Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 318

“It really isn’t easy to be Mr. Z Hamerton’s wife!” Cordelia grinned at him playfully.

It was lonely at the top. Zephyr was high in status, and all his family glory was focused on him—that also meant that all the resentment and hostility were on him.

Those in the Hamertons did not dare lay a finger on him, so they would naturally shift their target to the people around him.

“I can’t put myself in danger.” Cordelia looked into his eyes. “And I can’t allow you to be distracted because of me.

“Only when I’m strong and able to protect myself that I won’t burden you and, instead, become the last and your most secure line of defense.”

“Cordelia…” Zephyr had mixed feelings.

He knew that his woman was smart and strong. She was no weak pushover bunny.

He was great, and she was decent—she could stand with him. This was the best for them. Being parallel and on par with each other was the best version of love.

“Say…” Josiah approached them. “Are you two staying here or not?

“Never mind, stop stalling! I’ll decide for you two. Stay here tonight! Or all my effort will be wasted!”

“What?” Cordelia looked at him curiously. “What effort of yours?”

Josiah chuckled and scratched his head.

“Why don’t I show you two around?”

The couple explored the mansion with him.

Josiah was in a suit and tie with leather shoes and a folder. His passionate introduction made him look like an excellent property sales agent.

Zephyr smiled. They had grown up together, and he had never seen the man so serious.

“Your house is my first sale!” Josiah tugged his tie proudly. “I must make sure my service is top-notch! Look here please…”

Cordelia followed his hand and could not help widening her eyes.

“Alright, okay, I’m out!” Josiah cackled. “Can’t disturb your romantic time together, I understand. But keep that photo. I made it myself. It’s special!”

“Out!”

“Yeah, yeah. Why are you being so mean?” Josiah was clueless. “Oh yeah, Z, don’t be skeptical about these! The old woman is quite effective. A lot of people go to her for fortune telling!”

“What old woman?”

“Around your family’s hot spring hotel.” Josiah said, “There’s a building nearby, and the old woman’s often there to tell one’s fortune!”

Zephyr furrowed his brows.

Cordelia went to one of the charms. It was a yellow drawstring bag with a charm in it and a red string bracelet.

“Zephyr, look!” Cordelia acted like she had discovered a new continent. “This bracelet… Why is it exactly the same as ours?”
