Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 215
“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

“But…” That sentence was about to roll off Zennie’s tongue, but she could not do it. She could only gulp.Other than her brother explaining it to Cordelia personally, others were not able to intervene.“Alright.” Cordelia smiled and pinched Zennie’s nose lightly. “What’s gotten into you today? Is it because you haven’t gotten any cookies?”Zennie forced a smile and got the cookies out of the oven with her.The wind chime rang at the door each time customers patronized the café.Cordelia began another busy day. This day was like every other day—sunlight filled the porch while the interior wafted with the aroma of coffee. Patrons chatted and took photos here, leaving good reviews before they left.It was close to the start of fall now, but the irises were blooming prettily.Cordelia was filled with happiness. As Zennie watched her smile in contentment, she hoped she could stay this blissful.…Zephyr drove along the river very slowly and rarely made a bump.The passenger seat

Zephyr frowned and felt conflicted. Zennie had grown up sheltered from the world and had been a goody two shoes all along. However, it was easier for girls like this to run into people with ulterior motives.Zephyr took a deep breath and felt a headache. He spent some quiet time and drove back after a while.…Oliver had been waiting for seven straight days outside a private club in Centrolis. He came every day asking to meet Matthew, standing from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., but the bodyguards outside kept a straight face no matter how hard he tried.Matthew was annoyed just hearing his name, forget meeting him.Just when Oliver was growing desperate, the butler came out to inform him, “Mr. Jones, Mr. Yale invites you in.”Oliver perked up and hurried in instantly.There was a huge metal cage in the backyard of the club. Before Oliver went close, he could smell a decaying stench in the air. He was alarmed but could only brace himself and continue going.To his surprise, there

Yale was stunned for a moment before he grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it.“M-Mr. Yale… don’t be mad!” Oliver gasped and watched him carefully. “If you trust me, give me a few days. I’ll look into everything!”Yale’s eyes gleamed sinisterly as he smiled at him.“So, you’re willing to come under us again?”“Mr. Matthew’s been benevolent to me. I should repay his favor!”“Don’t f*cking make it sound so noble!” Yale was despicable, so he knew what another despicable man thought. “It’s just because you can’t rely on Josiah Bayer and you need the money. That’s why you are selling the news to me!“If Josiah had been willing to fill $45,000,000 for you, you’d have let these rot with you, huh?”Oliver was drenched in a cold sweat.“But this is good news… At least Zephyr’s not so pristine to my grandfather now.”“Yes, of course!” Oliver chorused. “The fact that he got married on his own is already a huge taboo to the Hamertons!”“What does the girl look like?” Yale was inter

Cordelia was stunned. This man seemed to have a lot of feelings recently, the kind where he felt happy and blissful.Cordelia smiled and covered his mouth softly with her hand.“Keep it to yourself,” she said. “Don’t ever say it out loud, or it’ll go away!”“Honey, I want to tell you something after I come back this time.”Cordelia could not help but ask, seeing that he looked serious, “What is it?”“Um… It’s a long story,” he said. “You’re still clueless about my family situation despite us being married for a year. I still have a family. Actually, we just don’t keep frequent contact.”Cordelia was puzzled. When they married, she understood that the Grists had gone down. Marcus’ parents were both deceased, and he was a thug who fought and caused trouble. She did not expect that there were still others in the Grists. Come to think of it, she understood it. If someone in the family had gone to prison, regular people would stay as far away as possible from them.Cordelia chuck

Cordelia paused in surprise. She did not know anyone from Centrolis, so what was up with this invitation?“Ms. Cordelia?” Wendy urged, “When are you coming back for it?”“Oh, tomorrow then…”Before Cordelia could finish her sentence, she heard Wendy making a rushing sound of assent, and Yelena’s pompousness followed.“How many times have I called you? Are you deaf?! If you can’t work here, pack up and go home!”Wendy hung up frantically while Cordelia shook her head, listening to the busy tone.“Who were you talking to just now?” Yelena crossed her arms as she looked at Wendy skeptically.Wendy was usually afraid of her, so she stammered and was unable to speak a word being questioned like this.Yelena’s gaze traveled down, and she saw the letter in Wendy’s hand.“What’s that?”Wendy froze and wanted to hide it behind her, but it was too late.“Show me!”“Ms. Yelena, this…”Yelena was annoyed by Wendy’s timid stutter and snatched it from her.Disliking what the girl did,

"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
