Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 454

"But people will talk as you two live together without being married."

Xyla advised softly, "Cordelia, you're a girl, and reputation is important! You didn't know his identity in the past and thought that you had married him. You can't be at fault for staying together. Now that you know and still want to be with him, you should get married sooner!"

"Mom!" Cordelia grinned cheekily. "You're pretty old school!"

"I'm not old school. I want to protect you!" Xyla held her hand. "It's not official or legitimate so long as you aren't married. I'm worried about you being hurt."

Cordelia felt a pinch in her nose. She understood that it was due to the unhappy experience with William in the past that Xyla was exceptionally sensitive to the term legitimate.

She snuggled her mother affectionately. Growing up, she rarely had the chance to act cute and coy with Xyla.

Xyla patted her shoulders with a loving smile. Like many naggy mothers, she would keep nagging about their marriage.

"Alright, I know." Cordelia placated softly. "I'll put the wedding on schedule after I'm done with my busy schedule for this period, okay?"

"Mm, you've got to keep your word!"

"Don't worry!"

Xyla remembered something else and said, "Oh yeah, Cordelia... You and him... I mean, when you're together, is he... Is he nice to you?"

Cordelia was confused listening to her mother.

Xyla was being implicit, so she could not help giggling when she saw her daughter being bewildered.

"I mean, does he do it with you often?"

Cordelia froze before blushing in an instant once she understood it.

"Mom! How could you ask this!?"

"What not to ask about this? I'm your mom. Of course you can talk about it with me!" The education Xyla received had always been modern and open. Sex was never a taboo topic.

"I just want to remind you not to wear yourself out. As for prevention, you two talk about it! Of course, I'd love to have a grandson..."

"Mom!" Cordelia was so close to stomping her foot.

"Mom, I'll get it done for you!" The door opened suddenly to reveal a man walking in with a grin.

The triumph on his face was completely the opposite of how he was usually stern and cold.

Cordelia froze on the spot while Zephyr hugged her and smiled at Xyla.

"Mom, don't worry. You won't just have a grandson. You'll get a granddaughter too!"

Cordelia gave him a hard elbow.

Xyla was beaming widely once she saw her son-in-law and was now over the moon upon hearing what he said.

"Zephyr, you came in time! Come, take a look at my succulents..."

Zephyr raised his brows and smirked at Cordelia.

"I'll go look at mom's succulents with her first," he said softly. "After we go home... let's fulfill her wish!"

Cordelia punched him, and her blush intensified. The man must have been too free recently to think about that all day long!

Liam had changed his mind about Cordelia to a certain extent, inviting her for a visit almost every other day.

Cordelia kept her mother's advice to heart-no matter when it was, a girl should be reserved and composed. Only when she held a high standard would others not look down on her. Those who used to hate her, especially. It was a skill to adjust one's mannerisms to interact with them.

Cordelia had indirectly rejected most of the invitations. At the one tea party she went to, she only exchanged pleasantries with Liam, keeping a clear head and answering smoothly and politely.

Liam brought her up to Clark from time to time. "The girl by Zephyr's side... She's rather wonderful."

Clark grinned. The day had finally come. "Of course she's wonderful! How could she not be when she's someone Mr. Zephyr likes?"

"Are you... saying I have bad foresight indirectly?"

It was because Liam liked Nelly before this.
