Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 484

For the sake of the rest of his life, Zephyr must not let Cordelia learn acupuncture from Rowan, no matter what!

He began to divert the topic. "Honey, you were amazing today!"

"What?"

"What you told my uncle. That felt so good!"

Cordelia smiled. It was because Matthew was too much and was hurling accusations recklessly!

After a few interactions, she actually found Henry unproblematic aside from being relatively honest and timid. No one said that honest people should be bullied. She could not stand it.

In addition, she stepped up because it did feel powerless when Kate was defending them alone.

"It's my honor to have seen my wife's cool side again today!"

"And you sound like you've eaten honey today." Cordelia glanced at Zephyr with a smile.

Zephyr rested his head on her shoulder and held her arm with both hands.

"Honey, you saw it too... We have so many snakes at home. It's really hard for me to survive! You've got to protect me well!"

Cordelia really could not stand it anymore and shoved Zephyr away, only for the latter to pull her back.

"Zephyr!" she cried. "Looks like you want your wife to take care of you again?"

The man nodded like a pecking chicken. "Have you forgotten that I need lots of love and care?"

"Well, that's true!"

Zephyr's eyes lit up, and he pinned Cordelia down on the couch with a smirk.

Before Cordelia left the house the next day, it took her a long time in the closet to find a turtleneck top to cover the marks on her neck.

Zephyr was already waiting in the car, but he was not quite happy.

Cordelia had put Ginger in the car too!

Zephyr barely smiled during the drive. He glanced at the fat tabby cat next to him and glared at it from time to time. Finally, he failed to hold it in and asked Cordelia, "Why are you taking it along when we're visiting mom?"

"My mom will like it too!" Cordelia pouted. "I'm busy with work and rarely go back. Carter's staying in his university dorm. My mom's lonely at home!

"Besides, Ginger needs some fresh air outside too. It's not good to keep it just in our house!"

"But..."

But he could not stick to her when the cat was between them! Cordelia also kept petting the cat and not him!

Robert could not help chuckling when he spotted his boss' glower from the rearview mirror as he drove.

Zephyr did not want a son or a daughter, yet Cordelia's attention was still easily stolen away by a cat. He glared at Ginger begrudgingly... Ginger wondered if the man would throw it away one day.

As the couple arrived at the seafront condominium, Xyla was delighted when she saw Ginger and carried it in her arms.

"Is this really a stray?" she asked several times. "But the luster of its fur and the pattern... It really isn't like a regular stray!"

"Maybe it's a purebred." Cordelia smiled. She was clueless about these, but her mother looked like she knew everything.

What Cordelia did not know was that back at the Irwins, they had never lacked purebred animals. She also did not know that her mother was basically like the princess in Princess and the Pea. Even with layers of mattresses, she could still easily notice the tiny pea underneath them.

Some nobility and extravagance were innate they flowed in the blood.

"Can I have Ginger?" Xyla looked at her daughter in anticipation.

Cordelia was reluctant, but Zephyr was thrilled.

"Sure!" He was more than willing.

Cordelia elbowed him and gave him a look.

Despite that, he sounded righteous. "Cordelia, don't be insensitive! Let's let Ginger stay here since mom likes it!"

"You..."

"Mom looks experienced in taking care of cats!"

"Zephyr Hamerton!" Cordelia gritted through her teeth.

"As long as mom likes it, I'll bring her the moon and stars. What's more, a cat?”

Cordelia pouted and stared at him with her big eyes.

Ginger looked like it was enjoying itself. Not only was it basking in the sun, but Xyla was also combing its fur. Life was great.

It must be grumbling about how Zephyr sounded so righteous when he just did not want it to third-wheel him and Cordelia.

"I had a cat before." Xyla grinned happily like she had gone back to her childhood.

She told Zephyr with a smile, "I had it with your mom! We boarded in an international school back then, and we couldn't keep it in the dorm, so Janine and I secretly kept it outside. We needed to go over the wall to feed it daily after school!"

"Was it a tabby too?" Cordelia was curious.

"No." Xyla chuckled. "It was a Siamese. Super cute!"

'A Siamese cat?' Cordelia's eyes lit up.

She remembered that Rowan had a Siamese in his arms back when she met him at the veterinary hospital!

Both adults had the same breed of cat! Cordelia was gleeful-she found another thing they shared in common! This made her more determined to introduce Rowan to her mother.

While Zephyr went to collect the laundry on the balcony, Cordelia went to her mother with a beam and told her softly, "Mom, I know someone who likes cats too!"

"Oh, who is it?" Xyla asked in passing.

"It's..." Cordelia thought about it. It was not like Xyla would know if she told her, so she might as well introduce them when they met.

"It's the uncle who's in the joint hospital project with me. He's really nice and is a skilled doctor. He's also kind... Hmm, he looks handsome too!"

Xyla caught the intention between the lines and turned to Cordelia. "What do you want?"

Cordelia smiled embarrassedly. "Nothing... Just wanted to let you both know each other! You can exchange thoughts about keeping cats when you're free!"

"You!" Xyla poked Cordelia's head. "Trying to set your mother up now? Don't try to look for a partner for me. I don't need it!"

"Mom..."

Cordelia licked her lips and said softly, "I don't mean harm. I just think you're a little lonely, and I can't come back often to accompany you. And I don't want you to stay in the past. You've got to look forward..." Xyla's expression sobered, and she stayed quiet for some time.

Cordelia hugged her lightly, feeling a pang. She kind of regretted saying what she did so rashly. She knew that her mother had been ill before.

"Sorry, mom. I won't bring it up again..."

"I don't blame you." Xyla sighed and forced a smile after a while. "You're right. One should look forward."

Cordelia was astonished. "Mom, you mean you agree?"
