Cordelia blushed and gave the man’s muscular chest a light push.

“Darling, you’re smart, pretty, and capable. Have you regretted marrying me?”

“What are you saying?” Cordelia glared at him without fear. “Even Giselle can see that I’m guarding you with my life, and you have to ask?!”

“I just don’t feel very confident.” Marcus smiled. “Your sister’s goal is to marry Mr. Z Hamerton, but you…”

“Here you go again!” She pouted. “Can you stop mentioning Mr. Z Hamerton? My ears are bleeding from hearing this name all night! And I think that there’s a big problem with this Mr. Z!”

Marcus raised a brow and looked at her with interest. “What problem?”

“Mr. Z Hamerton, doesn’t it sound pretentious?” Cordelia pursed her lips. “I think he must either have a problem in his head or look ugly!”

Marcus was rendered speechless.

“Ah, darling!” Cordelia looked like she was struck with a realization. “Who knows if he really looks too mature for his age and doesn’t look good? I guess that children from an established family like the Hamertons have a lot of pressure since they’re young. This Mr. Z might have turned bald a long time ago from the immense pressure! He might even have a hormonal imbalance and be fat like a meatball! A bald head and a fat body, so he’d look like 50 when he’s still in his 20s. Right?

“Gosh, if that’s the case… Mr. Z is kind of pitiful. Don’t you think so?”

There was a flurry of expressions on Marcus’ face before he patted Cordelia’s shoulder after some time.

“Honey, let’s go home.”
