Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 258

It was a year ago.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to go back to when it first started?” Cordelia said softly, “This time last year, it’s when we got married.”

That was their first meeting. Cordelia had come to that small cabin in the pouring rain, her white wedding dress stained with soil. The old folks in the village had said that people who got married in such weather would not end up happy, but both of them were the happiest.

Zephyr was moved. He inched slowly toward the bed and saw Cordelia’s fair hand that was outside of the blanket.

He held it while Cordelia pulled it back but gave up the struggle when she could not fight the man’s strength, allowing him to hold it.

Zephyr’s palm was warm and big, giving her an exceptional sense of security.

His husky voice came from the dark. “Since we’ve gone back to a year ago, let’s get to know each other again.

“I’m Zephyr Hamerton. So, my family’s kind of rich, but I’m not really ambitious. I just want to stay with my wife and let her take care of me forever.

“Darling,” he said with an affectionate smile. “I don’t want to work. Take care of me when we’re back to Centrolis too, okay?”

Cordelia was silent, but her eyes felt hot. She felt like crying, but the smile on her face bloomed like a ripple. A voice in her had been shouting, ‘Okay! I’ll take care of you. I’ll take care of you even if you don’t go to work.

‘I’ll take care of you forever.’

Cordelia giggled as a drop of tear slid down her cheek.

…

Prior to their departure, Linda hugged Cordelia tightly, reluctant to let go.

Both of them had stuck to each other since they were school girls, their relationship closer than real sisters'. Now that Cordelia was leaving, Linda felt empty. Her eyes were still red when they got to the airport.

“You’ve got to take good care of yourself when you’re there!” Linda held Cordelia’s hands and whispered in her ear, “Don’t be afraid of troubling Zephyr. You were husband and wife for one year. And he looks like he can’t wait to do things for you!”

“Mm, I know.” Cordelia chuckled. “You don’t have to worry about me!”

“How could I not!? Sigh, it’s futile telling you. You won’t go to Zephyr if something does happen anyway! Cordelia, don’t be silly! He was lying to you for a year. He should do it even if he’s to get the moon and stars for you!”
