Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 246

Soon, someone served a plate of shrimp ravioli.

Cordelia was calm. She scooped one up lightly. The hot ravioli exuded the fragrance of the sea. Zephyr could smell it.

He peeped at her again, but she was not looking at him.

His heart sank.

However, Cordelia suddenly stood up soon. She brought an empty plate and picked out the herbs on top. Later on, she scooped half of the ravioli into the plate.

She shoved it toward him and said, after a long time. “Eat.”

Zephyr was stunned and smiled. That was the first thing she said to him since she was discharged from the hospital. He could not help but get excited.

He recalled the time she treated him to a meal at the Regalia Hotel. She had not had much, but she would fulfill his request. She had ordered lobster risotto almost forcefully. She gave half of it to him when it was served and ate almost nothing.

He suddenly thought this lady would not leave him even if he became a beggar one day.

She could accept a man who had been in prison before, but why could she not accept him?

He put down the fork and looked at her with all seriousness.

“Cordelia, I need to talk to you.”

Cordelia suddenly froze. She looked around before lifting her eyes slowly and felt a little uncomfortable when they locked eyes. She was scared.

“Mar—” She almost called him by the wrong name again. She pursed her lips and only called out softly a moment later, “Mr. Hamerton…”

Zephyr felt a squeeze in his heart.

“Just say whatever you have to say, Mr. Hamerton.”

His voice was deep. “Cordelia, are you drawing a boundary between us?”

“I just don’t know what to call you.” She forced a smile. “I’ve been calling you Marcus for over one year, but now…”

“You can still call me hubby,” he quickly said. “Just like before!”

“It’s different.” She was upset. “You’re not my husband. I’m someone else’s wife.”

Zephyr was stunned. He felt empty when she retracted her hand.

“Cordelia, everything is still the same!” He stared at her. “I haven’t changed!

“Do you remember what you said? You said no matter what I became, you’d still love me! You took an oath in the church!”

Cordelia took a deep breath to suppress her surging tears.

She had not changed either. However, she did not know how to face him since the sudden change of identity.

It felt like the same road that she had been taken suddenly had a change of scenery. She did not know how to go on. She had no idea what would be waiting for her at the end.

“I know I shouldn't have lied to you.” Zephyr grabbed her hand in panic. “I planned to tell you everything after I returned from Centrolis this time, but Marcus’ sudden appearance messed up my plan!”

“You had so many opportunities to tell me before he showed up!” Cordelia looked at him. “But you told me nothing! Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I…”
