Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 913

Alexander's mind turned blank, and his heart pounded. By the time he could react, Zephyr was smiling at him warmly.

The light hug just now represented their friendship, but to Alexander, it was a treasure he would keep in the bottom of his heart forever.

After a momentary stupor, Alexander beamed happily. His steps were lighter as well. He made his way out before turning back to wave at Zephyr again until he completely faded into the dark night.

Zephyr took his time standing in the front yard.

The soft night breeze blew. He took a deep breath and hurried his way back inside. He could not wait to hug his wife and sniff her out.

A shadow flashed in the trees not too far away as a telephoto lens retracted slowly.

…

When Zephyr stepped inside, instead of finding Cordelia, he was greeted with an aroma from the kitchen. He smiled and strode in, hugging the busy woman from the back.

"Yikes!" Cordelia was frightened and swatted the hands on her hips right away.

"Are you a cat? How did you walk so quietly!?"

"Darling," Zephyr called her huskily with his chin perched on her shoulder.

"What?"

He did not say anything, merely smiling and calling her again, "Darling."

"What is it?"

"Darling!"

Cordelia frowned and turned around to place a hand on his forehead. "Are you sick?"

Zephyr chuckled and pulled her into his arms. He just wanted to call her. There was no other reason.

Cordelia smiled. She gave it a thought and answered seriously, "I think Alexander's a nice guy. He didn't try to break us up and protects us however he can. We should be grateful for him."

Zephyr wrapped his arms around her waist with a gentle gaze.

Cordelia added, "And liking someone isn't a sin. To confess it so openly like Alexander did requires immense courage. I'm impressed by him."

"Really?" Zephyr smirked and pinched her nose lightly. "There aren't many who can impress Mrs. Hamerton, huh!"

"Of course! Your wife has a high standard. Regular people can hardly be considered!"

"But there are so many people who like me. Why are you only impressed by Alexander?" Zephyr stroked his chin in feigned confusion. "You couldn't wait to rip Nelly and Ava to shreds when you met them last time."

"Rip them to shreds?" Cordelia froze. "Was I so savage? I reasoned with them nicely!"

Zephyr was rendered speechless. He recalled each time Janine reasoned with him… The mother and daughter-in-law were so similar!
