Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 133

“I’m okay.” Linda sniffled and forced a chortle as she patted the back of Cordelia’s hand.

“Linda.” Cordelia paused. She did not say what she had intended to. Instead, she said softly, “Rest earlier. Don’t keep things to yourself. You can treat me as the hole in the tree. It’s better to talk about it.

“But if you don’t want to, I won’t ask either.”

“Cordelia, I…” Linda was hesitant to speak. It was after a while that she said in a low tone, “I don’t think I deserve Seth.”

“What?”

“I’m not worth Seth’s time.” Linda bit her lips. “I… That person and I, we’ve…”

Although Linda did not finish her sentence, Cordelia understood what had happened. She was rather surprised. Linda had always been sunny and cheerful. She was sometimes feisty but was certainly not a casual person in terms of sleeping around.

If a woman did not love a man wholeheartedly, how would she give herself away?

Cordelia’s heart squeezed. She felt for Linda’s fingers and gave them a squeeze.

“Linda, you’re thinking too much,” she said softly. “There’s nothing shameful about this past. You two liked each other genuinely. I believe that you must’ve given yourself to him with the faith of staying together with him for life.

“So if there wasn’t an accident back then, you must still be together now, right?”

Linda remained silent.

“Linda, I understand why you can’t accept Seth. It’s not because you don’t deserve him. It’s because you don’t have space for another person except for that person.”

“Cordelia…” Linda sobbed.

Cordelia moved closer to hug Linda’s quivering body and pat her back softly like a mother would to a baby.

“I actually think it’s fine,” she said. “It’s normal for people to have a past. Besides, what year is it now? People should already be used to things like this. I believe that Seth won’t mind either.”
