Rowan had long heard the jolly chatter here and was coming over with Xyla hand in hand.

Liam immediately recovered to his serious front to flash a smile and exchange polite pleasantries. Both of them then took wine glasses from the waiter and emptied them.

After the drink, Liam asked, “When are you planning to go back to Southeast Aciatic, Mr. Irwin?”

“The joint hospital project has only made 1/3 of its progress. I’ll only go back after the hospital’s built!”

“Oh…” Liam calculated the time. “I’ll have Zephyr prepare in advance then! He’ll be giving you problems when he’s in Southeast Aciatic in the future!”

“What?” Rowan paused. “Who said he’s coming too?”

Liam widened his eyes in confusion.

Cordelia went between them with a smile. “Grandpa, I was just joking with Zephyr, saying that I’m going back to Southeast Aciatic!”

“Yeah!” Xyla said with a smile, “Cordelia’s your granddaughter-in-law. Of course, she’ll be staying in Centrolis with you!”

“But Zephyr says he’s marrying himself into your family!”

“Really?” Rowan’s eyes bulged.

“No way!” Xyla hit Rowan and turned to Liam. “Elder Mr. Hamerton, Southeast Aciatic is a very traditional place. I’d love to keep my daughter around me, but it wouldn’t go well with the custom. So… please take good care of Cordelia!”

“Xyla, let her come back with us!” Rowan said softly, “Let Zephyr take our last name too. I can teach him everything I know…”

“You crazy? Don’t even think about it!” Xyla warned him. “Cordelia is Zephyr’s wife. She has to be where Zephyr is!”

“But—”

“One more word, and you can return to Southeast Aciatic on your own!”

Rowan’s cheeks were puffed as he hung his head in silence.
