“Linda, you don’t understand,” Cordelia said with a smile. “He’s actually quite nice to me…”
“Nice?” Linda arched a brow, looking skeptical.
Cordelia told her about returning the wedding dress the day after their wedding, getting humiliated by the sales assistant, and then having Marcus buy the most expensive wedding dress in the boutique out of anger before making the sales assistant measure her on her knees.
She had thought that the man was shady, egoistic, materialistic and had anger issues. Most importantly, he was wasting Cordelia’s savings!
“Cordelia, if you think that him standing up for you at the bridal boutique and giving you some family heirloom is considered being nice, you’re too naïve and you have no idea what marriage is!
“A marriage requires effort from both people—not you working your *ss off here while he reaps the fruit you sow, idling away back at home!”
Linda poked Cordelia’s head, frustrated by her compliance. She was a good girl, a little too nice, even. Once someone was the slightest bit good to her, she would remember it for life and repay it forever.
Someone like her meeting someone who had gone to prison, like Marcus, was akin to an innocent little bunny getting eaten alive!
“A man like him doesn’t make anything. He only spends his wife’s money! Is he even a man?” Linda added.
Cordelia pulled a straight face immediately. Her eyes were not sparkling anymore as she looked at her sternly.
“I forbid you to say that about my husband!”
