Cordelia turned around and slowly woke up. The first thing that appeared in her vision after opening her eyes was the figure of the man on the balcony.

A touch of embarrassment crept onto her pretty face, dying the tips of her ears red. She pursed her lips and chuckled. Then she felt something weird. Although they would have sex from time to time, he was able to keep his calm every time. He had never lost control like that before.

Cordelia got up from the bed lightly. She wanted to hug him from the back, but she did not expect that she would nearly fall when her feet touched the floor.

“Are you all right?”

Marcus hastily stretched his arm forward and grabbed her.

Cordelia was stunned for a moment. He pulled her into his arms and looked at her gently.

He chuckled and placed her back on the bed. As he tousled her hair, he said, “Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and trying to sneak up on me from behind?“

“I did not.” Cordelia punched him with her little fists. Both of them played for a while, and then Marcus’ gaze suddenly stopped on her body.

Her skin was fair, and it would become red easily.

Marcus’ gaze was filled with desire as he collected her hair behind her ears. “You should wear something that can cover your neck tomorrow.”

It took Cordelia a short while to realize what he was implying. Her face turned red with embarrassment. She threw herself into his arms and punched him with her fists again.

“Alright, stop it!” He chuckled. “Your punches feel like tickles. Do you want me to lose control again?”

“Marcus, you!” Her eyes widened. “You’re so bad!”

“So?”

“If you don’t stop being so bad to me, I’ll abandon you!”

She was just joking, but when Cordelia turned her head and looked at him, she realized that the light in his eyes had disappeared.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked, “What’s the matter, honey?”

He looked stoic, and even though he kept silent, she could see the disappointment in his eyes.

“I’m just joking!” Cordelia looked at him and said, “I’ll never abandon you.”

“But what if I lie to you?” He asked, his voice cold, “Will you leave me?”
