Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 482
Matthew was dumbfounded. His pride could not bear it being embarrassed like this in broad daylight.In spite of it, it was still fine that others ignored him—Yale was pretending not to see him too! He was going to call for Yale only to discover that his wonderful son had slipped away from the crowd in secret!“Yale! Yale Hamerton!” Matthew was furious. “You brat!”“Clark, help me back!”Clark glanced at him and said, “My apologies, Mr. Matthew. I have to hurry upstairs. Someone has to be by Elder Mr. Hamerton’s side!”“You…”Before Matthew could lash out, Zephyr instructed everyone with the sense of authority of the family head, “Grandpa’s no longer in a critical state. Stop crowding here! Off to whatever you should be doing!”All of them answered in unison, “Yes, Mr. Zephyr!”Zephyr smiled and left, holding Cordelia’s hand.“Hey, what do I do when all of you are leaving!?” Matthew flailed, frozen on the spot. “Zephyr! You b*stard… At least leave someone with me!“Come back!

Rowan looked at him for a long time with confusion in his eyes.“I don’t get what you’re saying, Zephyr.”Zephyr smiled. “Mr. Irwin, you don’t have to act oblivious. I don’t know medicine, but I know my grandfather.“To be honest, I’ve watched him take this tonic since I was young. He’s been alright taking it for years. How could there be a problem now?“Besides, Clark mentioned that he has recently been taking unusually much of this tonic. It used to be once every three days, but he’d more than like to have it thrice a day now. It’s medicine, not some gourmet delicacy. Not to mention, he wouldn’t have more than three bites even if he came across something delicious. Why has he lost control when it comes to this tonic?Zephyr’s gaze turned deep. “Mr. Irwin, there aren’t just nourishing supplements in this tonic, right?”Rowan looked at him quietly.The kid was not stupid. He could see the problem at a glance.It seemed that Cordelia would do fine marrying him. It would save her

For the sake of the rest of his life, Zephyr must not let Cordelia learn acupuncture from Rowan, no matter what!He began to divert the topic. “Honey, you were amazing today!”“What?”“What you told my uncle. That felt so good!”Cordelia smiled. It was because Matthew was too much and was hurling accusations recklessly!After a few interactions, she actually found Henry unproblematic aside from being relatively honest and timid. No one said that honest people should be bullied. She could not stand it.In addition, she stepped up because it did feel powerless when Kate was defending them alone.“It’s my honor to have seen my wife’s cool side again today!”“And you sound like you’ve eaten honey today.” Cordelia glanced at Zephyr with a smile.Zephyr rested his head on her shoulder and held her arm with both hands.“Honey, you saw it too… We have so many snakes at home. It’s really hard for me to survive! You’ve got to protect me well!”Cordelia really could not stand it anymor

“I didn’t say that I agree!”Xyla looked at her daughter and smiled when she caught the slight disappointment in her expression.Even when she could not see Rowan again in this lifetime, having the pair of children she had was the most precious gift the man had given her.“I know that you’re doing this for my sake,” Xyla said gently, “But I really don’t want to look for someone else. How William Jenner treated me in the past… It’s still fresh in my head.”Cordelia hung her head in silence.“But the man you mentioned, he’s not as bad as William Jenner, right?”“Huh?” Cordelia jolted. “No, of course not! He’s super nice!”“Treating the sick and saving those in need is benevolent.” Xyla smiled. “I don’t agree to another marriage, but meeting him and having an acquaintance is fine.”“Really?” Cordelia’s eyes lit up. She hugged her mother.The sun traced a gentle outline of gold around the mother and daughter cuddling together. Ginger meowed and stretched with a squint.Everything

Although Xyla had no intention of getting married again, Cordelia still thought that it was hopeful because of her willingness for an acquaintance.Therefore, she had been thinking of ways to pull the two together these days. Ultimately, the best method seemed to be the most old-school as well—that was to come out and meet.Cordelia first called Rowan and vaguely expressed that she would like to sit down somewhere with him for a chat and explicitly asked him to bring the Siamese cat along.When Rowan hung up, he felt a buzz in his ears and was delightfully surprised.“Charlie, I didn’t mishear, did I?” he repeatedly confirmed in disbelief. “Cordelia wants to… She wants to have coffee with me?”Charlie felt like it was a miracle too.Cordelia was gentle and approachable but almost never took the initiative to ask someone out.Charlie frowned and suddenly caught a detail.“Mr. Irwin, Cordelia asked that you bring the Siamese cat along!”“Hmm, so?”“You forgot? She had a tabby w

Rowan quietly watched the mother and daughter as his vision blurred. He fell in a daze, and the crate in his hands fell to the ground. The small Siamese cat meowed helplessly and began to claw at the crate door.A strong arm held onto him then.Startled, Rowan turned to meet Zephyr’s complicated gaze.“You…”Zephyr picked the crate up. “Mr. Irwin, are you not going in?”Rowan’s eyes were still red. It took him a few deep breaths to calm his emotions down.Zephyr sympathized with him for some reason. He had not thought it was a good idea when Cordelia was making arrangements for this, but he could not bear to interrupt her, seeing how excited she was.He was afraid of something undesirable happening today when Rowan and Xyla met, so he had stayed there to keep an eye out.When he saw the old geezer’s shocked and regretful look, he felt a mix of feelings.After he survived the plane crash, Rowan had sent him specialized medicine to treat him. The older man had said he was not ge

“Oh…” Cordelia was rather disappointed.“Mr. Irwin said next time.” Zephyr decided for his father-in-law. “He’ll definitely come and share his thoughts about keeping cats as pets with mom when he’s ready.”“Alright.” Cordelia pouted and pulled out her phone, talking to herself in puzzlement, “Even if Uncle Irwin’s not coming, he should’ve texted me…”“Maybe he forgot it when he got busy, with old age and all.”Zephyr suddenly pulled Cordelia into his arms and rubbed her head.Cordelia could feel the man’s passion, but this was a public space, so she punched him in embarrassment.“Let go of me…”“Cordelia.”“What?”Zephyr felt a squeeze in his heart.He thought of how she walked on the muddy road in the white wedding dress despite the storm, how she was timid and cautious back when they were in the rundown house, how she agreed to marry in place of Yelena to gather enough money for her mother’s medical fees, how she wanted to sell his heirloom jewelry when she failed to ask fo

Cordelia immediately related it to a name list that Janine had passed to her not too long ago. It was a list of Imperial Media’s artists who had potential but had yet to get famous. They were hopeful, though.Cordelia smiled. This celebrity talent show was most probably prepared for these artists.“Alright, I understand.” Cordelia looked at Mr. Smith. “But I have something to ask.”“Go on, Ms. Cordelia!”“Why would Madam Baker work with someone like this?” Cordelia frowned.Mr. Smith explained with a chuckle, “It’s not that Madam Baker wants to work with him. It’s the market’s choice. We’re investing in a big production this time and hope to win internationally. We’re bound to use a director who’s globally recognized.“Chad’s films are pretty low-class, but same thing… He got lucky somehow and won the award. It’s been a smooth sail for him from then on.“And he is sort of talented in filming angles. Even Ms. Trinity Lulham has openly praised him before.”“Oh…” Cordelia nodded,

"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
