Cordelia and Zephyr officially made their home in Royal Manor.
Although Josiah had everything set up, Cordelia still thought that it only felt right that they decorated their home
personally.
This was why she roamed the streets of Centrolis and bought plenty of things during the free days after resigning
from the news agency and before she reported to Imperial Media.
She paid for everything with Zephyr’s card.
Zephyr’s phone kept buzzing while he was in meetings, notification after notification of transaction history. He
furrowed his brows, but there was an indulging smile in his eyes.
‘The purchasing power of his girl… Why did I never realize that she is a shopaholic?’
If she kept on shopping like this, his monthly allowance would be in peanuts, or he might end up like Nicholas, who
did not even have money for a pack of cigarettes!
Zephyr’s heart lurched.

looked up and panicked. “M-Mr. Zephyr?”
The department director’s lips twitched as he grimaced. “Mr. Zephyr, d-did I say something wrong?”
Zephyr did not even hear what he was saying because all that was on his mind was that his cigarette money was
gone.
‘No way!’ He stood up abruptly and rushed out of the meeting room as fast as he could.
The others were left baffled and looked toward Robert.
“What’s up with Mr. Zephyr?”
“Did something happen to the company?”
“Elder Mr. Hamerton’s doing okay, right?!”
“Shush…”
Robert palmed his forehead and sighed weakly.
He had clearly seen the notifications that Zephyr had swiped on his phone earlier and a sweet message that
Cordelia had sent.
[Baby, the bedsheets are the only thing left to buy!]
Yeah… baby—this was Cordelia’s latest term of address for him.
Robert could not help shuddering as his goosebumps raised.
…
Zephyr drove the car Cordelia had bought for him straight to the mall.
The mall was not as luxurious as DL and was only a regular one in Centrolis. Although it was under the Hamerton
Group, the company had never really cared, and the main person in charge of the mall was not even qualified to
participate in the company meeting.
Somehow, Mr. Zephyr Hamerton came today!
The person in charge was delighted and surprised. In a flurry of emotions, he took a group of people to welcome
Zephyr at the door. He was going to open the car door for the latter, but his hand shrunk back timidly when a
“Don’t touch my car!” echoed.

manage to get ready in advance. Our apologies!”
Zephyr had no time to be bothered with him. He went straight into the mall to look for Cordelia.
Cordelia was currently shopping for home goods. She held two essential oil diffusers and compared them seriously,
asking the sales assistant about the difference.
She had seen Zephyr being insomniac at night too many times. While she was sometimes groggy with sleep, she
felt bad opening her eyes and seeing he was still typing away on the laptop, looking focused.
That was why she thought of alleviating his pressure with essential oil.
After comparing, however, she looked up and realized that the bustling mall was immensely quiet. There was
nobody else on the floor besides the sales assistant and her.
Cordelia was bewildered when she heard familiar footsteps coming from afar.
The moment she saw the man’s tall build and sculpted face, she waved at him with a genuine grin.
“What brings you here?” She went over to snuggle him and looked at him with her big, bright eyes. “Didn’t you
have a meeting today?”
