Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 508

Cordelia was puzzled while listening to it.

To be frank, it was just three men hanging out at a bar and chatting while drinking. It did not seem like there was anything wrong with it.

“Linda, did you… hear right?” Cordelia knew that Linda was a short-tempered person. “How do you know that it’s Zephyr who was longing for that person?”

“I heard it myself!”

“But bars can be so noisy. Could you have heard this wrong?”

“Then… Then I’ll tell you everything I heard!”

Linda told her everything that had happened.

Anyway, the actual situation was simple…

The men had gone into the booth and opened a bottle of whisky as Josiah had cried, “Guys, Frederic’s unforgettable woman’s back, you know?”

Instead, Linda had heard: “The unforgettable woman’s back, you know?”

“Gosh, of all times, it had to be now! I was going to discuss with Z how we could set up Frederic and Trinity!”

Linda’s version was: “Gosh, now of all times… with Z… set up…”

“This has to be kept a secret. Do not disclose it to anyone, okay? Anything else has to be planned properly.”

Linda had heard: “This has to be kept a secret… Anything else—planned properly…”

Linda told Cordelia everything. She had only heard half of it, but Cordelia’s heart clenched.

Her mother’s words rang in her ears like a curse. “You’ve got to hold on to Zephyr. What if he has some childhood sweetheart?”

Was this the childhood sweetheart?

Cordelia suddenly recalled that when she had mentioned that Carter was already 16 years old back in Jangasas, Zephyr had proudly said that he had already been something at that age—he had then stopped talking about it abruptly.

She had suspected back then that he had already met his first love at that age or that he had already been dating. Were her suspicions coming to life?

“Cordelia—Cordelia?” Linda was anxious when the line was silent for some time.

“Cordelia, are you okay? Calm down. Nicholas is working overtime in the office today. I’ll interrogate him properly when he comes back!”

“No need,” Cordelia replied softly. “Don’t put Nicholas in a tough spot!”

“How’s it a tough spot?”

“Think about it. He always brings you, and Zephyr always brings me whenever we hang out. Since they’re meeting alone, this means that they had some things to talk about among them men. They have their secrets to keep too!”

“Cordelia!”

“Alright.” Cordelia smiled. “Just pretend that you have no idea and don’t make a big show of it. I have my ways to handle Zephyr!”

“Really?” Linda was placated. “Will you be alright on your own?”

“Yes.” Cordelia’s voice was soft but determined. “It’s just the one that got away, right? Even if he has one, I am currently the one by his side, not that woman! If he had to choose, he wouldn’t choose her. I trust him in this!”

“Mm!” Linda smiled as well. “Cordelia, I think Zephyr’s a dependable man too. It’s good that you trust him. But you’ve got to keep your guard up! Zephyr has no ill thoughts, but those women are out there waiting!”

“I know.”

“I’ll definitely help you!” Linda hung up with a smile.

Cordelia looked up into the sky while sitting in the front yard, all sorts of thoughts flashing in her head.
