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.
“So, I just want to have someone who loves me, have a home of my own. We'll eat and play together 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.
