Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 20

‘People like us can’t afford to eat here.’

When these words reached the tip of Cordelia’s tongue, she swallowed them back down. She looked at Marcus’ anticipating expression and recalled that he had given her all his valuable family heirlooms.

How could she be stingy to her husband when he did not consider her an outsider?

Cordelia made up her mind and plastered on a smile. “Let’s go in.”

Marcus was startled. Her answer had completely exceeded his expectations. “We’re really going in?”

“Of course!” Cordelia grinned in delight and stayed close to him, acting as though she was snuggling up to him. “Since you like this place, we’ll eat here. It’s just a meal. Don’t worry, your wife can still feed you!”

Marcus blinked. He had intentionally chosen this place, knowing that Cordelia did not have a high salary and expecting her to placate him with various excuses. She might even buy some cheap groceries and suggest that they go home for dinner in the end.

He had just wanted to tease her and force her into confessing that she was not Yelena but a substitute. However, he suddenly felt that his prank had gone too far.

“Why don’t we—” Before he could finish, Cordelia dragged him in. They got a window seat, so they got to see the night view.

Cordelia ordered two dishes, not very expensive ones, but that was all she could afford. She made it clear to their server that they only wanted small portions, just enough for Marcus to be full.

“Why aren’t you eating?” He looked her in the eye.

Cordelia smiled, her gaze evasive. “I’m not very hungry. I don’t have much of an appetite.”
