Married a Secret Billionaire

Cordelia’s hands went cold.

Zephyr blamed himself. “Cordelia, it’s my fault. I was careless. And I watched Aunt Helen drink the soup without stopping her…”

Cordelia looked at him.

He had his head lowered like a child who had done something wrong in front of her again. He took all the blame because he knew that she liked Helen. The latter doted on her like a mother and took good care of her when he did not have time to keep her company.

He cared a lot about the people she cared about.

It was just that this was not his fault. This was an ambush no one could prevent.

“You can’t be blamed,” Cordelia said softly. “We can’t avoid it when someone wants to harm us.”

Zephyr froze.

Cordelia’s sweet smile lit up his whole world.

“Besides, I know that you did it for me. You’re worried about people harming me, so not even Aunt Helen, who’s so close to us, can do it.

“So why should I blame you?”

Cordelia cuddled him after that, stunning him before he lifted a hand to stroke her smooth hair.

“It’s fortunate that we discovered it early,” Zephyr said seriously. “And so fortunate that Aunt Helen is fine.”
