Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 132

The group sat around the round table. The dishes were aromatic and looked exquisite. Every dish was placed in delicate porcelain, looking incredibly extravagant.

Seth could care less if the food was drugged. He impatiently helped himself with the dishes.

Linda teased him. “Not scared of the restaurant pulling your bank password out of you now?”

“They can do as they please!” Seth answered with food in his mouth. “It’s not like I have much in my account. Probably can’t even afford this meal! I won’t be making a loss!”

“Oh, Dr. Stafford’s a wise consumer!”

“You’re not bad either!” Seth chuckled. “You ate more than me!”

Linda almost hit his head with her cutlery.

Cordelia and Marcus grinned at each other lovingly as they watched their friends bicker.

“All the dishes are served.” The manager led the servers to serve some fish soup.

“This is a fish only available in the river of Splendor Mountain. Its meat is fresh and sweet, buttery but not overwhelming. It’s the best for soups.”

The four of them took off the lids.

As expected, an aroma wafted into the room. The fish was braised well with a hint of romance from the adornment of petals.

Cordelia gave the fish eye to Marcus out of habit.

It had always been like that. When her mother was still sober and sane, she would make Cordelia and Carter fish. When it was served, she would give the eyes to her and Carter. Her mother said that fish eyes were good for one’s eyes and were the most precious part of a fish.

Of course, the most precious part should be shared with the most precious person.

Cordelia smiled as she looked at Marcus.

Linda smirked in envy. “Aww, someone’s doting on her husband like precious fish eyes. What a match made in heaven! Ugh, you make me so jealous!”

“No need to be jealous!” Seth teased her. “You have a fish too! Pick the eyes yourself if you want them!”

“How’s that the same as them being given by someone else?”

Cordelia blushed and ducked her head.

Marcus smiled, having never felt as triumphant in his life.

Seth gave Linda the fish eyes in his bowl before they started eating.

“You—”

“There.” He looked at her gently. “Now you have them too.”

Linda stayed silent with her head lowered, but a smile bloomed from the corner of her lips.

…

Cordelia booked three rooms. She had thought that she would rest in the room with Marcus after dinner, but Linda tugged her, looking a little awkward.

Cordelia thought about it. Linda and Seth were not official yet, so maybe they did not feel comfortable spending time alone. Even if they got along well, what if they impulsively entered the same room? It would be too fast.

The corner of Cordelia’s lips twitched. She asked Marcus to go ahead while she stayed back to chat with Linda. Hence, she accompanied the latter into her room.

It was only then Linda heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Do you have to be so nervous?” Cordelia teased her. “Dr. Stafford’s a gentleman. He’d never take advantage of you!”
