Chapter 490: The Shopping
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

At the same time…Inside the car, Cordelia rested her right hand gently atop Benjamin’s, the other hand scrolling through something on her phone. Benjamin glanced at her briefly with a soft smile, then took his own phone from his pocket and tapped a number.It rang once… then connected.Benjamin sat up slightly, his voice warmening.“Mom.”The moment Cordelia heard that single word, she froze. Her heart skipped — she quickly turned off her phone’s screen and placed it carefully beside her, now fully attentive.Evelyn’s delighted voice poured through the speakers.“My son, how are you?”Benjamin relaxed back into his seat.“I’m fine, Mom. How are you?”They exchanged a few gentle greetings — then Benjamin paused… cleared his throat subtly.His fingers tightened around Cordelia’s.“Mom… Cordelia is here with me.”Cordelia’s breath hitched.Her cheeks warmed as though she had been caught doing something bold.There was a surprised silence on Evelyn’s end — only for a second — before her

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
Chapter 487: 28 Hours Keft
Cordelia’s eyes fluttered open the next day, and the first thing she saw was Benjamin — fast asleep, his bare chest rising and falling beneath her cheek.A smile blossomed on her face, remembering the intimacy they shared the night before. Gently, she peppered his cheek with small kisses — one, two, three… until his eyes cracked open, hazy but full of warmth.Seeing her, Benjamin slid his arm tighter around her waist and murmured with a lazy grin,“Hey, mama…”Cordelia’s cheeks turned a shade pinker as she asked softly,“How are you feeling?”Instead of answering, Benjamin tilted his head slightly, his lips curving in mischief.“Did you enjoy last night?”Cordelia’s breath hitched — embarrassment and joy flaring at once. She gave the smallest shy nod.“I loved it…” she whispered, before crawling up to kiss his lips, lingering just a second longer than necessary.“I love you so much.”Benjamin’s hand slid up to cup her face, his thumb brushing her cheek.“I love you too,” he said deepl

Warning: This chapter contains explicit scenes “Hubby!” Cordelia exclaimed, her tone playful yet slightly impatient. “Can you hand me the shampoo from the shelf, and the conditioner is over there—please, the towel too?”Benjamin chuckled softly, shaking his head with a grin. 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
Chapter 485: First Night
Marshall swallowed his pride along with the pain, unable to argue. Benjamin then casually snapped his fingers. Rakshasha and the other men stepped into formation instantly — opening car doors and ensuring the families moved. Cordelia looked once more at her parents’ grave, placing her palm gently against the stone. Benjamin waited… giving her that moment of peace. Then he offered his hand. “Let’s go home, Mrs. Westbrook,” he said softly. Cordelia smiled, slipping her hand into his. Rose hurried behind them, following closely. Marshall limped with his wife’s support, head lowered. Meanwhile, in the Hansens’ car… Jacob Hansen gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turned white. His face was dark and trembling with pure rage. “That son of a bitch dared humiliate me?” Jacob spat, his voice rough with fury. “In front of everyone… in front of the entire industry? I must kill him. I will kill him.” Stella sat beside him, equally humiliated and fanning her anger. “He sh
