Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 297

Zephyr was informed that Janine was already back when he returned to Zen Residence. He got changed and went upstairs to greet her.

“Mom, are you happy with the room?”

“Mm, it’s alright.”

Janine had just made herself coffee, and the room wafted with its aroma. She took a sip and scanned around.

The room was spacious and bright. The floor-to-ceiling window faced the mountains, and the room decoration was tasteful. Even a small ornament felt luxurious.

She sat on the soft lamb leather couch.

The place was great, but she felt an inexplicable sense of distance.

She could not help wondering where Xyla was living. With a considerate and caring daughter, the room she was in must feel much warmer than this place…

Zephyr noticed her oddity. “Mom, what’s the matter?”

Janine took a deep breath. Her gaze at him was slightly disappointed.

Zephyr noticed that she seemed to be shaking a little and asked, “Are you cold?”

“Mm.” She tugged her shawl. “I’m not quite used to the weather here after living in Chaiseland for so long.”

“It’s fine. I’ll make sure they adjust your room temperature.”

The answer would be fine in usual times, but Janine had just watched the close-bonded mother and daughter, so it felt impassive in her ears.

“Mom, you wore too little today. Put mine on!” The sweet voice suddenly rang in her ears.

She looked at Zephyr and thought to test him, so she coughed and said in a low voice, “Zephyr, I think I didn’t wear enough…”

“Didn’t wear enough?” Zephyr was astonished as he looked at her five suitcases.

“Put on more clothes if you didn’t wear enough.” His answer was straightforward. “Have you brought enough clothes? I’ll get someone to buy more otherwise.”

It was asking someone to do it again… Janine’s face began to fall.

Her eyes were trained on him. “Zephyr, I said that I didn’t wear enough! I’m not wearing enough right now!”

Zephyr was bewildered. “Then put on more clothes now?”

His mother was starting to look angry. “Do I have clothes with me now?”

Realization struck Zephyr. It seemed his mother did not get to unpack in time. He rang the bell to let the helpers know. “Come up and unpack for my mo—”

Before he finished his sentence, Janine growled, “Zephyr Hamerton!”

Zephyr was stunned. He then heard his mother nag. “Don’t you have a jacket on you? Can’t you take it off and let me wear it!?

“Other kids know how to care for their mother, and you never do! You ask the helpers to do everything. Who’s my son now!?

“Hah, why did I even give birth to a son? Just keeps worrying me and making me angry!”

Janine paced back and forth in the room with her hands propped on her hips.

“People are just doing better… with a good daughter! She doesn’t even complain about going shopping and exhibitions and cares whether she’s cold or warm. She’s just so caring and sensible! I just don’t have that!

“I don’t even have a good daughter-in-law!”

Zephyr was dumbstruck. He stood on the spot as he looked at his mother with a frown, like he was looking at an alien.

The scolding felt absolutely ridiculous.
