“Y-You…”
It felt like a thunderbolt slashing through the sky, hitting Cordelia on the head and blanking her
thoughts.
The homeless guy seemed to be aware of it, making inaudible sounds after a glance at her and
shaking his head violently before he ran away with a bunch of trash like he was fleeing.
Cordelia chased after him but did not manage to catch up. She was pale as she panted heavily.
That face… It looked exactly like Marcus!
Cordelia froze on the spot as blood gushed to her head. Her hands were icy as they quivered. She
didn’t even know how she walked back to the hotel.
When she looked up and saw Marcus, the man put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to take a step
back in reflex to look at him in a daze.
“What happened?” Marcus’ voice was soft and deep.

The face in front of her was chiseled and clean, with manliness oozing from the eyes. How could that
homeless guy compare to Marcus?
Cordelia hit her head. She must be losing her mind. Her eyes must have played a trick on her just now!
“What’s the matter?” Marcus asked again patiently, his tone gentler than earlier.
Cordelia cracked a smile and interlaced their fingers.
How cold her fingers felt could not help but worry Marcus.
“Where did you go so early in the morning? This area is all mountain and sea. It’s windy. The weather
in Centrolis is also cold in the morning and night, only warmer during noon. Did you catch a cold for
going out wearing so little?”
Marcus’ palm approached Cordelia’s forehead but was coquettishly yanked down by the latter.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry!”
Marcus looked at her quietly with a rather deep gaze.
Cordelia found it funny as she thought about her earlier blunder. The corners of her lips quivered, and a
giggle escaped.
The world seemed brighter in color as Marcus took in her smile.
“Darling.” His voice was husky and charismatic as he held her shoulders. “We agreed that this is a
honeymoon, but you kept me waiting in an empty room last night.”
“Why? Are you upset?” Cordelia looked at him like a playful fox.
“How would I dare?” Marcus narrowed his eyes and ran a reckless hand on her back. “Now, though…
we should do what we should be doing on a honeymoon, right?”
“Stop it!” Cordelia gave him a light punch. “It’s early in the day, you—”
“I’ve never cared if it’s day or night.”
“No.” Cordelia pushed him away. “We already have today planned. We’re going to the water theme
park!”

Marcus was startled as he watched the girl pull out a few tickets that had been purchased in advance.
His face fell, his unfulfilled look terrifying.
“Honey…” Cordelia hooked her arm around his neck. “I know that you’re upset about last night, but I
hadn’t chatted with Linda through the night like we used to in school. Can’t you be a bit more
generous?
“Tonight…” Her eyes sparkling like the stars, she said next to Marcus’ ear, “I won’t mistreat you
tonight!”
Cordelia’s face reddened immediately as she snuggled against his chest.
It felt like someone stuffed a piece of marshmallow into Marcus’ heart as he felt sweet and soft, like he
was melting.
“Are you hungry?” He patted Cordelia. “Let’s have breakfast.”
“It’s not Edarial Dining still, right?”
“Hmm… I called to ask the reception just now. Our meals throughout the duration of our stay will be
kept at the best standard!”
