Caught in the predicament, the Jenners had been forced to make Cordelia marry Marcus in Yelena’s place.

“Oh, right, I haven’t asked you about newlywed life!” Seth grinned gleefully as he scanned Marcus. “You look radiant. Having a good time with your wife, huh?

“Speaking of which, I’m basically your wingman. When are you taking her to meet me?”

Marcus tried to force a smile through his glower, looking extremely unnatural.

Back when he had come to nurse his injury in this village, he had only taken Marcus’ identity after coincidentally finding out that the Grists were gone and Marcus Grist, based on his ID, looked incredibly like him.

He had concealed his real identity so he could prepare himself and get his plan ready. Getting married had not been part of his plan!

It was kind of hard to handle Seth when he got too friendly…

“Right, I heard that the Jenner heiress doesn’t have the best temper?” Seth asked, looking at Marcus in concern. “Hah, she grew up being doted on, after all. It’s no wonder she’d have a bit of a tantrum. Try to keep it together. Don’t try getting even with a woman!”

“Mm, I got it,” Marcus answered flatly.

Although the marriage had been unexpected, it was fortunate that the person he had married was not the heiress of the Jenners. If he had married Yelena Jenner, he might have actually wanted to choke Seth to death.

Since the two men had not met for some time, Seth invited Marcus to have a drink at his place. Just as Marcus struggled to find a way to reject the offer, a few older women ran up the path to the hill.

“Gosh, Marcus, you’re here? Hurry back home!”

“Your dear wife will be crumbling soon otherwise!”
