Zephyr looked down.
Cordelia had a standard height among women, but in his presence, she would only reach his shoulder when she stood on tiptoe. He patted her head. A gleam that would only be revealed when he was with her flashed through his eyes.
“I wouldn’t have money to spend this month if I didn’t come, right?” he whispered and chuckled.
“How could that be possible? I’ve kept it for you!”
“Really?”
“Mm-hmm… I calculated. You’re covered when it comes to food when you go to work. You don’t have to spend anything. I’ll buy clothes for you. Now that we’re living in Royal Manor, we no longer have to pay rent. Life is much better now than when we were in Jangasas!
“Among our daily necessities, we’ll need to spend some on transportation.” Cordelia counted with her fingers. “You drive a manual car, and it saves on gas. I did some calculations. 50 dollars per month should be enough!
“So…” She took out a 50-dollar bill and waved it while smiling. She put it in his shirt pocket and patted it twice. “This is your monthly allowance. Careful when you spend it!”
Zephyr widened his eyes while frowning, and the corner of his lips twitched. He had a strange expression, making it unclear whether he was smiling or crying.
It was as he thought—he lost the money for cigarettes!
He sobbed inside. However, he could only force a smile when he saw Cordelia’s cute face.
“What?” The lady looked at him proudly. “Do you have something to say about the money I gave you?”
“No, no!” He pursed his lips. “Err… I thought we had to buy bedsheets?”
She nodded, and they went shopping in excitement.
Zephyr touched his shirt pocket to feel the 50-dollar bill. It seemed he would have to drive less this month. Maybe he should get Uncle Clark to give him a ride.
No matter what, he would have to hide the money!
…
“I have a question for you, N.”
On the second day, Zephyr called Nicholas to his office.
