Cordelia suddenly stopped cutting the meat and bit her lip. A complicated expression flashed through her tiny, pretty face.

Her eyes turned red after falling into a moment of silence. Tears were pouring.

“I’m sorry… I’ve been deceiving you. I’m not Yelena, but Cordelia. I’m not the Jenners’ heiress. I’m just a disgraceful illegitimate daughter. I’m poor…

“If you’re mad, I’m willing to make it up to you. Name whatever you want. All I’m asking is not to be mad at my mom and Carter. They don’t know that I married you. I…”

“Whatever I want?” Smirking, Marcus walked to her.

“Huh?”

He was smiling with his eyes. He said with his voice deepened, “My compensation is expensive.”

Cordelia was scared but said with determination. “It’s okay. Just tell me, and I’ll definitely fulfill you.”

Marcus was intrigued. Suddenly, he embraced her slender waist while looking into her bright eyes.

In all seriousness, he enunciated each word. “I want you to compensate me forever.”

Cordelia was stunned.

“What? Is forever too short?” He chuckled. “Then let’s do that for all our lives to come.”

She stared at him for a while. Like a burden being released, she finally smiled, leaned on him coquettishly, and hugged him tightly.
