Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

When Marcus opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of Cordelia coming out of the kitchen with two plates.

She originally had worry etched on her face, but she swapped it for a smile the moment she saw him. Unfortunately, the smile looked a bit forced.

Marcus sat at the table after washing his hands. He had trained the whole day, so he was famished. The steaming dishes looked very appetizing. He picked up his cutlery and started to eat, while Cordelia sat unmoved opposite him.

Marcus put down his cutlery, his gaze cryptic. “Do you have something to tell me?”

He kept his eyes on her for a while before chuckling and going back to eating. Since she did not want to tell him, he was not going to ask. One day, the girl would
