Charlie smiled helplessly and was going to pick up a wine glass when Rowan caught his hand mercilessly.

“No drinking!” Rowan glared at him. “You can’t drive after you drink!”

Charlie was befuddled. “Mr. Irwin, didn’t you say that… we’ll walk back later?”

“Who said that!?”

Rowan glared at Charlie but was immensely gentle to the person on the line.

“Cordelia, calm down… Oh, don’t fret!

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’m just around!

“Not far at all! Hah, I’ll be there very soon. I promise I’ll heal Elder Mr. Hamerton!

“Silly child, what are you saying? No need to be courteous with me!”

Rowan put on his jacket and ran out as he spoke.

Charlie chuckled wryly on the spot. He looked at the two glasses of wine that were not even touched reluctantly before he sighed and went after his boss.

The pub was obviously a long way from Hamerton Manor!

Rowan kept urging Charlie to step down on the pedal on the way.

When they arrived at the manor, the living room was filled with people, but Rowan only had his eyes on Cordelia.

He smiled at her with a sense of duty and pride in being needed by his daughter and went up the stairs with his medical kit.

Zephyr watched him and could not help feeling sorry when he recalled the same man at Imperial Media who had argued with him and then left forlornly.

He turned to look at Cordelia and wrapped an arm around her shoulders to pull her into his embrace with complicated feelings.
