The man licked his lips. “It’s said that a felon who was freed not too long ago is roaming this area. He has no proper job and sustains himself picking trash. He has also scared a few tourists by the beach.”

Josiah squinted and felt suspicions rising.

“Get the surveillance recording,” he instructed seriously. “I want recordings from every corner. No angle missed!”

It was sunny, and the beautiful cafe was bustling.

Cordelia brewed coffee and made desserts behind the counter as she listened to her friends chat and laugh. While taking in the aroma in the place, bliss enveloped her, and she pulled the corners of her lips up.

A big hand landed on her shoulder softly. She turned back to meet a pair of deep, loving eyes.

“Tired?” The man smiled. “Leave them. I’ll take care of it.”

“It’s okay.” Cordelia shook her head. “The busier I get, the happier I am!”

There was a hair tie on Zephyr’s wrist. He stood behind her and gently pulled her long hair up.

“Oh, yeah, there are still things you need to pick up.” Cordelia turned back to look at him. “You’ll have to take care of the cafe when I work. Making coffee and milk tea is fine. What matters the most is… You can’t keep your poker face on. You need to learn to smile, or the customers will be scared away!”

Well, Zephyr could not help it. He could smile at her, but he could not do so with others.

“Come on.” Cordelia prodded him. “Go chat with them and smile at them. Practice your smile!”

Zephyr was rendered speechless.
