The corners of Marcus’ lips twitched.

Cordelia looked at him in worry. She was worried that Marcus had gotten together with those dodgy inmates from the past and resorted to some dubious tricks to force William into buying this place for her.

Even if they succeeded in coercing him for now, there would be endless troubles after this.

She honestly did not wish for Marcus to get into unnecessary trouble anymore.

“Are you worried about me?” Marcus’ gaze was deep, but his smile was carefree. “Don’t worry. It’s completely legit. I promised you I wouldn’t get into trouble, so I will keep my promise.”

“But someone like my father…”

“I got a lawyer,” Marcus said nonchalantly. “I got to know him since… I was in jail. He often gives legal assistance to inmates. He is a nice guy and has helped me a lot after I’ve gotten out too.”

“Oh, I see.” Cordelia was finally relieved. “Then we should thank him properly! Why don’t we invite him home for a meal?”

”No need for now. Mr. Constable is kind of busy. Next time when he’s free.”

Cordelia nodded and kept the property deed carefully.

Marcus hugged her from the back. He had not properly been intimate with her recently since he was occupied with his family affair. Now that the moon was hanging high in the sky with a cool breeze blowing in, her sweet fragrance felt like a kitty pawing at his heart.

Marcus was enthralled, resting his chin on her shoulder as he left kisses all over her fair neck. Just when he was going a step further, Cordelia tugged him and turned to smile awkwardly at him.
