During the small talk, without even noticing, the plane had already arrived in city A of country Z.

A custom car was waiting at the airport.

After Edward White and Alexander Kingsley got off the plane, they got into the car and went straight to the pre-arranged grand hotel.

Upon arriving in city A, the two first went for a meal, and by evening, Edward White drove off in a sports car, while Alexander Kingsley went to a certain place.

...

Eight o’clock in the evening.

Inside the Butterfly Lovers café.

Carla Carr was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee. Three years, she lost three people: Alexander Kingsley, Eva Nightingale, and the baby... This lifetime, Alexander Kingsley would never know she was once pregnant with his child!

But she didn’t take care of her and Alexander Kingsley’s child well; it was born prematurely, stayed a few days in the incubator, and then died... Of course, Alexander Kingsley would never know... how hard it has been these years.

Back then, she took Eva Nightingale’s money, set some aside, and opened a café named "Butterfly Lovers" in this city.

"Eva... I’m sorry—"

Two hours later, the café closed.

Usually, it stayed open until late at night, but today Carla Carr had something to do, so it closed at ten, and the staff got off work early.

...

Just as she went downstairs, there stood a tall figure in front of Carla Carr: "I want a coffee."

Carla Carr: "Closed... it is."

As she spoke, she looked up and was stunned to see Alexander Kingsley!!

Why is it him?

"We’re closed... Mr. Kingsley, I’m sorry, could you come back another day for coffee?!"

Carla Carr’s tone was a bit distant, a bit guilty. She no longer had that previous arrogance; now she wasn’t like a little thug but rather a graceful woman, the kind full of femininity.

Alexander Kingsley’s face was initially cold, but looking at her, his gaze was inexplicably intense: "..."

"Uh... Alexander Kingsley, we’ve closed for today!"

"I’ve booked it," he finally spoke, "I’ve booked the café, for two days. Now, immediately, open it for me!!"

Carla Carr: "..." Sir, must you be this domineering? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Sir, last time your self-harm scared me to death, okay!

Carla Carr laughed coldly, a bit desolately: "What if I refuse this business transaction?"

Alexander Kingsley laughed: "Miss Carr, business should look like business. How could one refuse business that’s knocking on the door?"

He was very domineering, his tone was very cold.

He was so handsome, the kind that makes you fall at first glance. Even his eyes were filled with emotions, impossible to deny, impossible to refuse...

Alexander Kingsley smirked wickedly, walked to the side, opened the car door, picked up two large suitcases, and dropped them in front of Carla Carr, saying: "Two days’ booking, is this enough?"

"If not, I’ll add another 20 suitcases."

Saying that, Alexander Kingsley opened the suitcases, and two large piles of money appeared in front of her.

Carla Carr: "..." So, Alexander Kingsley wasn’t just passing by, he came prepared, didn’t he?

The café is quite a fresh and elegant place, not large, with not many staff, but Alexander Kingsley brought so much money, it’s not just for two days’ worth of coffee, is it?!

He’s probably planning to buy the whole place.

Carla Carr chuckled coolly: "Sorry! Admiral, this business is declined, please take your business elsewhere..."

"Little thug." He suddenly grabbed her, "Pick one. The money for these two suitcases, either to book the place for two days or... to book you for two nights."

PS: I also have a mentor who lost me.

The setup of the little thug and the Admiral is quite heartbreaking, I never planned for them to be together from the start. I’ll see how I feel about it later~~
