On the other hand, Linda had doubt written all over her face.“Cordelia, look at that nurse’s uniform. Why is it different from the other nurses?“Her dress is too short! Was she really here to dress your husband in his ward in such a short dress?“No way. I must get to the bottom of it!”“Linda…” Cordelia was unsure whether to laugh or to cry. “What else was she here for if it wasn’t to dress him? Stop being ridiculous!”She usually would not overthink.Even if someone was interested in Marcus, he would reject them.She had full confidence in her husband when it came to his loyalty.“You’re amazing in everything, but you’re so slow when it comes to this!” Linda complained softly. She peeped at Zennie’s back again and secretly memorized the nurse’s figure and face.As the two of them entered the ward, Cordelia placed the thermos with food on the table. Then, she went over to check on Marcus.“How are you feeling today? Does it still hurt?”“Do you think I’m so weak?!” Marcus
It was surprising that Cordelia could get used to living with such a man!Linda frowned slightly. At that moment, Cordelia happened to return. She was holding a bouquet of flowers.“I saw this at a florist next to the car park.” She smiled brightly. “The ward will only look lively with some flowers. I can’t believe I was so busy before that I only remembered to buy flowers now!”She found a glass bottle and put the flowers in. She then placed it at the window.Marcus’ eyes instantly became gentle as soon as he saw her, and he held her tiny hand softly.Linda found an excuse and left immediately. She did not want to be a mega third-wheel there!Cordelia blushed. She retracted her hand and stared at him with her bright eyes.“You didn’t shower yesterday, right? Let me wipe you.”She turned around and left right away. She soon came back with a pail of hot water.She was the one who had been wiping Marcus throughout his stay in the hospital. She twisted the hot towel and lifted hi
“Oh, so you’re Dr. Stafford?” Linda quickly retracted her hand that was still shaking his. “Cordelia and Marcus’ matchmaker?”Seth did not notice the subtle change of emotion in her eyes. Not only that, but he had been under the impression that he had done a great job in matchmaking the couple—he had made a beautiful marriage happen.He tidied his coat. With a little pride in his voice, he looked at her with a smile. “It’s me. Ha, I didn’t help much. They’re destined to be together. I merely—”“You didn’t help?” Linda interrupted him and raised her voice. “You sure are humble, Dr. Stafford!”Seth frowned upon realizing something was off about her.“Dr. Stafford, you’re a doctor! Saving lives is your job, right? Why do I feel like you’re like those nosy ladies who have nothing to do, trying to matchmake everyone they know?“Forget that you were matchmaking... You should’ve gotten her a good man!” Linda could not help but vent her spleen. “You got Cordelia to marry Marcus. Weren’t
“That’s right! The Jenner Group is one of the best in the industry. Our company is nothing. It’s amazing that we can get a share of your achievement!”“Don’t say that.” Yelena looked at them, smiling. “You’re too kind. My dad actually told me before I came that this collaboration would be training for me. After all, I’ll take over the family business in the future. If I made any mistakes at all, I ask for your forgiveness!”The entire meeting room fell into silence.Cordelia sensed everyone’s stares and secretly scoffed. What Yelena was saying was that she wanted everyone to know that she would inherit the Jenner Group. An illegitimate daughter like her would be excluded.Although she was also a Jenner, she would get nothing at all!If that were the case, she might suffer in the company in the future. These people usually treated their employees according to their social status. If she lost the Jenner Group’ support, she would also lose the respect of the company.Cordelia took a
Upon hearing this, Dwayne Adler from the marketing department gestured at his men.Then, Yelena looked at Cordelia with a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “I remember that you’re very good at serving and entertaining other people, right, Ms. Jenner? So, can you do me a favor and bring me a cup of tea?”Everyone turned around and looked at Cordelia.Apparently, the conflict between the legitimate and illegitimate daughter could never be resolved. Cordelia stood up and looked at her before walking toward the pantry without any expression.David’s eyelids were twitching. He was covered in a cold sweat when he thought of someone telling Josiah and Fredric to merge the two companies.When he was about to stand up and stop Cordelia, something popped up in his mind again. ‘Maybe this is just a coincidence? Maybe both companies had the intention to merge. It just happened to be at the moment of Cordelia's incident…’In any case, Cordelia’s background was a myth, but ever
Cordelia walked up to Yelena silently and grabbed her arm. Yelena was about to shout at her, but Cordelia shut her up with a glare. Cordelia rarely adopted a stern face, and she was no longer the pushover she used to be. Yelena's heart skipped a beat. The corner of her lips twitched, and she didn't dare to make even the slightest sound.People always said that spouses would influence each other in terms of their behavior. Could it be that after marrying Marcus, Cordelia had finally shed away her gentle nature and become as ruthless as Marcus was? “What are you trying to do?”Cordelia pitched her voice low, and her eyes were filled with menace as she stared fixedly at Yelena. “Sis, I represent the company, and you represent our father and the Jenners. Are you trying to disgrace our father by being so unreasonable?”Yelena looked at her in astonishment and clenched her fists tightly.“Are you aware of the consequences if that cup of tea landed on me just now? There are so many
Smiling gently, Marcus replied, “We’re going to the Regalia Hotel.”Cordelia gulped, and the corner of her lips twitched.‘Regalia Hotel again? Every time we go out to eat, he will certainly go to the Regalia Hotel.’However, since he had just recovered from his injuries, Cordelia figured that she should just go along with him.After Cordelia changed her clothes, they went to the hotel.Many people were going in and out of the Regalia Hotel, but strangely enough, nobody sat at the table near the window.As soon as they entered the hotel, the waiter enthusiastically led them to the table beside the window.“Honey, isn’t this where we sat for the last two times?” Cordelia said, “They're so attentive. We've only been here twice, and they already know where we always sit.”Marcus smiled but did not say anything. He glanced at the menu and handed it to the waiter while exchanging glances.The waiter could recognize Marcus. Knowing that he had a great relationship with Josiah, he hu
Marcus’ eyes glowed as he looked at Cordelia, interested in what she said.“Our own business?”“That’s right! If we can do some investment or side hustle after work, it can bring us some income too!” Cordelia said in a serious manner, “Even a small store or a stall will do. At least, it's counted as our own business as well. If we're the boss, we can make all the decisions we want. Don't you think that's great?”“What kind of business would you invest in if you had the money?”Cordelia fell silent and thought for a while, looking like a girl dreaming of her future.“If I have a lot of money, I want to buy a shopping mall! People will come to my shopping mall every day and buy from me! Hehe! But I think this is impossible, so a more realistic goal is to save money to open a small coffee shop with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a small courtyard full of irises. Then, I'll sit behind the counter, grinding coffee and baking a few pastries. The entire coffee shop will be filled wit
