Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 450
The chauffeur chuckled dryly and blamed his hands. He had actually steered them to Yale Residence!Who in the entire Splendor Mountain did not know about the grudges between the eldest and the third heir?“Nothing, nothing!” The chauffeur quickly turned the car around. “That place is not so good. It’s not too… lucky to go near it!”“Really?” Cordelia was skeptical.Those houses looked beautiful as well and seemed rather luxurious. Those who stayed in there should be someone Elder Mr. Hamerton was fond of too.“Ms. Cordelia, let me take you elsewhere—”Before the chauffeur finished his sentence, someone rushed out from the path at the side. He was alarmed and stomped on the brake. Cordelia nearly hit the seat in front of her due to the momentum. She was even more shocked when she calmed down and saw who it was.“Yelena?”“Cordelia… Cordelia!”Yelena’s hair was disheveled, and she did not have any makeup put on. She looked haggard, especially with how abnormally thin she was.

Although Rowan thought that the Hamertons did not deserve Cordelia, proper social etiquette must still be maintained. At least, the others would have nothing to pick on.He also thought that, as her father, he should prepare another set of gifts for her if she did not prepare well this time so they could dazzle the Hamerton patriarch to blindness!Cordelia had no idea that Rowan had already played a thousand scenarios in his mind. She answered him with a chortle, “Of course, I didn’t go empty-handed. My mom’s prepared gifts for me!”Rowan felt his heart clench abruptly, and even breathing hurt.“Your… mom?”“Mm.”He forced a smile. “What did your mom prepare for you?”Cordelia mentioned a few things, which were all things that girls would bring to a man’s house the first time they were to visit in Southeast Aciatic.Rowan felt a pinch in his nose. It seemed that what Xyla had prepared for their daughter would not be inferior.“Right, there’s one more thing.” Cordelia looked at

Rowan stood rooted. He felt a pang in his heart, and there was a twinge of pain before it thumped.Cordelia looked at him strangely but did not think more about it and got into the car. Robert called for the chauffeur, and both of them sent her together.Not long after the car drove off, Rowan broke out of his daze and quickly gave chase. He tailed Cordelia’s car along the way with shaking hands gripping the steering wheel. There were a few times when his vision turned blurry. The crisp and sweet voice, as well as flashbacks of a certain person’s smile and actions, kept appearing in his mind. He could always see her in a gentle, long lilac dress smiling happily under the sun once she saw him. He could always recall how she rebelled against her family and relatives without care just for him, as well as the shock, rage, and despair in her eyes when she found out that he had lied to her…Rowan hit the brake abruptly.The car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, causing disgru

At present, Zephyr just wanted to go to his mother-in-law’s place. He wondered if Rowan would follow Cordelia. ‘That old geezer! What does he want?’…When Cordelia arrived home, Xyla was basking in the sun on the balcony. She beamed when she saw her daughter come in.“Cordelia, come!”Cordelia hurried over.Xyla pointed at the succulents she had and boasted to her daughter, “Look how well I’m taking care of them! These plants have a strong vitality. They thrive even when you water them once over a week!”Cordelia chuckled. From what she could remember, her mother had never been known to have green fingers. Anything that went through her hands would surely wilt. She once teased that the only living creatures her mother did not kill were her daughter and Carter.Xyla looked at Cordelia and smiled, knowing that her daughter must be laughing at her, but she tinkered with her succulents anyway.“Mom.” Cordelia was suddenly curious. “You’ve never grown plants in the past? I mean…

“But people will talk as you two live together without being married.”Xyla advised softly, “Cordelia, you’re a girl, and reputation is important! You didn’t know his identity in the past and thought that you had married him. You can’t be at fault for staying together. Now that you know and still want to be with him, you should get married sooner!”“Mom!” Cordelia grinned cheekily. “You’re pretty old school!”“I’m not old school. I want to protect you!” Xyla held her hand. “It’s not official or legitimate so long as you aren’t married. I’m worried about you being hurt.”Cordelia felt a pinch in her nose. She understood that it was due to the unhappy experience with William in the past that Xyla was exceptionally sensitive to the term legitimate.She snuggled her mother affectionately. Growing up, she rarely had the chance to act cute and coy with Xyla.Xyla patted her shoulders with a loving smile. Like many naggy mothers, she would keep nagging about their marriage.“Alright, I

Clark was astonished.Liam was usually cold and strict. Rarely were there times like this when he huffed with a glare. It was pretty rare, and what was rarer was that he acted this way because of Cordelia.Clark smiled and helped the old man back to his room for rest. The servant sent in the tonic that he took every night.Liam finished it with a furrow of brows and placed the bowl back on the tray with a thud.Clark was worried. “Sir, any medicine has its side effects. I think it’s better that you drink less of it.”“It’s fine.” Liam waved a hand. “I’ve been drinking this since I was young. It’s been decades now, and it’s already a habit. Besides, these are holistic herbs. They’re nourishing. They aren’t harmful!”Clark wanted to say more, but nothing came out despite his open mouth.In Royal Manor at night…When Cordelia came out from her shower, she saw that Zephyr was already asleep. She checked the time—it was only 8:00 p.m.Work was busy recently, and Zephyr frequently w

Cordelia screamed, but it was too late for her to run. Zephyr pressed against her within a blink of an eye.The man grabbed her wrists and whispered into her ear, “Wifey, how much is there in the card?”She was honest and answered without even thinking about it, “This is your old black card. There’s no money in there, but it’s unlimited spending—”The beastly-like man kissed her before she was done speaking.She could not breathe.…When they were done, Cordelia lazily leaned on him. She felt as if she had collapsed.Zephyr grabbed her shoulders softly, revealing a satisfied smile.He was not sleepy at all.“No!” She stopped him in time. “I’m exhausted. Please let me go…”He grinned. “Ms. Jenner, your service is unlimited.”Cordelia grabbed the blanket tightly to wrap herself in it. Her big eyes looked at him with her guard up.Zephyr was soft-heartened. He grabbed her into his embrace and patted her smooth back.“Okay, I’ll let you go,” he said gently. “Have a good rest.”

Janine had said that he would not have to show mercy to Rowan if they saw each other…No matter what grudge they had, Rowan had offended his mother before.Offending his mother would mean offending him. Naturally, he would not tolerate him!“I don’t know much about him,” Zephyr said with his deep voice. “Cordelia, stay away from him.”“Why?”“Because…” He could not give a reason. “No matter what, this man is shrewd. Watch out when you work with him. Apart from working, stay away from him.”But…Cordelia pouted.She was upset when she got home and saw her mother being alone and that only the succulents on the balcony were her company.At that time, she had an idea. She wanted to get her mother a boyfriend. She would not be so lonely, at least.She thought about it, and Rowan seemed to be the only one who fulfilled her conditions.“Okay, Cordelia.” Seeing her hesitation, Zephyr gave a light peck on her forehead and said gently. “Let’s talk about something else.”Cordelia yawn

"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
