Cordelia screamed, but it was too late for her to run. Zephyr pressed against her within a blink of an eye.
The man grabbed her wrists and whispered into her ear, “Wifey, how much is there in the card?”
She was honest and answered without even thinking about it, “This is your old black card. There’s no money in
there, but it’s unlimited spending—”
The beastly-like man kissed her before she was done speaking.
She could not breathe.
…
When they were done, Cordelia lazily leaned on him. She felt as if she had collapsed.
Zephyr grabbed her shoulders softly, revealing a satisfied smile.
He was not sleepy at all.

He grinned. “Ms. Jenner, your service is unlimited.”
Cordelia grabbed the blanket tightly to wrap herself in it. Her big eyes looked at him with her guard up.
Zephyr was soft-heartened. He grabbed her into his embrace and patted her smooth back.
“Okay, I’ll let you go,” he said gently. “Have a good rest.”
She chuckled and held his neck with her hands.
“I don’t feel as sleepy now.” She looked at him. “Why don’t we talk?”
“Sure, anything you want.”
But what were they going to talk about?
Cordelia knew that he usually had many taboos. When they were together, he did not want to hear about her work,
another man’s name, or talk about girls that he used to know…
No matter what they talked about, they could not avoid these two topics—getting married and sex.
Her cheeks flushed. She buried herself into his embrace like a kitten.
“What’s wrong?” Zephyr was stunned. “Are you not feeling well?”
“No…” Cordelia smiled and squeezed a topic. “Zen, we seem to have missed the meteor shower tonight.”
“Oh, right.” He nodded, “I heard it started at 8:00 p.m., and it’s almost 2:00 a.m. now…”
“It’s all—”
Before Cordelia could say, “your fault”, Zephyr came up with an excuse.
“It’s okay. Have you forgotten that your husband is better than a meteor shower? I’ll fulfill any wishes that you
have.”
Cordelia smiled. She did not have any crazy wishes. All she wanted was for her family to be healthy, to have a great
career, and to grow old with him.

Her dimples were showing as she smiled when she thought of that. As she stared at him, there seemed to be stars
in her eyes.
Zephyr was confused.
She asked. “Zen, what do you think of Uncle Irwin?”
He was stunned. “Why are you… talking about him out of nowhere?”
Cordelia smiled. She had something in mind.
When they really got married, a man should give her to Zephyr’s hands!
William would definitely not come, while Carter was too young. Nobody suited the role.
She did not know many people to begin with, let alone men. She was close to Rowan, and he cared a lot for her. He
was the best candidate.
However, Zephyr did not think the same. He still had his guard on against Rowan.
