Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 473
This was completely different from their usual chats. Zephyr would never ramble about these to her!Therefore, there were only two possibilities in regard to his unusual behavior.First, he was indirectly blaming her for not giving him a child. Second, was he having thoughts about… abandoning her?Cordelia stopped what she was doing abruptly. She had dove right into this train of thought, and her tears welled up right away with the pang she felt.“Cordelia… Darling!” Zephyr panicked. “I don’t mean it like that. You’ve misunderstood me!”“Don’t touch me!” Cordelia cried and picked up his pillow to throw it outside.Zephyr put himself in front of her frantically and wanted to use the trick Nicholas had taught him. Before he was able to get on his knees, though, Cordelia had shoved him out of the door alongside a blanket!Zephyr patted the bedroom door and finally understood what the idiom ‘a cat on a hot tin roof’ meant—as well as ‘shooting himself in the foot’. Had he turned stup

Those few days, Cordelia kept Zephyr at arm’s length and was lukewarm to him. She also took a work leave from Imperial Media and went home to take care of Xyla.After Xyla heard about the reason for their fight, she laughed so hard that she nearly poured the whole bottle of water into her succulents.“That’s it?” She poked Cordelia’s head and whined. “You’re growing more insensible the older you get!”“Mom…” Cordelia rubbed her head.As she calmed down, she also thought she was a little oversensitive this time. It was just that women seemed to have the most accurate sixth sense, and she felt that Zephyr was unlike how he always was that night. His words seemed to imply something else.“Zephyr’s just expressing his thoughts. Do you have to think so much into it?”“But he mentioned my father…” Cordelia swallowed the rest of her words studying Xyla’s expression.Xyla looked nonchalant, but there was an almost unnoticeable quiver in her hands that were watering the plants.She look

Robert smiled dryly. “Well… Maybe Ms. Cordelia’s an exception.”Zephyr hit a fist on the car door.Finally, Robert drove them to Imperial Media with much caution.As soon as Zephyr entered the lobby, he realized that a certain someone was there with him. He froze before catching up and putting himself in front of that person.His gaze was cold and deep as he wore a small smirk.“Mr. Irwin?”Rowan was surprised as well, not expecting to run into Zephyr here.Charlie and Robert greeted each other and then turned their eyes to their bosses in unison.“What brings you here, Mr. Irwin?”Rowan did not answer and avoided his gaze.Zephyr snickered. “You must be here for my mother? It’s the same telling me if you have anything for her.”“I have something private to talk about to Madam Baker. Excuse me for not being able to disclose it to you, Mr. Zephyr.”Something private? Hah! About reuniting with his family?Zephyr’s gaze darkened, and the smirk he wore grew more mocking.It w

The two of them stopped at the same time. They stared blankly at where the voice came from.Cordelia stood aside and looked at them in shock, with her eyes widened.Although Rowan was being held, he was obviously winning. There seemed to be something in his hand…He instantly snapped back to his senses and hid the needle in his sleeve!“Cordelia?” Zephyr was stunned. Subsequently, he showcased his acting skills by covering where his aorta was on his neck. He frowned and looked like he was in pain.“What happened!?” Cordelia was shocked. She quickly went over to check on him.“I’m hurting a little bit…” He looked at her. “And I’m dizzy.”“Sir!?” Robert’s face turned pale. “Don’t scare me, sir. I was pulling you hard. Mr. Irwin didn’t touch you—”“Ahem!” Zephyr coughed hard and glared fiercely at Robert.Only then did the latter come to his senses and shut up immediately.Fortunately, his cough masked what Robert said in the end.Cordelia became nervous now. She looked left an

Zephyr and Cordelia came to the manor.The place where Henry and Kate lived was called Gale Bay. It had the best view in the entire manor.It was facing a river with mountains behind it. It was scenic. There was everything in the courtyard, just like what nobles had in their mansions in ancient times.Cordelia did not know where to look as she walked.It seemed like Liam was biased toward his first son. Although he had nothing and was useless, he still got the best in the entire family.“Grandpa loves my dad.” Zephyr held her hand and said calmly. “That’s why my second uncle doesn’t like me.”“Would people really have a bias against their own children?”Cordelia was curious.Zephyr’s father was a quiet, honest man. Even if Liam was biased, he should like Matthew, who was eloquent!“Grandpa says my dad is his first child.” He chuckled. “Perhaps parents always love their firstborn more. Apart from my second uncle, I have two aunts and another uncle. They are doing business overs

“Sister, can you teach me how to bake cakes next? I want to bake one for my mom!”Cordelia nodded while smiling. It seemed the little princess had recovered.Meanwhile, Zennie and Seth looked good when they stood next to each other. They were like the main characters coming out of a romance novel.Cordelia noticed that Zennie would blush when she talked to Seth.She signaled Zephyr, and Zephyr replied to her with his eyes.They moved separately. Cordelia wanted Zennie to pick her wedding dress on her iPad, so they went into her room.Zephyr used the excuse of needing Seth’s help to get him into the courtyard.“Thank you.”Seth was shy from that serious gratitude.“We’re bros. There’s no need to be so polite!”“I’m sincere in thanking you.” Zephyr patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Nobody was willing to help me when I was in trouble. It was you who stayed in my ward that saved my life…”“No, no! It was the medicine from that man that saved you. I was merely feedin

Seth noticed that something was up with Zephyr judging by his face. However, after thinking for a long time, he could not figure out what was wrong.“Do you really treat him as a sister only?” His face was grim.Seth inhaled sharply and paused for a couple of seconds.“What else?” He looked at Zephyr. “W-What else can she be to me?”“Haven’t you thought about anything else?”Anything else…Seth was at a loss.Zephyr was pissed when he saw his stupid face.One could not make a carving from rotten wood. No wonder he had failed to pursue Linda!Seth asked carefully, “Zen, w-what are you trying to say?”Zephyr glared at him. “Nothing! You just keep treating her like your sister, then!”He turned to leave after he was done speaking.Seth was stunned for a while, standing where he was. He smiled like an idiot and went after Zephyr.When they were in Jangasas, he was weird. He would often throw tantrums.Everyone would stay far away from him, but Seth did not mind it.Now that

When they got downstairs, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.“Go to the main house, Madam!”“What’s wrong?”“The old master fainted!”Zephyr’s eyes turned grim. He instantly went downstairs.Cordelia and Zennie went over too, while Kate and Henry followed behind them.Many people had arrived at Liam’s place. Everything about him was the most important to the Hamertons, let alone he had fainted now.Henry and Kate had arrived. Clark was guarding the door when Zephyr arrived, and he looked worried.“How’s grandpa?”“The doctor is in there!”There was a professional medical team in the manor tending to emergencies.However, the team had many people. Zephyr did not trust all of them, so he got the team to leave and got Seth there.He got a conclusion after the preliminary check. “The old master has an embolism.”“Does that mean his blood vessels are blocked?”“Yes.” Seth nodded. “Fortunately, it’s not serious, and we found out in time. Your medical team gave him an inje

"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
