Cordelia walked over slowly from the side, looking calm and composed.

Marcus now understood her intention. She had recorded solid evidence of the bullies, and these high

school seniors were already past 16 years old, so they would be legally charged. As long as the video

recording was handed to the police and a court case was brought up, these students would have a

criminal record for life.

Cordelia looked at them coldly.

“Carter isn’t the only one you guys bully, huh?” She spoke confidently. “I’ve called the police. They’ll

investigate it when they’re here.”

Everything was well within her control.

The students were taken away by the police and were interrogated according to the regular procedure.

They came clean about their bullying, and the charges went through. The outcome was gratifying.

Cordelia finally avenged Carter.

“Z, your wife’s pretty amazing.” Fredric, who had friends in the police station, heard about the matter

and could not help giving a thumbs up.

“She’s more level-headed than you and knows her law. This was excellently executed!”

Marcus chuckled. Cordelia kept surprising him since they got married. It was just that… he contributed

too, even if not a merit. He was the one who had beat up the kids, after all.

Based on Cordelia’s character, she would reward him for sure—or prepare a hearty meal for him, at

least. However, she did nothing.

He also felt that she was much colder to him these days. She no longer brought up the matter of

sleeping in the same room either. Marcus hinted her a few times, and Cordelia should absolutely get it

given how smart she was. Yet she acted oblivious and gave various excuses!

The result of it was that he was still sleeping on the couch.

Marcus sighed. His frown was deeply etched on his cold face as he was deep in thought, not even

noticing that his cigarette was about to burn him.

“Yo, Z!” Josiah speedily snatched the cigarette.

Marcus was startled before snapping back to reality.

This was Josiah’s first time seeing Marcus in such a trance.

“What are you thinking about?” He waved a hand in front of Marcus. “Oh yeah, news from Centrolis.

Hah… Your second uncle told your grandfather to pick a wife for you!”

Marcus’ gaze darkened. He snubbed the cigarette in the ashtray with a stern look.

“Those people in your family? Troublemakers.” Fredric said in worry, “If you go back one day,

Cordelia…”

“She won’t be with me,” Marcus said in a low tone. “We’re from two different worlds. It’s impossible for

us to blend.”

Fredric and Josiah paused before they exchanged a look, knowing what one another was thinking.

Even a fool could see that Marcus liked Cordelia, but the man kept a straight face and kept saying

“marriage is his disguise” and that he only felt responsible to Cordelia as a spouse.

He was lying to himself with such nonsense, but Cordelia had long grown on him. When the day they

would part came and he would have to uproot Cordelia from his heart, who knew how he was going to

endure the pain?

After a moment of silence, Marcus suddenly asked, “Do you have any ob-gyn doctor you’re familiar

with?”

Josiah and Fredric stared at him wide-eyed like they had seen a ghost.

“W-What?” Josiah wanted to laugh but dared not do so. He scanned Marcus from head to toe, arched

his brow, and exclaimed, “Z! My man! She’s pregnant already?!”

Marcus scowled and rolled his eyes.

Fredric narrowed his brows. “Can you let him finish first?”

Marcus coughed and said, “I just wanted to ask the doctor what’s good for women’s health.”

Josiah failed to hold himself back this time, spitting whatever he was drinking as he guffawed.

Fredric looked at him like he was looking at a fool.

Marcus’ glower grew darker.

The way the woman looked at him recently was sometimes doubtful and dejected. She seemed moody.

However, he really could not recall what he said wrong or caused a misunderstanding—and the

sanitary pads he saw in the bathroom this morning flashed in his mind just now.

He had heard that women were moody before their period. It was normal for that to happen. Was

Cordelia cold to him because she was on her period then? It seemed to be able to explain their current

situation.

Marcus had seen Cordelia suffer from period pain. She was all curled up on the bed, pale and sweaty.

He did not know how it felt but wanted her to feel better.

“If you don’t know one, I’ll ask others.” He looked at the two men flatly.

Josiah hooked an arm around his shoulder and chuckled, patting his chest. “Others? No need. I’m the

expert!

“Let me tell you… I have a secret recipe!” He kept his voice hushed like he was telling a secret. “Give it

to her, and I assure you that after she uses it…”
