The man’s strong arms hugged her tightly. Looking into his deep eyes, Cordelia suddenly recalled him
saying, “We have to get down to business after you eat!”
Cordelia’s cheeks flushed, and she held her head low. Just like that, she allowed him to hug her like a
good girl.
She said shyly, “Hubby, l-let’s wait a little bit.”
Zephyr was stunned. “Wait a little bit?”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to… Ah! Just wait a little bit. I ate too much!”
Zephyr only realized what she was saying after a moment. Holding back his laughter, he said to her
with his shaking voice, “I’m taking you out.”
Stunned, Cordelia stared at him with her blinking eyes.
“What…”
Zephyr patted her head.

when he said they would get down to business…
He was the one who taught her to think that!
He smirked, failing to hide the pride in his smile.
Cordelia clenched her fist and punched his chest hard.
“Marcus!”
“Okay.” He held her tiny hand in his palm. “The business I meant is to bring you somewhere.”
“Where are we going?”
“Didn’t you eat too much?” He chuckled. “I’m taking you somewhere to digest the food!”

They headed out after Cordelia changed. They took the bus and train, finally arriving at the business
district close to the beach in the south after walking for a little bit.
Although it was not as bustling as the city center, the thick artisan atmosphere added romance to the
exotic streets around.
Therefore, it became the place where artsy young people gathered.
Although Cordelia was a local, she hardly came here.
She looked around curiously as if she had entered a new playground. Zephyr held her on the gravel
road beneath the sycamore trees. Soon, they stopped in front of a shop.
Cordelia widened her eyes as if her heart was hit by something.
“Hubby, what’s this…”
This place was almost exactly the same as what she had imagined—large, transparent floor-to-ceiling
windows, and a small sunlit courtyard full of irises.
He smiled and led her in. The decorations were fresh and simple. There was a coffee machine behind
the wooden counter, and coffee beans of all sorts were kept in big, transparent bottles placed neatly on
the wall cabinet.

Cordelia was stunned for a long time. She looked at the man next to her blankly as she mumbled, “Am
I dreaming?”
Zephyr pinched her soft earlobe.
She suddenly smiled, almost threw herself at him, and held his neck. She was over the moon!
“Hubby, did you find this place for me?
“Am I really going to be my own boss now?
“You’re so amazing!”
Cordelia had a sudden change of expression when the excitement subsided. She let go of him. As if
recalling something, she had suspicion in her eyes.
She asked in a testing manner, “Hubby, this place is expensive, right?”
Zephyr knew she would ask that. He said nothing and merely smiled.
The suspicion in her eyes grew.
“Can you… tell me the truth?
“What is this exactly?”
