Marcus’ eye twitched. He felt choked like a rock was lodged in his heart.

“Silly.” He rubbed her head. “You really want to take care of me?”

Cordelia blinked. “Yeah. Why?”

“It’s always men who take care of women. No wife who earns for her husband!

“I’ve been looking for jobs recently too. There should be news soon,” Marcus said softly. “I won’t let you handle everything alone. This home belongs to the two of us. I’ll be responsible for you.”

Cordelia kept a long look at him and smiled sweetly. She peeled another egg and placed it on his plate.

The next day…

Cordelia was off to Centrolis with her coworker, Annie.

Centrolis was unlike Jangasas—it felt richer. If Jangasas were a docile and pretty heiress of a notable family, Centrolis was the royal and noble princess.

Once they landed, Cordelia called Marcus to let him know.

“Darling, I’ve arrived.” She smiled as she looked around. She and Annie were walking on the busy street in the business district of Centrolis, where towering skyscrapers were everywhere, and Annie was busy snapping photos.

Marcus replied without much emotion, “You have someone else with you?”

“Yeah, Annie’s with me,” Cordelia answered softly. “She’s all play and doesn’t want to go back to the hotel, insisting I walk around with her.”

“Mm, you both be careful. Don’t get separated. You aren’t familiar with the area.”

“I know!”

“There are lots of fun places in Centrolis.” Marcus smiled. “I’ll send you a few addresses later. You can visit there with your coworker after work.”

Cordelia was quiet for a moment before she asked him, “Honey… y-you’ve been to Centrolis?”
