Marcus played with Cordelia’s long hair with a smile, seeing that she was a little down.
“What’s the matter?”
Cordelia sighed and chortled wryly.
“I don’t have any good idea to seek revenge from them for now,” she said softly. “I don’t want word about this matter to get out since it’s not exactly glorious. People like them get to live their lives like nothing happened after what they did, but I can’t do anything to them.
“I can only pretend nothing ever happened and endure it for now until the day I’m powerful enough to fight them and settle the score with them!”
Marcus chuckled lightly as he looked at her.
Cordelia was not a soft pushover. This woman was tough, clear with what she loved and hated, resilient, and patient. She would avenge if there was a grudge, and she was able to stay calm and help herself in a crisis. She even had the determination and courage to risk it all.
She was like a female version of him.
The corners of Marcus’ lips curled up high. The more he thought about it, the happier he was. This was what his woman should be like!
Since he had been conspired against, he had been holding back in patience, even changing his identity to live in Jangasas. It was all so he could defeat Matthew and his people one day.
He could endure it but was reluctant to let his woman go through such grievances.
“Darling, question.” He chuckled. “If you had superpowers, how would you take care of those who harmed you?”
“What?” Cordelia widened her eyes at him.
“We’re chatting anyway. Let your imagination run wild.” He looked at her. “Fantasize it. How would you punish them?”
Cordelia blinked and grinned innocently. “It’s not exactly a punishment. I just hope that they have their retribution, go through what I went through, and never ever appear before me!”
Marcus nodded and whispered next to her ear, “Got it.”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing.” He helped her lie back down. “You must be tired. Have a good sleep. I’ll get you some congee.”
