Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 404

Cordelia went to the deck after her shower.

The sun was right in the center of the sky currently, so it was most probably noon. It was already fall, but it was still quite warm. The deck was toasty from the sun and felt comfortable under the feet.

Cordelia saw Rowan sitting at the bow.

Rowan noticed her as well and turned back to greet her.

“Mr. Irwin.” Cordelia nodded with a smile.

Rowan gestured for her to take a seat beside him.

“Where’s your boyfriend?” he asked her with a smile.

“He’s gone to wash the clothes.” Cordelia pointed at the forest. “By the spring.”

Rowan gave it a thought and went closer to her to ask, “Does he usually do the laundry when you two are home?”

“We have a helper at home, and she usually does the chores.”

Rowan creased his brows. “So, this brat is lazy and doesn’t do anything?”

Cordelia smiled awkwardly. She did not understand why this older man was poking his nose into everything.

Maybe it was because his children were not around him, and he still wanted to have the authority of a father. ‘What a strange old man…’

“Hmm… Actually, Zephyr does quite a lot. Isn’t he washing the clothes now? He doesn’t allow me to touch cold water ever.”

“Oh, that’s good.”

Ever since Rowan met Zephyr, the father-in-law in him had a form in his mind automatically—adding points for every right thing done and subtracting points for every mistake. Until now, Zephyr’s score was negative.
