Soon, someone served a plate of shrimp ravioli.

Cordelia was calm. She scooped one up lightly. The hot ravioli exuded the fragrance of the sea. Zephyr could smell it.

He peeped at her again, but she was not looking at him.

His heart sank.

However, Cordelia suddenly stood up soon. She brought an empty plate and picked out the herbs on top. Later on, she scooped half of the ravioli into the plate.

She shoved it toward him and said, after a long time. “Eat.”

Zephyr was stunned and smiled. That was the first thing she said to him since she was discharged from the hospital. He could not help but get excited.

He recalled the time she treated him to a meal at the Regalia Hotel. She had not had much, but she would fulfill his request. She had ordered lobster risotto almost forcefully. She gave half of it to him when it was served and ate almost nothing.

He suddenly thought this lady would not leave him even if he became a beggar one day.

She could accept a man who had been in prison before, but why could she not accept him?

He put down the fork and looked at her with all seriousness.

“Cordelia, I need to talk to you.”

Cordelia suddenly froze. She looked around before lifting her eyes slowly and felt a little uncomfortable when they locked eyes. She was scared.

“Mar—” She almost called him by the wrong name again. She pursed her lips and only called out softly a moment later, “Mr. Hamerton…”

Zephyr felt a squeeze in his heart.
