“Linda, you don’t understand,” Cordelia said with a smile. “He’s actually quite nice to me…”
“Nice?” Linda arched a brow, looking skeptical.
Cordelia told her about returning the wedding dress the day after their wedding, getting humiliated by
the sales assistant, and then having Marcus buy the most expensive wedding dress in the boutique out
of anger before making the sales assistant measure her on her knees.
She had thought that the man was shady, egoistic, materialistic and had anger issues. Most
importantly, he was wasting Cordelia’s savings!
“Cordelia, if you think that him standing up for you at the bridal boutique and giving you some family
heirloom is considered being nice, you’re too naïve and you have no idea what marriage is!
“A marriage requires effort from both people—not you working your *ss off here while he reaps the fruit
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou sow, idling away back at home!”
Linda poked Cordelia’s head, frustrated by her compliance. She was a good girl, a little too nice, even.
Once someone was the slightest bit good to her, she would remember it for life and repay it forever.
Someone like her meeting someone who had gone to prison, like Marcus, was akin to an innocent little
bunny getting eaten alive!
“A man like him doesn’t make anything. He only spends his wife’s money! Is he even a man?” Linda
added.
Cordelia pulled a straight face immediately. Her eyes were not sparkling anymore as she looked at her
sternly.
“I forbid you to say that about my husband!”
Astounded, Linda failed to respond.
“Yes, I’m biased when it comes to him—I’m spoiling him!” Cordelia was sharp-tongued when she
wanted to be. “He’s my husband. Shouldn’t I be taking his side and pampering him? I know that he has
a lot of weaknesses and they’re all fatal in your eyes.
“But I’m the one living with him each day. I know what kind of person he is!
“Even though he’s been in fights and jail in the past, I don’t think he’s a bad guy at all! He’s a real man
too! Besides, I’m the one lying to him in this marriage. He doesn’t even know my identity yet. If I hadn’t
married him, the Jenners wouldn’t have paid for my mom’s treatment. Speaking of that, I should be
thanking him!
“So…” Cordelia swallowed, blushing a little. “Don’t speak ill of my husband in front of me again. I don’t
like it!”
Linda stared at her with eyes as wide as saucers. Knowing Cordelia for so many years, she had always
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthought that the former was a gentle and quiet soul and had not expected her to be as fluent as an elite
lawyer when she argued. Her firm, assertive look actually made her look kind of cute.
Linda snapped out of her daze and chuckled self-depreciatingly. She sighed and raised both hands in
surrender.
“Okay, okay. I won’t ever dare criticize your husband in front of you again! Sigh, you two are married,
after all. You share a bed. How could I compare to that…”
Cordelia’s cheeks reddened even more when she heard that.
Linda misunderstood the reason she was flushing and smirked at her. “Speaking of sharing a bed…
does your husband have you hooked? Why else would you be defending him and letting him splurge
so much?”
“Linda, you…” Cordelia felt both embarrassed and shy. “What are you talking about?!”
“Come on, what else can’t we talk about?” Linda giggled harder. “It’s alright. Think about it from another
perspective. It’s like having a boy toy. He’s handsome enough to be worth the money!”
