He was lying to himself with such nonsense, but Cordelia had long grown on him. When the day they would part came and he would have to uproot Cordelia from his heart, who knew how he was going to endure the pain?

After a moment of silence, Marcus suddenly asked, “Do you have any ob-gyn doctor you’re familiar with?”

Josiah and Fredric stared at him wide-eyed like they had seen a ghost.

“W-What?” Josiah wanted to laugh but dared not do so. He scanned Marcus from head to toe, arched his brow, and exclaimed, “Z! My man! She’s pregnant already?!”

Marcus scowled and rolled his eyes.

Fredric narrowed his brows. “Can you let him finish first?”

Marcus coughed and said, “I just wanted to ask the doctor what’s good for women’s health.”

Josiah failed to hold himself back this time, spitting whatever he was drinking as he guffawed.

Fredric looked at him like he was looking at a fool.

The way the woman looked at him recently was sometimes doubtful and dejected. She seemed moody. However, he really could not recall what he said wrong or caused a misunderstanding—and the sanitary pads he saw in the bathroom this morning flashed in his mind just now.

He had heard that women were moody before their period. It was normal for that to happen. Was Cordelia cold to him because she was on her period then? It seemed to be able to explain their current situation.

Marcus had seen Cordelia suffer from period pain. She was all curled up on the bed, pale and sweaty. He did not know how it felt but wanted her to feel better.

“If you don’t know one, I’ll ask others.” He looked at the two men flatly.

Josiah hooked an arm around his shoulder and chuckled, patting his chest. “Others? No need. I’m the expert!
