Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 257

Cordelia had mixed feelings. Her hands gripped the blanket tighter.

She had been seriously considering her relationship with Zephyr during this time and recalled what the old female fortune teller they had met outside the hotel said—“He’s your husband within three meters but not anymore outside of that.”

She suddenly felt choked. That old woman had said that they would separate sooner or later…

She glanced at Zephyr and saw the red string that was still tied around his wrist with the dim light. She had laughed at him for believing that back then, but he was not someone like that.

He had chosen to believe it because he was too scared of losing her.

Cordelia took a deep breath. She was the same. She was scared of not having him and losing him in her life.

If life must separate them in those few meters, then she would fight with her all to walk into that damned distance!

She slowly popped her head out of her duvet and said, as soft as the night, “Zephyr.”

Zephyr jolted and perked his ears to listen but dared not turn around, so he kept the stiff position.

“I’ll… most probably move to Centrolis in a few days.”

“What?”

Cordelia chortled. “Your ears aren’t functioning anymore?”

Zephyr pinched himself to make sure that he was not dreaming and abruptly got up and stared at her.

“Really?”

“Mm…” She hummed in a low tone. “Carter’s going to university, and mom wants to live somewhere different, so we’ve decided to move to Centrolis.”

He immediately wanted to say that he would take care of everything, but it was as if Cordelia had seen through him and said first, “Leave this alone. I’ve found us somewhere to live and sent a few resumes out. Some companies should be asking me to attend interviews soon.”

“Cordelia—” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Her voice slowly went softer. “We’re just going to live in Centrolis.”

Zephyr understood what she meant. She was just taking her mother to live somewhere different, and it was a coincidence that Carter got into the University of Centrolis.

These had nothing to do with him. She was not going to Centrolis because of him.

Zephyr was a little down, but he smiled shortly. At least they managed to close in on their distance. She was willing to live in the same city as him.

As long as they were together, he could take care of and protect her.

Cordelia called for him again, and he answered instinctively, “Yes, honey?”

Cordelia blushed in the shadows and said softly, “Give me your phone.”

“Huh?” Zephyr froze. Was his wife going to check what he had been up to? In that case, it proved that he was still in her heart…

Delighted and surprised, he quickly passed his phone to her and told her that the password was her birthday. He then adjusted to a comfortable position and lay down, cushioning his head on his arms

and smiling happily as he watched her go through his phone.

The screen illuminated her face and bounced off her shiny eyes. It also shone her tender and endearing look into his heart.

“Uh…” He coughed. “Don’t just look at the texts. Check the emails and call history too. My frequent contacts are my trusted subordinates in Centrolis. All men! Then it’s Seth, Carter— Oh, and Nicholas, he—”

“Here you go.” Before he finished, Cordelia returned his phone to him.

Zephyr froze. ‘So fast?’

Cordelia’s voice was barely audible. “I didn’t go through your phone.”

“Then what were you doing?”

She pointed at the screen, and he realized that the date had changed.
