Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Zephyr was wearing it on his hand, so Cordelia was able to compare them straight away.

They were really identical. Even the design of the bell and weaving method was the same.

The couple exchanged a look and nodded in unison. Zephyr held Cordelia’s hand, and they swiftly left Royal Manor.

They drove to the hot spring hotel close to the beach. The air smelled slightly salty as well. After getting out of the

car, they took the winding path and heard a familiar voice not too long later.

“Young lady, your life ahead is great!

“Hmm… but romantic relationship-wise, it’s a bit weaker. Hah, you two will part sooner or later!”

Cordelia’s heart squeezed as she quickened her steps.

The one standing there was still that old woman. She was reading a tourist’s palm with a small smile that looked like

she knew everything.

Cordelia froze and heard the old woman say, “But one day, you’ll be happy!”

Was this not what she had told them back then as well?

“These two bracelets are for you.” The old woman produced two red-weaved strings with bells on them. “If you

separate one day, this bracelet will let you know where each other is.”

Zephyr was stunned as well.

She said the same thing to whoever it was!

He chuckled self-depreciatingly and was going to leave with Cordelia, but the latter’s stubbornness flared and

insisted on making things clear with the old woman.

“How could she do this? Isn’t that tricking us? At this age too!”

“Forget it.” Zephyr chortled. “If it wasn’t to make a livelihood, she wouldn’t be fortune telling here at this age.”

“But…” Cordelia pouted. “I was worried for so long because of what she said!”

A surge of warmth rushed into Zephyr’s heart. He was the same. Sometimes, when he woke up in the middle of the

night and recalled those words, thinking that they would part one day, he could hardly get back to sleep.

Now that he knew the truth—that the old woman did not know how to tell one’s fortune and was only tricking them

—he did not feel the anger of being cheated but like a rock had been lifted off.

“Young lady, would you like me to take a look for you?” The old woman slowly walked to them with a cane and

pretended to scan Cordelia before saying with certainty, “You have a wealthy destiny. I think you’re…”

“I have the destiny of an empress!” Cordelia crossed her arms in front of her.

The old woman looked surprised. Since she was experienced in this, though, she calmed down and smiled. “Yes. It’s

good… But young lady, your romance will not go smoothly. You and this one next to you…”

“We’ll part sooner or later!” Cordelia was so angry she actually huffed a laugh.

The old woman blinked. ‘Whoops, I might have met them before and not done a good job. They are not here to

settle the score with me, are they?’

The old woman was going to flee when a voice came from nearby. “What nonsense are you spewing here again!?”

When Cordelia and Zephyr looked in the voice’s direction, they found it was actually Clark!

It was like a mouse meeting the cat when the old woman saw Clark. She stopped limping or hunching and was

going to toss her cane away and run for it.

Clark managed to stop her before that and grabbed the back of her collar like he was catching a chicken.

“Hey, softer! Softer!”

“Softer what?” Clark glared at her. “You still worry people at this age. You’re here pretending to be a fortune teller

to trick people again, aren’t you?”

“No, I—”

“And you managed to trick our young master this time!?”

The old woman was shocked. “Your… young master?”

Clark dragged her to Zephyr.

The latter squinted. His aloof expression was tinged with a hint of confusion. “Uncle Clark, this is?”

“I’m so sorry, sir!” Clark looked guilty. “She’s my younger sister…”

Cordelia quietly approached Zephyr and laced their fingers together, looking at Clark and his younger sister.

Over these decades Clark had been working dutifully for the Hamertons, his only concern was his younger sister.

Helen was also worried about him, so she took on odd jobs around the hot spring hotel to stay closer to him.

She then discovered that many fortune tellers around the area made money by saying a few words. She copied

them and started the trade as well.

She did not have a good life. Because she could not give birth to a child when she was younger, she was tortured by

her in-laws and was often injured. Her husband passed away in an accident later on, and she had no children, so

she lived alone until now.

That was why when she did fortune telling, she made good things up even though she did not know how to at all. It

was because she hoped that those who sought fortune-telling from her would be happy and that no one would

repeat what she had been through.

Cordelia was a little sad as she listened.

It seemed that Helen was not a bad person. Even when she did not have a good life, she was willing to pass on the

love.

Clark explained, “Mr. Zephyr, I’ve actually always asked people to keep an eye on my younger sister, afraid that

she’d be making nonsense up around here and damaging the Hamertons’ reputation. That’s why I rushed over

when I heard people say she was out to fortune tell again.

“I apologize on behalf of her, sir. Please be merciful and forgive her if she said something she shouldn’t have!”

Clark took a deep bow, making Cordelia feel awkward, and she quickly stopped him.

The old man was respected in the Hamertons and was Liam’s most trusted aide. Zephyr had always respected him

like he was his family elder.

“Uncle Clark, nothing so serious.” Zephyr looked at him. “I’m not blaming Aunt Helen. What she said were all good

things, and I like it.”

“Sir…” Clark was surprised.

If this had been before, Zephyr would have definitely chased her out and forbidden her from appearing around the

hotel with a cold face. Now…

Clark smiled understandingly after his surprise and looked at Cordelia with a meaningful look.

Now that she was around him, his character softened up significantly.

Zephyr asked seriously, “Uncle Clark, given your status in the Hamertons, it isn’t difficult to arrange a job for Aunt

Helen.”

“It’s not, but I can’t do that.” Clark smiled. “Your grandfather hates abuse of power, and I’m constantly around him.

All the more I can’t let down his trust!”

“You can’t be partial around my grandpa, but you can be at my side.”

“What?”

Zephyr smiled. “Cordelia and I are staying outside, and I’ve been considering getting someone to take care of her. I

won’t be assured if I get someone directly from the Hamertons.”

“Sir, you…”

“Let Aunt Helen come to Royal Manor,” said Zephyr. “She’ll be treated well.”
