Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 471

Although Liam looked like he had accepted Cordelia now, Zephyr knew him too well. It was just his delaying tactic. If there was an opportunity, Liam would still look for a fiancee who was easy to control from a family that was influential for him.

If Cordelia had the Irwins behind her, Liam would have something to watch out for.

Zephyr got up and left. He already knew what to do about the matter, but his mother was right about something—the important thing was Cordelia’s feelings.

…

When Zephyr arrived home later, Cordelia was already in bed. He took a shower and got changed quietly before slipping under the blanket and hugging her.

As Cordelia felt his warm hands, she instinctively snuggled closer to him. Zephyr’s stretched arms circled her just nicely, and he pushed himself closer to kiss her forehead.

Cordelia opened her eyes groggily and smiled when she saw him.

“You’re back…”

His voice was deep. “Sorry to wake you up.”

“No.” Cordelia cuddled him. “I wanted to wait for you and sleep together anyway.”

“Cordelia…” Zephyr probed after a pause. “I went to the Bayers today.”

“Oh.”

“There’s a little girl in his family celebrating her birthday, and I went to send a present.”

Cordelia was obviously not interested in it, so she listened to him with her eyes closed and a small smile.

“You know, the Bayers start talking early, but this kid started talking late. She could only say papa at 12 months old.”

“Hmm… It’s not exactly late,” Cordelia said with a smile. “Wealthy folks speak late. The child might be very successful in the future!”
