Late night at Royal Manor…
The temperature had dropped outside. The lawn was covered with a blanket of frost, but passion was brewing
under the fleece blanket in the house…
Zephyr rested against the bed, satiated, while Cordelia was soundly asleep in his arms after their activity.
He kissed his wife and pulled his arm out from under her head a while later to gently open the bedside table’s
drawer and pull up the wad of cash.
He counted the cash note by note under the dim light. ‘$10, $20, $30…’ He grinned gleefully when he got to the
eighth note as if this was his first time seeing so much money.
Zephyr swiftly put the cash back after counting them, but the delight did not last. He thought it seemed like he had
not worked hard enough this month as the cash was not much. It was obvious it meant that he could work harder!

Zephyr scratched his head with furrowed brows. He did not really want a child, but the pressure was real recently
as everyone had their eyes on Cordelia’s stomach.
There was no doubt that Rowan and Xyla’s biggest wish was to see Cordelia pregnant before they left Centrolis.
Janine did not quite pay attention to this in the past, but she had now made her choice between her best friend and
her son, ganging up with the former to force her son to upgrade them to grandmothers.
Henry joined in the fun occasionally, posting adorable baby photos in their family group chat.
Liam was just one step away from wearing “I want grandkids” on him.
Zephyr’s current biggest fear was his grandfather asking him back to eat!
…
The men gathered in the exclusive booth in the bar once more the next day.
Josiah, Nicholas, and Robert were engrossed in a card game, while Zephyr and Fredric were silent on each end of
the couch.
Josiah asked quietly as they shuffled the cards, “What’s up with the two of them?”
“Not sure about Fredric, but our sir…” Robert cackled.
Josiah’s curiosity was piqued instantly. “Spill!”
“Nothing much, actually,” replied Robert. “He’s just being urged to have a baby!”
“Hah!” Josiah nearly spat the alcohol he drank. “Never mind that he’s getting married into Cordelia’s family. He can
have a baby now too? Does he have the ability to?”
Nicholas and Robert looked at him like they were looking at an idiot.
“Mr. Bayer, what are you talking about? It’s their parents urging him to get our madam pregnant!”
Before Josiah could utter an “oh”, Zephyr, who had somehow got behind him, punched him on the head.

The men stopped playing cards and got together to drink and chat.
Nicholas asked, “Why are you the only one urged? Shouldn’t they ask Cordelia too?”
Zephyr pursed his lips. “They’re worried that it’ll pressure her, so they don’t.”
Everyone was rendered speechless.
Their statuses in their families were apparent now.
Nicholas suddenly felt empathic and could not help but want to teach him all his tricks.
“I have some experience in this! I didn’t get to become a father last time, but Linda got pregnant anyway!”
Zephyr glanced at him with a blank face. “Mm, go on.”
Nicholas thought about it. “Didn’t you say that Cordelia’s weaker previously?”
“Weaker, yes, but not infertile. And my father-in-law’s been treating her with acupuncture and tonics recently.
Should be effective!”
