Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 193

“Just in case!”

Cordelia stroked her belly and smiled at him, gentle and determined.

“If we do have a child, we have to plan for them. But I want to buy this insurance for you…”

Her heart and eyes were filled with him as she held his hand.

“Honey… this is the first time I got pregnant. I’m honestly quite nervous. I went through a lot of information these two days, and I’m afraid if something happens like what the forums say—”

“Nonsense!” Zephyr glowered and glared at her sternly. “Stop imagining things. Nothing will happen to you!”

“Calm down!” Cordelia snuggled against him. “I’m just saying in case something happens. Remember to claim the insurance.”

“Nothing will happen! No in case!” Zephyr could not help growling. His dark glower scared even Cordelia.

She stared at him in a trance, her heart thumping.

Zephyr moved swiftly, tearing both insurance forms into shreds right away.

The world quieted down instantly as if they had gone into a vacuum.

The fierce sense of aggression coming from Zephyr caused Cordelia to step back involuntarily.

“Darling…”

Zephyr snapped back to reality at once. He had scared her. He pulled her right into his arms and said, “I’m not showing my temper at you. I just want you to know that accidents like this won’t happen.

“Even if something does happen…”

His eyes darkened as his voice turned hoarse. “I don’t want the child. I only want you!”

Cordelia felt her heart swell with warmth and a pinch on her nose. Her hand stroked the man’s broad back lightly.

“Silly man, what are you talking about?

“It’s our child. Will you really bear to do it?”

“Yes!” Zephyr confirmed without any hesitation.

Cordelia could not help chuckling. Her fair hand pinched his face as her big eyes sparkled like the starry night.

Zephyr’s stern glower and seriousness were scary, but she knew that it was because he was nervous.

“Alright,” she said softly. “No one’s allowed to say unlucky things like this anymore. Both of us will grow old into our hundreds and become old monsters, okay?”

It was only then a hint of a smile crept on Zephyr’s face.

The incident served him a reminder.

A few days later, he met Frederic in the latter’s firm. “How’s what I asked you to do going?”

Frederic rubbed his chin and pulled a few drafts from his computer.

“Z, compared to whatever insurance you mentioned… I think you might as well pen a personal statement claiming that Cordelia has rights to half of your wealth and stuff. It’s more appropriate.”

“Will a statement like that have legal validity?” Zephyr found it a must to ask if the law recognized it with anything that involved Cordelia’s benefits now.

Frederic grinned. “Of course, it’s legally binding once it’s notarized!”

“Mm.”

“But are you really doing this, Z?”

“She’s my wife. What’s mine should be hers too.”

Even though their marriage certificates were still an issue, he wanted to assure Cordelia first.

“Word will get to the old man very soon if you do this. After all, you’re the most hopeful heir of the Hamertons. Your assets are basically invaluable.”

Zephyr puffed out a smoke ring, and his gaze dimmed.
