Married a Secret Billionaire

“Of course,” replied Cordelia. “Marcus said so. It’s no longer feudal times. A woman’s innocence isn’t that important.”

“You listen to him in everything…” Linda sighed as she cushioned her head with her arm.

“Be careful! He seems quite chauvinistic. Who knows if he’s thinking and saying different things? A woman’s innocence isn’t important? Nice to say! Hah, you’ve never dated and met men! If you tell him that you have a first love, see if he’s as calm.”

“This isn’t exactly gossip.” Linda giggled. “I’m just expressing about Marcus! I’ll stop if you don’t want to hear about it.”
