Cordelia’s hand froze in midair before she pulled it back awkwardly.
Zennie knew that she had lost her composure a little. Her phone buzzed with messages—Phil was urging her to
drug Cordelia immediately.
Her tears were almost pooling in her eyes as her feet and hands went cold. Her heart ached so much that she
could barely hold her phone.
“Zennie, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Cordelia held her hand. “Oh, you’re so cold!”
“Nothing, I’m fine!” Zennie denied and frantically pulled her hand back.
After adjusting her emotions, she took a few deep breaths and smiled at Cordelia. “Cordelia, I’m buying today, so
order whatever you want!”

Zennie paused and nodded.
Cordelia was running the household now. Although she did her best to be fair, she secretly gave a part of her
money to Zennie. The girl’s monthly allowance was even double what she had before Cordelia took over.
“Cordelia, thank you…” Zennie’s voice was low.
“What’s there to thank me about?” Cordelia smiled. “You’re our princess. There’s no fault in spoiling you!
Besides…”
She held Zennie’s hand. “We get along so well. As you sis-in-law, I should indulge you more!”
What she said made Zennie’s heart clench badly. She kept sniffing and took a deep breath before she pushed the
coffee she ordered to Cordelia.

Cordelia felt her heart drop looking at it. What was supposed to happen had still happened.
Despite that, she still wanted to make a bet—on Zennie’s feelings for her.
Cordelia asked with a smile, “You’ve already ordered?”
“Mm, I ordered before you came…” Zennie’s hand kept picking the wooden table. “It’s the cafe’s new launch, dirty
coffee. It looks dirty but tastes decent.”
Cordelia looked at the coffee silently.
The aroma of the dark roast coffee beans mixed with milk greeted her. Perhaps there was something else added in
there…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCordelia looked up at Zennie in full concentration. “Zennie, the coffee’s quite surprising. It actually looks dirty.”
“Hah, it looks dirty but tastes good.”
“So…” Cordelia had a complicated gaze. “To someone, it’d be not judging a book by its cover, right?”
“Cordelia…” Zennie jolted.
“Some people look dirty, but their heart is pure, while some people look well-dressed, but their heart is filth. Right?”
Cordelia spoke with implied meaning. Zennie was not stupid and ducked her head after listening.
Cordelia smiled. “But since you’ve recommended it, I’ll have a sip to try it out!”
She picked up the mug and sent it to her mouth. Her movement was slow, finding the short seconds agonizing. As
her arm went up, her heart dropped.
She could not drink this coffee, but the mug was approaching her lips. Just as Cordelia contemplated what she
should do, she heard Zennie cry, “Cordelia, don’t drink it!”
