“Yes, I’m biased when it comes to him—I’m spoiling him!” Cordelia was sharp-tongued when she wanted to be. “He’s my husband. Shouldn’t I be taking his side and pampering him? I know that he has a lot of weaknesses and they’re all fatal in your eyes.

“Even though he’s been in fights and jail in the past, I don’t think he’s a bad guy at all! He’s a real man too! Besides, I’m the one lying to him in this marriage. He doesn’t even know my identity yet. If I hadn’t married him, the Jenners wouldn’t have paid for my mom’s treatment. Speaking of that, I should be thanking him!

Cordelia’s cheeks reddened even more when she heard that.

Linda misunderstood the reason she was flushing and smirked at her. “Speaking of sharing a bed… does your husband have you hooked? Why else would you be defending him and letting him splurge so much?”
