Cordelia suddenly felt like walking on the beach. She combed her long hair with a light smile and went
toward the beach in her slippers.
…
Marcus could hardly sleep at night.
It was hard for him to sleep now without Cordelia by his side. Despite that, Cordelia had bestie secrets
to talk to Linda about. A man like him could not be acting petty.
Therefore, the soft bed became his venting target. Marcus tossed and turned, eyes bigger than
saucers, as he cursed Seth over and again in his mind.
Who was this trip for!?
Good job to Seth, letting go of a chance to get closer to Linda just like that to snore in the room alone.

phone in the room rang.
“Mr. Z, Ms. Cordelia’s gone out alone.”
“What?” He was alarmed. “Where did she go?”
“Our men followed her and saw her going to the beach… But that area isn’t our private beach. It’s a
public space. Our men didn’t dare relax and kept watch, but they didn’t dare go too close for fear that

Seagulls circled the surface farther away while the sun slowly rose from the horizon, staining the sea

Cordelia could hardly witness a beautiful scene like this in the city. She watched it in a daze for a bit
before suddenly realizing that she had forgotten her phone. She was regretful as she yearned to share
the picturesque scene with Marcus.
As she thought about it, she turned back in a hurry, calculating how much time it would take. The sun

With a sweet smile, Cordelia hurried on her way. Not too far into her way back, a shadow that popped
up surprised her into screaming when she passed by the trash can.
“Ah!” Cordelia stumbled back instinctively.
The person seemed to be shocked as well and quickly avoided her. While he did so, he rummaged
through the trash can.
Cordelia stared at the person. He wore tattered clothes and was covered in filth. Only his face was
slightly cleaner, but he still looked pitiful. He must be homeless to be rummaging through the trash.
Anyone who was not at their wit’s end would not abandon their pride to look for food in the trash…
Cordelia could not help the tightening of her heart.
