Married a Secret Billionaire

Cordelia froze. She seemed not to know where her mother’s hometown was all this while.

Neil misunderstood her silence, so he quickly apologized. “Sorry, I don’t mean to probe into your privacy. I’m just curious…

“There aren’t many people who know how to play Xiroh. This card game comes from Southeast Aciatic, and I’m from Mengasas.”

Neil chortled. “Mengasas is close to Southeast Aciatic, and its culture is influenced as well, so I learned how to play from a young age.”

Cordelia nodded and said with a smile, “You’re smart. I also learned from a young age, but I’ve never managed to grasp it. The way to play is unusual, and there are so many rules! I can’t remember!”

“There are a lot of rules, but there’s a regular pattern in it.”

Neil looked at her and pulled out a few cards to stuff them in Cordelia’s hand.

She wanted to refuse, but when Neil gave her the cards, he held her hand lightly. Surprised, she looked up and met his gentle gaze. His smile was just right, and it was charming.

Cordelia was a little flustered. She quickly pulled her hand and averted her gaze.

“We’re free anyway,” Neil said gently. “Why don’t I teach you?”

“M-Mr. Harris.” Cordelia looked at him. “You’re not going to the hall? You’re one of the main stars today!”

“It’s enough that Mr. Thompson is there.” Neil smiled and pulled a card from her hand, looking at them. “Put this down first, and I’ll tell you what to do next.”

Cordelia followed what he said and went step by step. His explanation was unlike her mother’s. When he explained it in simple terms, she actually felt enlightened.
