Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 858

Alexander invited the Hamerton couple and their child to be his guests at the palace. He also got the best photographer in Southeast Aciatic to take a family photo for them.

Zuko was not quite good at walking and sometimes needed a baby walker, but he liked the royal garden. He flailed his chubby arms on the lawn, gurgling in excitement to greet the butterflies and birds.

Zephyr picked him up for a ride on his shoulders, and the baby shrieked out of the fun he had.

Cordelia's heart lurched watching them, and she wanted to stop Zephyr several times but was held back by Alexander.

"Don't worry. Mr. Hamerton must know what he's doing and won't hurt your son!" He smiled.

Cordelia took a pause before she smiled. Despite what Alexander said, he had asked the palace guards and maid to follow the father and son. Even if Zephyr missed, they could absolutely be able to catch the baby.

Cordelia was grateful as she chortled. "Thank you, Your Highness."

"I just like to see him smile." Alexander's voice was soft. "They're having so much fun together!"

"Alexander…" Cordelia wanted to ask, "Do you like Zephyr a lot?", but she did not manage to get it out of her mouth after some hesitation.

What was there to ask? Alexander had already decided to let this be a secret, so she ought to respect his wish.

Alexander turned to ask, "What's the matter?"

Cordelia smiled. "Nothing, I just think… you're a good person. If you were to become king one day, the people of Southeast Aciatic would be happy."

"Hah, I'd like to be king." Alexander smirked in self-depreciation. "But if the people know what kind of person I am, they might chase me out of the country!"

"Will they chase away someone who's genuinely kind to them?" Cordelia looked at him. "Alexander, people aren't as pedantic and childish as you think. They know what's right and wrong, good and bad. They know who's good to them!

"And I think a person's character matters the most! Everything else can be tolerated as long as one's virtuous and righteous."

Alexander blinked. Subconsciously, he felt that Cordelia must already know something…

Cordelia smiled at him before jogging to her husband and son. Both adults played with their baby, and the photographer captured the moment.

Alexander watched the family of three from afar, feeling soreness in his heart before bliss replaced that. He was happy to see them in bliss.

This was probably what love meant.

After Zuko got tired, he rested against his father's shoulders.

Cordelia walked back to Alexander to dismiss themselves, but he spoke up first. "Don't leave just yet. There's another program!"

"What?"

"Neil said he wanted to host a coming-of-age ceremony for Aurelia." Alexander chuckled. "He said that he celebrated Aurelia's 18th birthday back in Chaiseland, but he owed her a coming-of-age ceremony, so he's borrowing my place to host one today!"

Cordelia giggled. It was no wonder Neil had harassed her early in the morning today, sending photo after photo of outfits to ask her which one looked nice and which one looked attractive to women.

"So don't leave yet. Celebrate Aurelia first!"

Zephyr and Cordelia exchanged a smile and took Zuko to rest first. A while later, they heard merry noises outside.

It was near dusk as the setting sun colored the sky golden and pink. There was an outdoor barbecue in the royal garden. Other than the main characters, Aurelia and Neil, Alexander invited numerous heirs and heiresses from notable families in Southeast Aciactic on their behalf. It quickly turned merry. No one could reject a prince's invitation.

Moreover, the outdoor barbecue was not cooking meat but ways of life.

As the music played, Aurelia appeared before everyone in an intricately embroidered dress, dazzling all of them. Like a loyal knight, Neil slowly brought the princess to the guests.
