Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chapter 720

This stumped Aurelia.

“Why… He doesn’t like it?”

“No!” Cordelia hurried to say, “I’m just curious. He’s my cousin and an award-winning actor with many fans in Centrolis. Why is he an uncle when it comes to you?”

Aurelia looked down slightly with a blush.

She gripped the glass and rubbed it with her finger anxiously, but the corners of her lips were discreetly ticking upward.

Why was he called an uncle? It was because Neil was a man who was mature, stable, and had a cold hint in her first impression, just like… the merciless assassins in mystery novels.

Back then, she genuinely thought he was an uncle she could not approach.

Later, the term of address became her special way of addressing him. She called everyone else by their names. It was only different when it came to him.

“Uncle” put distance between them and avoided suspicions from others.

The feeling was strange. She missed him when she did not see him but was afraid when she did see him, worried that others would see through her, so “uncle” was a way she carefully guarded her meek pride.

Aurelia chuckled.

Cordelia held her hand. She had long seen through everything.
