Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 449

Liam’s study was huge, like a library. The bookshelves were as high as the ceiling and were filled with famous books by experts in various fields.

Even then, an echo could still be heard from each step taken.

Cordelia sat on the couch and grasped the hem of her skirt anxiously. Zephyr intertwined their fingers together lightly and gave her a reassuring smile.

Liam sat at the table in a suit. Although he was old, he looked well and lively. As he scanned Cordelia, his gaze was cryptic and complicated.

“Ms. Cordelia, please have tea.” He was polite to her.

Cordelia nodded lightly and watched how Zephyr did it before she drank the tea. She took a small sip slowly like him.

Liam could see that she was a smart girl. She was not reckless and rash. Even with Zephyr by her side, she knew her manners and knew to keep a distance from him before her elders.

If it were others, they might already be doing what they wanted, knowing they had Zephyr’s support.

Liam wore an unnoticeable smile.

He chatted with Cordelia casually. Whatever he asked, she was able to answer tactfully.

The conversation did not go on for long. When Cordelia left the study, she felt like she was floating. She felt soft and weak as if a tightly coiled string was slackened in an instant.

“Were you that nervous?” Zephyr smiled with an arm around her shoulders. “I can see that grandpa’s happy with you.”

“Really?” Cordelia did not think so.

The elders in a family like this were usually full of themselves and could hardly change their opinion of someone.

“From what I know of him, I think he has accepted you.”

“He didn’t accept me in the past, though!” Cordelia smiled mischievously. “He wanted me to be your mistress!”

“You…” Zephyr glared at her without heat and was going to tickle her.

Cordelia stopped him quickly and shushed him. “Don’t act like this in your house!”
