Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 476

The two of them stopped at the same time. They stared blankly at where the voice came from.

Cordelia stood aside and looked at them in shock, with her eyes widened.

Although Rowan was being held, he was obviously winning. There seemed to be something in his hand…

He instantly snapped back to his senses and hid the needle in his sleeve!

“Cordelia?” Zephyr was stunned. Subsequently, he showcased his acting skills by covering where his aorta was on his neck. He frowned and looked like he was in pain.

“What happened!?” Cordelia was shocked. She quickly went over to check on him.

“I’m hurting a little bit…” He looked at her. “And I’m dizzy.”

“Sir!?” Robert’s face turned pale. “Don’t scare me, sir. I was pulling you hard. Mr. Irwin didn’t touch you—”

“Ahem!” Zephyr coughed hard and glared fiercely at Robert.

Only then did the latter come to his senses and shut up immediately.

Fortunately, his cough masked what Robert said in the end.

Cordelia became nervous now. She looked left and right at his face and kept asking where he hurt himself. She would turn her head to look at Rowan every now and then.

Rage filled his eyes. He had lost the warmth he usually had.

“You b*stard!” Rowan was mad. “Are you putting up an act in front of Cordelia? Sure, act all you want!”

He took out the needle again and lifted it over his head. He pretended to poke him.

Cordelia saw it clearly now. She took a step forward to protect Zephyr behind her.

She stared at Rowan. Her face was serious, and her stance was powerful.

“Cordelia…”

“What are you doing, Mr. Irwin!?”

“Don’t believe him. He’s lying to you!”

“What are you holding?” Cordelia enunciated. “I heard you’re an expert in acupuncture. I can’t believe you’re using the needle to hurt someone today!”

Rowan widened his eyes. His lips moved, but he could not say a word.

He could only watch her with Zephyr standing together. Her eyes were filled with that man, worried that he would be hurt.

Charlie released a heavy sigh. He was not sure whether to laugh or cry. “Mr. Z’s acting skills are even better than Neil’s!

“You’re too impulsive, sir. If I didn’t hold you just now…”

Rowan forced a smile. He was laughing at himself.

Initially, he finally mustered his courage to look for Janine today. He wanted to shamelessly ask for a favor so that he could meet Xyla. He wanted to acknowledge Cordelia as his daughter.

Now it seemed unnecessary.

He shook his head and turned to leave.

Zephyr was initially proud, but he suddenly felt a squeeze in his heart when he saw Rowan’s sad and slightly hunched back as he staggered out of the building alone.

Cordelia was still checking carefully whether he was hurt.

He grabbed her hand and paused to tell her, “I’m alright.”

“What’s wrong with Uncle Irwin today? Did you guys fight?”

Zephyr looked at the door. Rowan was long gone.

Now that Cordelia cared for him and leaned in his embrace like a little girl, he was no longer mad.

Instead, he began to pity Rowan.

If he were to put himself in his shoes—if his daughter protected his son-in-law—he would feel terrible too.

“Zen? Zen!” Cordelia was getting worried to see him being absent-minded. “What’s wrong? Where did he poke you just now!?”

Zephyr looked at her and said something absurd, “Cordelia, let’s not have daughters in the future!”
