Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Zephyr was in a private booth on the top floor of Splendor Dynasty. He found it odd hearing what Kate had to say.

Placing the caviar he had in his hand down, he said with a slight frown, “I didn’t set up an appointment for them to meet.”

“Then what’s the matter with her?”

Zephyr was quiet for a moment. His expression was aloof and burdened after he ended the call.

Josiah and Fredric, who were next to him, exchanged a look and put down their cutlery.

Fredric understood his worry. “Z, I think that even if your mom didn’t like Cordelia, she wouldn’t hate her too much. Something must be up!”

Josiah’s eyes were simply on the delicious dishes before them.

“Josiah, what do you think?”

“Huh?” Josiah jolted. “Uh… I think she didn’t even meet her! She must have said that on purpose to break Z and sis-in-law apart!”

Zephyr shook his head. “My mom isn’t someone like that.”

Before he went on, he noticed a petite figure by the door.

Cordelia came in slowly with a dim expression.

Zephyr’s heart sank. ‘Did she hear what we said just now?’

He carefully held her hand and smiled. “Cordelia, didn’t you say you’d work overtime during noon?”

“Oh, I had to, but the chief said I could hand in the draft later, so I came.”

Fredric changed the topic with a chuckle. “You haven’t eaten, right? You and Z can go ahead. Josiah and I will be making a move first!”

“No!” Josiah protested. “I’m still hungry!”

Fredric glared at him.
