When Cordelia got off work and returned home, she saw that Zephyr was playing a card game with her mother.

The card game was unique, with complicated rules. It tested a person’s logical thinking and patience. Her mother taught her to play it when she was young, but she could never learn. Xyla never played the card game again from then on.

Never had she thought they were having fun.

Peals of laughter came from the living room. Zephyr was smart enough to lose every round in a subtle way. He made her spend some effort before winning.

Xyla was over the moon. The more she looked, the more she liked her son-in-law.

After the round ended and when Zephyr was going to shuffle the cards, he suddenly noticed Cordelia standing not far away. He got up immediately and chuckled. “You’re home?”

“Hey, you got off work early?” Xyla smiled while drawing the cards. “Zen has been playing with me the entire afternoon. I think he’s exhausted. Make him something to eat now!”

Cordelia was rendered speechless.

She smiled and asked in a testing manner, “Mom, I was at work the entire day. I’m exhausted too!”

“Are you more tired than him?” Xyla raised her voice. “Do you know how brain-draining this card game is? You couldn’t get it after I taught you 800 times when you were young. He got it after I taught him one time!”

Cordelia was rendered speechless again.

Zephyr was a little proud. However, when he saw Cordelia, he suppressed his smile immediately and followed her to the bedroom.

She put down her bag and sat at the table. She looked tired.

He walked behind her and massaged her softly. His hands usually looked powerful, but when they became gentle upon reaching her shoulders.

Cordelia took a deep breath and thought the strength was perfect. It was nice, so she closed her eyes to enjoy it.

“Rest. No need to cook,” he said in a deep voice. “I’ll get people from the hotel to send dinner.”

“What about you?”

“I won’t be staying here tonight.”

She was stunned and got up to look at him for a while. She suddenly thought something was off.
