He glanced over, checking the bathroom through the slightly open door. He saw her standing there, looking adorable in her shower attire, giving him directions with a shy smile. He chuckled softly, shaking his head.“Coming, my lady,” he replied, getting up.Benjamin took the shampoo, conditioner, and towel in his hands and quietly stepped toward the bathroom. He handed them to Cordelia, keeping his voice soft.“Here you go,” he said, smiling, making sure she got everything she needed.He didn’t step back immediately, though. Standing just outside the glass partition, he caught a glimpse of her shadow moving behind the frosted glass. He saw her starting to undress, her silhouette perfectly defined. Benjamin’s hear

Meanwhile inside the mansion…Rhoda sat forward on the couch, arms folded tightly as her eyes drilled into Marshall. Her voice carried a sharp edge of panic masked as anger.“How do you even plan on finding that useless butler? You talk and talk but do nothing!” she snapped.Meanwhile inside the mansion…Rhoda sat forward on the couch, arms folded tightly as her eyes drilled into Marshall. Her voice carried a sharp edge of panic masked as anger.“How do you even plan on finding that useless butler? You talk and talk but do nothing!” she snapped.Marshall exhaled slowly, frustration already creasing his forehead. “I’ve made a few calls already. I’m waiting for feedback. The moment I hear anything, I’ll act.”Rhoda laughed bitterly. “And what if we’re kicked out before your big ‘feedback’ comes? What happens then, Marshall?” She leaned closer, voice rising, “Where will we go? What will we eat? Or do you expect us to beg Cordelia?”Marshall clenched his jaw, but he didn’t lash out. He st

Cordelia blinked, her fingers pausing on the silver crest.Eight in the world?She quickly tried to put it back, her heart racing a little.“It’s too much,” she murmured.Benjamin chuckled — the kind of chuckle that said you’re adorable for thinking that matters.“Cordelia,” he said, rising and stepping toward her, “if you like something, that’s enough reason.”He took the bag from her gently, holding it up near her shoulder.“And it suits you perfectly.”Her cheeks warmed — a soft blush blooming.“But—” she tried again.“No buts,” Benjamin said calmly. “You’re my wife. And my wife doesn’t second-guess what she deserves.”Cordelia’s lips parted slightly — no argument left in her.Cordelia, still shyly admiring the bag, suddenly snapped back into reality. She bit her lip lightly and looked at the attendant.“How much… is this?” she asked quietly.The attendant smiled politely, hands folded.“This piece goes for ₣129,800,” she said — the number flowing out casually.Cordelia nearly chok

Benjamin lifted a spoonful of food and blew gently before turning to Cordelia with a small, soft smile. “Here,” he said. Cordelia blinked, surprised—but leaned slightly forward, letting him feed her. Her cheeks warmed as she chewed shyly and smiled back at him. She then scooped a bit of her own dish and nudged it toward Benjamin’s lips. “Your turn,” she whispered. Benjamin leaned in and took the bite without breaking eye contact, like she was the only person in the room who mattered. The driver watched quietly, amused by their sweetness, as he ate his meal calmly. They were about to finish eating when the driver’s phone rang again—loud enough to draw glances from nearby tables. The driver stiffened, quickly trying to silence it, but Benjamin’s eyes narrowed this time. “Give me the phone,” he said calmly. The driver froze. “S-sir, it’s nothing. I—” “Phone.” Benjamin’s tone left no room for refusal. Reluctantly, the driver handed it over. Benjamin answered, “Hello?” A woman’

The driver nodded quickly, emotion heavy in his eyes. He lifted his hand and pointed gently at Benjamin.“Meet my boss,” he said with pride. Then he turned slightly and gestured to Cordelia. “And this is his wife.”The woman’s eyes widened as she looked at both of them. Surprise quickly turned into warmth.“Oh… really?” she said softly. “Welcome, you two. My husband talks about you a lot,” she added, looking at Benjamin with respect.Benjamin gave a calm nod and a small smile.“We heard you were scheduled for surgery for fibroid,” he said evenly. “So we asked him to come here immediately. Don’t worry about anything, the full hospital bill has been handled. You can focus on getting well and having a successful operation.”The woman gasped. Her eyes filled instantly with tears.“The full bill?” she asked, trying to adjust herself on the bed in shock.Benjamin gently raised his hand.“Please don’t stress yourself,” he said calmly. “Yes, everything has been taken care of.”She looked at
