Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 166

Nicholas had never thought that a man with such high social status like Zephyr would have such an ordinary side to him.

One of the account entries was probably wrong, as Cordelia talked to Zephyr with a stern expression. The latter, more than six feet in height, hung his head like an elementary school kid who had done something wrong.

The scene astonished Nicholas.

Zephyr was just a homey husband when he was with Cordelia. He was scared of his wife, would get nagged by his wife, and had to give her the money he earned—like millions of men in the world, he did not have much say in the household.

He did not long for the spot which tens of thousands looked up upon him in the past, but he was happy with days that he had to bow down to his wife.

Shocked, Nicholas tightened his fists. He went closer. The cafe’s door was opened, and the husband and wife’s conversation could be heard clearly.

“Darling, just listen to me. The price should be adjusted lower!”

“But we’re selling good stuff. We can’t lower our own value.”

“We’re not making a loss. We’re just selling them at a slightly lower price than usual. We’d sell more and make a faster turnover!” Cordelia insisted, “Like these desserts that aren’t sold on the day, we can sell them at a discount at night. It’s better than keeping them until the next day, in which case they won’t be fresh anymore!”

Zephyr looked at her dotingly with a smile. Would he not know these business rules when he had spent his time growing up in the Hamertons?

It was just that Cordelia had to go to work in the office and take care of the cafe. She woke up early and slept late to prepare the desserts and grind coffee. He did not want her effort to be sold at a discounted price. He would rather eat them himself than for the outsiders to take this advantage!

“It’s fine if we can’t sell them,” he said softly. “I’m in the shop. I’ll—”

“You’ll what?” Cordelia knocked his head with her pen. “Honey, we’re managing a business here! We’ll close down with how you’re eating everything!”

Zephyr grinned.
