Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 83

Marcus’ expression was dark throughout the entire journey as he stamped his feet firmly on the accelerator as hard as he could.

There were several times Fredric felt like he was going to fly out of the window, and it was only now he understood what the centripetal and centrifugal force that he had learned in high school physics meant.

As an ear-grating noise sprang into the air, Marcus stopped the car in front of the police station.

Marcus marched into the police station with a stern and gloomy look on his face. After he entered the police station, he glanced at the crowd coldly. Then, from a door that was left slightly ajar, he saw two female police officers come out with Cordelia in between them.

“Lia!” he shouted, causing Cordelia to raise her head and look toward him.

The moment they saw each other, she could no longer hold her tears back. She threw herself into his arms and grasped tightly at his clothes. His familiar scent wafted into her nose, and she felt safe in his arms. She had been suppressing her emotions the entire time, but she just wanted to cry out loud right now. However, she held herself back and sobbed quietly in his arms.

Marcus patted her back gently and comforted the woman, who was trembling with fear in his arms, with a low voice. He collected her disheveled hair behind her ears, and when he saw her pale face and reddened eyes, his heart felt so painful, as if someone had stabbed it with a knife.

“Don’t worry. I’m here.”

Cordelia slowly calmed herself down and nodded lightly.

After Fredric finished everything, he approached them. Marcus stopped him with a gaze when he was about to say something.

Fredric stuck his tongue out and retreated to the side. Looking at the two love birds in front of him, he just wanted to laugh but knew he could not do that. In the end, he could only clear his throat twice.

Cordelia snapped back to reality and pulled herself away from Marcus. Turning around to look at Fredric, she asked, “He is…”

“He’s Mr. Constable I told you about. He’s a lawyer,” replied Marcus. “He specializes in providing legal assistance to inmates in prisons.”

Fredric’s eyes opened widely upon hearing what Marcus said. ‘Since when did I become a tree hole for those inmates in prison?’ he shouted inwardly.

Cordelia offered him a thankful gaze and nodded.

“Don’t worry, honey. Mr. Constable will help you to prove your innocence.” After saying that, he looked at Fredric. “Right?”

Fredric was rendered speechless. He let out a few dry laughs and nodded.

“The bail procedures have been completed. Let's get out of here first and find a place to talk.”

“Okay.”

Marcus held Cordelia’s hand and walked toward the entrance. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. He squatted down and scooped Cordelia up from the ground into his arms. Leaning on his firm chest and listening to his strong heartbeat, Cordelia had the urge to cry again.

“Honey, how did you know what happened?” She sobbed. “It happened so suddenly, and you were undergoing specialized training. I thought I couldn’t get hold of you.”

Marcus carefully placed her into the car. He helped her to put on her seat belt and smiled at her gently.

Fredric drove the car. When he saw the scene at the back of the car through the rear mirror, he shouted inwardly, ‘Oh gosh. He just won’t let go of any chance to show his affection in front of everyone.’

God knew how crazy he had been and how fast he had run on the road after learning what had happened to her.

The good thing was that he did not know how to pilot a plane. Otherwise, he might have even broken the world record.

“Actually, the police contacted me, not him.” Fredric chimed in, saving Marcus from his predicament. “They have my contact number since I was your lawyer when I helped you in your property lawsuit. As such, whether it's you or Marcus, once something happens, the police department will contact me first. And I was the one who told Marcus about what happened to you.”

“I see.” Cordelia smiled. “Mr. Constable, I’m sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused you.”

“It's alright. It’s a lawyer’s duty to help other people solve their problems. Otherwise, we’ll lose our job.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
