Chapter 35


    Nobody knew why Karine’s cheeks were swollen, and there was even blood at the corner of her lips


    when she returned that day.


    She looked as clumsy as Jesse when he was beaten up the other day.


    The smart ones very soon thought of Cordelia when they connected the dots. However, as Cordelia


    was quite popr, kind, and hardworking, even if she had hit Karine, everyone would assume that


    thetter had crossed the line.


    Given that there was no solid proof, they moved on pretty quickly.


    Although no cameras captured the incident, Fredric had seen everything.


    He had been running an errand at a nearbyw firm. It was quite a scene to see Cordelia pping


    someone.


    He reported to Marcus instantly. As if he was influenced by Josiah, he had a simr tone when he


    spoke. “Z, your wife is a spicy little missy. The ps she served were so precise! She even warned


    the person that she’d suffer worse consequences if she dared to criticize you again!”


    Marcus raised his brow, and a smile appeared on his cold face.


    No wonder Cordelia looked a little panicky when she got home the other day. She even asked about


    the prison sentence for assault…


    He had assumed she was not actually scared, yet she braved all she had to protect him.


    Marcus felt warm. His eyes softened as he looked at the littledy who was busy working in the


    kitchen.


    He walked in slowly.


    Cordelia was fighting a fish.


    The fish was dying on the chopping board. She ced the kitchen knife t and raised it high. Thud!


    It fell hard. The fish was stunned entirely. She scraped the scales instantly and cut open its belly as


    its mouth opened and closed slowly.


    Marcus chuckled. It was his first time seeing the gory scene of a woman killing a fish, especially a


    soft woman like Cordelia.


    “Why are you here?” Cordelia turned her head after hearing his chuckle. Some strands of hair


    covered her eyes.


    “Why can’t you just buy a dead fish?” he asked gently. “Why bring so much trouble upon yourself by


    getting a live fish?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    “You’ve got a lot to learn!” Cordelia reasoned. “The dealer might switch the fish if you get them to kill


    it. They might switch it to a stale, dead fish. That’d be horrible! I’d rather take up the work myself to


    have my peace of mind!”


    Marcus smirked.


    The weather had been warmtely. She wore a T-shirt and shorts at home. Her white T-shirt was


    see-through, showing her bra straps. Meanwhile, her long, fair legs beneath the shorts were right


    before him. He watched her for a little bit when he suddenly realized his heart was racing. He


    quickly looked away.


    Cordelia adjusted the strap on her apron.


    Itnded right on her thighs.


    Marcus felt his throat tighten. It was rather dry.


    The kitchen, apron, her being busy, her naked legs, the sweat dripping on her forehead, and the tip


    of her nose—all these gave him a strange, tingling feeling.


    He took a few deep breaths in to suppress those magical feelings.


    He soon realized that he was being extra. The person before him was his wife! Having those


    feelings would make sense, and it would be legal if he were really to do something to her!


    Seeing that he stood there quietly, Cordelia stood up straight to look at him. He was blushing and


    panting a little bit. The way he looked at her was odd.


    She was stunned. She wiped her hands quickly and felt his forehead.


    “What’s wrong? Do you not feel well?


    “Jeez! Why are your cheeks burning?”
