Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 464
Rowan panicked. He was stunned as he looked at Cordelia.What was happening? Was his daughter testing him?Or did Xyla know that he was in Centrolis and got Cordelia to test him? To see if he still liked her?Tiny droplets of sweat dripped from his nose. His heart was pounding.Cordelia did not know that he had so much going on in his mind. She only thought her question was so sudden that it scared him.Even if she was in a hurry to look for a partner for her mother, she should not ask so directly!“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” She kept apologizing. “I didn’t mean anything ill, Uncle Irwin. I won’t ask if you don’t want to answer that!”“I…” Rowan smiled awkwardly. “I’ve actually never thought about that. I’ve been busy with work and medical research these years. I’ve long forgotten about this.”“Isn’t it great to have someone to spend your life with?”Was it?Great?Rowan felt melancholic.Apart from Xyla, there was nobody in the world that he wanted to spend his life with.How

Charlie coughed hard twice to remind Rowan that his way of caring was too obvious.Only then did he hold back. He straightened his body and walked out in big steps.At that moment, someone came over to hand Clark medicine that was boiled.Rowan frowned when he smelled the herbal fragrance, as he was sensitive to that. He asked softly, “What’s this?”“Supplement for the master.”As Clark was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and looked at Rowan.“Mr. Irwin!”“What’s wrong?”Clark showed the medicine and said, “I wonder if you can check this for me…”Rowan’s eyes dimmed.Clark was Liam’s subordinate, but he was suspicious of the medicine.It meant that it was a serious matter.“I’m not suspicious or anything, sir.” Clark lowered his voice. “It’s just that I heard every medicine has its side effects. I don’t want my employer to drink too much of it. Furthermore, he’s healthy…”Rowan chuckled and put the medicine away.It was a tricky one. No

A fit of giggles escaped Cordelia. How could it be the same?Ginger’s fur was soft, and this man’s hair was as hard as his temper.Despite that, she stroked his handsome face and flashed a soft smile.“Darling.” Zephyr held her hand.Cordelia thought he was hungry and told him seriously, “Aunt Helen’s on break today. There’s no one cooking.”Perhaps they had been worn out with work recently. They exchanged a glance and shared a tacit smile, both continuing to slack on the couch.Cordelia had gone through 2/3 of the book she was reading while Zephyr continued hugging her after he switched to another position.As they looked outside, though, the weather was so nice that it would be a pity to waste it.Zephyr’s stomach growled.Cordelia smiled and wanted to get up to make him something to eat when he held her back.“Cordelia, don’t bother! We can go out to eat.”“Huh?” Cordelia chuckled wryly. “I really don’t want to eat at Splendor Dynasty anymore…”Zephyr rubbed her hair wit

“Give me a bit more…”“No!”“Darling, just a little more!”The people in front of them overheard their conversation, and they turned around for a look.“A grown man acting so childish like a kid…”“Did the girl bring her son out? Haha!”Cordelia could not help chuckling when she heard the whispers.Zephyr glanced at her and quietly put down the last piece of animal-shaped cracker to sit down obediently.The order number was still being called out very slowly, and the server began distributing hair accessories to everyone.Cordelia saw a couple in front putting them on. Those were hair clips that lit up and blinked, and there were various styles.Zephyr immediately saw how anticipating she was and covered her eyes with his big hands.“Ah, what are you doing!?”“No looking!” he said with a deep voice, “Not getting those either!”He swore with his life that he would not put something like that on his head. It was embarrassing!“Hello, cuties!” The server came to them. “Which

Zephyr pulled a long face as he stared at Josiah with an unsettling gaze.“Z?” Josiah was smiling, but he was deeply unnerved.Zephyr really wanted to just say that he did not know him, but he took a deep breath and swallowed his words, replying with a deep hum instead.Josiah was confused while Kelly smiled and took the same blinking hair clips from the server. She wore one, and Josiah wore another, just like Zephyr and Cordelia.It took a while, but they finally got a table, and the four of them sat together.“It’s rare to bump into both of you!” Cordelia said with a smile, “Order whatever you want. I’ll buy the meal!”“No way!” Josiah grinned as well. “Can’t let you spend on us. I’ll do the honors!”They looked through the menu as they spoke and went through the dishes.Cordelia was surprised to see Kelly and was very happy that she could be out and about, so she held her hand and bombarded her with questions.“Are you doing much better recently?“Do you still go for regul

It was more than common for men from wealthy and influential families like this to have a lover and a few illegitimate children.Darn it! If Rowan did have children, how was she supposed to introduce him to her mother!?Cordelia deflated a little and ate the sashimi gloomily. Meanwhile, Zephyr did not look quite good. He asked Kelly in a serious tone, “Are you sure his daughter said it?”“No.” Kelly shrugged. “I only remember him saying that he only treated me because of what his girl said. I wouldn’t know who that is in particular!”Zephyr’s heart drummed as he stared at Cordelia in a daze. He suddenly remembered that Cordelia had brought him to an art gallery previously, and one of the paintings there, The Fireflies’ Light, was hung where it was the most obvious.Cordelia had told him proudly that it was her mother’s piece. Zephyr had then noticed that the painting was signed off with Xyla.“Your mother’s name is Xyla?” That was his first time knowing his mother-in-law’s name

Janine sat down next to him. “Son, h-how did you know?”Zephyr was rendered speechless. “Mom, do I look stupid to you?”Janine kept silent.“You can understand something like this with just a slight analysis!” Zephyr frowned.He was just aware and had analyzed it too late.Actually, all of this could be traced back to when the three of them were stranded on the deserted island.He finally understood why Rowan kept his eyes on Cordelia and was concerned for her, just like how he would for his daughter. She was his actual daughter!“Mom, what’s going on? Rowan’s already back. Why isn’t he reuniting with Cordelia?”Janine looked at him and sighed. She pushed the documents waiting for her attention to one side and told her secretary on duty that no one was allowed to enter the office.She then made a pot of chamomile tea and told Zephyr everything in the past.“This is why Rowan doesn’t dare meet Xyla or reunite with Cordelia.”Janine gnashed her teeth. “The sc*mbag cost Xyla’s

Although Liam looked like he had accepted Cordelia now, Zephyr knew him too well. It was just his delaying tactic. If there was an opportunity, Liam would still look for a fiancee who was easy to control from a family that was influential for him.If Cordelia had the Irwins behind her, Liam would have something to watch out for.Zephyr got up and left. He already knew what to do about the matter, but his mother was right about something—the important thing was Cordelia’s feelings.…When Zephyr arrived home later, Cordelia was already in bed. He took a shower and got changed quietly before slipping under the blanket and hugging her.As Cordelia felt his warm hands, she instinctively snuggled closer to him. Zephyr’s stretched arms circled her just nicely, and he pushed himself closer to kiss her forehead.Cordelia opened her eyes groggily and smiled when she saw him.“You’re back…”His voice was deep. “Sorry to wake you up.”“No.” Cordelia cuddled him. “I wanted to wait for you

"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
