Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1378

"Isn't it great being young?"

"They're all a bunch of kids." Zephyr looked at his wife with an indulgent gaze. "Our age is better!"

"I'm really grateful that I've had you by my side throughout these years." Cordelia held his hand, gently leaning on his shoulder. "Now that Zuko and Pammy have found happiness, we just need a grandchild!"

"Well... I want a granddaughter."

Having a grandson would be nice, but Zephyr especially wanted a cute little granddaughter. He could imagine himself and Cordelia taking their well-dressed granddaughter, who looked like a princess, out in public. They would surely be the most fashionable grandparents!

"Alright, a granddaughter!" Cordelia looked at him helplessly, then furrowed her brow slightly. "Even Chris and Lena are together now, but Toph..."

"What about Toph?"

Cordelia hesitated and muttered, "Don't you think there's something off about Toph's recent relationship? It feels a bit stifling."

"You mean..." Zephyr had noticed it too, but maybe because he was older, he didn't want to think negatively.

"Yes." Cordelia nodded with a trace of concern in her eyes. "I always feel that Renee's changed. Ever since her mother passed away, she's been caught in her own turmoil. If things continue like this, I'm afraid Toph might suffer!"

Zephyr looked at her silently.

Cordelia pursed her lips and asked softly, "Darling, am I selfish? I only think about our child..."

"Silly goose, that's a mother's instinct!" Zephyr embraced her, gently caressing her shoulder. "It's just that Renee's life has been so rocky. If we mistreat her, it won't be right.

"But we can't let her hurt our child just because of her difficult background." Zephyr's gaze was deep. "We'll have to talk to Nicholas and Linda about this."

Cordelia's birthday party was grand yet warm. Besides the massive aerial projection, Zephyr also gave her an invaluable ruby.

Cordelia disliked extravagance, so she only invited close friends and family to the event, those with whom she regularly stayed in touch.

In the past, gatherings were lively with friends and family, each bringing their young children. But now, those children had grown up, and the friends and family had reached middle age. These gatherings had transformed into occasions for reminiscing about the past and discussing life.

"Oh? Why are your hands empty again?" Arya glanced at her, then immediately had someone fetch her own white handbag.

"No, Ms. Bayer, how could I—"

"There's no need to be so polite!" Arya handed her the handbag. "This outfit looks great with this bag!"

Lena wanted to decline, but Arya pouted, pretending to be upset. "You don't have to feel bad about it! I love seeing beautiful things paired with beautiful people! Since this bag suits you so well, you should take it! After all, I doubt even Chris could find something so suitable."

"That's right." Chris grinned. "Arya is one of us. No need to be so polite!"

Lena's heart warmed. She looked at Arya and accepted the offer. She would remember this favor, reminding herself to repay it double-fold in the future.

Not far away, Toph was chatting with friends, and Renee was by his side.

Suddenly, Renee turned and saw the bag in Lena's hand. She was surprised and quickly moved her handbag out of sight.

These two bags were actually the same!
