Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Cordelia was rendered speechless. “I said us!

“Not just to me and you. He’s also nice to Neil and even Aurelia!

“Before I got to know him, I thought that all the royals were high and mighty. Alexander changed my view. He’s

down to earth.

“Darling, why do you think that’s the case?”

Why? His love for a person extended to people around that person!

Alexander was only looking out for the group around Cordelia because of her! Hah, an unexpected romantic!

Zephyr took a deep breath. His fingers on the cutlery clenched, his knuckles turning white. There was no change in

his expression, though, only rolling currents underneath his calm eyes.

“Maybe he wants to get the Irwins on his side.” He smiled. “The Irwins are significant in Southeast Aciatic and are

relatives to the Harrises. Getting you on his side gives him a higher chance of inheriting the throne.”

“Then why does Victoria—”

“This is where Alexander’s brilliant!” Zephyr looked aloof. “Victoria’s arrogant and domineering, but he’s easy to

approach. Think about it. What king do the people of Southeast Aciatic hope to have?

“He might not be genuinely nice to you. People like this have motives in everything they do.

“The throne is his motive.

“My silly wife.” Zephyr rubbed Cordelia’s head fondly. “You’re smart but too sentimental. People are nice to you,

and you value it, wanting to repay several times more. How can this be!?”

Cordelia pursed her lips and stayed silent.

“So, stay behind me next time.” Zephyr smirked as he hugged her in his arms, saying next to her ear in his deep

and husky voice, “I’ll protect you.”

He added, “Actually, I quite admire Prince Alexander. Even if he resorts to whatever he can do for the throne, it

can’t be helped. This is his way of survival. We should understand him.”

Cordelia nodded seriously and looked up to smile at him.

Zephyr seemed nonchalant but was actually elated. He would placate Cordelia first, then talk to Alexander to probe

him. If the prince did have an ulterior motive toward Cordelia, he would absolutely twist his head off!

Zephyr cracked a grin and continued to coax his wife to eat. While he smoked, he sent a text to Neil to ask him to

help arrange a meeting with the prince.

…

Neil was once again at the tailor’s Aurelia worked.

This time, the owner did not leave once he was there like previously. She stared at him instead.

Neil was in all black with a pair of large sunglasses. Paired with his model physique, he was a walking pheromone.

He looked back at the owner as she looked at him.

Usually, the woman looked at him like he was a gangster who would demolish her shop anytime. Today, however,

her gaze was completely different!

“I recognize you!” The owner laughed. “You’re that… actor who won awards! You acted in lots of movies!”

Neil frowned and removed his sunglasses to look at her.

“Oh my, it’s really you!”

“Shh…”

“No need to shush me!” The owner said with a chuckle, “This street is full of antiques of similar age like me. We

usually don’t watch movies or entertainment news, so no one knows you! But I saw my son who’s in university

watching your movie yesterday. That’s how I found out you’re an award-winning actor!”

Neil’s expression was complicated before he plastered on a smile.

“You deserve your awards! You look quite like a gangster when you act like one. I was totally tricked!”

Neil was at a loss for words.

“Hey.” The owner put on a gossiping face. “Are you really Aurelia’s boyfriend?”

Neil licked his lips and stayed silent, finding the woman noisy.

“Come on, tell me! What’s there to lose!” The owner pursed her lips. “I won’t allow it if you’re only having fun with

her! Our Aurelia’s a good girl!”

Neil was bewildered. “Your Aurelia?”

“What else? Yours?”

“You…”

“I have three sons, you know!”

Neil blew up. “Ma’am, which eye of yours saw I’m just having fun with her!?”

Aurelia coincidentally heard that as she had just entered. She stood at the door and froze, nearly dropping the pile

of clothes she was carrying.

Neil met eyes with her. Their gazes glistened with the same emotions.

Aurelia’s heart thumped, and she looked away, carrying the clothes to the owner, May Taylor. “May, these are

washed and ironed. The beads are sewn too. The customers can collect them in the afternoon.”

“Oh, okay!” May looked at Aurelia with a grin. “You work so fast. I’m assured with you around!

“Oh, uh, your boyfriend’s here for you!” May spoke seriously next to Aurelia’s ear. “I purposely provoked him just

now, and he got angry, saying he isn’t just messing with you… Heh, I think he’s fine. You can keep him and observe

him!”

Aurelia giggled.

May turned to leave, turning back to look at them with a loving grin when she got to the door.

Neil stood straight and tall, coughing twice with a proud face.

“Have you… started preparing for class?”

“Mm, I’ve decided on the university,” Aurelia answered softly. “But I work during the day, so I can only revise at

night.”

‘Working during the day and revising at night…’ Neil contemplated. This way, she probably would not have the time

to meet the owner’s three sons.

He nodded and smiled. “Right, the clothes you made for Cordelia, she received them and liked them a lot.”

“I knew she’d like that style!”

“She isn’t the only one. The queen liked it too and almost asked for you to be an embroidery artist in the palace.”

“What!?” Aurelia looked at him in disbelief. “Don’t lie to me. How would the queen have eyes for my work!?”

“I’m not.”

“Well…”

“He really didn’t lie to you.” A voice rang at the door suddenly.

Aurelia and Neil jolted.

As Aurelia trailed her gaze after the voice—the face was foreign to her, but the person’s gaze toward Neil seemed

familiar.

“He really didn’t lie to you,” the person said with a smile. “Because your work’s excellent, the queen noticed it. Is it

not normal?”

Neil asked in a low tone, “Why are you here?”
