A fit of giggles escaped Cordelia. How could it be the same?
Ginger’s fur was soft, and this man’s hair was as hard as his temper.
Despite that, she stroked his handsome face and flashed a soft smile.
“Darling.” Zephyr held her hand.
Cordelia thought he was hungry and told him seriously, “Aunt Helen’s on break today. There’s no one cooking.”
Perhaps they had been worn out with work recently. They exchanged a glance and shared a tacit smile, both
continuing to slack on the couch.
Cordelia had gone through 2/3 of the book she was reading while Zephyr continued hugging her after he switched
to another position.
As they looked outside, though, the weather was so nice that it would be a pity to waste it.
Zephyr’s stomach growled.
Cordelia smiled and wanted to get up to make him something to eat when he held her back.
“Cordelia, don’t bother! We can go out to eat.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Huh?” Cordelia chuckled wryly. “I really don’t want to eat at Splendor Dynasty anymore…”
Zephyr rubbed her hair with a smile. “If the head chef hears you say that, he’ll feel incredibly insulted!”
“I don’t mean it like that!” Cordelia hurried to explain, “It’s just that we’ve been so many times that I have already
memorized the menu! We should change it up sometimes.”
“Oh! Mrs. Hamerton, you’re pretty picky, huh? You want to change it up sometimes?” Zephyr hooked a finger under
her chin and stared into her eyes with his deep ones. “Are you thinking about changing me up too?”
“If that’s possible, I kind of want to.” Cordelia pushed him away with a grin.
“You—”
It triggered Zephyr, and he pulled her over to hug her so tightly she could barely breathe.
“Alright, stop it!”
Zephyr narrowed his eyes and licked his lips. If he were not hungry right now, he would make sure she learned her
lesson right there and then!
“Zephyr, where are we eating?” Cordelia looked obedient and docile. “I’ll buy today. You pick the place, okay?”
“Then…” Zephyr took out his phone for a quick search. “This one!”
Cordelia leaned over to check.
It was a social media-famous shop that was newly opened. It was quite big and was renovated luxuriously. It scored
exceptionally high on the chart.
As they browsed the photos, the menu seemed intricate, and it looked like it was a place worth trying.
Both of them decided swiftly and left as soon as they could.
Zephyr called Robert on the way.
“That place is called On Tour. Yeah, Cordelia and I both. You—”
Before he finished speaking, Cordelia snatched the phone.
“Don’t clear the place!”
Zephyr froze. “What?”
“I said don’t clear the place.” Cordelia looked at him with a beam.
“The ambiance is what matters in social media-famous restaurants like this! If you clear the place in advance and
the big space is all empty, it’ll be boring! What difference does it make from dining at Splendor Dynasty?”
Zephyr looked troubled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile growing up, the times he had been to places that were not cleared out in advance could be counted in one
hand.
He hated being in close contact with others. The feeling of rubbing shoulders in a crowd… He was uneasy just
thinking about it.
Ultimately, he held Cordelia’s hand and waited in line at the social media-famous restaurant like regular couples.
There were a lot of people, and they could not even see the end of the line in front.
Zephyr checked the time and looked at the number in his hand, thinking their lunch might have to become tea.
The restaurant was too popular and had many ways to appease its impatient patrons. There were free snacks and
drinks in the waiting area, so Cordelia got some back to share with Zephyr.
This was the man’s first time in his life having junk food in an environment like this…
“Mm, it’s quite tasty!” His eyes lit up.
Cordelia laughed. Junk food was usually the best-tasting thing in the world.
Zephyr failed to hold himself back and wanted more after a plate, but Cordelia strictly stopped him.
“Do you still want a proper meal later or not?”
