Married a Secret Billionaire

Liam’s study was huge, like a library. The bookshelves were as high as the ceiling and were filled with famous books by experts in various fields. Even then, an echo could still be heard from each step taken. Cordelia sat on the couch and grasped the hem of her skirt anxiously. Zephyr intertwined their fingers together lightly and gave her a reassuring smile. Liam sat at the table in a suit. Although he was old, he looked well and lively. As he scanned Cordelia, his gaze was cryptic and complicated. “Ms. Cordelia, please have tea.” He was polite to her. Cordelia nodded lightly and watched how Zephyr did it before she drank the tea. She took a small sip slowly like him. Liam could see that she was a smart girl. She was not reckless and rash.

She nodded. “Work’s been piling up previously, so I’ll need some time.” He looked at her apologetically. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat with you.” “It’s fine. Work’s important.” “Do you want to go around the manor? I’ll let Robert go with you.” “No.” She shook her head. “I’m going back to mom’s. She’s a little unwell today.” Zephyr was going to call for

Not only did he drive slowly and steadily, but he also introduced the manor to her while he drove. “Ms. Cordelia, Mr. Zephyr’s Zen Residence is not far from here. That’s the only Chaiseland-inspired structure in the manor because he grew up in Chaiseland! “Ms. Cordelia, look over there… Heh, that’s the manor’s
