“Is it my fault then?”

Janine felt guilty when she yelled this. After all, she was the one who had recognized the wrong person first, mistaking Yelena, who had been messing around with Yale, as Cordelia.

However, being unreasonable had always been her style.

She cleared her throat and glanced at Zephyr, forcefully turning the table around. “Cordelia’s wonderful. Why didn’t you let me meet her sooner? You just don’t want us in-laws to meet, do you?”

Zephyr was rendered speechless. He remembered a certain someone saying that his marriage did not only concern the Hamertons but also the Bakers. The same someone had also said that he had to choose either Cordelia or her if he dared marry Cordelia.

“Mom.” Zephyr was exasperated. “Can you be a little more reasonable? Weren’t you—”

“I said I have a daughter-in-law I like, but you weren’t willing at all and even threatened me with pulling your shares out!”

Zephyr was baffled. The blame game could be played this way?

He looked at Cordelia in panic. “I didn’t—”

“Cough!” Janine straightened up to approach Cordelia and grinned, looking at her. “It’s okay, Cordelia. If this brat doesn’t want to, I can take you to Chaiseland!

“The Bakers are filled with talented young men and blue-eyed blonde hotties. By then…”

“Mom!” growled Zephyr. She was his mother for sure—she was relentless!

Cordelia giggled and went over to hook arms with Zephyr.

“Thank you for the kind offer, Aunt Janine. I just want this one!”

Zephyr bent down to rub noses with her fondly, grinning like he had the world.
