Cordelia was stunned. Her cheeks were dusted pink, and the corners of her lips turned up. Ripples spread in her
heart, but she kept a nonchalant look, maintaining extremely good poise.
Liam admired her calm composure.
“I’ll take your silence as a yes,” he said with a chuckle. “You’ll be the lady of the house anyway after you marry
Zephyr. The family business will be passed to both of you. Hah… I’ve been busy all my life. I can finally have some
peace!”
“Grandpa…” Zephyr looked at him in surprise, so happy that he could barely speak.
“Why the face?” Liam scanned him.
Zephyr smiled. “Haven’t you been rejecting this? I was just thinking of telling you about my proposal to Cordelia
these two days—”
“You brat!” Before he finished, Liam glared at him. “Who did you say rejected what!?”
Zephyr froze.

“Of course not, sir!” Clark took Liam’s side swiftly. “Mr. Zephyr, have you remembered it wrong? Elder Mr.
Hamerton has always liked Ms. Cordelia and has long approved of her as his granddaughter-in-law!”
“What about my judgment?”
“When has your judgment gone wrong, sir? Don’t worry, Ms. Cordelia— Oh, Madam Cordelia will definitely run the
Hamertons well. You can enjoy your peace!”
Zephyr was baffled, feeling a gust of wind ruffling his hair.
The house had always faced the best direction. Did they forget to close the window or door?
After Liam nagged Zephyr, he immediately put on a kind smile, and even his voice grew much gentler. “Cordelia,
I’m full. You both take your time! Heh… I’ve specifically asked for the new Etalian chef today. What do you think of
the dishes?”
Cordelia smiled sweetly. “They’re delicious.”
“Then we shall keep this chef around for now!”
“Grandpa, there are enough chefs at home.” Zephyr winced. “You just said to cut out unnecessary expenses…”
“This is necessary!” Liam raised his voice instantly.
Yes, whatever his granddaughter-in-law liked was necessary!
Zephyr kept quiet and ate the steak on his plate.
He recalled that he had once mentioned it would be nice to have a chef from Chaiseland at home, but his
grandfather had said they did not have to hire so many chefs and told him to return to his maternal grandfather’s
place if he wanted dishes from Chaiseland.
And that was it.
Zephyr chuckled and looked at Cordelia. The girl looked even prettier under the warm light. She was also looking at
him, nothing except him in her big, beautiful eyes.
Zephyr was incredibly thankful for the plane crash that had allowed him to pick up the fairy who came to the
human world.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA few days later, Liam called Zephyr to his study alone.
There was an old-looking box on the desk that Liam asked Zephyr to open. When the latter opened it, he saw a jade
pendant inside. Both its quality and carving were exceptional.
The only thing strange was that he had never seen it before.
“Grandpa, what’s this?”
Liam glanced at him and said softly, “A Hamerton heirloom but only for the wife who runs the household.”
Realization struck Zephyr.
“Since your grandma passed, this has been kept with me,” explained Liam. “Your mom and Kate aren’t
housekeeping material, so it wasn’t given to them.
“But…” He smiled in contentment. “This can be passed to Cordelia. There is no problem!”
Zephyr smiled as well, proud of his girl.
He was going to pick it up, but Liam stopped him, surprising him.
“Cordelia hasn’t married you officially yet. It’s not by the rules to have this. Wait until the day she marries into the
family.”
