Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 198
“Hubby!”Cordelia shook her head and signaled him. Then she started to comfort Zennie.The latter was not scared. In reality, her brother had been doing this to her since she was young. She was already immune to his grim face.On the other hand, Cordelia was apologetic. She quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor.Zephyr wanted to help, but she stopped him gently and gave him a kind smile. “Let me do it. You don’t know how. Don’t hurt your hands.”She was quick and cleaned the floor in a jiffy. Customers came in at that moment, so she hurried to the courtyard to welcome them.Kate had been watching aside. She peeped at Zephyr and snuck up to him when she had the chance. She chuckled.“Your wife isn’t bad!”He was stunned.She smiled. “Although I’m not your mother by blood, I watched you grow. I can tell that you’re really in love with Ms. Jenner!”Zephyr looked at her. There was still no change to his cold face.Kate knew him well. Sometimes, she pitied the children of the

If she were sentimental back then, she and Henry would not have taken a divorce.Zephyr took a deep breath in. Cordelia and Zennie’s peals of laughter came from outside.They sat in the sunlit courtyard with blooming irises around them. The fragrance of cranberry cookies and macchiato filled the air.At that moment, he wanted to stop time forever.“Don’t worry.” Kate smiled. “Since your sister likes Cordelia so much, as her mother, I’ll do my best!“In reality, everyone in the Hamertons is reasonable. It’s just that jerk Matthew at that brat, Yale…”Kate began to vent.Zephyr smiled helplessly. She would pretty much take revenge on his behalf whenever Matthew talked behind his back throughout these years.…Since finding out about her identity, although Cordelia would smile on the surface, Zephyr could tell that she was upset.It was fine when she was busy with customers.When the shop was empty, she would sit alone on the stairs in the courtyard and stare blankly into the s

Zephyr glanced at him. He had been thinking about that for a long time.What intrigued him even more was that they were considered to have good stamina among men. However, they could not keep up with the ladies now. They were almost exhausted.It seemed he must “punish” her again tonight…“Hey, why are you smiling like a fool?” Nicholas waved before his face.Zephyr snapped back to his senses. He suppressed his smile and recovered his usual coldness.“Nicholas,” he said with his deep voice. “Have you ever thought you’d repent and leave the gang life?”Nicholas was stunned. He had a complicated look now.“Although you’re with Linda now, and she accepts who you are, you must consider that you live a dangerous life. You have power, but you have enemies too.“I happened to be at the hotel last time…” Zephyr had a cryptic look on his face. “If a similar thing happens again, do you think there’ll be such a coincidence again?“If something happens to you again, how can you give a lif

“Hey, don’t say that.” Nicholas echoed. “He finally got a wife. Of course, he’s got to keep a close eye on her…”“It’s okay, even if she’s got a scratch!” A vendor’s voice came from the side suddenly. “I have meds here, special formula. No scars left, guaranteed!”Nicholas and Linda guffawed.On the other hand, Cordelia was attracted by the intricate-looking bottle and checked it out. It had retro packaging and was only a small bottle that was handy. It was the first time she saw a medicine that was manufactured like a piece of art.The vendor grinned at her. “Miss, do you want to buy one? This is from Xywan Pharmaceuticals. It’s been selling for over a decade. It’s fair and genuine!”“Xywan Pharmaceuticals?”“Yeah! Irwin’s medicinal drugs manufacturing company!”Zephyr furrowed his brows at that.Mengasas was close to Southeast Aciatic. Was this Irwin the Irwin in Southeast Aciatic?The party continued walking for a bit and came to a place where it was less crowded. Linda pul

Both men cried in unison, “No!”Of course, it was futile. After all, the consequences of making their wives angry were far more serious than sleeping with another man.Later at night, when Nicholas carried all the shopping bags back to the hotel listlessly and opened the door to see the soft bed in the room he had specially chosen… he almost blew up on the spot!Zephyr was much calmer in comparison. He quietly took off his coat and took a bottle of red wine out of the cabinet, adding ice and slowly swirling it.“Zephyr, I don’t care if you want to do it or not. The two of us have to be united!” Nicholas said through his gritted teeth.“From tomorrow onward, we will take care of our own woman. We can’t let the two of them stick to each other anymore, you hear me!?”Nicholas slumped on the bed in a huff, wanting nothing more than to punch a hole through it.Zephyr was nonchalant with a smirk. He looked at the nightfall outside the window, and his gaze darkened soon.‘Southeast Ac

Zephyr gave it a thought and said, “Cordelia, I have to… leave for a training camp tomorrow.”Cordelia paused. “You’re going for competitions again?”Zephyr glossed it over. “I might stay a few more days out this time.”Cordelia was a little down, but since this was a career he liked, she would give him her full support.Zephyr went over and circled her waist with his arms. He buried his face against her neck to inhale her sweet fragrance.“Honey, remember what I taught you last time?”Cordelia blinked and went along with what he said without much thought. “Yeah.”The man smirked. “How much do you remember?”Cordelia gestured innocently. “If someone attacks me from the front, I do this… If someone comes from the back, I do this…”When she felt his wrist, he actually hugged her tighter!Zephyr was strong, and she was flustered when she could not struggle away.“Honey…“Ah!”Zephyr suddenly picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.It was only then Cordelia snapped out

Zephyr’s eyes were dark, and his broad back stiffened slightly. He remained quiet.The air felt like it was frozen as Liam trained his eyes on him. His tone hardened as he asked again, “Who is Cordelia Jenner?”“My wife.”Liam abruptly raised his hand—the table's tea set shattered with a clang on the floor!Zephyr tightened his fists, veins popping on the back of his hands.Liam asked sternly, “When did you get married? When did this woman come about?“If I didn’t stop this statement, were you planning to give half of the Hamertons’ assets away?!”The butler and servants dared not even breathe any louder when they heard the noise inside. Even Robert was stunned.Liam had always been calm and composed. There were rarely times that he was so worked up. Today, however, the grandfather and grandson were like two lions confronting each other. Forget going closer. Just hearing their voices was unnerving.“Are you giving half of your assets, shares, funds, including your overseas pro

“Centrolis is a big place. There’ll be somewhere for her.” Liam held his dragon-headed cane. “Find her somewhere and settle her down. After you get married, you can still visit her a few times a month.“As long as she stays in her own lane and doesn’t cause problems, keep her around!”Zephyr was stunned before he snickered. “You want to make her my lover?”“A woman like her should be grateful that she’s even a lover!”Zephyr jolted.“Impossible!” His voice was sharp. “I’ll never let her suffer such grievances!”“Then what do you want to do? Marry her?” Liam asked harshly, “I think you’ve lost your mind!”He panted and turned to look out the window with a hand over her heart.“Zephyr, break up with her! Even if you don’t want to marry Nelly, you can pick one from the other three major families!”“I said I don’t want anyone else in this lifetime other than Cordelia!”“You don’t want anyone else aside from her?” Liam raised his voice and turned back to glare at him. “And if she

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
