The landlord called, asking Cordelia if she wanted to continue renting the place.

She felt a squeeze in her heart as she had many memories with Zephyr there. Although she was mad at him, she did not want to throw those memories away.

“Say something, Mrs. Grist!” shouted the landlord, “I’ll rent it to someone else if you won’t! The unit is selling like hot cake!”

“You can’t rent it to someone else!” Cordelia slipped. “We signed a one-year contract, and it has not expired yet!”

“It has not, but you’ll have to pay the rent, Mrs. Grist!”

“Don’t worry. I won’t owe you the rent!” Cordelia pouted. “I’ll transfer it to you soon!

“Also, please remember that I’m not Mrs. Grist!” She raised her voice and enunciated each word clearly to the landlord. “My husband is Mr. Hamerton!”

“Oh… Okay, Mrs. Hamerton!” The landlord did not care if it was Grist or Hamerton as long as she could get the payment.

Cordelia sighed helplessly after hanging up the phone.

Xyla smiled and placed her hand on her daughter’s shoulder. She asked while raising her eyebrows, “What did you say?”

Cordelia was stunned.

‘What did I say?

‘I said… my husband was a Hamerton?’

Her cheeks blushed, and she looked down for a long time. Meanwhile, her heart started pounding.

“Cordelia,” Xyla looked at her, chuckling. “I know I’m silly sometimes, but I can tell that you still like him very much, right?”

“Mom…”

“No woman would call out “husband” simply,” Xyla said softly. “If she calls him that, it proves that he’s unshakeable to her. It’s the person that she wants to spend her life with.
