“Combining my savings and the return from my investment…” The lady revealed excitement at the
corner of her eyes. “Hubby, guess how much we have now?!”
Zephyr shook his head while chuckling.
Cordelia whispered the number and could not stop smiling.
“Hubby, I can finally get you a car!”
“What?” Zephyr put down the cutlery and looked at her with slight confusion.
“I’m getting you a car!” she repeated. “Didn’t I tell you that I wanted to get you a car so that you won’t
have to use public transportation? It’s just that I didn’t have enough savings before.”
Zephyr felt warm.
It seemed her salary had doubled when she was promoted to sales supervisor at the previous
company.
She had said she would get a mortgage to buy a house, and then she would buy him a car for
convenience.
It seemed she never felt the pain of spending money on him…

“You don’t have to buy me a car. Just save it for your mom and Carter.”
“I’ve set aside money for them!” Cordelia smiled. “Although taking care of them is important, I can’t
mistreat my hubby! I said I’d buy you a car, so I’ll definitely get you one.”
“I think… you said that you’d take care of me for the rest of my life, right?” His voice was dry.
Cordelia nodded in all seriousness.
She had said she would take care of him for the rest of his life. She could not miss a day, an hour, a
minute, or even a second.
“It’s set, hubby.” She scooped food on his plate. “Let’s look at cars this weekend! Oh yeah, I’m bringing
Linda along. She worked at a car dealer when she was studying. She knows cars better!”
Zephyr could not fight her with that, so he followed her to a car dealership on the weekend.
Never had he thought Linda would bring Nicholas along.
The store manager was stunned to see him. He looked all high and mighty before, but now he behaved
like a lackey. He was faking a big smile.
“N! Wow… Why are you here today? You should’ve told me that you were coming so that I could lay a
red carpet for you!”
“So, he’s the legendary N?” A few sales assistants discussed quietly. “He has the majesty of a gangster
head indeed…”
“No wonder our manager looks like he’s meeting his ancestor when he talks to him.”
“But why is he here at our store? Is he wanted by the police?”
“Shh…”
Nicholas felt helpless and pulled his hoodie low.
He did not want to come today. The most expensive car in the store was less than $75,000. It was lame
to be here…
He looked annoyed.
Cordelia and Linda were picking cars excitedly, while Nicholas faked a chuckle when he arrived before
Zephyr. “Mr. Z, I guess it’s your first time coming to such a car dealership, right?”
Zephyr ignored him when he saw his teasing expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicholas smiled. “Sigh, Z, I guess you can’t even buy a wheel for your car at home with the price of the
most expensive car here, right?
“So… The car that Cordelia is going to buy for you shouldn’t surpass $15,000. Will you get used to
driving it?”
Zephyr tutted and patted his shoulder.
“You can’t even afford cigarettes, yet you want to talk about cars with me?”
Nicholas’ expression changed. “You…”
“I’m in a pickle, you know,” Zephyr was pretentious. “My wife keeps wanting to buy things for me. She
keeps wanting to spend money on me, worried that she’ll mistreat me.
“What should I do, Nicholas? I’m so annoyed!”
“F*ck you!” said Nicholas.
Zephyr could no longer hold back. He turned around to walk to Cordelia.
“Right on time, hubby!” Cordelia pointed at one of the cars. “I’ve discussed it with Linda. This car’s
cost-effectiveness is the highest, and it’s within our budget.
“Look, do you like it?”
