Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

What the old lady said confused Cordelia.

She looked at her with doubt. She wanted to ask but was startled by Marcus,
who was next to her.

The man looked grim, his eyes ferocious, as if he could start a storm.

Cordelia held his hand softly and whispered close to him, “Perhaps she’s so old
that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about... Don't take it personally.”
Never had they thought the old lady had sharp ears that she heard what she
said. She smirked.

“You're so kind, young lady. You'll be rewarded for your kindness.”

“Thanks, granny.” Cordelia revealed a courteous smile. “My husband is actually
nice. It’s just that he looks a little scary. He's too serious sometimes, which is why
he is often misunderstood.”

“Hah, you want to look into your marriage, right?”

Cordelia quickly nodded.

The old lady peeped at the lines on her palm and slowly took two red string
bracelets out of her pocket.

The bracelet made from a chaste tree was striking. There was a cute bell
hanging on each knot. They would make a crisp ring whenever one touched
them.

“Tie this around your wrist.” The old lady taught her word by word. “No matter
how far away you two are separated, you'll know where each other is when the
bells ring.”

“What nonsense is that...” Seth frowned and mumbled softly, “If there's
something this magical, then we can get rid of our phones!”

Cordelia was stunned. She turned her face to smile at the old lady. “Granny, I
won't be too far away from my husband. We're always together!”

“You'll be separated one day.”

Cordelia’s face turned pale, and she held Marcus’ hand tightly.

“But...” The old lady looked into the distance and said while smiling, “You two will
live happily ever after eventually.”

Only the frown on Cordelia’s face relaxed slowly. The faint dimples appeared
again.

Marcus looked moody. He squinted as he looked at the old lady and then took
Cordelia away.

“Hey, old lady!” Seth interrupted. “Are you confused because you're old? But
what you said at the end was pretty great. Haha!”

“Hey, you're leaving?” The old lady suddenly called out to them.

They stopped walking. They saw her losing her unfathomable stance earlier. She
had her hands on her hips, staring with her eyes wider than a camel bell.

“I told you so much, and I even gave you guys the string bracelets! Aren't you
going to pay me?”

“Wow... You're a scammer, alright.” Seth was not sure whether to laugh or cry.
“How much do you want, old lady?”

The old lady looked serious now and merely said, “It's up to you.”

Seth was dying from laughing.

Marcus looked calm. He took a $ 10 note out of his pocket and handed it to her.
The old lady smiled and looked at Cordelia in a cryptic manner before leaving
happily.

Since then, they stayed silent as they walked.

Seth could not hold back and took the initiative to break the silence. “Don’t mind
what she said! I've been to many temples. There are always scammers like this
at the door, deceiving people. You can’t believe what she said! You guys will
definitely live happily ever after!”

Linda peeped at him. She showed approval in her eyes.

He blushed and scratched his head shyly.

Cordelia smiled and kept holding Marcus’ hand tightly. “Thanks, Dr. Stafford. I
don't really care, to be honest. Moreover, what she said was pretty great. She
even gave us a beautiful red string bracelet.”

She turned her face to look at Marcus, who was still serious. He was as cold as
ice and intimidating.

She knew he usually would not believe in that mumbo jumbo, let alone tying the
bracelet around his wrist.
