Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 250

Cordelia was stunned as she stared at her phone screen.

A gentle, smiling face appeared on the screen when she accepted the video call.

“What are you doing?”

She said nothing and turned off her camera. Zephyr did not mind that as he remained smiling at her. His deep voice was electric.

“I’m taking a stroll in the courtyard.”

Cordelia was stunned again. She looked at the screen. The courtyard was massive, and she could see that it was well-maintained, even if it was dark.

There were mountains of different heights and sophisticated buildings behind him. She could hear water flowing from the waterfall every now and then.

‘So, this is where he grew up…’

It was heaven and earth compared to hers.

Cordelia suddenly felt self-abased. She sat on the window while squeezing the cushion beneath, feeling uneasy.

Zephyr did not hear her voice for a long time while the screen was turned off, yet he felt good. The reason being she did not turn off the phone—she was still there. He could feel her breathing and heartbeat through the screen.

He was happy just like that.

Zephyr chuckled. “Cordelia, how’s the weather in Jangasas? Do you see the stars?”

Cordelia lifted her head and looked. Jangasas had been gloomy these days. The night sky was unclear, and all she could see were clouds.

“Look here.” He lifted his phone to point at the sky. The stars filled the sky, and the night was stunning. “It’s beautiful tonight. There are so many stars!”

She could not see clearly. She chuckled as this man was quite childish.

“Is it… cold over there?” she asked softly.

Zephyr was stunned. He then continued to speak while smiling. “It’s okay. It is chilly when it’s late.”

“I see that you’re wearing something thin. Don’t catch a cold.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Mm-hmm!” He nodded at the screen.

“I can’t see those stars.” She smiled. “But I can feel how beautiful the night sky is.”

Zephyr sat somewhere while looking at the stars. “Cordelia, I thought about the ‘Little Prince’…”

“What?”

“The little prince fell in love with a rose.”

Cordelia looked down and said nothing.

“Do you remember this?” He lowered his voice. “My star will be just one of the stars, for you”.

Her heart was pounding, and her earlobes flushed.

“Cordelia… To me now, the sky full of stars is all you.”

Cordelia felt warm on her cheeks. She said nothing, but she felt warmth surging from her heart. She could not help but smile.

“What’s wrong, sis?” A voice suddenly came.

Cordelia screamed from the scare and almost dropped her phone. Zephyr felt his heart squeeze, and he heard Carter’s loud voice.

“Are you not feeling well, sis? Your cheeks are so red!”

“Okay, stop it!” Cordelia scolded.

“You’re on a video call? With brother-in-law? Why aren’t you speaking?!”

“Get out, Carter!”

“Where do you want me to go? We’re in the living room…”

Zephyr heard chaos, it sounded like pillows were being tossed, and Carter was begging.

“Sis, I’m just here to get water… How did I make you mad? Ugh!

“Save me, Zen!”

Carter grabbed the phone swiftly and turned on the camera immediately.

A happy young man’s face appeared on Zephyr’s screen.

“Zen, why haven’t you visited my sister the past few days?” Carter chuckled. “I have good news!”
