Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 280
After Zephyr returned to his senses, he got Robert to send Cordelia back to her office.He called the number to Chaiseland after returning to the Zen Residence.It was morning over there and quite noisy on the other side of the phone. Janine must have started her busy day.Zephyr greeted respectfully. “Mom, were you looking for me?”“Yes, I’m at the airport,” Janine said calmly. “I’ll be in Centrolis in 10 hours. Get someone to pick me up.”“What?” He was shocked.“What? Am I not welcome?”“Of course, that’s not the case.” He soon calmed down.Ever since his parents got divorced, his mother hardly visited Centrolis. It was not where she grew up. Given the terrible memories from her ex-husband’s family and judging by her character, although her child was there, she would definitely not compromise.Therefore, Zephyr visited Chaiseland more often since he was young.Perhaps there was only one reason why Janine suddenly came to Centrolis.Zephyr squinted. He took a deep breath a

Linda blushed and smiled softly.“Why so sudden?” Zephyr looked at them. “Nicholas, you just got stable in Centrolis, and there are many connections to build. You’ll definitely be busy. Isn’t it too much of a rush to host a wedding now?”“No, we can’t wait!” Nicholas was grinning wide. “If we wait any longer, we’ll have to host a baby shower as well!”“What?” Cordelia and Zephyr were surprised.Linda confirmed it. “I’m pregnant. Two months.”Cordelia was thrilled and emotional, going around Linda again and again. The latter’s figure had not changed. She was still tall and slim. Who could have known that there was already a baby in her womb!?“Linda, why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”“They say it’s riskier the first three months, so it’s better not to announce it.” Linda beamed. “But it’s not too late that you know now. You’re the kid’s godmother, and you’re not running away!”“Who’s running away? I’m going to prepare a huge gift for my godson!”“How do you know it’s a son? I w

Zephyr glared at him. “Shut up if you don’t know how to talk!”Nicholas could not even shut his mouth since it was cracked open to a wide grin.For some reason, Zephyr seemed to stand innately against Neil.Actually, that was not true. It was more like he could not stand all the men who approached Cordelia.“Alright, come on!” Nicholas patted Zephyr’s shoulder. “Cordelia’s just interviewed him once. It’s her job. You don’t have to get so petty, right?”“I’m not.” Zephyr was stubborn and took a big gulp of beer.“It’s written on your face, and you still deny it!” Nicholas chortled. “Look, why don’t you get Neil to attend the event for me? I’ll make sure he embarrasses himself there!”It was only then Zephyr looked better. Both men exchanged a look with a smirk.“Am I such a petty person?” Zephyr spat and pulled out his phone to call Mr. Smith.“Figure out something to engage Neil to attend Mr. Thompson’s event. Be polite when you talk to him.”Nicholas was rendered speechless.

Cordelia found a comfortable couch and planned to rest for a bit, only to see someone sitting at a nearby table and playing cards in concentration. She focused and saw that it was actually… Neil? Why was he here!?While she was dazed, Neil spotted her as well and smiled at her. He then got up, approached her, and sat down next to her directly.“Hi!” Cordelia sat up straight, looking a little nervous.There was a nice fragrance on Neil. Coupled with his gorgeous features, it accentuated his grace.“Hello,” Neil greeted with a smile. “I didn’t expect to meet you here. Are you here for interviews today too?”“Mm.” Cordelia nodded.The conversation stopped. Neil smiled and shifted his attention back to the cards, resuming to play on the coffee table in front of them.Cordelia could not help the surprise when she saw the pattern on the back of the deck.“You… know how to play this?”“Why? Do you know how to as well?” Neil looked at her.“This is Xiroh, right?” Cordelia smiled. “I

Zephyr walked in slowly while the celebrities watched him. They were only taking a short break here, not expecting to see Neil playing cards with a woman.The few of them whispered by the door until Zephyr appeared. Only then did they feel pressured and suffocated, like the air was sucked out of the room.Zephyr’s expression was cold. His smile did not reach his eyes.“Cordelia, wrong card.” His voice was low as he walked to Cordelia and pulled another card from her hand. “You should put this one down!”Cordelia froze before she grinned, turning back into the girl who had only him in her eyes.Zephyr rubbed her head.When others took in the intimate scene, they could not help guessing the pair’s relationship.Neil furrowed his brows while the celebrities at the door looked at each other without saying anything.When Nicholas rushed over and noticed the situation, he instantly understood everything.“You’re here, Mr. Z.” He went up to pat Zephyr. “If you don’t like the noise, I

It was unexpected that Neil took a risky move!Zephyr looked at him. “Mr. Harris, this is a risky move. I advise you to be cautious.”“It’s fine.” Neil smiled. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I’m willing to take the risk for the roles.”Zephyr smirked. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained? It’s true, but it depends. Not all gains come from risks!”Just when Neil thought he would win, the card that Zephyr put down shocked him.Two more cards, then one more—Zephyr put down all his cards and won in terms of points as well.Neil’s frown was scrunched tight.“You’re talented, Mr. Harris,” Zephyr chortled and lowered his voice, “But talent applied in the wrong area makes it a ticking time bomb. Who knows when it’ll explode and blow you up to pieces? It’d be a pity then.”“What do you mean?” Neil narrowed his eyes.Zephyr pushed all the cards on the table toward him. The Xiroh cards spread out with a swoosh like a huge fan.Zephyr’s dominating presence caused the others not to dare

“Anything I want to do the most?”His warm lips were against the shell of her ear as his deep, husky voice puffed out these incredibly tempting words.Cordelia felt her heart skip a beat as her face flushed. She leaned back against him.“What I want to do the most now… is to keep hugging you like this.”Zephyr was delighted about it. He knew that the girl got shy easily and had to go slow, so he led her forward. “What else do you want to do after hugging?”“Huh?” Cordelia looked up, her innocent gaze confused.“Think about how we were.” Zephyr smiled while stroking her face. “Back at home… where do you usually hug me?”Cordelia obviously did not want to go along with what he said and purposely replied, “Oh, back then? Didn’t we always hug on the balcony? We looked at the stars together after I hugged you like this!”Zephyr was rendered speechless.She chuckled, “Oh yeah, Zephyr, I kind of want to stargaze now. Do it with me, okay?”The deflated man was unwilling, but he force

Cordelia did as she was told and felt Zephyr flipping her hand over. Her palm faced up, and she felt something landing in her hand. When she opened her eyes, she saw a necklace in it.Precious sapphires were etched into stars and the moon, hanging off a platinum necklace.His voice was deep and gentle. “Cordelia, I’ve plucked the stars and moon for you.“What about you? Will you marry me? Let’s not part forever, okay?”Cordelia pressed her lips together, tears brimming from her eyes. Zephyr hugged her and softly stroked her hair.“You don’t have to answer me now,” he said considerately. “I’ll give you time as long as you remember that I’m always here waiting for you.”Cordelia nodded and sobbed herself silly against his chest.“Zephyr.”“Hmm?”“I can actually answer you now…”Zephyr’s heart lurched as he listened quietly.“I do need some time to prepare myself.”She looked up at him with a sincere smile.“I also need some time to explore this world. I hope that when I ma

"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
