Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 57

Cordelia’s injury required rest, so Marcus took her back home to care for.

In the beginning, Cordelia was worried. Marcus did not know how to do house chores, and even cooking was a problem. Now that she was injured, the house would definitely be a mess.

Despite that, her eyes sparkled the moment Marcus carried her into the house.

Their home was clean and tidy. Everything was put in place, not looking any different than before she got hurt.

“Not bad, huh?” Marcus chuckled deeply.

His gaze at her was like a little boy who was waiting for the teacher to praise him.

Cordelia grinned. She had always thought that her husband was unpredictable, but all she saw was him browsing finance news in various foreign languages usually. She did not expect him to be able to handle housework as well!

A while later, Marcus served two dishes.

Cordelia tasted them and found that they were decent, just a little too much salt. However, she was already pleasantly surprised with how they turned out.

“I’ve always said that my husband is the best!” She looked up at him playfully. “Looks like me getting injured is a good thing. I get to do nothing and wait to be served!”

“Sure.” Marcus smiled with a cryptic gaze and replied in a slightly husky voice, “I can serve you well tonight too. What do you think?”

Cordelia blushed instantly as her heart thumped.

Marcus smiled at her and enjoyed his meal.

Cordelia could handle most of the activities, but taking a shower became an issue. Marcus offered to help her, but she rejected him right away.

The man chortled. “We’re already husband and wife, and you still mind? You’re inconvenienced by your leg now. It’s my duty to help you shower.”

Cordelia looked down in silence, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes.

Marcus did not force her upon seeing that she was genuinely nervous. Her eyes were cast down, and she bit her lips lightly. Her shyness, innocence, and anxiousness about sex, her embarrassed soft murmurs in front of him like she was playing hard-to-get… All those stripped him of his rationality and made him lose control.

Marcus narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Mm, go on.” He passed her a clean towel. “I’ll be at the door. Call me if you need anything.”

Cordelia nodded and darted into the bathroom.

Some time passed, and Marcus paced back and forth in front of the bathroom door since he was worried.
