Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 242

Linda was rendered speechless.

There were more people watching them now, either enviously or with stupid grins. Some of them whipped their phones out to record it and chuckled. “I always hear people say they kneel on washboards, but I never expected I’d encounter someone kneeling on one because of his wife!”

“Hahaha!”

Linda’s cheeks were burning. She wanted nothing more than to bury herself in a hole if there was one.

“Nicholas! W-What… Have you lost your mind!?

“Get up! Stop kneeling!”

She wanted to pull him up as she spoke.

Despite that, the man shouted louder, “Don’t touch me!

“Anyone who dares interrupt me from admitting my fault to my wife is my enemy! I, Nicholas Thompson, have some status in the gangs. Anyone who has a grudge against me, I’ll definitely—

“Ow!”

Before he finished, Linda pulled his ear.

Nicholas wore a pained expression, but when he peeked at Linda, his gaze was loving.

His underlings behind him finally failed to hold it in and turned away to giggle with a hand over their mouths.

“Enough of embarrassing yourself?”

“Yes…”

“Then go home!”

“Okay, okay, let’s go home! Ow, sweetheart, softer…” Linda pulled up Nicholas, and he followed her, not forgetting his washboard.

“Heh, sweetheart, how big a ring do you want? Are 10 carats enough?”

…

“Just keep an eye on the board of directors. Contact me anytime there’s a situation.”

Zephyr ended the call after that.

Kate served him the peach tea she had long prepared from the side.

“Nice one, Zephyr!” Kate pursed her lips. “Don’t listen to your grandfather who is asking you to go back. All the old fox knows is to pretend to be sick!

“But once he does, it’s Matthew’s heaven. Sigh, your father is great, but he’s just so unconcerned! He doesn’t even care to show up at your grandfather’s place!”

As she spoke, she suddenly found it wrong. Why was she always complaining to the stepson about his father?

“Hah, I don’t mean it.” Kate chuckled. “I mean, if your father could bear this responsibility, Matthew would not get any chance! And you wouldn’t have to be so tired too. You can stay here and keep Cordelia company wholeheartedly.

“Speaking of which, how is Cordelia now? Still ignoring you?”

Zephyr shook his head with a depressed look.
