Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 20

Before Cordelia could reject the suggestion, she was pulled out of the house by Marcus. She was silent the whole journey, as she quickly thought about what they could afford to eat on her minuscule salary.

She sneaked a peek at Marcus. The man had been broke and impoverished, so he probably had no idea about Jangasas’ hotels and restaurants.

Given his budget standard, she might be able to satisfy him with some street food. Some stalls provided limitless staples too, so he would definitely be full.

Cordelia smiled with her head lowered.

She had been frugal since they had gotten married, picking cheap groceries whenever she shopped. Despite that, she had once heard an old servant of the Jenners say that young married couples feared nothing but the disappearance of passion. It would be helpful to romance each other occasionally.

In that case… she thought they could be carefree for once today, so she would buy him a meal outside.

When Cordelia looked up again, though, she realized that she had come to the busiest street and stopped right in front of Regalia Hotel with Marcus.

“We’ll eat here.” The man sounded as nonchalant as though he had just picked a cabbage at the market.

“What did you say?” Cordelia gasped.

“I said, we’ll eat here.” Marcus chortled with a squint. “I think it looks decent.”

Cordelia could not help feeling her breath catch in her throat as she instinctively clutched her purse. This was the most expensive five-star hotel in Jangasas, and she had never even looked at it once whenever she passed by. Her pathetic salary would hardly pay for an appetizer if they were to eat there!

Marcus tugged her inside, where servers bowed to them politely from both sides. The manager came over to welcome them, smiling professionally. “Welcome.”

“Marcus!” Cordelia yanked on the man’s arm.

“What’s the matter?”

“We…”

‘We don’t have enough money.’
