Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Cordelia’s head was tilted. A wash of indifference flashed across her pretty face.

“My decision is… I refuse to,” she said without any hesitation.

The answer was slightly out of Zephyr’s expectations, but he wanted to know what his wife was thinking.

“I grew up in an abnormal family.” Cordelia rested against him and said slowly, “Dad’s nothing more than a noun, mom’s never had a clear mind, and I had to take care of my younger brother. I also had to endure Joanne and Yelena’s bullying and insults. I honestly don’t know what the Jenners have brought me.

“This family has never given me warmth. There’s no need for me to contribute to the Jenners either.” Cordelia looked up at him. “I’m already your wife. I’m Mrs. Grist. I’m no longer related to the Jenners. Moreover, my dad’s intention in asking me to go back isn’t pure. I don’t want to be his chess piece.

“Darling…” Cordelia wrapped her arms around his waist. “I just want the two of us to enjoy our lives without thinking about anything else.”

Zephyr stroked her back. He could not fully empathize with her but understood the psychological trauma it would cause a child growing up in an abnormal family.

The Hamertons looked rich and dandy on the outside, but it was not exactly a normal family. It was even more twisted and dark.

Zephyr did not want Cordelia to be aggrieved, but she had to learn to dance with the wolves. It was the law of survival.

He sighed softly and told her, “Cordelia, I don’t actually think so.”

“What?”

“I can understand that you no longer want anything to do with the Jenners, but you can’t change the fact that you’re tied to them this whole life. It’s a fact that you’re related by blood, and it won’t disappear just because you cut contact with them.”

Cordelia’s bright eyes dimmed abruptly.

“Have you thought about your mom?”

Zephyr’s rough fingers stroked her cheek, his gaze deep
