Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 547

Rowan felt a squeeze in his heart.

"Yes, I know it's too late. I should have taken you and Cordelia away from Jangasas when she was born!"

However, the Irwins had been in chaos back then. Some people in the family had been looking down on him because he had taken over the power. They had been hostile toward him and had tried to chase him out using external sources.

He had been dealing with those troubles while researching new medicine at the same time.

Moreover, he could not let Xyla return at that critical time. If she did, those people would definitely target her. They would use her or might take her and their daughter hostages to force him to do as they said. However, he regretted it now.

He should have brought her back instead of leaving her in Jangasas alone, letting her run into that b*stard, William!

He should have given their children a better life instead of letting Cordelia learn to be walking on eggshells and letting Carter have a hard time in school.

Families should stick together. No matter how hard life was, there was hope as long as they were together.

"Xyla... Can't you give me one more chance?" Rowan asked softly.

Xyla was heartbroken.

She knew everything that he had done for Irwin Pharmaceuticals. He had stopped using the old prescriptions. Instead, he had spent all of his time making new ones.

Although the way he had gotten his power was rather despicable, he never mistreated her family.

Her siblings held a high position in the subsidiary company. He had never troubled them.

He even fed her parents.

After all, the Irwins were the ones at a loss in the grudge from the past generation.

Xyla took a deep breath and wiped her tears. "Let me go, Rowan. I no longer hate you now. Can you stop looking for me? I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace..." "Let me do that with you!" Rowan had a slip of the tongue. "I'll be quiet. I won't talk if you ask me not to talk. I'll be your company!"

"But we can never go back to how we were before."

Her voice was soft, but each word was like a thorn in his skin. It was painful.

"No..." Rowan fell into silence for a moment and rushed over to grab her shoulder. He shoved the company stamp into her hand.

"We can go back. We have time! Xyla, I guarantee you that everything will get better. I'll use the rest of my life to remedy my mistakes..." She pursed her lips, trying her best not to cry.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and an angel-like voice sounded. "Do you feel better now, Uncle Irwin?"

Cordelia opened the door directly and happened to see the two of them close to each other. Rowan even had his hand on her mom's shoulder... Her mom's eyes were red. She seemed to have cried earlier, while Rowan seemed to be comforting her.

No matter what, when they stood together... They were a match made in heaven!

Cordelia was stunned.

She did not expect her mother to be quite a flirt! She flirted with Rowan within a short few days!

Cordelia smiled happily and quickly put down the stuff in her hands. She turned her head to signal Zephyr.

He guessed what had happened in the ward.

Looking at them, Rowan most probably apologized, and Xyla forgave him. They were good now.

"Ahem!" Zephyr faked a cough. Xyla pushed Rowan away and wiped her tears in panic.

"Eh, mom? Why are you blushing?" Cordelia teased her.

Xyla did not blush at first, but she really did after being teased.

The former smiled in joy. "Mom, Uncle Irwin! Seems like you guys are having a good time!”

Xylem said nothing. Rowan stood up straight after hearing that. He tidied up his clothes, looking bright.

"Oh yeah, mom, since you guys are having a good time, I'll just say it." Cordelia smiled, "Uncle Irwin is actually the boyfriend that I wanted to introduce to you!" "What did you say?"

"It's true..." Cordelia showed her tongue. "I saw that you're lonely, so I thought of fixing you with someone suitable... Sigh, if I can be blunt, I want you to get married!" "You damned girl!" Xyla glared at her.

"Forget it. She's just doing this out of kindness!" Rowan was secretly over the moon.

It was better to have a daughter who would fix them up. Unlike that kid Carter who was always drowning himself in the lab. How would he think about his parents' happiness!? Xyla said while grabbing Cordelia's hands, "Why did you come here? Don't you need to work today?"

"I..." Cordelia revealed a mysterious smile and turned her head to look at Zephyr.

He had an alluring look in his eyes. He went forward to grab her shoulder softly. "Tell them."

"I'll do it!" Cordelia's face was filled with joy. "Mom, Uncle Irwin, I have a big announcement! Zephyr and I... are going to get our marriage certificate later in the afternoon!"

"What?" Rowan and Xyla screamed at the same time.

However, they had different expressions.

Her mother was surprised and happy, while her father was surprised and... panicky.

"Is that true, Cordelia, Zen?" Xyla looked at them with excitement. "Amazing, amazing! Get it quickly, and then I'll have a big burden lifted!" She sobbed from the joy as she hugged Cordelia. "I'm so happy!"

Cordelia felt warm inside. "Mom..."

Zephyr called out too. "Mom!"

Rowan stared at him fixedly and puffed his cheeks like a pufferfish.

What was wrong with this kid? Was he not going to marry an heiress?

Did he... get it wrong?

Rowan rolled his eyes while thinking about it many times. He was unwilling. "Are you really marrying Cordelia?"

Zephyr glared at him.

'This guy! He's so annoying.'

However, he was his father-in-law, after all. He would still have to be polite. "Sir, of course, I'm marrying Cordelia."

"Then why are you only getting the certificate instead of holding a wedding ceremony?"

"Because "

Before Zephyr was done, Rowan tackled him.

"Oh, I know! Do the Hamertons think that Cordelia is a cheap bride? Hah, a marriage certificate is less than 10 dollars! What, are you trying to trap her like that? That's all? What-" "Shut it!" Xyla roared fiercely.

The ward became silent instantly.

That did not only make Rowan shut his mouth. Cordelia and Zephyr stood aside, looking at her quietly and not daring to breathe loudly.
