Marcus furrowed his brows, but the frown quickly smoothed out.

Cordelia pouted and muttered to herself, “It’s too expensive to raise a child nowadays. Not only do we have to give birth to them and raise them, but we also have to get them educated and plan for their future. I personally don’t think I’m capable of affording it yet.

“Besides…” She turned to look at him, and a glint of shyness flashed in her eyes. “I want to spend a longer time with just you.”

She looked down with a smile, her dimples evidence of how sweetly in love she was.

Marcus felt like something had knocked into his heart.

He used to live life carefully as it was filled with intangible dangers and risks. It was only now that he had Cordelia that he knew how pleasant sunlight could be in this world. She warmed his dark and cold heart. She was the one who took him into spring, where flowers blossomed.

If he returned to Centrolis, all these would vanish…

Marcus smiled and hugged her tighter as if he was afraid that she would run away.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let you shoulder the burden alone if we have a baby.” He chuckled with a husky voice. “I found a job. I’ll give the salary to you, and your burden will be lighter.”

“What?” Cordelia widened her eyes, surprised and delighted. “You found a job? When?”

“Just two days ago.” Marcus smiled. “I’m going to be a boxing instructor in a boxing gym. I’ll join matches sometimes too. If I win, there’ll be cash prizes.”

Cordelia was dazed.

Being a boxing instructor was a decent job. He usually liked toying with weapons and often punched sandbags on the balcony too. With the muscles he gained, he seemed to fit the job quite nicely.

It was just that Cordelia was worried. This job was still risky. Getting injured would be common. She did not want him to work so hard. Moreover, many women liked signing up for self-defense lessons nowadays and could hardly move when they met muscular men. If…

She pursed her lips, suddenly inexplicably jealous.

“You can go out to work.” She looked at Marcus. “But I have terms!”

“What?” Marcus paused, amused.

Had the world changed so much now that a man had to gain permission from a woman to go out and work?
