Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 37

When Marcus was 16, he had already been accepted by Walton, the top of the world’s three best business schools. He was also the heir of the Hamertons. If he had not conspired against and encountered the plane crash, he would be the decision-maker of the Hamertons by now.

Marcus could only smile in silence in response to Cordelia’s questioning gaze.

The girl pouted and wondered if Marcus had met some girl he did not end up together with when he was 16. After all, people said that men could hardly forget their first love. He was quite excited when he brought up the topic but stopped halfway. It was obvious he did not want her to know.

Other than someone he could not have, there was no better explanation for his action.

Disappointment flashed in Cordelia’s eyes. Since he did not want to tell her, she would not ask either. Despite that, the matter left a sour taste in her mouth.

She quietly went back to the bedroom to change new sheets and get another set of sheets for the couch in the living room.

Marcus was stunned for a few seconds. Realizing that something was wrong, he grabbed her wrist. “You… Why are you setting the sheets on the couch again?”

“What’s wrong with that?” Cordelia turned to look at him.

“Everything!” He tried hard to make himself sound calm. “Didn’t you say that I’ll sleep in the room tonight? Aren’t you going to… with me…”

“My cousin’s beaten up, and you have the mind to think about that?” Cordelia glared at him. In addition to being angry about “whoever Marcus did not get to have back then”, her attitude was curt.

“Carter won’t be able to go home tonight for sure. Who’s taking care of him if I don’t keep him around?”

Marcus did not know what Cordelia had been thinking about, so he only thought that her shift in attitude was… kind of fast.

“He’s staying tonight? Is the couch for him?”

“For me.” Cordelia wore a blank face.

“What did you say?” Marcus widened his eyes. “You’re not asking me to—”

“Yeah.” Cordelia was expressionless. “You and Carter take the room. I’ll just sleep on the couch.”

“There’s only one bed in the room!”

“It’s fine. You two will fit.” Cordelia pushed the pillow to him. “You can even talk about ‘things that only men would tell men’.”

Marcus was rendered speechless by the retort and took a few deep breaths.
