Cordelia wore a cream-yellow dress with thin strapped heels. Each smile and movement was captivatingly gorgeous. Marcus, who was next to her, was tall and straight. His presence was barely ignorable. He was wearing the suit they picked out at the boutique the other day.

“Hey, he’s so handsome!” someone commented softly. “Didn’t people say Cordelia got married to a thug who only knows how to fight? Have you met such a handsome thug?”

“When they stand together, those who didn’t know better would’ve thought some CEO that’s attending the event with his wife!”

“Mm, I can…” Marcus teased her on purpose, “But you’ve seen your female coworkers who called me handsome just now. They’re staring at me like starved wolves. Aren’t you worried about leaving me alone here?”

“You—” Cordelia glared at him.

Marcus grinned and swiped at her nose before pressing a kiss on her forehead.

“Go ahead with your socializing. I’ll wait for you here, with absolute obedience to morals!”
