Married a Secret Billionaire

Zephyr knew that unless Rowan admitted this to Cordelia or Xyla told her personally, it would feel entirely different if the girl were to find out from someone else.

Liam coughed with a frown.

Then, the servants served Blossom Mandarin, one portion per person, placing it gently beside them.

“Cordelia.” Liam was quick to change the topic. “Try this!”

Cordelia snapped back to her senses and nodded with a smile.

She recalled back when she had not known about Zephyr’s identity yet and he had taken her on a honeymoon to the hot spring hotel. It had been spring, and the mountain by the hot spring had been blooming with peach blossoms. It had felt like paradise.

Back then, the signature dish of the hot spring hotel had been Blossom Mandarin. She had picked the fish eye and given it to Zephyr.

She did the same now. The most precious things were meant for the most precious people.

There was unnoticeable envy on Liam’s jaded face when he saw it. After some time, he muttered softly, “Your grandmother… did that for me in the past too.”

Zephyr and Cordelia put their cutlery down at the same time.

This was the first time Zephyr saw his grandfather wear a sorrowful expression in his life. His grandmother had passed away before his birth, so his impression of her was only limited to the oil painting in Liam’s study and the old photos on the table.

Growing up, his understanding of Liam had always been that he was cold, strict, and merciless and he was known for his impartiality and ruthlessness in business.

That was why he had never known that there was a sensitive, fragile side to his grandfather that no one knew of, that there was a secret garden where someone he treasured the most lived in.

“Grandpa…”

“Hah, it’s fine! It’s nothing!” Liam recomposed himself very soon. “Dig in! No need to mind me! Sigh, once you get old, you like to reminisce…”
