“Oh.” Zephyr nodded.
Liam sighed and was deep in thought. “She’s wonderful, but her birth…”
‘Birth?’
Zephyr smirked. Although he looked down on Rowan—and the old geezer had probably lost his mind recently,
treating him like an enemy whenever he saw him—the man was still Cordelia’s biological father.
He could tolerate him. One’s love had to extend to their family too, right?
Zephyr composed himself and was planning to tell Liam about Cordelia’s birth, but before the words left his mouth,
Liam suddenly looked at him in resolution.
“Zephyr, I’ve decided to find Cordelia a family to get her godparents!”
“What?” Zephyr was astonished.
“The marriage of convenience is passed down for generations among the four major families.” Liam wore a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcomplicated gaze. “This is the rule left by the ancestors. It can’t be broken here at my time.
“But I really like Cordelia, so the best choice is to give her godparents.”
“Grandpa—”
“I’ll find her a family with a significant background. This way, she will have support, and it can also shut others up.
No one will dare say a word about her background! What do you think?”
Liam arched his brow like he was asking Zephyr if he was smart.
Zephyr was rendered speechless. “There’s no need, grandpa. Cordelia—”
“What do you mean no need!?” Liam glared at him. “You don’t feel bad for your wife, but I feel bad for my
granddaughter!”
“Grand… daughter?”
“Yes!” Liam huffed. “The child gets along well with me, much better than you prodigal bunch!”
Zephyr was dumbfounded.
That was not nice—the only prodigal child here was Yale!
Liam shook his head and kept the jade pendant before he shot Zephyr an authoritative look.
“I’ve found the family anyway.” He continued. “I think Mr. Irwin from Southeast Aciatic, who treats me, is great! He
is not married and has no children, so he can take Cordelia as his goddaughter! The Irwins are a significant family,
and he can support Cordelia!”
The corners of Zephyr’s lips twitched as laughter bubbled. “It’s even more unnecessary! Actually—”
“Shut up!” Liam rolled his eyes at him. He knew that the kid loved Cordelia so much that he could care less about
everything else—not him, though. He could not turn a blind eye to what the outside world thought either.
After all, the Hamertons were a big family with big businesses. Zephyr’s marriage was the focal point of Centrolis,
and nothing could go wrong.
If Cordelia had the Irwins as support, the outsiders would have nothing to say, even if the Hamertons did not have a
marriage with the other three major families.

Can’t you see the pros and cons of this?”
Zephyr opened his mouth, but Liam did not give him any chance to explain himself.
“It’s decided. I’ll talk to Rowan!” The old man’s tone was firm. “I think he won’t not do me this favor!
“Zephyr, you’re getting a wife. You’ve got to plan things out! It’s a fact that Cordelia’s birth is inferior, but it’s not
like it can’t be changed!
“Goodness, you do a little work in the company, and you have no idea about these family matters and social
connections! Can’t have any hope for you!”
Liam kept nagging that Zephyr did not even get to interrupt.
Clark knocked on the door to inform Liam that the nutritionist was ready and that he should go for his checkup. It
was only then Liam glanced at Zephyr before grabbing his dragon-head cane to leave.
As he walked, he muttered, “Ah, you kids know nothing about dealing with people… I’ll have to depend on Cordelia
when she’s married into our family!”
