Cordelia was puzzled while listening to it.

To be frank, it was just three men hanging out at a bar and chatting while drinking. It did not seem like there was anything wrong with it.

“Linda, did you… hear right?” Cordelia knew that Linda was a short-tempered person. “How do you know that it’s Zephyr who was longing for that person?”

“I heard it myself!”

“But bars can be so noisy. Could you have heard this wrong?”

“Then… Then I’ll tell you everything I heard!”

Linda told her everything that had happened.

Anyway, the actual situation was simple…

The men had gone into the booth and opened a bottle of whisky as Josiah had cried, “Guys, Frederic’s unforgettable woman’s back, you know?”

Instead, Linda had heard: “The unforgettable woman’s back, you know?”

“Gosh, of all times, it had to be now! I was going to discuss with Z how we could set up Frederic and Trinity!”

Linda’s version was: “Gosh, now of all times… with Z… set up…”

“This has to be kept a secret. Do not disclose it to anyone, okay? Anything else has to be planned properly.”

Linda had heard: “This has to be kept a secret… Anything else—planned properly…”

Linda told Cordelia everything. She had only heard half of it, but Cordelia’s heart clenched.

Her mother’s words rang in her ears like a curse. “You’ve got to hold on to Zephyr. What if he has some childhood sweetheart?”
