“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.
Cordelia snapped back to herself and took a deep breath.
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!”
