Zephyr was speechless. He slowly shifted there and looked back at her with each step he took, hoping his wife would take back her order.
Despite that, Cordelia kept up an encouraging gaze and smile, putting him in a dilemma.
Ultimately, he gnashed his teeth with his mind made up and went to Zennie and the others.
The group was chatting merrily and was surprised when they looked up at him.
“M-Mr. Grist…” Linda was the first to notice that something was wrong and probed. “What is it?”
Zephyr looked tense and stern, standing straight and frozen for a few seconds… before he suddenly flashed his pearly whites!
The others widened their eyes and fell back, staring at him in disbelief. A few quiet seconds ticked past, and boisterous peals of laughter erupted in the small cafe.
Cordelia rushed over upon hearing the noise and was greeted by the group's guffawing. Zennie and Fredric almost fell off their chairs too! She then looked at her husband… The corners of his lips slowly went down, and he glowered harder.
Cordelia grimaced. He had already looked terrifying but felt even scarier when he smiled. It seemed that this man was really not cut for the service industry.
“Alright, stop laughing!” Cordelia hooked arms with Zephyr. She feared his pride would get hurt and tried to salvage some of it. “My husband just looks cold but has a warm heart. He was amazing just now! Besides, there’s an adaptation process to everything!
Her gaze was warm. “Darling, you smiled really nicely just now! Just keep working on it!”
Zephyr was stunned and tightened his hold on the girl’s hand.
Linda got up to put both her hands on Cordelia’s shoulders. “Yeah, your superman husband can do everything! He’s the guardian treasure of the cafe!”
“Of course!” Cordelia looked at the man next to her admiringly. “Our business will only get better with my husband here!”
“Mn!” Seth stood up. “Your life will get better too!”
“Yeah!” Linda beamed. “Since your life’s improving, should you two consider adding a new member to the family?”
