Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 159

Nicholas paused and asked, “Who do you want gone?”

There was an eerie silence before Yale uttered heavily, “The third heir of Hamertons, Zephyr Hamerton!”

There was an icy glint in Nicholas’ eyes.

Cordelia looked at Linda, who was curled up on the bed, and could not help feeling the pinch in her nose as she patted her back softly.

Since they came back, Linda had not said a word. She holed herself in the bedroom once she entered the house, and her eyes seemed to have lost their focus. She looked like a husk where her soul was sucked away.

“Linda, you must be hungry?” Cordelia tried everything she could to strike up a conversation. “Seth and Marcus are outside. I’ll get them to make you something, okay?”

Linda blinked, and a teardrop rolled off her eye.

Cordelia felt her heart clench.

The Linda she knew was feisty and carefree, like a seagull cruising through wind and riding on waves. It was as if there was nothing in this world that she could not overcome. Now, though…

After a while, Linda took a deep breath and slowly sat up in bed. She wiped her tears dry and forced a smile.

She said softly, “Cordelia, I’m sorry for today—”

“Why are you apologizing!?” Cordelia interrupted her anxiously. “Nicholas’ the one who came to pick a fight. It’s not like you asked him to come!”

“But it still has something to do with me!”
