Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 36
Even when Marcus was being gentle, Carter was still pale and sweating from the pain.
“What happened? Who beat you up?” Cordelia cried, “Who did you offend?”
Carter kept his lips pursed without a word. It only distressed Cordelia even more, and she kept asking, but Carter said nothing, no matter how she interrogated him.
Marcus patted her shoulder with a look that asked her to relax before he helped Carter to the balcony. Cordelia watched the two of them close the door, and before long, Carter seemed to be talking to Marcus while wiping his tears.
When Marcus stepped out, Cordelia hurried to him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“He’s being bullied at school.” Marcus’ expression was cold, with a hint of rage between his brows.
Cordelia felt her heart clench in pain, and the impulse to cry rushed up again.
“It’s a few seniors who think your cousin’s an easy target and encircle him before and after school to ask for money from him. If he doesn’t have any, he’ll get beaten up.” Marcus bit his lips. “They didn’t get any money from him just now, so they slammed his head against the wall, yanking his hair. That’s why the wound on his forehead is quite bad.”
Cordelia sucked in a cold breath. She wanted to check her brother out on the balcony but was stopped by Marcus.
“Don’t go yet,” he whispered in her ear. “Boys this age are prideful. He won’t want you to see him like this. Wait for him to calm down first.”
“Mm.” Cordelia nodded but was suddenly puzzled. Her own brother refused to tell her that he was bullied but was willing to tell his brother-in-law, whom he had only met?
Marcus seemed to read her mind and smiled. “There are things that only men would tell men.”
Cordelia shook her head. “He’s only 16. What kind of a man is that!?”
“Don’t underestimate him.” Marcus chuckled. “When I was 16, I had already—”
He swallowed his words back halfway through his sentence.
Cordelia looked up at him. “Already what?”
Marcus choked and pulled Cordelia into his arms. Her waist easily fitted in his hand, so he tilted her chin up with another hand.
