Married a Secret Billionaire

The doctor had said that her mother must not be shocked with this illness. Cordelia subconsciously thought that the box was something that would shock her as well.

She pressed down the confusion—no matter how many questions she had—and softly closed the door.

Cordelia brought the box home and kept it in the same cabinet as the jewelry box. She looked at it for a long time and sighed. The moment she closed the cabinet door, though, she suddenly felt that the retro carving on the box felt familiar—like she had seen it somewhere but could not remember it.

She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. It felt like she was in a maze where she could not see the exit. Her mind was chaotic.

Robert was booking the return trip flight ticket for Zephyr and showed him a few selected times, but he rejected them impatiently.

Robert was at a loss. This was the first time he had encountered something like this. Ultimately, he asked the great lawyer, Frederic, for help.

Great lawyers had eyes for details. Frederic immediately saw the issue and circled the earliest red-eye flight with a chuckle.

Robert was so surprised that words escaped him.

“Sir hated midnight flights like this the most in the past!”

“He’ll like them very much now.”

“But… first class is sold out on this flight.”

“Book him economy then. The kind where three people are squeezed together on the same row!”

Robert broke out in a cold sweat.

“You won’t be wrong listening to me!” Frederic was experienced. “Even if you ask him to go back hanging on the plane now, he’ll be happy to!”

As expected, the red-eye economy flight was booked, and Zephyr boarded punctually with his luggage through the night.
