Married a Secret Billionaire
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!"

"Huh?" She was confused.

"Let's not have daughters in the future." His tone was even more determined now.

Cordelia took a deep breath and looked at him a few times, thinking he was ridiculous. She removed her hands from his.

Rowan must have poked the needle in his head!

"You said we shouldn't have sons in the future!" She was clearly annoyed.

Yes, they should not have sons! That boy from his dream was demanding, and he was fighting for his wife with him. Why would he want a monkey like that? Thus, he kept nodding. "Mm-hmm, no sons!"

"So, no sons and no daughters!" Cordelia crossed her arms. "So, in the end, you don't want kids, right?"

What!?

Zephyr had learned his lesson. He would never bring troubles upon himself again. He kept shaking his head to deny it.

Cordelia looked at him. She was quite irritated and turned around to go to her office.

He was chasing after her with a fawning look on his face.

"Wifey..."

"Don't pull me!"

He insisted on locking his fingers with hers shamelessly. "We'd always walk like this!"

"Not today!" Cordelia glared at him.

Although she was still mad, he saw a smile in her eyes.

Her lady was actually easy to console.

Zephyr was soft-heartened. He grabbed her shoulders. After fighting for a little bit, she finally leaned in his arms like a good girl.

His eyes were filled with affection as he whispered into her ear, "Wifey, can I... sleep in the room tonight?"

"I see you're getting comfortable with Ginger on the couch!"

"No!" Zephyr objected. That thing had hair all over. Given that he was a clean freak, he had been close to collapsing the past few days.

"Wifey, why don't I return you the black card... Can I sleep in the room if I pay you?"

Cordelia nodded. "Sure, you'll lose your allowance from now on!"

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

He could sleep on the couch and could tolerate the cat hair, but he was determined to have his allowance!

Cordelia could not help but laugh out loud when she saw his face.

"Okay, I'll stop pulling your leg!" she said. "But stop following me. I'll come down after I make some arrangements in the office. Then we'll go to your place." "My place?" He was stunned. "Did grandpa ask you to go to the manor again?"

"Not him. It was Zennie!"

Zephyr just recalled that Zennie had been discharged from the hospital two days ago.

Aunt Cloud had called yesterday, asking him to bring Cordelia home for a meal.

However, he forgot about it since he was mad at Rowan.

As the brother, he forgot about his sister. That was terrible.

It was fortunate that he had Cordelia...

He looked at her gently and played with her long hair with his fingers.

"Okay, go do your thing. I'll get people to prepare some gifts. Then we'll go home to celebrate Zennie's freedom!"

Cordelia smiled. She returned after turning around and took two steps out. She tipped her toes and kissed between his eyebrows. Zephyr was resurrected instantly. The suppressive fog that was lingering around him the past few days was washed away by that kiss.
