Zephyr looked at the screen. Cordelia had already created a clear and tangible form. He buried his nose in her hair
and took a deep breath.
“With you around now, any tricky accounts will be easy to handle.”
“Easy to say!” Cordelia turned around to rub their noses together. They could not help chuckling when their eyes
met.
“Honey, it’s not just easy for me to say…” Zephyr spoke hoarsely next to her ear. “It’s easy for me to ‘do’ too!”
Cordelia’s attention was on the accounts, and she clearly did not catch what he meant, so she asked seriously,
“What did you do? Have you paid attention to anything at home other than the tasks at the company?
“I’ve recalculated. The whole Hamerton Manor’s income and expenses can be balanced generally, but if any
unnecessary expenses are removed and the resources are reformed, we could save even more and even make a

“Hey, I’m talking to you. Did you hear me?”
What did the man want? She was talking to him about serious matters, and he was burying his face in her embrace.
He was too much!
“Zephyr Hamerton!”
“Darling, I don’t want to hear it.” Zephyr, who was not pleased, threw a tantrum to make her go back to sleep with
him for a bit longer.
Despite that, Cordelia lifted a hand and changed his monthly allowance of $70 to $45 directly!
Zephyr’s eyes went round.
“Right, I gave you a black card before. Give it back too.”
“Honey… I earned that myself!”
“I’ve changed the rules for the Hamertons now. Everything starts afresh!”
Cordelia could not help giggling behind her hand as she looked at him gaping like a deflated balloon.
Zephyr sighed and performed a long analysis on her, claiming that she must not exploit labor like this. Not even a
capitalist would be harsh enough to pay only $45… How was he supposed to live?!
Cordelia suddenly turned around and held his face with both hands.
There was light in her eyes, and she grinned as soon as she looked at him.
“Aww, looks like Mr. Zephyr opposes this very much…” Cordelia’s voice was soft and sweet. “Why, is $45 too little?”
“You think it’s a lot?”
“The basic salary is not much, but…” Cordelia chuckled. Her cherry lips were pressed against his ear, and what she
said sent tremors down his spine.
“But I’ll give you the chance to make some commission!”

When he looked at their bedside table and saw the bottle of tonic his father-in-law had given him standing there
quietly, he thought he should give it a try.
After all, the commission he was about to make had to be excellent in both quantity and quality! The more he
worked, the more he’d earn!
…
Cordelia woke up eventually early in the morning.
The side effect of a passionate wedding night was a sore body that felt like a truck had run over it.
She pushed herself up and went downstairs to look for Zephyr.
The man seemed to have spent a while on the couch. His expression was grim and a dark cloud fogged his eyes,
vanishing once he saw Cordelia.
“Did something happen?” Cordelia was sensitive and noted that he looked off.
She went over to hold his hand, saying softly, “Tell me if something’s off. We’re actually husband and wife now. No
matter what happens, I’ll face it with you.”
