

Someone seemed to have told her that the double-winged fireflies lived in the rainforest in Sabe of Southeast Aciatic. It was a private garden.

She let the firefly go and proceeded forward.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed through the dark. She was startled, then a tall, big man walked by.

Cordelia followed him and saw two people hugging. They could not get away from each other... She smiled. Just when she was going to turn around to leave, an elusive voice called out to her. "Cordelia..." She turned around, and she was shocked by the two faces!

"Mom? Uncle Irwin? You guys..."

Cordelia's heart was pounding. Her blood was rushing to her head!

However, when she wanted to ask more, she slipped and fell into the dark.

She woke up from her dream.

She was drenched in a cold sweat and only calmed down forcefully after taking a few deep breaths.

It was strange. Why did she have such a dream?

She rubbed her temples. Seeing that Zephyr was not there, she put on her flip-flops and went looking for him.

As she thought, Z was hitting the sandbag in the courtyard.

He was half-naked, and his beautiful muscles exuded his manliness under the sunlight.

He was as fierce as a wild beast as he hit the sandbag.

Cordelia recalled that he would practice every morning when they were living in Jangasas.

Zephyr noticed her standing not far away. He stopped immediately and showed her a smile that was warmer than the sun.

"Are you tired?" Cordelia handed him water and wiped his sweat. "Rest for a little bit!"

"I'm not tired." He smiled. How could he admit that he was tired in front of her?

"Oh yeah, Carter texted me," he told her. "He's asking us to go to his school ceremony!"
