Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 811

"Ah!" the person cried out of surprise.

Cordelia ran to the cradle and protected her son with herself while she fought the person with her life. She hit him with her eyes closed, and the man retreated.

Little Zuko, who was in the cradle, was startled awake and wailed.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting!

"Your son's crying, and you're still hitting me!

"Cordelia, it's me!"

"Who!?" Cordelia froze abruptly. Her hands clutching her purse hovered in the air.

The man, who was one head taller than her, curled up with his hands shielding his head, looking pitiful from being beaten up.

The air went silent suddenly…

From the gap between his two arms, the man revealed his face to look at her in terror.

"You… Neil?" Cordelia was shocked.

Neil wore a bitter expression as he pulled a long face.

Cordelia snapped out of the surprise and could care less about him as she twirled around to carry her son and coax him.

A few security guards arrived with electrical batons in their hands, only for Cordelia to explain softly that it was a misunderstanding and dismiss them.

"You've gone over the line…" Neil went to check himself in the bathroom mirror. He had fortunately defended himself, and his face was not hit. Had his face been damaged, how was he supposed to make a living in the entertainment world?

"I didn't know it was you!" Cordelia chuckled apologetically behind him, carrying her son.

The baby room's lighting had always been soft and dim. She did not get a clear look. Moreover, she was scared since none of the service staff was home when she came back.

"Right, why are you here? Where's Zephyr?"

Neil looked at her with a huff. "Your husband asked me to come! He knew that you would spend time with Aunt Xyla at the sanatorium today, and he couldn't free himself as he's helping Carter with the Irwin Group's documents, so he asked me to babysit!"

"Then… where are the nanny and others?"

"Exactly!" Neil widened his eyes. "You have a bunch of nannies and servants at home. Why call for me? I came and saw so many people in the room serving this little master, and I felt like Zephyr's tricking me!"

Cordelia could not help it and giggled.

It was only for show that Zephyr did not care much for their son. He was constantly concerned for the little baby inwardly. He was worried about only the servants being home, so he had sent Neil to babysit.

If Zuko fussed, perhaps there would be some comfort in seeing his Uncle Neil—even when they were not that close.

"But where did all of them go?" Cordelia was bewildered. "The doors were left open when I came in. I thought there were burglars!"

"Isn't today the Floria Festival?" Neil said, "There's a parade on the street, so I let them go have fun."

Cordelia broke out in cold sweat. "You took care of my son alone?"

"What?" Neil side-eyed her. "Your husband took advantage of me being single and got me to babysit, and you're complaining that I'm not a good babysitter?"

"No, no…" Cordelia chuckled dryly, feeling lucky that she had rushed home in time.
