Zephyr looked at the reviews on his phone with a dark gaze.
A new shop would barely attract this much attention. The only possibility was like what Cordelia had
said—someone was cooking something up behind them.
These reviews were obviously left intentionally by paid posters.
Zephyr suspected Nicholas too, but he denied the thought as soon as it popped up. Given Nicholas’
character and status, he would not resort to such a cheap and roundabout approach.
Moreover, the tactic looked like a petty fight among women. If Nicholas did want to target him, he could
easily declare war.
It also did not look like what a business rival would do. There were many cafes around the area, but
they all had their distinct colors and niched target customers. Everyone was basically fine with each
other.
Therefore, the person who had hired the paid posters to target them was highly likely to be targeting

The answer grew clearer to Zephyr, but he took all the responsibilities on himself with a smile upon
seeing his wife’s grimace.
“Your analysis is right. I offended many people in the past. I don’t even know who’s taking the
opportunity to seek revenge.”
His voice was husky. “Honey, it’s my fault. I’m incapable and caused you trouble again.”
“Nothing like that!” Cordelia looked at him seriously and rubbed his face. The most unacceptable thing
to her was people calling her husband useless—not even the man himself was allowed!
“My husband’s the most capable man in the world! We’ve got to think of a solution now that it’s
happened, not dwell on it, right?”
“But my past could possibly be our burden for life.”
“So?” Cordelia smiled. “Burden or storm, I’m your wife. I’ll weather it together with you! I’ve been
prepared since the day I married you!”
“Really?” Zephyr’s eyes glittered.
“Silly man, of course!” Cordelia stood on tiptoe to rub her nose with his. “I can’t cut you off from your
past and pick and choose which part of you I want, right?”
“You’ll accept me no matter what my past status or identity is?”
“Of course! Why do you keep asking nonsense today?”
Zephyr stared at her in a daze before he chuckled like he was relieved. The rock that had been
weighing him down felt like it was slowly being lifted.
Dusk was unusually beautiful that night. The purple irises bloomed around the cafe, and the air smelled
sweet.
There was no customer in the shop, but Zephyr was so happy that he felt like he could float in the air.
Cordelia looked at him strangely, wondering what was wrong with him.
“Darling, did you hear what I said?”
It was then Zephyr broke out of his trance. “Hmm?”

Cordelia replied speechlessly, “I said, the solution I can think of is to spend some money and get
people to remove the negative reviews. As for how much we have to spend and who we’re getting to
do that, I’ll have to ask around!”
“No need for that. Leave it to me.”
“What?”
Zephyr paused and explained in a low tone, “This… This is a man’s job. Don’t worry about it.”
Cordelia smiled and snuggled against him. She felt infinitely secure with him around.
Business was bad those few days. The desserts in the pastry case could not be sold and were left until
they got moldy.
Cordelia was afraid that the coffee beans would get damp, so she took them out to air every day,
making the cafe smell of the coffee aroma as well.
Even when she hung up the plate with “Buy 1 Get 1 Free”, no one came to buy coffee from her.
The passersby would point fingers and whisper comments before they hurried off as if they had seen
something filthy.
