Married a Secret Billionaire

“I think Seth’s alright. And I can see that he really likes you.”

After a while, Linda’s voice came from the dark weakly. “Cordelia, let’s not talk about him, okay?”

“I don’t understand.” Cordelia turned around and propped herself up to look at Linda. “You both match each other in every aspect! Seth’s seriously courting you too. Why aren’t you giving him a chance?”

“I… I don’t think I’m a good match for him.”

“You’ll only know if you give it a try, right?”

“No need to try it out. There’s no way!”

Linda’s tone was anxious, as if she was troubled.

There was a long pause before Cordelia asked softly, “Linda, is there… something I don’t know about?”

Silence followed her question. She chuckled and lay back down. “It’s okay. You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to. Heh, it’s getting late. We should sleep!”

“Cordelia…”

“Hmm?”

Linda bit her lips and said with much difficulty, “I… had someone memorable in the past.”

Cordelia paused. It felt like something was stuck in her throat as she wanted to say something but could not.

“That person’s like a childhood friend,” Linda said slowly. “We grew up together. He lived just next door. Like all the other boys, he liked bullying me since we were young, and I hated him at first… But the more things were like that, the closer we grew. When we were 18, we…”

“What happened?”

“We separated and never met again.”

Cordelia did not expect an ending like this. She wanted to ask why. Why had they separated, and why had they never met again? However, she heard Linda’s suppressed sobs in the dark.

With the moonlight that spilled in, she saw Linda’s jerking shoulders. Cordelia was shocked. From the first day she knew Linda, she had never seen the latter cry like this.

The reason they separated… Was it life and death?

“Linda…” Cordelia rested a hand on Linda’s shoulder, wanting to console her.

The group sat around the round table. The dishes were aromatic and looked exquisite. Every dish was placed in delicate porcelain, looking incredibly extravagant.

Seth could care less if the food was drugged. He impatiently helped himself with the dishes.
