Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 136

“Really?” Cordelia was excited. “They’re promoting their anniversary, but we’re the ones who got lucky!”

“Yeah.” Marcus smiled. He was content as long as she was happy.

“Darling, I realize that my luck’s been great ever since I married you. Everything’s going so unexpectedly smoothly!” Cordelia stood on tiptoe and held Marcus’ face to peck his lips.

“You’re my lucky little charm, baby!”

It caught Marcus by surprise. He swiped her nose and chuckled.

“Go ahead and have breakfast first,” he said in a deep tone. “I’ll go to the washroom and join you later.”

“Oh.” Cordelia did not think much about it. “I’ll go look for Linda and Seth first. Come meet us soon!”

“Sure.”

As Cordelia skipped out of the room, a dark glint flashed across Marcus’ eyes. He picked up the landline and dialed a few digits, asking darkly, “What did she run into this morning?”

“Sir, Ms. Cordelia was at the beach, and we kept watch from afar, not daring to go close. She returned later, and it was at the trash can by the road that…” Marcus’ subordinate sounded hesitant.

“Speak!” Marcus growled with a hint of anger.

“She encountered a homeless guy there.”

A homeless guy? Marcus tensed. Was she taken advantage of?

“The homeless guy didn’t do anything to Ms. Cordelia, but she stared in his direction after he left, standing there for more than ten minutes.”

‘She might have been frightened.’ This was the first thought that went through Marcus’ head.

However, he recalled the thugs that had teased her when they first got married and Cordelia fighting them with a stick. There was also that time she choked the driver and jumped out of the car when she thought that Josiah had an ulterior motive after the business dinner, nearly killing herself.

How could a brave and resilient woman like her be frightened by a homeless guy? There must be another reason!
