Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 260
Cordelia was stunned and straightened up, not knowing where to place her hands.Zephyr took a seat next to her and scattered some bread crumbs to the pigeons before turning to her with a smile. “Bad mood?”Cordelia lowered her head. How did he know?“I think I haven’t told you about my childhood.”Zephyr began to speak calmly. “My parents took a divorce a long time ago. I’m with my dad, but I often go to Chaiseland to keep my mom company.“My mom’s a feisty one, so she has never allowed me to be weak. As for the Hamertons, grandpa has been training me as an heir. Each thing I do, eat, drink, walk, posture, or actions, have strict regulations.“That’s not all. I face internal fights with the family all the time.“Whoever grandpa prioritizes, the easier that person becomes everyone’s target.”Zephyr revealed a light smile, which was tinged with bitter self-deprecation.Cordelia’s heart squeezed. At that time… he must be a boy of only six or seven years old.“I spent most of my

Zephyr felt a squeeze in his heart.Cordelia looked down, blinking with her long lashes as if a butterfly was flapping its wings.She said softly, “I later found out that… status and name are just a person’s label. No matter whether you’re rich or poor, or you’re Zephyr or Marcus, it’s not important.“The important thing is that you’ve never changed from the beginning until now… Neither have I.”Zephyr looked at her and held her hand. She looked at him, chuckling, and held his hand tightly.“Do you forgive me, Cordelia?”“I’ve never blamed you. It’s just that I couldn’t accept the change of your identity that came out of nowhere.” She pursed her lips. “But I need more time… Can you wait?”“Yes! Of course I can!” He was willing to wait for her forever.He hugged her tightly, afraid that it was a dream.“Cordelia, you won’t leave me, right?” He confirmed it again as he was worried.Cordelia smiled. “I won’t.”“You won’t leave me no matter what I become, right?”She was stunne

“Since you guys have gotten familiar with each other, let me introduce all of you again,” Zephyr chuckled. “Attorney Constable is popular in Centrolis and Jangasas. He charges by the second.“While Mr. Bayer…” He looked at Cordelia. “You know everything about him like the back of your hand, and there was a car accident that happened. I guess I don’t have to introduce him.”Josiah’s expression changed. He said innocently, “Why not!? The stuff you find on the Internet is not true! I’m not as they describe me to be!“Cordelia, I must introduce myself again! Although I look flirty, I’m actually loyal! Also, as I’m too good-looking, people are often jealous of me, including this Mr. Hamerton— Ouch!”Before he was done, Fredric hit him on his head, and Zephyr showed him an annoyed face.He felt wronged. Sigh, it became a crime that he was good-looking. He was being picked on just because he was good-looking!…Nelly rushed into Yale’s residence, ignoring the guards out there.She saw
Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 263
In the end, Yelena was not Nelly’s match. She got scratches all over her face.At that moment, Yale signaled his guards to pull them apart. They took Yelena out.She struggled while screaming, “Sir, why aren’t you helping me!? Sir—”Soon, the voice disappeared in Yale’s residence.Nelly growled at her. After getting the towel from the maid, she glared at Yale, who was sitting on the couch at the side of her eye.“Are you dead!?” The rage in her surged again. “You just watched that b*tch hit me?”Yale smirked. “Ms. Tanner, you can fight, so why didn’t you show her mercy!?”“Yale!”“Okay, don’t be mad!” Yale got someone to serve tea. “Drink this to calm down.”Nelly rolled her eyes at him. She remained still.She came here today to get an explanation from him.Yale kept saying that he could get rid of Cordelia for her and take Zephyr back. It had been so long. Not only did he not get rid of Cordelia, but she was in Centrolis now!She was pissed.Nelly glared fixedly at Yale
Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 264
When Cordelia got off work and returned home, she saw that Zephyr was playing a card game with her mother.The card game was unique, with complicated rules. It tested a person’s logical thinking and patience. Her mother taught her to play it when she was young, but she could never learn. Xyla never played the card game again from then on.Never had she thought they were having fun.Peals of laughter came from the living room. Zephyr was smart enough to lose every round in a subtle way. He made her spend some effort before winning.Xyla was over the moon. The more she looked, the more she liked her son-in-law.After the round ended and when Zephyr was going to shuffle the cards, he suddenly noticed Cordelia standing not far away. He got up immediately and chuckled. “You’re home?”“Hey, you got off work early?” Xyla smiled while drawing the cards. “Zen has been playing with me the entire afternoon. I think he’s exhausted. Make him something to eat now!”Cordelia was rendered speec

Zephyr was stunned. “What did you say?”“Will you help me?”‘Of course, I will!’ he screamed inside.However, he remained calm on the surface. He coughed and said in a deep voice, “Why are you asking for my help out of nowhere?”“Because…” Cordelia paused. “Apart from my own hard work, I’ll have to make use of all of the resources I have to achieve something, am I right?”Zephyr was quite surprised.His lecturer had said the same thing in the first class of the business school. The right time, right place, and right people would determine one’s success.Cordelia looked at him with her big eyes and smiled. “I’m trying to interview the best actor! Given my status, I’m afraid that even his assistant will look down on me. This is certainly a mission impossible. Everyone is waiting to make fun of me.“However, I have an omnipotent superman with me…”She stretched her arms and squeezed his face. She was so sweet when she smiled.“If this superman can lend me a little bit of his sup

Zephyr smiled helplessly and was going to retort when Zennie suddenly came back and told him softly, “Don’t get too worked up when you get to the table in a while.”“Why?”“Just…” She looked like she was anticipating a good show. “You might not be able to get anything in!”Zephyr paused and walked to the table swiftly.Well, Zennie was right…There was a stern hint in Liam’s smile as he took a seat at the main chair with an impassive gaze scanning everyone.As for the seat that was supposed to be Zephyr’s, Nelly was actually sitting next to it!“Zephyr, why are you standing there?” Liam urged him, “Have a seat.”Zephyr’s expression was dark as he walked to Nelly with clenched fists.The servant pulled out the chair to let Zephyr take a seat politely.Everyone’s gaze was on him.His relationship with Cordelia had gotten around the family. Every Hamerton knew that he had met the girl when he was recuperating in Jangasas. All of them also knew that he had confronted his grandfa
Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 267
The atmosphere turned awkward.Everyone stared at the dish in front of them, but no one moved. They all had ulterior motives and were waiting for the show.As expected, Liam scowled and looked at Matthew sharply.Zephyr snickered.When it came to understanding his grandfather, no one in the Hamertons would dare call themselves the first if he claimed the second spot.Liam hated his own family getting too close to outsiders the most. Matthew had once used the same point to attack Zephyr, claiming that he was closer to his maternal grandfather’s family and stirring Liam’s dissatisfaction.Zephyr looked at him leisurely with a cryptic smile.What he did today was just doing unto Matthew what the latter had done to him.“Z-Zephyr Hamerton!” Matthew stuttered, “W-What n-nonsense are you spewing in front of so many people!?“Dad, don’t believe him. This kid… Hah, he’s most probably upset and using me to vent!”“You’d be accusing me now, Uncle Matthew,” Zephyr said unhurriedly. “Gra

"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
