Sonia smiled and touched his handsome face. "Although you seldom smile, I know what things make you smile."

"Really?" He raised his thick eyebrows. "Tell me."

"When you tease someone, you smile. When you play a trick on someone, you smile. When you make a fool of someone, you smile an evil smile. When you are unhappy, you sneer coldly with your mouth closed, and..." She trailed off and her eyelids flickered. When he looked at her like this, he smiled. His smile was real and very gentle.

She liked to see his smile because she had never seen him smile to others that way, not even to Leila. It seemed like this smile was really exclusive to her. As a matter of fact, there was another reason why she didn't regret giving up Instituto Marangoni—if she hadn't given it up, she never would have met him.

"You're so into me, aren't you?" He said in a low and joking voice. Sonia blushed, but it was masked by the dim light.

"Don't flatter yourself." She turned over and buried her face into the pillow. He smiled mischievously and tickled her neck with the growing stubble on his chin. "You know, I'm willing to give myself to you."

"I don't like you," she said mercilessly.

"Why?" His eyes darkened as he tightened his arms around her waist.

"You are such a womanizer," she said with a pout.

"Are you sure about that?" He laughed bitterly. He felt so wronged about her opinion of him.

"Yes, I'm sure." She stressed each word. On one hand, he was having fun with Leila, and on the other hand, he was playing with her. It was clear that he wanted to be with both of them, and she wasn't going to be fooled. She was full of resentment as she thought of this. She just closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, deciding to ignore him.

In the silence of the room, Daniel let out a bitter, helpless, and heavy sigh.

The next day.....

Sonia bought a pair of golden dolls that meant "happy together forever" from the gold shop. Then, she went to Finney's house with Daniel to congratulate her on getting her marriage certificate with Antony.

Finney was very happy to see the pair of golden dolls. Her cousin was now so popular that she could spend a lot of money on gifts.

Once the coffee was ready, she took out porcelain cups from the cupboard.

Of course, the best coffee should be put in the best cup. Finney was a pretty woman who knew how to enjoy life.

"It's very hot. Be careful—" Before Sonia could finish her sentence, Finney exclaimed, "Ah!" The pot of coffee was scalding hot, so she immediately had to pull her hand back and accidentally knocked over a cup on the counter.

The cup fell onto the tile and broke into pieces.

Daniel and Antony rushed in as soon as they heard the noise.

"Are you all right? Did you get hurt?" Daniel asked Sonia the moment he saw the broken cup on the floor.

Meanwhile, all of Antony's attention was on the cup. "What happened? How could you be so careless? That was an Italian porcelain cup. It was very expensive! I told you not to use it, but you insisted on using it, and now it's broken!" he shouted. He looked really angry.

Though Finney felt bad, she didn't want to see him make a fuss over it, so she said, "It's just a cup. How about we buy another one on our honeymoon in Rome next time?"

"But It's not..." Antony stopped speaking at once.

"What?" Finney asked.

"Nothing." Antony swallowed the rest of his sentence, leaving behind a gloomy expression on his face.

To ease the intense atmosphere, Sonia said, "Antony, my cousin's hand is hurt. We have to apply some medicine to it."

Antony snorted from his nose and dragged Finney out to put some medicine on her wound.

"Don't move. Let me clean it up. Be careful or you might get cut." Daniel stopped Sonia.

He picked up the broken pieces on the floor and swept the remaining debris away.

Then, Sonia carefully put the other cups into the cupboard, and took out the ordinary ones to pour the coffee into. Then, she said, "My cousin-in-law must like those cups so much that he couldn't control his anger."

"No matter how much he likes it, it's still not important as his wife," Daniel replied in a low voice. Sonia reached for the coffee pot, but Daniel grasped the handle first. "Just wait outside. I'll do it." The little fool was always in a daze whenever she was doing something, and he didn't want her to get hurt.

"Oh, alright." Uttering these words, Sonia walked out of the kitchen. She had gotten used to staying at home and not touching anything dangerous, such as knives and other sharp things, hot water, etc. He had even offered to help her cut vegetables. He looked like a man who had never done any housework in his life and was very bad at chopping. He even ended up getting a cut in his hand.
Sonia walked slowly, deep in thought. For some reason, she felt warm in her heart.

In the living room, Finney was in a huff. It had only been half a month since they got their marriage registered, but Antony's attitude towards her had changed greatly. He had even been limiting her expenses.

Now, he had gotten mad at her for breaking an expensive coffee cup. What a joke! He didn't seem like a CEO at all.

Daniel served the coffee to Sonia.

Upon seeing that Finney and Antony were still mad at each other, Sonia tried to come up with a topic to ease the tension in the room. "Finney, this coffee is so good. Can you buy some for me the next time you go to a business trip to Japan?"

"Okay," Finney said with a nod.

"Are you going to spend your honeymoon in Rome? That's so romantic!"

"Yes, and not only Rome. We're going to travel all over Europe." Finally, Finney's expression became warmer. She had always wanted to go to Europe. 

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Finney stood up and opened the door.

Outside was an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

"May I ask who you are looking for?" Finney asked.

"I am the landlord of this house. Is Mr. Antony there?"

"Landlord?" Finney was astounded. "Are you mistaken? This is our own house."

Antony suddenly rushed over like a wild wind from the balcony and closed the door. "He must be mentally ill. The stock market has taken a deep plunge recently, and a lot of people have gone insane over it. You must be careful in the future. Don't just open the door to anyone."

"What?" Finney trembled. She did hear a lot of her colleagues talking about the plummeting of the stock market. And there were even people who committed suicide because they felt trapped.

But the man outside the door didn't give up. He rang the doorbell again and again while yelling, "Mr. Antony, you only rented this house for three months. If you don't want to renew your contract, then you have to move out as soon as possible."

With a nervous expression on his face, Antony started sweating. He said, "I'll go out to calm him down, but you must not come out."

Daniel stood up. "I'll go with you."

Antony immediately waved his hand and said, "No, I'm afraid that he will just get provoked." After saying that, he opened the door and walked out in a hurry, fearing that Daniel would follow him.
