Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 44

Cordelia stomped her foot in embarrassment. “Can’t… that!”

Marcus only came to a realization when he saw how red she was. She misunderstood what he meant by sleeping. With a stretch of his arm, he pulled her over and kept her in front of him.

As they lay on the bed, Marcus hugged Cordelia from the back. She tensed as she felt his hand move down all the way to her lower abdomen…

She wanted to stop him, but his hand began to rub her stomach gently. His palm was warm, and he was hugging her from the back. The heat he gave off soothed her stomachache.

Cordelia felt much better. She then heard his husky voice next to her ear. “I know you can’t. I’m not doing anything!”

It pulled a sweet smile from Cordelia as the sweetness went all the way to her heart.

“Feeling better?”

“Mn.”

“Don’t take the painkillers next time,” he said softly. “I’ll warm you up with my hands. Much better than the medicine.”

Cordelia nodded and snuggled toward Marcus. Her soft hair scratched his Adam’s apple, causing him to gulp and feel a little parched. Her fragrant scent seemed to keep invading his nose too.

Marcus bit his lip harshly. Only the pain could keep him rational and clear-minded for the time being.

Cordelia had no idea of the sufferings Marcus was currently going through. She only felt warm and relaxed since her tummy did not hurt anymore. She smiled. She had had no choice back when she married Marcus. It was a gamble that betted on her happiness.

The fact that she had won the bet was unexpected. God had given her such a nice husband.

If she had not married in place of Yelena, this warmth would belong to the latter, and the one in Marcus’ arms right now would be her too…

Cordelia was suddenly sorrowful upon recalling these.
