Married a Secret Billionaire

One year later, Lina successfully completed her studies and returned to Centrolis to start a new phase in life.

Not much had happened during that year, but all that did happen was positive.

Melissa’s condition had stabilized, and she had been discharged from the hospital to rest at home. As long as she took her medication on time and maintained a good mood, there would be no significant problems.

Jesse enjoyed taking care of Melissa every day. He tended to the plants and flowers, cleaned the house, and found joy in being by her side. After so many ups and downs in life, he was grateful that she was the one who had stayed with him till the end. He understood now what he had meant when he told Lina that a young couple would accompany each other in old age.

Dave had successfully entered the University of Centrolis. He had excellent grades and an outgoing personality, and he was the target of many girls’ pursuits upon admission. However, he was not in a rush to start a relationship and focused on his studies.

Linda’s mental state had also improved. She no longer needed to take antidepressants and only took sleeping pills occasionally to help her sleep. Cordelia noticed her radiant face and weight gain during their last meeting.

“Cordelia, I can’t even zip up the dress you took me to buy two years ago now. I’ve gained weight. I’ve lost all my looks!”

Cordelia smiled. “Having a bit of flesh is a sign of good fortune. Now that you have a daughter and you’re content, it’s not bad to gain a little weight!”

Linda could not hide her happiness whenever her daughter was brought up.

Nicholas and Zephyr often played golf together and sometimes went horse riding or fencing. However, these activities were more of an excuse for them to rest and chat. They now preferred activities that did not require too much physical exertion, such as dipping in hot springs, playing chess, or fishing together.

Zephyr would sometimes lament about how time went by. He used to be a fearless young boxer, and Nicholas had been a respected figure in the underworld. Now, the two of them could be seen sitting together with fishing rods for hours. If they got home late for dinner, their wives would scold them.

However, one thing that had not changed since their youth was their habit of discussing how to save secret funds whenever they were together. Jesse would occasionally join them, and he would laugh heartily once the topic of secret funds came up.

“My wife heard Zuko say that some men only get 70 dollars as their pocket money each month! Hahaha…”

As soon as he saw how Zephyr looked like he wanted to throw him into the pond, he stopped laughing and concentrated on fishing.
