Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 473

This was completely different from their usual chats. Zephyr would never ramble about these to her!

Therefore, there were only two possibilities in regard to his unusual behavior.

First, he was indirectly blaming her for not giving him a child. Second, was he having thoughts about... abandoning her?

Cordelia stopped what she was doing abruptly. She had dove right into this train of thought, and her tears welled up right away with the pang she felt.

"Cordelia... Darling!" Zephyr panicked. "I don't mean it like that. You've misunderstood me!"

"Don't touch me!" Cordelia cried and picked up his pillow to throw it outside.

Zephyr put himself in front of her frantically and wanted to use the trick Nicholas had taught him. Before he was able to get on his knees, though, Cordelia had shoved him out of the door alongside a blanket! Zephyr patted the bedroom door and finally understood what the idiom 'a cat on a hot tin roof' meant as well as 'shooting himself in the foot'. Had he turned stupid after just a meal with Josiah? Why was he speaking on Rowan's behalf!?

There was no sound from the bedroom after a long time. It seemed that Cordelia was not going to open the door for him tonight.

Zephyr did not go to the guest room but curled up on the couch, hugging the blanket. The couch was by the window, and he could see Ginger, which was freezing in the cold outside from where he was. He opened a crack in the door, and Ginger scurried inside. Seeing that Zephyr did not chase it out, it hopped onto the couch and snuggled into his blanket.

"Meow!"

Zephyr lay down and gently patted its head.

"Ginger, your mom's got a huge temper," he murmured.

"Meow..."

"I remember that she was really gentle in the past. Why's she getting fiercer now?"

"Meow!"

"Are all women so unreasonable?"

This time, Ginger did not reply but looked toward a particular direction with a ducked head. Zephyr suddenly had a bad feeling about it. He followed where Ginger was looking too...

Cordelia stood at the stairs looking at him coldly with a cashmere blanket in her hands.

The weather forecast said that it would get colder tonight, and while she was angry in their room, she could not bear that Zephyr only had a thin throw blanket. Thus, she got another blanket for him-only to come downstairs and hear what he said...

Cordelia smiled instead of showing her anger, and Zephyr winced. The next second, a blanket flew from the top and covered him right away.

Cordelia went upstairs back to the room and slammed the door shut.

Zephyr's heart dropped all the way down as well, wallowing in regret. His phone rang at the same time.

"Hello, Z. You haven't slept, right?" The voice on the line was excited. "I found another famous social-media restaurant and want to take Kelly there... Come with sis-in-law too?"

Zephyr gnashed his teeth and roared suddenly after a few seconds of silence, "Don't ask me to eat with you from now on!"

He was turning dumb because of it!

Zephyr hung up after the roar, leaving a befuddled Josiah on the other end of the line, wondering if he had offended him again.
