Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 940

"Little guy, I'm your uncle too!"

Zuko saw Neil approaching again and immediately raised a chubby hand to block, slapping him in the face with a smack.

"No, you're not!"

Zephyr smirked and carried his son over to teach him. "Zuko, Uncle Carter's very smart, so he doesn't need your help. But this uncle's a bit foolish and pitiful. Didn't Papa teach you that you should have sympathy for others?"

Zuko nodded and replied innocently, "Yes!"

"Then let's help this silly uncle, okay?"

Zuko turned his big eyes and nodded hard as if he had grown up in an instant.

"Baby, you're such a kindhearted good boy!"

"Zephyr Hamerton!" Neil gnashed his teeth.

Zephyr looked at him and raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Neil said through his gritted teeth in the most vicious tone, "Thank you so very much!"

The weather was great on the weekend. Cordelia and Aurelia walked shoulder to shoulder on the field outside the city.

Aurelia had not really wanted to come out, but when she heard Zuko's soft and tender voice on the phone, her heart melted like a marshmallow under the sun.

Zuko was already able to walk steadily, but he still ran with a wobble. The little fellow was full of joy, bouncing and shouting in the open field.

Cordelia looked at Aurelia. The latter's gaze kept following Zuko. Her affection was undeniable.

Cordelia chuckled and nudged Aurelia's arm. "Hey, you like my son so much?"

"Of course." Aurelia smiled. "This handsome little baby is likable wherever he goes!"

"Your child will definitely be gorgeous too!"

"Cordelia, you..." Aurelia's face turned red.

"Uh, I misspoke," Cordelia said deliberately. "You're not married yet. How could I say these things to you?"

Aurelia looked up at her.

Two intelligent people did not need to say much. They could understand what each other meant from each other's gaze. Aurelia knew that Cordelia was there as a mediator for Neil, and Cordelia also knew that Aurelia had seen through her little trick. Both of them smiled at each other and continued to walk slowly.

"Are you still angry?" Cordelia asked tentatively.

Aurelia's smile froze for a moment before she said softly, "Not exactly, actually."

"Really?"

"He took a bullet for me. Whether or not he lied to me afterward, the fact that the bullet hit him is real! His suffering is also real!"

Cordelia smiled. She knew that Aurelia was a sensible and considerate girl. It seemed that Neil had a chance this time.

"I'm just angry with him for making me worry for so long!" Aurelia pouted and shook the several dandelions she had picked in her hand, feeling a bit unhappy.

"He knew I was feeling guilty and blaming myself, and he knew I was frightened, but he just laid in bed and wouldn't get up! He's just too..."

"That's right. He's really too much!" Cordelia agreed with her. "I'm not trying to defend him, Aurelia. I just want to give you a simple analysis of his thoughts." "Okay." Aurelia blinked her big eyes at her.

"My cousin's always been a proud man. He was pampered by his family when he was young, and then he was indulged by his fans when he grew up. He's got a big head there, I'll tell you. He might look like he knows what he's doing romantically, but he's never really been in a serious relationship.

"I remember that there were always boys back in school playing pranks on girls, pulling their pigtails, hiding their textbooks, and scaring them by hiding frogs in their drawers..." Cordelia smiled. "It's only later that I realized the boy wasn't targeting the girl. He was just in love with her, so much that he didn't know how to express it."
