Other women would want their husbands to be the richest men in the world, but the woman in front of
him was different.
Cordelia looked at him while blinking her eyes.
“Why? Is it not good to be a normal person?”
“Well, not that.” Marcus smiled lightly. “What I’m trying to say is that if your husband is more capable,
you’ll have a better life, don’t you think so?”
“I’m very satisfied with what I have now!” Cordelia wrapped her arm around his and leaned on his
shoulder.
She had always been someone who was easily satisfied.
Compared to a wealthy life, she preferred to spend her life together with the man she loved in peace.
“Honestly, I don’t envy those rich people at all,” she said with a low voice. Maybe it’s because I grew up
in a dysfunctional family. I witnessed my mother’s tragedy, and I feel that all rich people are heartless.

until we’re old! That’s my biggest wish!”
Marcus looked at her, and his face sank.
“What if…” He asked, his voice hoarse, “I mean, what if… What if one day in the future you realize that
your husband is actually super rich? Can you accept it?”
Cordelia fell silent for a moment before replying, “I don’t think I can accept it.”
His heart skipped a beat. “Why?”
“I’ll be very stressed out. I’ll feel that we’re not the same kind of person. We live in two different worlds,
and we’ll have a lot of conflict in the future. Instead of fighting every day in the future, it’s better if we
break up now.”
Marcus’ eyes turned cold. “You want to break up with me?”
“What are you nervous about? None of these are real anyway!” Cordelia chuckled as she leaned on
him. “Honey, we’re just an ordinary couple. You should stop thinking about these things in the future.
Your assumption is so unrealistic! All we have to do is live a good life and save as much money as we
can. Then, we’ll have children and stay together until we’re old, okay?”
“Okay,” Marcus replied while nodding.
She could not see the disappointment on his face since the surroundings were dimly lit. She did not
know that he was very nervous now either.
Marcus held her tightly in his arms as nervousness clutched tightly at his heart.
He looked into the distance. He could see nothing but darkness, just like their future.
…
Marcus only came around to his senses after Zennie called him a few times and was nearly burned by
his cigarette.
Zennie took over the cigarette from him and threw it into the ashtray while looking at him like he was
some kind of idiot.
Josiah couldn’t help himself and let out a boisterous laugh. “Zennie, this isn’t something you can see

Marcus glared at him.
Zennie asked curiously, “What is going on with my brother? He wouldn’t act like this in the past.”
“You’re right.” Josiah whispered, “He wouldn’t act like this before he got married.”
Understanding soon dawned upon Zennie, and she let out a laugh.
Marcus ignored them. To mask his embarrassment, he picked up the magazine at the side and read it.
However, a laugh rang throughout the room again.
“Z!” Fredric pointed at him. “You’ve got it backward!”
Marcus’ face turned dark.
Fredric knew that it must have something to do with Cordelia.
However, this was something between him and his wife. They could handle it themselves, so he did not
have to tell them anything.
