Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 369

Nelly looked toward that direction discreetly as well and discovered that he was actually staring at Cordelia!

She was shocked but did not show it, merely asking, “Mr. Irwin, the auction’s starting. Which piece are you going to bid for?”

Rowan’s brows were furrowed lightly. His mind had long gone to Cordelia.

As he looked at her from afar and watched how a man kept her in his arms like a treasure and how she smiled that even her dimples oozed happiness… he suddenly felt a pinch on his nose. A sob was lodged in his throat.

She really looked a lot like Xyla. Yet, the cool brilliance from her eyes looked so much like his.

Rowan smiled and felt sullen. He had promised Xyla that he would never disrupt their lives. Those formulas had severed all their relationships. The moment Xyla left Southeast Aciatic, they were strangers to each other.

Rowan’s fingers on the wine glass tightened, and his joints turned white from the exertion.

“Mr. Irwin, what’s the matter?”

“Hmm?” He snapped out of his thoughts and met Nelly’s questioning gaze.

“Oh, nothing.”

“Heh, did you have eyes on a pretty girl?” Nelly asked semi-jokingly. “That girl’s off limits!”

“What are you talking about?” Rowan furrowed his brows.

“Weren’t you looking at Cordelia Jenner just now?”

Rowan jolted. ‘Cordelia Jenner is her name…’

Back then, Xyla had lied about the child being William Jenner’s in order to survive in the Jenners. That was why their daughter’s last name was Jenner.

Rowan tightened his fist, his nails stabbing into his palms.

“Ms. Tanner.” He looked at Nelly. “What were you saying about Cordelia Jenner just now?”
