Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 356
Zephyr wanted to be with her a little longer…Cordelia blushed. She remembered that this was what she had told him previously.Zephyr looked at her quietly and smiled, grabbing her bare shoulder that was exposed…Zephyr woke up early in the morning and saw that Cordelia was still sleeping. He got up gently and went to warm up the soup Helen had made in advance in the kitchen.Recently, Helen was coming up with all sorts of tricks to nourish Cordelia, and the latter had to drink soup several times a day.Despite that, Cordelia seemed to still be as fragile.Zephyr chuckled and heard meowing as soon as he went to the kitchen.The kitchen window faced the front of the house. A fat tabby cat hopped up the window sill and stretched, facing the sunlight.The fat tabby was a regular in Royal Manor.When they first met it, it was a pitiful frail stray that had yet to wean. It was an issue if it would make it. Cordelia took care of it and even made it a home on the porch. The cat seeme

Helpless, Cordelia could only wrap her arms around his neck and kiss his lips deeply.Although Zephyr was not quite satisfied, he let her go with a smile.“You don’t have to make breakfast,” Cordelia said softly. “Aunt Helen’s probably grocery shopping at this hour and will be back soon! She’s speedy and will be done preparing breakfast in a while.“Right, she said to finish this soup first before breakfast!”Cordelia stretched her hand for the bowl of soup as she spoke.A thought flashed in Zephyr’s mind, and he abruptly placed the soup on the side.It stunned Cordelia, and she stared at him. “You… What’s wrong?”“Oh, nothing.” He recovered. “The soup’s gone cold. Don’t drink it.”“Hasn’t Aunt Helen been keeping it warm?”Zephyr said after a pause, “Cordelia, stop drinking these for the time being. And Aunt Helen’s a little aged. It’s too tiring for her to take care of the house chores and to cook.”Cordelia blinked. The man’s sternness confused her.“If you want to eat at

Cordelia stuck her tongue out with crescent eyes. She paid him no mind and went on the street. They were close to Imperial Media and only had to walk across a street, so she hurried off to the company.Zephyr stood for a bit under the building.Robert called to tell him, “Sir, don’t you know what Madam Baker’s like at work? She forbids her employees’ personal relationships to interfere with work!“If you announce your relationship with Ms. Cordelia in the company, it’ll cause a lot of trouble!”Zephyr was impatient. “What trouble could there be?”“Like.. the artists under her will learn from her and start dating. How could they attend to their schedules without being distracted?”Zephyr scowled. “So, I have to act like I don’t know my wife?”Robert chuckled dryly. “It’s what your mother says anyway.”Zephyr hung up directly. He could not do it? Well, he insisted!Despite that, he was stopped at the reception just as he stepped into Imperial Media. It was a new company, and Jan

Cordelia’s heartbeat sped up, and she panicked a little. A call came in then.She jolted and answered it, hearing a gentle and deep voice on the other end. “Cordelia? It’s Seth.”“Oh.” She calmed down. “Dr. Stafford. What’s the matter?”Seth paused and lowered his voice even more. “Can you come to the medical center now? Where I work. I’m doing consultations today. At the psychology department.”Cordelia had a feeling that this had to do with Zennie. She hung up and rushed to the medical center.…Seth had been waiting for her. After they exchanged pleasantries upon meeting, he looked thoughtful with a cryptic gaze as he looked at her.“I’ve been counseling Zennie these few days.” Seth pushed a report to her.Cordelia picked it up, and her hands shook involuntarily.The words “Major Depressive Disorder” stabbed her heart like a knife.“This is…” She looked at Seth.Seth sighed. “This is the result of the comprehensive assessment after giving Zennie various tests.”“How?”

Cordelia was in deep thought for a while. After that incident at home last time, it seemed like it had been a while since she had news about Phil.“I don’t know if he’s in Centrolis,” she replied honestly. “But he’s a long-term employee in Hamerton Manor and has a lot of work daily. It’s quite impossible for him to leave his job?”“Oh.” Seth nodded. “Zennie hasn’t met this person recently, so I thought he had already left Centrolis.”“Dr. Stafford!” Cordelia quickly said, “Even if he’s appeared, you can’t let him meet Zennie!“Zephyr and I don’t want Zennie to keep interacting with him. He’s too dangerous!”Seth contemplated and nodded after a beat.His assistant ran over at this time and told him nervously, “Ms. Hamerton is awake, but she isn’t doing very well mentally…”Seth rushed to the consultation room right away.Cordelia followed him and watched him run upstairs. The moment he entered the door, Zennie quieted down and looked relieved.Seth did a simple checkup for her

“She got food poisoning, but it’s very light. I’ve already treated her. She ought to have a good rest this week, and she’ll recover very soon.”Cordelia gasped. “Food poisoning?”“It’s my fault.” Zephyr looked at her. “Cordelia… I didn’t let you drink the soup in the morning because I suspected that Aunt Helen drugged it.”Cordelia sucked in a cold breath. She knew that Zephyr would not suspect someone out of the blue or wrongly accuse an old helper loyal to him.“I wanted to bring the soup to you, but Ginger came to the window sill looking for food, so I gave it a bowl too.“But it went away after sniffing it.“I got suspicious that something had been added to the soup since then.”It was only now that Cordelia understood why he had looked worried and said strange things about how not to eat what Helen made next time…“I went home in the afternoon and saw Helen busying about at home,” said Zephyr. “I was already suspicious of her then and thought I’d wait for her to expose her

“What?” Zephyr narrowed his eyes and thought about it before scoffing. “More like he’s absconding!”Cordelia looked at him. It was a coincidence because she was also suspecting Phil. Other than the young man and Zennie, Royal Manor had never taken in other guests.Zephyr’s gaze was icy. “Robert, are his whereabouts traced?”Robert nodded. “His flight goes straight to Jangasas.”It meant that there must be something in Jangasas that attracted him.“Seize the Nelsons at home first,” he said coldly. “Send our people to Jangasas to keep track of him!”“Yes, sir.”“Phil must have support behind him to be able to take a long break from the manor so easily!”Zephyr’s gaze was cold as a draft of a plan formed in his mind. Phil was just the bait. He wanted to use him to fish out the person behind him! As for who it was, he more or less could already guess it.Zephyr turned to Cordelia, who had been quiet by his side. He sighed and hugged her, speaking softly. “This kind of life is scar

Zephyr’s gaze darkened.Cordelia froze. She vaguely remembered that Phil did hold something in his hand when he came with Zennie the last time.“Those things are kept in the kitchen, and I’ve never paid them any mind,” Helen sighed. “I wanted to make chicken and Bird’s Nest soup for you today and took them out, but…”Zephyr’s expression became sharp.This meant that Phil was absolutely not just a permanent employee! His purpose of approaching Zennie was clear—he wanted to eliminate him and Cordelia through Zennie!Once something happened to him and Cordelia—and since they were staying in Royal Manor—the Bayers would have to carry the blame.By then, the Hamertons and the Bayers would be in discord, and they would get into a fight which no one would benefit from…Cordelia also realized the severity of the issue. “Zephyr, we must inform Aunt Cloud about this!“I just came from Seth’s. He’s been counseling Zennie all this time, and she isn’t very well mentally. She has light depre

"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
