Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 210
This meant that there would be one more person in the bedroom.Zephyr walked over quietly and opened the bedroom door. As expected, Linda and Cordelia were sleeping inside.He chuckled soundlessly. It seemed that his little girl was afraid to be alone and asked her best friend to keep her company, while Nicholas followed shamelessly since he was worried about Linda.Zephyr put down his luggage softly and carefully padded to Cordelia.Their bed was spacious. Cordelia slept with her back against Linda, and there was still some space between them. Cordelia hugged a pillow—the one that Zephyr usually used.Zephyr raised his brows and tucked the girl in gently with a smile.It was then Linda turned around and rubbed her eyes, astonished to see someone standing beside Cordelia through the dim lighting.“Ah!” Linda screamed with her hair standing on end.She patted Cordelia awake quickly before she darted toward Zephyr.“Thief! Robber!“Nicholas! Come in!”Before Zephyr could rea

Cordelia’s face paled. She lifted his T-shirt immediately to check the wound.As expected, there was an obvious mark on his back.“It’s red!” She rubbed it, feeling heartbroken. She then turned around to look at Linda.“Look, Linda! Nicholas kicked him!”Never had Nicholas thought his darling, who had been showing off their love with him earlier, was glaring at him like she was a different person now.“Hey, why did you do that!?”Nicholas looked innocent, “Linda, aren’t you going to side with me?”“Side with you?” She grabbed Cordelia’s shoulder. “My Cordelia is upset now! Go, go buy ointment for Marcus!”Nicholas widened his eyes.‘My Cordelia?‘She was calling me baby just now!‘Is she saying that her friend is more important than her man!?‘So love fades, is it…’Nicholas stood where he was. He snapped his eyes up, locking eyes with Zephyr, who looked proud.“Can I trouble Mr. Thompson to buy ointment for me?”…At 6:00 a.m., Nicholas bought ointment and even breakfa

As she expected, William did not sign the share return documents. Instead, he set them aside.Subsequently, he looked at her with complicated emotions in his eyes.Cordelia was clueless. She had no idea what he was going to do and say next.The office fell into an awkward silence. William only lifted his head a long time later, asking her with his rather husky voice. “Are you so eager to cut ties with me?”She pursed her lips and said nothing.“Is your mom discharged from the hospital?” His stare was piercing. “Did she tell you that?”“No,” Cordelia said softly. “I found out about it by chance that we’re not related by blood.“So I’m returning these to you today…”Her palms were sweating. She secretly checked out William’s expression.He sat up straight and asked. “Why are you doing this?”“Because I’m not a Jenner,” she answered. “These don’t belong to me.”“Cordelia, you’ve been calling me dad for so many years. I’ve been treating you as my own.”‘Hah, have you?’ Cordelia
Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 213
The loud thud gave a squeeze to Cordelia’s heart. She snapped her head up and happened to see William’s cold stare and a subtle smile at the corner of his lips.After leaving the office, Yelena pulled her from behind before she could get out of the building.“Stop!”She turned her head, and Yelena’s slap came to her face!Fortunately, she had come prepared. She dodged swiftly, and Yelena missed. As she was attempting to slap her again, Cordelia grabbed her wrist tight!Yelena’s stare was vicious, but Cordelia did not want to give in at all. She shook her off.The share return documents were scattered on the floor. The blank part where William was supposed to sign seemed extra ironic now.Yelena screamed as if she had gone mad.At that moment, Cordelia had a complicated feeling.She thought about it from a different angle. If she and Carter had the same father and different mother, she had been despising him since young, had tried everything to put him in trouble, and eventuall

“Okay, stop it!”Cordelia rejected softly. Her arms wrapped him.Zephyr smiled and gave a long kiss on her neck, pressing down the burning desire that was surging inside of him.He knew she was a conservative lady. She could not do it anywhere else other than their own bedroom.It seemed he would have to make her get used to it.“What are you thinking about, hubby?”Zephyr snapped back his senses. He smiled at her after licking his dry lips.“Do you feel much better now?”“Mm-hmm!”He said, “Wifey, what are you going to do about the shares?”She bit her lip, not knowing how to tell him.“The shares are worth nothing.” He played with her hair. “Take them if you want them. Don’t take them if you don’t want them. No need to struggle with it.”“They’re worth nothing?” Cordelia laughed out loud. “You’re speaking as if you're rich! You don’t even care about the shares that are “worth nothing” now!”Zephyr chuckled and said nothing.Cordelia’s voice was coquettish as she drowned

“Combining my savings and the return from my investment…” The lady revealed excitement at the corner of her eyes. “Hubby, guess how much we have now?!”Zephyr shook his head while chuckling.Cordelia whispered the number and could not stop smiling.“Hubby, I can finally get you a car!”“What?” Zephyr put down the cutlery and looked at her with slight confusion.“I’m getting you a car!” she repeated. “Didn’t I tell you that I wanted to get you a car so that you won’t have to use public transportation? It’s just that I didn’t have enough savings before.”Zephyr felt warm.It seemed her salary had doubled when she was promoted to sales supervisor at the previous company.She had said she would get a mortgage to buy a house, and then she would buy him a car for convenience.It seemed she never felt the pain of spending money on him…He held her hands softly and looked into her eyes.“You don’t have to buy me a car. Just save it for your mom and Carter.”“I’ve set aside money fo

It was an ordinary sedan—small engine capacity, fuel-efficient, not exactly roomy, and cost less than $15,000.Not even the Hamertons’ servants would drive this kind of car, but Zephyr liked it very much. It was because Cordelia’s eyes sparkled when she saw the car, and he liked the sparkle in her eyes.“Honey, what do you think?” Cordelia held his arm.Zephyr smiled. “As long as you like it.”“I quite like it, but this is for you. You’ve got to like it too!”Cordelia knew that men felt more for cars. Cars were like their other wives. She ought to pick one that he would like.“Linda and I browsed a lot of them and think this one’s the best from all aspects. Do you want to test drive it, darling?”“No need.” Zephyr looked at her. “We’ll take this one. I like it.”Cordelia grinned sweetly and began discussing the color of the car. Black was cool, but she hoped he could pick white. He was already barely smiling usually, so it would be scarier if he drove a black car. As she spok

“Uh, I didn’t want to come. Josiah insisted!” Frederic quickly claimed his innocence.Zephyr glanced at Josiah darkly.“No, Z, I…”“You didn’t just want to come. You said you wanted to go for a drive in Z’s new car!”“Fredric!” Josiah could not even win the argument.Zephyr asked sternly, “Didn’t I ask you not to hang around here? What if Cordelia sees you!?”“I…” Josiah was close to tears while Frederic tried to hold back his chuckle.“Never mind, Z. He hasn't been the brightest since we were young. Don’t get petty with him!”Josiah was rendered speechless.“Right, your new car’s beautiful!” Frederic grinned like a sly old fox. “Cordelia picked it?”It was only then Zephyr showed a hint of a smile.Frederic continued. “Cordelia has good taste. Z, your cars weren't too practical in the past. This car’s specs and model, its color especially, match you very well!”Josiah immediately loathed Frederic.In spite of it, Zephyr was in a good mood and even suggested driving them

"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
