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…”

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!”
