Cordelia did as she was told and felt Zephyr flipping her hand over. Her palm faced up, and she felt something landing in her hand.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a necklace in it.
Precious sapphires were etched into stars and the moon, hanging off a platinum necklace.
His voice was deep and gentle. “Cordelia, I’ve plucked the stars and moon for you.
“What about you? Will you marry me? Let’s not part forever, okay?”
Cordelia pressed her lips together, tears brimming from her eyes. Zephyr hugged her and softly stroked her hair.
“You don’t have to answer me now,” he said considerately. “I’ll give you time as long as you remember that I’m always here waiting for you.”
Cordelia nodded and sobbed herself silly against his chest. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Zephyr.”
“Hmm?”
“I can actually answer you now…”
Zephyr’s heart lurched as he listened quietly.
“I do need some time to prepare myself.”
She looked up at him with a sincere smile.
“I also need some time to explore this world. I hope that when I marry you, I can stand with you and be as wonderful as you are.
“So… stay right there and don’t move, okay? I’ll walk to you one day!”
“Okay!” Zephyr looked her in the eyes and promised her seriously.
Both of them exchanged a smile while the drones glowed in different colored lights in the dark and illuminated the sea and sky.
Even if it was foggy going forward, he could still collect all the stars in the sky for her—and he would stand by his side proudly, letting the world know that she was worth it.

Janine had just arrived in Centrolis when Clark took her to Zen Residence. She was filled with mixed feelings coming back this time.
She did not want to enter Hamerton Manor at all. Even when Zen Residence was far from the manor, she might still run into Henry and Kate. If everyone got awkward when they met, they might as well not meet.
In spite of it, she would be worried about Zephyr if she did not come over. That Jenner woman too… What kind of person was she that could bewitch her son into wanting to give up on the Hamerton empire?
Janine sucked in a cold breath and rolled the car window down to get some air.
The car soon stopped in front of Zen Residence.
Clark said respectfully, “Madam Baker, the room here at Mr. Zephyr’s residence has been cleaned several times and set up like how you’d like it. I’ll carry your suitcase up now.”
“Let the helpers do this.” Janine removed her sunglasses and said, “Clark, you’ve been great to Zephyr since he was a child. I’m thankful for you.”
“Madam Baker, it’s what I should do.”
“It’s just, I know this child…” Janine paused. “No one has the ability to persuade him in things he’s made up his mind in!”
Clark frowned. “You’re referring to?”
Janine did not say anything. As she scanned the surroundings, she discovered a regular sedan in the residence. Curious, she asked, “Clark, that car…”
“Oh, Mr. Zephyr drove it back from Jangasas.”
“Jangasas?” Janine could guess as much and snickered.
The lowest-ranked long-term employee in the Hamertons would not even glance at this kind of car twice!
Despite that, this car must have attracted a lot of attention since it was parked in Zen Residence. If Matthew and Yale found out, she wondered how they would gossip about Zephyr behind them!
Janine thought about it and asked, “Clark, how are Matthew and Yale Hamerton doing recently?”
