Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 386
The headlights of the Maybach outside of Royal Manor blinked twice.Rowan saw Zephyr coming out for Cordelia and taking her back into the house by her hand after saying something to her. A while later, the lights in the living room went out.Charlie turned back to smile at Rowan. “Mr. Irwin, looks like they’ve reconciled.”Rowan hummed in response. “The brat’s good at coaxing, apparently!”He sighed and stayed silent in thought before chuckling and keeping his silver needle.“Charlie, let’s go.”“Yes, sir.” Charlie started the car. “Mr. Irwin, what do we do next?”Rowan stayed silent. He would stay longer in Centrolis for this trip—one reason was for the joint collaborative hospital project, and another was simply because he was growing more reluctant to leave. He was okay with just seeing them from afar. That person… She would be a wound that would never heal.Charlie read his mind. “Mr. Irwin, I’ve obtained Ms. Xyla’s current address. Do you want to—”“No,” Rowan interrupt

Janine did not want Cordelia to be targeted. This could save her a lot of trouble.Now, for example, Mona did not even know what the cause of the problem was… After some thinking, she was struck with realization—she had been a fool with Nelly!“You can leave if there’s nothing else.” Janine got up and went to her to pat her shoulder.Mona trembled, looking terrible.Janine said with a smile, “Ms. Adams, there’s a saying I like. One must be self-aware! I think you and Nelly should educate yourselves on this!”Mona bit her lips. She had a fire raging in her but dared not show anything in front of this she-devil. She looked at the desk outside of the CEO's office. It was empty. Cordelia was not in.“Why? Looking for Ms. Cordelia?”Janine’s authoritative voice made Mona shudder as she snapped back to herself. “N-No, I’m not looking for her…”“Go back to work then. Ms. Adams, you have a few shows to go on, and I’ve already informed your assistants. Make up your mind whether you’re g

Cordelia smiled and answered directly, “Zephyr Hamerton.”Neil had long expected this answer, but Cordelia’s frankness surprised him. He did not expect Zephyr to have such a high status to her that she did not even feign courtesy and blurted it so straightforwardly.Shane looked around and stepped up to break the awkwardness with a chuckle.“Uh… Neil, take a look at the script first. You’ll be the first to audition when Ms. Lulham is here!“Ms. Cordelia, take a break too! Neil asked me to bring some snacks. Have a try…”The few of them found somewhere close to the window where the sunlight spilled in, and they basked in it. The scenery outside was the picturesque fall.Shane made coffee and brought them over, the room immediately wafting with the aroma. Neil pulled a pretty lunchbox out of his bag. It was a dark-colored wooden box with intricate and repeated patterns carved on it…Cordelia was stunned and nearly doubted if her eyes played a trick on her. The box that her mother

To outsiders, he was forever domineering, strict, and impassive. In front of Cordelia, though, he was just an easily jealous boy.Neil’s gaze was complicated and cryptic.“We just played a round of cards the last time and haven’t got to know each other officially.” Zephyr looked at him coldly.Neil caught what he meant and took the initiative to extend a hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Zephyr. I’m Neil Harris. My detailed information is available in the company.”Zephyr shook hands with him perfunctorily and smiled. “Zephyr Hamerton, I’m also the second largest shareholder in Imperial Media.”“I know,” Neil said softly. “But Madam Baker’s the one who signed me…”Zephyr snickered, “Mona Adams said the same, but how did she end up?”Neil smiled without saying anything.“Of course, an award-winning actor like you is heaven and earth’s difference from the small-time influencer. You can’t be compared.”Neil nodded. He could discern that what Zephyr said was probing him. From the first

At the Tanners’ residence at night…Joe and Mandy were discussing how they would try for the joint hospital project in the study room while Nelly sat aside and listened attentively.Mandy had wanted to let her go back to her room earlier to sleep and did not want her to know too much.A few years ago, she had her guard up against Nelly and tried as much as possible not to let her get in touch with the Tanner Group’s core business.Joe did not think much about it. Nelly was not their biological daughter, but they had raised her to this day. It was impossible to say that they had no feelings for her. Moreover, Nelly was able to assist him in business.“I don’t know how the rumor came about,” Joe said in a low tone. “But it’s said that Rowan likes the Tanners the most among the four major families and wants to work with us.”Mandy frowned.She thought that it was ridiculous at first, but the rumor was growing more aggressive and sounded as if it was real.Despite that, Rowan did n

Josiah smiled and produced two invitations, passing them to Joe and Mandy ceremoniously.“My mother’s organizing a recital and would like to invite you both!”Mandy went through the pretty invitation with a smile.Mrs. Bayer was known for her talents among wealthy wives. She was good at music, chess, literature, and painting—all at a masterly level.“If I remember correctly, she held an art exhibition last year!” Mandy said with a smile, “And she’s hosting a recital this year. She’s amazing!”“You’re flattering her!” Josiah scratched his head and chuckled. “My mom’s just bored at home and plays around! Uncle and Aunt Tanner, you’ve got to come if you’re free!”“Of course! That’s needless to say!”“My mom’s organizing a recital on the sea this time. The elders will be on a cruise, while the younger generation will be on yachts at our family’s private beach!”“Oh, that’s very thoughtful!” Joe said with a smile, “Please ask Mrs. Bayer to rest assured. We’ll be there on the dot!”

“Mr. Irwin, you’ve presented halfway through. Do you want to go back and continue…”“No need.” Rowan waved a hand.He was out anyway and was free now. He might as well go take a look at the vet.Charlie swiftly took him to a famous veterinary hospital nearby. Just as the car stopped at the entrance, he saw Cordelia walking with a fat cat carefully.Rowan wanted to follow her inside but paused and thought about it. He then asked Charlie to buy a Siamese cat at the nearby pet shop. He had to have some pet to enter the veterinary hospital, or it would be too strange.Charlie did as told. Rowan was well respected in Southeast Aciatic, and no one dared stop him, no matter where he went. Now, though, he had to enter a veterinary hospital depending on a cat. Charlie found it kind of funny.When Cordelia lined up to wait, holding Ginger, Rowan sat close to her quietly. He waited for a bit and slowly inched closer to her when he saw that there was no one beside her. He watched her discr

Rowan paused. His throat felt choked up, and his gaze turned sorrowful.Cordelia thought that she had triggered something sad and felt guilty. She quickly diverted the topic. “Sir, your cat looks quite well. It doesn’t look like it’s sick!”“Oh…” Rowan recovered and plastered on a smile. “It… isn’t feeling too well these days either. I think it’s better to check it out.”“But this line is really long.” Cordelia sighed.The veterinary hospital was not big, but the cats and dogs were hard to control. They could not speak and could only cry their discomfort out. Even an experienced vet would take some time with each pet.“It’s not your turn yet.” Rowan smiled. “Why don’t I take a look at your cat?”Cordelia was surprised. “You’re a vet?”“I’m a doctor.”She smiled. “Sir, you treat humans, but you can treat animals too?”Rowan refused to miss this chance to interact with her, so he insisted. “Theoretically, you grasp a concept in medicine, and you’re able to comprehend the rest.

"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
