Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 148

“What’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing,” Cordelia responded softly.

She secretly peeped at him while eating the spaghetti. She pouted, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito. “You’re so accurate with the date…”

What did this man have in his head? How did he know that it was the last day of her period?

She flushed even more now. The way she looked at him was shy and full of blame.

Zephyr was confused. He had no idea what had happened, no matter how he thought about it.

She was just eating spaghetti, so why was she blushing?

He coughed softly and lifted his eyes to look at her. He could not hold back his smile. “Seems like you’ve adapted yourself at the Jenner Group. Did anything good happen?”

Cordelia’s eyes dimmed when she heard that. She put down the utensils lightly.

She recounted what had happened in the past few days, including Yelena stirring trouble with her in the company lobby.

As he listened quietly, he could imagine how lonely and helpless she was in the Jenner Group. Although it was a family business, her situation was much tougher than anyone else’s.

However, she must bear it.

She could not be afraid, nor could she surrender.

Not only that, he would always be by her side.

Cordelia said softly, “Hubby, dad talked to me today. He said… he’s getting me to take over the HR department.”

Zephyr’s eyes lit up.

The HR department was always an important functional department of a company. No one would be put in the position of managing it if they were not trusted.

However, William’s intention was suspicious.

Zephyr smiled, and a hint of slyness flashed through his eyes as he asked with his deep voice, “Did you say yes?”

That came from his heart completely. He had assumed he had married a soft-spoken wife, and never had he thought Cordelia would surprise him over and over again.

She was not a trumpet vine that needed support but a cotton tree that stood tall with him. Her roots grew sturdy underground while her leaves touched the sky.

However, the more she was like that, the more he worried about their future.

Cordelia smiled coquettishly at him. There was some pride in her big, beautiful eyes.

“You realized that you married a trophy now, yes?”

Zephyr smiled and remained silent.

He played with her hair. “Wifey, you’re wasting your talent to be working for the Jenner Group when you’re so smart! Maybe you should be your own boss.”

“I’d love that…” Cordelia sighed and finished the rest of her food. She then lay on the couch while caressing her bloated belly.

Zephyr smiled as he did the dishes, wiped his hands, and saw her silly face lying on the couch. He walked over and pulled her softly into his sturdy embrace.
