Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

“Oh, nothing.” Xyla’s voice was calm. “Just sighing about how time flies. One should really take care of their health when they get older.”

“Mom…” Cordelia bit her lips. The question was on the verge of her lips, and she asked in resolution after a long time, “Have you and Uncle Irwin met?”

Xyla froze before nodding lightly. “Yes.”

“What a coincidence!” Cordelia beamed at her in disbelief. “Do you know that he’s the one I’ve been intending to introduce to you? Uncle Irwin also has a Siamese cat, and I wanted you to meet him with Ginger the last time!”

Janine coughed while Xyla remained silent. Zephyr kept Cordelia’s hand tightly in his.

Cordelia was baffled for a moment, sharply noticing that these people looked off, but she was unable to tell what was wrong in particular.

Janine was meticulous. She knew that Cordelia was smart and would connect the dots when she went back and thought about it. Xyla would not be able to keep it a secret despite her intention. She might as well kill the topic right now.

She smiled and went up to touch Cordelia’s smiling face. “Cordelia, didn’t your mom fall at home when she was alone two days ago? I was thinking that you and Carter aren’t usually by her side, and she’s a little lonely, so—”

“So you think Uncle Irwin’s a good match too, right?” Cordelia was delighted.

“Huh?” Janine blinked.

What she wanted to say was that “So you should hire a helper to take care of your mom at home!”

Unfortunately, Cordelia’s innocent and hopeful grin made it hard for her to speak her mind.

Rowan woke up groggily in the hospital ward. His originally good-looking face was so swollen that his eyes were mere slits. Due to the swelling, he could only make mewls and gurgling sounds when he opened his mouth, unable to speak a sentence.

Cordelia entered silently. When she saw his state, she felt bad for him but could not help the urge to laugh.

“Uncle Irwin.” She sat by the bed, her gentle smile like the warm sun that shone right into Rowan’s heart.

The others came in as well.
