Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 401

Zephyr was astonished. “Mr. Irwin, you’re… minding this too?”

“What? I can’t?” Rowan glared at him. “I’m—”

He was hesitant to speak halfway through his sentence. He coughed. “You two haven’t gotten married, right? What do you think it looks like when you sleep together before you’re married!?”

Zephyr glared at him.

He had no idea what was up with Rowan. He was sometimes nice to him, but he picked on him most of the time. When he was nice to him, though, it was because of Cordelia.

“Zephyr!” Cordelia ran to the front and waved at him excitedly. “Come look, quickly!”

“What is it?”

“This is a mountain spring, right?” She said with a smile, “I see that it’s flowing down from the mountain.”

“This means that there’s fresh water here!” Zephyr smiled as well. He then scanned around and observed carefully, going to a tree.

“What is it?”

“Centrolis has this tree too…” He considered it and said, “This means that we’re not far from Centrolis.

“Josiah and the others should be able to find us here soon.”

“Rowan nodded. “The weather here is similar to Centrolis’, and I’ve seen Centrolis’ map. There are a few small islands by the side that aren’t developed.

“We could very well be on one of those islands!”

Zephyr met his eyes and saw a hint of a smile in them.

The trio grew more confident. As they returned to the cabin, they discussed what they would do while waiting for rescue.

Since they could not tell the time, Cordelia suggested carving a line on the table each passing day.

They had sufficient resources from the yacht, so they dried the sheets on the deck while the sun was out. Other than when it was necessary, they refrained from using electricity.

Cordelia wracked her brain to make food taste better.

Three days slipped by unknowingly…

The night breeze was chilly. Rowan looked afar, sitting on the deck. The moon was quiet and gentle like the water. It had been a long time since he watched the moon like this.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw Zephyr walk over with a blanket.

“It’s chilly at night. This is for you,” he said softly.

Rowan was surprised.

“No need to look at me like this.” Zephyr snorted. “Cordelia asked me to bring it over.”

“Cordelia…”

“Don’t say her name like that!” Zephyr scowled.

Rowan was not angry. He only nodded lightly. A small smile flashed across his face when he took the blanket.

Zephyr sat next to him with two cans of beer.

“It’s not good for your health drinking too much.” Rowan pursed his lips. “And I notice you smoke a lot. You hid the pack of cigarettes found in the cabin, huh?”

Zephyr scowled.

“Never mind, I won’t tell Cordelia.” Rowan smiled. “But watch it.”

“Mm, I know.” Zephyr’s answer was perfunctory.

“What do you know?” Rowan eyed him disdainfully. “You’ll only be able to protect Cordelia when you protect yourself well!”

Zephyr opened a can of beer and looked at the older man with a complex gaze. “Mr. Irwin, why are you so concerned about Cordelia?”

“Hah, you aren’t jealous, are you?” Rowan pressed his lips together. “You don’t think that I have ulterior motives toward her at this age, do you?”
