Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 98
It was surprising that Cordelia could get used to living with such a man!Linda frowned slightly. At that moment, Cordelia happened to return. She was holding a bouquet of flowers.“I saw this at a florist next to the car park.” She smiled brightly. “The ward will only look lively with some flowers. I can’t believe I was so busy before that I only remembered to buy flowers now!”She found a glass bottle and put the flowers in. She then placed it at the window.Marcus’ eyes instantly became gentle as soon as he saw her, and he held her tiny hand softly.Linda found an excuse and left immediately. She did not want to be a mega third-wheel there!Cordelia blushed. She retracted her hand and stared at him with her bright eyes.“You didn’t shower yesterday, right? Let me wipe you.”She turned around and left right away. She soon came back with a pail of hot water.She was the one who had been wiping Marcus throughout his stay in the hospital. She twisted the hot towel and lifted hi

“Oh, so you’re Dr. Stafford?” Linda quickly retracted her hand that was still shaking his. “Cordelia and Marcus’ matchmaker?”Seth did not notice the subtle change of emotion in her eyes. Not only that, but he had been under the impression that he had done a great job in matchmaking the couple—he had made a beautiful marriage happen.He tidied his coat. With a little pride in his voice, he looked at her with a smile. “It’s me. Ha, I didn’t help much. They’re destined to be together. I merely—”“You didn’t help?” Linda interrupted him and raised her voice. “You sure are humble, Dr. Stafford!”Seth frowned upon realizing something was off about her.“Dr. Stafford, you’re a doctor! Saving lives is your job, right? Why do I feel like you’re like those nosy ladies who have nothing to do, trying to matchmake everyone they know?“Forget that you were matchmaking... You should’ve gotten her a good man!” Linda could not help but vent her spleen. “You got Cordelia to marry Marcus. Weren’t

“That’s right! The Jenner Group is one of the best in the industry. Our company is nothing. It’s amazing that we can get a share of your achievement!”“Don’t say that.” Yelena looked at them, smiling. “You’re too kind. My dad actually told me before I came that this collaboration would be training for me. After all, I’ll take over the family business in the future. If I made any mistakes at all, I ask for your forgiveness!”The entire meeting room fell into silence.Cordelia sensed everyone’s stares and secretly scoffed. What Yelena was saying was that she wanted everyone to know that she would inherit the Jenner Group. An illegitimate daughter like her would be excluded.Although she was also a Jenner, she would get nothing at all!If that were the case, she might suffer in the company in the future. These people usually treated their employees according to their social status. If she lost the Jenner Group’ support, she would also lose the respect of the company.Cordelia took a

Upon hearing this, Dwayne Adler from the marketing department gestured at his men.Then, Yelena looked at Cordelia with a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “I remember that you’re very good at serving and entertaining other people, right, Ms. Jenner? So, can you do me a favor and bring me a cup of tea?”Everyone turned around and looked at Cordelia.Apparently, the conflict between the legitimate and illegitimate daughter could never be resolved. Cordelia stood up and looked at her before walking toward the pantry without any expression.David’s eyelids were twitching. He was covered in a cold sweat when he thought of someone telling Josiah and Fredric to merge the two companies.When he was about to stand up and stop Cordelia, something popped up in his mind again. ‘Maybe this is just a coincidence? Maybe both companies had the intention to merge. It just happened to be at the moment of Cordelia's incident…’In any case, Cordelia’s background was a myth, but ever

Cordelia walked up to Yelena silently and grabbed her arm. Yelena was about to shout at her, but Cordelia shut her up with a glare. Cordelia rarely adopted a stern face, and she was no longer the pushover she used to be. Yelena's heart skipped a beat. The corner of her lips twitched, and she didn't dare to make even the slightest sound.People always said that spouses would influence each other in terms of their behavior. Could it be that after marrying Marcus, Cordelia had finally shed away her gentle nature and become as ruthless as Marcus was? “What are you trying to do?”Cordelia pitched her voice low, and her eyes were filled with menace as she stared fixedly at Yelena. “Sis, I represent the company, and you represent our father and the Jenners. Are you trying to disgrace our father by being so unreasonable?”Yelena looked at her in astonishment and clenched her fists tightly.“Are you aware of the consequences if that cup of tea landed on me just now? There are so many

Smiling gently, Marcus replied, “We’re going to the Regalia Hotel.”Cordelia gulped, and the corner of her lips twitched.‘Regalia Hotel again? Every time we go out to eat, he will certainly go to the Regalia Hotel.’However, since he had just recovered from his injuries, Cordelia figured that she should just go along with him.After Cordelia changed her clothes, they went to the hotel.Many people were going in and out of the Regalia Hotel, but strangely enough, nobody sat at the table near the window.As soon as they entered the hotel, the waiter enthusiastically led them to the table beside the window.“Honey, isn’t this where we sat for the last two times?” Cordelia said, “They're so attentive. We've only been here twice, and they already know where we always sit.”Marcus smiled but did not say anything. He glanced at the menu and handed it to the waiter while exchanging glances.The waiter could recognize Marcus. Knowing that he had a great relationship with Josiah, he hu

Marcus’ eyes glowed as he looked at Cordelia, interested in what she said.“Our own business?”“That’s right! If we can do some investment or side hustle after work, it can bring us some income too!” Cordelia said in a serious manner, “Even a small store or a stall will do. At least, it's counted as our own business as well. If we're the boss, we can make all the decisions we want. Don't you think that's great?”“What kind of business would you invest in if you had the money?”Cordelia fell silent and thought for a while, looking like a girl dreaming of her future.“If I have a lot of money, I want to buy a shopping mall! People will come to my shopping mall every day and buy from me! Hehe! But I think this is impossible, so a more realistic goal is to save money to open a small coffee shop with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a small courtyard full of irises. Then, I'll sit behind the counter, grinding coffee and baking a few pastries. The entire coffee shop will be filled wit

Other women would want their husbands to be the richest men in the world, but the woman in front of him was different. Cordelia looked at him while blinking her eyes.“Why? Is it not good to be a normal person?”“Well, not that.” Marcus smiled lightly. “What I’m trying to say is that if your husband is more capable, you’ll have a better life, don’t you think so?”“I’m very satisfied with what I have now!” Cordelia wrapped her arm around his and leaned on his shoulder.She had always been someone who was easily satisfied.Compared to a wealthy life, she preferred to spend her life together with the man she loved in peace.“Honestly, I don’t envy those rich people at all,” she said with a low voice. Maybe it's because I grew up in a dysfunctional family. I witnessed my mother's tragedy, and I feel that all rich people are heartless.“So, I just want to have someone who loves me, have a home of my own. We'll eat and play together until we're old! That's my biggest wish!”Marcus

"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
