Zephyr was informed that Janine was already back when he returned to Zen Residence. He got changed and went upstairs to greet her.

“Mom, are you happy with the room?”

“Mm, it’s alright.”

Janine had just made herself coffee, and the room wafted with its aroma. She took a sip and scanned around.

The room was spacious and bright. The floor-to-ceiling window faced the mountains, and the room decoration was tasteful. Even a small ornament felt luxurious.

She sat on the soft lamb leather couch.

The place was great, but she felt an inexplicable sense of distance.

She could not help wondering where Xyla was living. With a considerate and caring daughter, the room she was in must feel much warmer than this place…

Zephyr noticed her oddity. “Mom, what’s the matter?”

Janine took a deep breath. Her gaze at him was slightly disappointed.

Zephyr noticed that she seemed to be shaking a little and asked, “Are you cold?”

“Mm.” She tugged her shawl. “I’m not quite used to the weather here after living in Chaiseland for so long.”

“It’s fine. I’ll make sure they adjust your room temperature.”

The answer would be fine in usual times, but Janine had just watched the close-bonded mother and daughter, so it felt impassive in her ears.

“Mom, you wore too little today. Put mine on!” The sweet voice suddenly rang in her ears.

She looked at Zephyr and thought to test him, so she coughed and said in a low voice, “Zephyr, I think I didn’t wear enough…”
