Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 509

Zephyr went home that day, only to find Cordelia getting busy in the kitchen.

He had been so busy with work the whole day that his lunch had been simply a bite before he had started going through several important documents. It was not until everything had ended in the afternoon that he had felt his empty stomach and churning pain.

He had said that he'd had gastritis in the past to get Cordelia's attention, not expecting it to really happen!

The moment Zephyr stepped inside, he smelled the delicious aroma in the house and instantly began starving.

When he saw the girl cooking for him, he smiled even more in contentment.

Ordinary activities and a life like this was what he had liked the most back in Jangasas.

Zephyr put down what he was holding and removed his jacket. He was about to go to the kitchen when Cordelia came out with a plate of braised fish.

"You're back!" The girl walked over to him sunnily.

Zephyr paused. He did not know if it was a man's sixth sense, but he thought her smile was a little off today.

"I gave Aunt Helen the day off." Cordelia served the dishes one after another. There was also soup. Her bright eyes seemed to be smiling. "I made everything tonight. They are all your favorites!" Zephyr smiled and sat at the table.

Cordelia gave him a plate and a bowl of soup. It was pumpkin soup, which he had hated in the past, but he had liked it since meeting her.

She had also made garlic lobster. The braised fish looked amazing as well, totally drool-worthy.

It seemed like it had been a long time since they had been so relaxed.

Zephyr smiled and picked up his plate to extend it forward naturally, waiting for Cordelia to give him the fish eye. She had told him before that the fish eye was meant for the person one loved the most. However, Cordelia did not move. He looked up to see a half-smile on her face...

Zephyr's heart lurched, and he quietly put his plate back down.

"Eat up," Cordelia said softly. "The dishes won't be nice when they go cold."

"Okay." Zephyr still felt that the atmosphere today was strange. He was about to ask why she had not placed anything on his plate, but she beat him to it.

"Oh, Zephyr, do you remember my coworker back in Jangasas?"

"Coworker?" Zephyr's mind began to work quickly again.

"Mm, Annie! You've met her."

"Oh, yeah, I did!" He smiled. "What about her?"

Cordelia said faintly, "Nothing. She's getting married soon."

"Really? Congratulations to her then." Zephyr remembered that Cordelia had been almost hurt by her supervisor, Jesse Ford, and it was Annie who had texted him in time. She was a sensible and quick-witted girl.

Zephyr smiled. He was about to eat when he suddenly heard Cordelia sigh.

"Sigh..."

It was not a loud sound but it made him tense up. He swiftly put his cutlery down and looked at Cordelia nervously. "Cordelia... what happened?"

"Nothing," Cordelia answered unhurriedly. "Just think it's a pity for Annie."

"A pity?"

"Mm, she's going to get married soon but she recently discovered that her boyfriend has someone he can't forget on his mind and he has been keeping it from her!" Zephyr was bewildered.

Cordelia smiled, her gaze playful and sly.

"Zephyr, as a man, what do you think of this?"

"I..." Zephyr licked his lips. This was a trick question.

His eyes went unblinking as he processed what Cordelia had said again, recalling each and every word to understand what he should say.
