Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 301

“Hey, Xyla.” Janine suddenly gave it a thought. “If you sell these formulas, I’m afraid they’ll be more than invaluable, right? Ha, it seems like Rowan isn’t entirely atrocious. He has given you a way out!”

She quickly calculated in her mind. The profit generated in the medicinal drug industry was immeasurable.

“Surprise, surprise, Xyla. What you have is more valuable than the Baker Group!”

“Nonsense!” Xyla stuffed her mouth with cakes. “I’m not selling these!”

“You…” Janine rolled her eyes. “You’re just so stubborn! I don’t even know how much my daughter- in-law’s suffered with you…”

“What daughter-in-law?” Xyla was stunned.

“You forgot?” Janine said seriously, “We agreed back then. If you have a daughter and I have a son, we’ll become in-laws!”

“No way! My daughter’s taken!”

Disappointment flashed in Janine’s eyes. “She’s… married?”

“Not yet. But soon!”

“It doesn’t count when she’s not married yet!” Janine was worked up again.

Xyla looked at her up and down disapprovingly and rolled her eyes back at her. “What kind of person are you to wreck someone’s marriage? I’m telling you, I’m very happy with my son-in-law. I won’t make Cordelia break up with him!”

“I’m sure you’ll be happier when you meet my son!”

“That’s for the future.” Xyla suddenly put on a serious face. “For now, don’t tell anyone about me. Even Cordelia doesn’t know who I am, so… I don’t want others finding out either.”

Janine nodded. “Mm, I understand.”

The Irwins might be under the impression that Xyla was already dead. For years, Rowan had also been running the family business very well. If Xyla appeared again, it might cause trouble. People in the family with ulterior motives might utilize it, and the loss would be uncalled for.

“But don’t blame me for being nosy.” Janine sighed. “I still think that the Irwins are yours. When the time’s right, you should go back with your children and get back what’s yours.”

“There’s no need…” Xyla smiled. “I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace. I’m fine as long as I’m around my kids.”

“Speaking of which…” Janine refused to give up. “You’re really not considering my son?”

Xyla frowned and gave her a dirty look. She then pursed her lips and went to collect the dry laundry on the balcony.

Janine began to murmur behind her like a broken record, “Come on, my son’s awesome, definitely better than your son-in-law! Our princess is precious. She can’t just simply get married! She has to marry someone outstanding too, right? Xyla, I’m talking to you!”

…

Cordelia sat by the grocery store exit with her phone and pursed her lips from time to time out of boredom.

The big lobster in her shopping bag was spitting bubbles as if it was bored like her as well.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

She saw that the lobster was fresh and cheap and thought she would hurry home and prepare it after buying it. It was unexpected that her mother and best friend would chat so much that no one called her to go back, even when it was almost noon.

Cordelia pressed her lips together. Her pretty eyes flitted around before she wore a mischievous grin.

She called a certain someone, and a deep voice greeted her from the other end of the line after a few moments.

“Yes?”

She smiled languidly and asked sweetly, “Can’t I call you if there’s nothing?”
