Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 391
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. I

A large cruise sailed along the Bayers’ private sea area.Melodic piano music resonated across the beach, and even the seagulls danced along.Rowan was one of the invited guests. He stood at the deck and sipped on his champagne, knowing full well why the Bayers had invited him. It was for the joint hospital project.He smirked and finished the champagne to turn back to the restroom on the cruise.He suddenly heard a deep and mocking voice as he rested with his eyes closed on the couch.“Mr. Irwin, you didn’t bring your Siamese cat along?”Rowan’s eyes flew open abruptly.Zephyr stood before him with a mocking smile on his icy face. He looked at him coldly. “Mr. Irwin, have you been fine?”Rowan took a deep breath.“Mr. Zephyr.” He got up and smiled.As both of them stood across each other, Zephyr’s icy gaze turned vicious as he took a sudden step forward to force Rowan to the wall.If he had not rushed to the veterinary hospital in time that day, who knew what the sly fox

Zephyr paused and narrowed his eyes at Rowan.“Why are you fretting about whether I keep her company or not?”“You—”“Aren’t you poking your nose into business that’s not yours, Mr. Irwin?” Zephyr’s tone hardened as his eyes gleamed coldly.What surprised him, however, was that Rowan’s expression dimmed, and a wash of dejection flashed across his face.“Yeah, I shouldn’t be caring so much.” Rowan muttered to himself and chuckled rather self-deprecatingly as he walked out, “Who am I to…”Zephyr watched him leave with a confused face.What did the sly old fox want? Whatever it was, he must not get close to Cordelia.Zephyr left the room briskly.The recital at the deck had come to a close. The guests were clinking glasses, and it was merry.Cordelia stood at the bow, away from the crowd, as she watched them with a smile.“Cordelia, why are you here alone?” Josiah jogged over giddily and passed her a glass of wine.“Z’s not keeping you company?”“I called him just now. He’ll

Zephyr glared at Rowan and protected Cordelia instinctively.Cordelia looked at him and then looked at Rowan, “Zen, do you know him?”“Yes,” said Rowan.“No,” said Zephyr.Cordelia was rendered speechless.She paused. Seeing that Zephyr looked grim while Rowan had a cryptic look on his face, she guessed there might be a feud between them in the past.However, no matter what, they should not stir things up at the Bayers’ event.Cordelia locked her fingers with Zephyr’s and looked at him gently. Her smile was magical, as it could calm him down instantly.“This is the chairman of Southeast Aciatic Medical Association, Rowan Irwin. He’s also the head of Irwin Pharmaceuticals.” Zephyr gave a simple introduction.Cordelia’s eyes moved.She was unsure if it was because she had heard a lot about Southeast Aciatic lately, but a strange feeling surged inside of her.“The Bayers are eager to collaborate with him, so they invited him to the event,” said Zephyr.She nodded and smiled co

As Rowan followed behind them, he was sulking. He was eager to poke Zephyr with a needle when he saw him touching Cordelia sometimes.However, he thought about it, and he would prefer to see them loving each other.He smiled.In the end, he decided to stop being their third wheel. Just when he turned around to get the attendant to show him out, he suddenly noticed two secretive shadows flash by.“Who is it?” he shouted.The two people ran toward the cockpit quickly. Having a bad feeling, Rowan chased after them.There seemed to be some commotion when he arrived at the cockpit.“Anybody here?” His heart sank. He stepped forward to knock on the door.In the few seconds when he fell silent, ocean waves were the only thing he could hear.A loud noise suddenly echoed. He dodged immediately. The two people who rushed out of the cockpit aimed their guns at him.His heart jolted.They were Matthew’s men!One of them said to him coldly, “Mr. Irwin, whatever is happening here has not

“I know even if you don’t tell me. After all, only a few people in the world want me dead!”That man’s face was pale as he revealed a sly grin. “Hah, Mr. Z, you want to know who sent me here?”He lifted his bloody finger and pointed at Rowan.“What nonsense!” Rowan was enraged. “You’re Matthew’s man!”That man smiled and crawled to the side with his wounded body. He leaped and soon disappeared into the ocean.Cordelia was still shocked. She walked over while shaking.Zephyr hugged her tightly.“W-What exactly happened?”The blood stains on the deck were terrifying, and it was the same for the wounds on Rowan’s face.Rowan sighed. “They’re Matthew’s men. I’ve seen them before. But I don’t know how they managed to sneak in and get onto the yacht.“When I saw them, they had just walked out of the cockpit—”Rowan suddenly recalled something as he spoke to this point. He panicked.“Perhaps they changed the route in the cockpit!”Cordelia and Zephyr looked around.Indeed, the y

"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
