Married a Secret Billionaire

Zephyr was not asleep either, listening to her movements in the dark.

“Cordelia,” he was heard saying huskily in the dark. “You’re not asleep yet?”

“Mm…”

“Then let’s talk.”

Cordelia bit her lips as her heart skipped a beat. She discreetly got up to look over her bed. Zephyr had his back against her. As silvery light peeked from the window, his broad back and chiseled lines could vaguely be seen.

Her heart squeezed. This man used to hold up a world that was only hers for her. Now that she looked at his back, she suddenly felt like hugging him…

Cordelia lay back down abruptly and covered half of her face with the duvet, trying to calm her thrashing heart.

Zephyr asked softly, “Cordelia, do you still not want to go to Centrolis with me?”

Cordelia stayed quiet.

Zephyr took a deep breath. “I admit that it’s my fault that I hid my identity. And I’ll be honest that I didn’t think of having any future with you when I first got together with you.”

Cordelia clutched her blanket with shaking hands.

“But I didn’t expect to fall in love with you.

“Cordelia, I’ve checked it out clearly. You have no relationship tied to Marcus Grist.” He paused. “So, can you give me a chance and let us go back to when we first got together?”

“What did you say?” Cordelia was stunned.

“I want a chance to go back to the past.” Each word of Zephyr knocked on her heart. “I’ll tell you who I am at the first instant… and love you openly as Zephyr Hamerton.”

Cordelia had been taking care of Xyla by the bed, but the latter did not seem to get better. The previous treatments seemed to have been wasted effort after William and Yelena came for trouble.

No matter how much it pained Cordelia to see her mother so sullen and dazed, she could only force herself to perk up.

Seth asked the doctor in charge of Xyla in the past and specially asked a psychiatric expert. They came to the unanimous conclusion to switch up the place Xyla was living in.

“Cordelia, perhaps changing the environment will be helpful to her condition,” Seth told her. “I’ve studied many cases that are similar to her condition. Most have differing levels of recovery after a change of environment.

“And she has had unhappy experiences in Jangasas. Don’t let her stay around this place. Changing up the place or lifestyle will be beneficial for her.”
