Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 882

"Hmm... not entirely." Jim was eloquent when it came to his work. "It'd still be a mystery novel most of the time, but there'll be elements of romance incorporated." "That must be interesting!" Cordelia looked at him. "Can we have a spoiler, Uncle Bond?"

"Darling!" Zephyr shot her a look to stop her with a smile.

He knew writers had quirks and did not like others to find out the storyline in advance.

Jim was different. He generously explained, "There's a part in the novel based on a true story...

"I've looked it up. There used to be Southeast Aciatic princess who fell in love with a traveling artist in Melorian when she visited here."

"What!?" Cordelia and Zephyr froze and looked at each other simultaneously before they paid attention to what he said next.

"The traveling artist was a nomad and was said to be incredibly talented! Of course, he was very good-looking too. Why else would the princess be smitten?" "What happened after that?"

Jim continued. "I only remember that the royal family didn't support the relationship, but the princess was so in love that she's even given birth to a baby with the man! But the documentation isn't detailed, and a lot has been manually erased. Maybe... it's a humiliation to the royal family, so they don't want this to circulate among the people."

Cordelia put down her cutlery and met eyes with Zephyr. They seemingly understood something.

The princess, a traveling artist, a relationship that was not approved of, an illegitimate child... Each one could relate to Helene Charles!

Cordelia continued to ask, "Uncle Bond, where has the traveling artist gone to?"

"It's said that he's died." Jim stroked his chin. "After the royal family captured the princess back, he wanted to take a boat to Southeast Aciatic to look for her only to be caught in a shipwreck and buried in the deep sea. Hah, who knows if the shipwreck was a natural disaster or a manmade accident? This is one of the main mystery plots in my novel!"

Cordelia's expression flickered dimly.

Jim chortled. "This is the information I rummaged and collected to write. They might not be true. They could be made up by other senior writers! "But I don't like the ending of the princess and traveling artist... Hmm, I'll change it up in the book so they reunite and live happily ever after!" "Huh? This isn't like your style." Janine chuckled. "Your mystery novels all had sad endings. Why do you like happy endings now?"

Jim looked at her and held her hand gently.

"Because happiness is fleeting in life. One can't always wallow in sadness.

"Also, in the past, I heard others say that whatever work a writer produces, their life will move in that direction. It didn't matter to me before I met you. But after meeting you, this is the first time I hope that life will give me a happy ending...

"So, I won't write sad endings from now on, never!"

Janine's hand was on the back of Jim's hand. She felt the warmth under her palm and felt the bliss of their connecting hearts and hands.

Later when Cordelia and Zephyr went back to their place, they were still discussing the matter.

"Darling, I can bet that Uncle Bond must be talking about Princess Lene!"

"But Uncle Bond also said that his information isn't accurate and could be made up by others." Zephyr's gaze was cryptic.

"Uncle Bond also said that he'll keep looking into it!"

Zephyr could not help pinching Cordelia's cheek upon seeing how she refused to back down.

From Jim's work, it could be seen that he was someone after the truth and logic. He would definitely investigate the love story between the Southeast Aciatic princess and the traveling artist.

If he did find out something, the truth would be revealed.

It seemed that Janine had good taste. She actually found a Sherlock Holmes who could write!

Zephyr asked, "Right, honey, how's it going with dad? Has he run a test on Aurelia and Princes Lene?"
