Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 446

“In the past, I thought that it would be fine as long as Nelly didn’t hurt my mom. I didn’t have many days left to live anyway, so I’d protect my mom like this.

“But Nelly became worse after that, so I kept my guard up. I sneaked to get my injuries checked each time I went to the hospital, and later, I managed to get the DNA test report.

“Then that night…” Kelly’s voice grew softer with a hint of a smile. “I met someone who made me make up my mind.”

Cordelia knew that it was Josiah.

If it were not for that night, Kelly would not have been so eager to seek justice for herself. It was because she had met Josiah that a ray of light shone into the darkness that was her life and allowed her to keep going unwaveringly.

“It’s just because I met him,” Kelly said softly. “That I want the whole world to know about my existence. I want to… stand properly next to him.”

Cordelia was moved, feeling a pinch on her nose.

“Josiah won’t let you down.” She looked into Kelly’s eyes. “Kelly, you’ve made the right choice!”

Kelly grinned. Her smile under the sunlight was the prettiest it had bloomed in over 20 years of her life.

After what happened, Liam requested to meet Cordelia.

“Don’t go if you don’t want to go. I’ll talk to grandpa.” Zephyr spoke softly next to Cordelia’s ear as he kept her in his embrace.

Cordelia was peeling an orange and pulled a piece to stuff it into the man’s mouth.

The sweet and sour tanginess exploded on the tip of Zephyr’s tongue and felt incredibly refreshing. He opened his mouth to ask for a second piece when Cordelia stopped.

He stayed frozen with his mouth open for a few seconds before closing it slowly and said, “Whatever your decision is, you mustn’t suffer any grievance first!”

Cordelia mulled over it and chuckled.

“How’s meeting your grandfather a grievance?”
