It was an ordinary sedan—small engine capacity, fuel-efficient, not exactly roomy, and cost less than $15,000.

Not even the Hamertons’ servants would drive this kind of car, but Zephyr liked it very much. It was because Cordelia’s eyes sparkled when she saw the car, and he liked the sparkle in her eyes.

“Honey, what do you think?” Cordelia held his arm.

Zephyr smiled. “As long as you like it.”

“I quite like it, but this is for you. You’ve got to like it too!”

Cordelia knew that men felt more for cars. Cars were like their other wives. She ought to pick one that he would like.

“Linda and I browsed a lot of them and think this one’s the best from all aspects. Do you want to test drive it, darling?”

“No need.” Zephyr looked at her. “We’ll take this one. I like it.”

Cordelia grinned sweetly and began discussing the color of the car. Black was cool, but she hoped he could pick white. He was already barely smiling usually, so it would be scarier if he drove a black car.

As she spoke, she giggled.

Zephyr watched her quietly. He listened as she chattered and giggled like a happy little birdy. His expression suddenly dimmed, and he furrowed his brows. He followed her with his deep gaze, unwilling to break eye contact for even a moment.

Nicholas chuckled. “Those million-dollar cars in your garage can’t even compare to this one for less than $15,000, right?”

Zephyr stayed silent.

“If you’re worried that your identity will scare her, it’s unnecessary.” Nicholas patted his shoulder. “This one of yours is bold and wise. She’s a cool one. She won’t be frightened!”

“I know.” Zephyr glanced at him.

Cordelia would not be scared away, but she was independent and clear-headed. She would not accept a marriage where the disparity between them was this significant. She would definitely keep a distance and leave him by then.

If she could not walk into his world, he was willing to give up everything and enter hers.

“Darling!”

Zephyr snapped out of his thoughts to see Cordelia waving at him with a grin.
