Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

When Zephyr returned to Royal Manor, Cordelia was learning from Helen in the kitchen.

Helen reduced the heat while the soup in the clay pot bubbled. The whole house was aromatic and filled with simple warmth.

“The last step is to add this… and done!” Helen taught Cordelia step by step, and the latter learned seriously.

“That’s all?”

“Yeap!”

“Mm.” Cordelia took a deep breath. “It does smell better with these added.”

“You and Mr. Z can both have some of this soup. Winter’s starting now, and it’s cold and dry. It’s time for some nourishment.”

“Okay,” Cordelia assented with a smile, putting the lid back on the pot and turning the fire off.

Helen was astonished. “Y-You’re not drinking?”

“I’ll wait for him to return and have it together!”

“Didn’t Mr. Z go to the manor today? He probably won’t be back so soon! Just have your portion and leave him his!”

“No way! It isn’t the same eating by myself.” Cordelia smiled. “I want to wait for him!”

The girl’s sweet voice jolted Zephyr, who was outside the kitchen, and he could not help the quirk of his lips.

She was the same back when they were in Jangasas, insisting on waiting for him to be back and have anything good together. At that time, she had been the most worried about him not eating enough, not dressing well enough, or being laughed at by others.

Therefore, she had been working as much as she could to make money and had done everything in her power to give him the best life. She had spent three months’ worth of bonus on him for an expensive suit and emptied her savings to buy him a car…

Even during their hardest time, she had given him 400 dollars for a belt he wanted without hesitation when he asked for it.

He remembered their visit to Regalia Hotel when she received her first paycheck. She had not had much money, but she had ordered him lobster risotto and said with a chuckle, “It’s okay if you don’t work. Your wife will take care of you!”
