Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 150

Zephyr looked at her quietly.

Cordelia suddenly saw a complicated expression in his deep eyes. Her heart was pounding, and her palms were sweating. She pursed her lips.

She only heard her husband speak with a deep voice a long time later.

"I looked for this place for a long time and negotiated with the landlord a few times before renting and renovating it."

Cordelia was stunned.

"You said you wanted a cafe." His face softened as his rough fingers caressed her face. "I kept that in mind.

"So I compared a few shops when I had the time, and eventually decided on this one because I think this matches your requirement.

His voice was deep, with a pampering hint hiding within. "Wifey, your husband can't do anything, but I'll do my best and pay any price to get whatever you want."

What he said sent a jolt to her heart. She held his hand tightly.

"You must've spent a lot of money, right?"

"Hmm, quite a lot." She would not believe it if he said he did not, so he thought he would be serious about it. "It's enough adding up the money I won from the competitions, the salaries, and the commissions I got lately."

To be honest, Cordelia felt pain.

She knew that he must have made quite a lot from the competitions, but he exchanged that with sweat and blood. She refused his salary when he offered because she did not want to splurge on his hard- earned money.

She wanted him to treat himself better, to be able to spend on whatever he wanted.

She did not want him to keep making money.

Never had she thought to spend his money, yet he spent it on her.

"Didn't I ask you to keep the money!?" She looked at him in a blaming manner.

"I kept it for you." He smiled. "It's worth it to spend to fulfill your dream."

"I have many dreams!" She pouted. "Can you fulfill all of them for me?"

"I certainly can."

He held her tight, burying her tiny head in his chest.

Cordelia's smile was bright like the sun. She could hear his strong heartbeat but not the fear hiding within.

She did not know that he just wanted to improve now. If that were the case, perhaps when his identity came to light one day, she would not leave him.

Zephyr led her behind the counter. He picked light roast coffee beans from Emepa and put them into the coffee machine.

"Let me be your first customer today," he said with a smile, raising his eyebrows. "One black coffee, please."

Cordelia agreed while smiling. She made coffee professionally.

The sky was turning dark, and the lights were lit outside. The sycamore trees were swaying in the breeze. The shop was filled with coffee fragrances. Cordelia leaned on Zephyr, watching the sky afar. A smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Slowly but surely, she seemed to be walking into her colorful dream.

A small launch party was held at the cafe on the weekend.

They struggled to come up with a name for the cafe for many days and decided to use what they had in the end.

It was called Iris.

There were irises everywhere in the courtyard, while the language of the flower meant happiness and love.

It was a sunny day. The clouds floated in the blue sky like clumps of cotton candies, and the summer vibe filled the place.

Zennie was the first who came with a gift. She kept asking for tea and desserts before she went in. She even asked to take them away for her night snack.

However, seeing Zephyr's serious face, she stood frozen at the door like a mouse meeting a cat.

"What's wrong?" Cordelia shook him and said with a smile, "Oh, yes, you haven't met Ms. Hamerton, right? Let me introduce you guys!"

She pulled him to Zennie.

They locked eyes, and Zennie put in a great effort to suppress the smile that was coming.
