The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Cedrick chose the preparation service. When presented with pickup or delivery options, he selected delivery. While filling the address form, he wrote his company’s information.

Lucille couldn’t possibly see the details from this distance, but Maricela’s breathy question carried clearly:

“Why are you putting the company address?”

He set down the pen, his tone firm. “It must be delivered there. I’ll list my personal number and sign for it myself. I need to watch you take it. Knowing you, you’d be inconsistent without supervision.”

Maricela pouted and coquettishly squirmed.

He really is the domineering CEO!

…Personally signing for deliveries now…

Lucille remembered one suddenly chilly day when she’d worried he lacked warm clothes. She considered delivering some but didn’t dare go to his office. Mylee was unavailable, so she contemplated using a courier service.

Even then, she hesitated to decide alone. She called him to ask whether to provide his number to the courier or-

She only got as far as “or“-not even voicing “the receptionist or secretarial department“— before he coldly cut in:

“My personal number to a courier?

What were you thinking?”

Back then, she understood: he was a successful, lofty CEO guarding his privacy. His number wasn’t for casual sharing.

Yet now, he willingly wrote down that private number for a delivery service and planned to sign for it personally.

When someone talks about principles, it’s really about preferences. No principles at all.

Signing personally wasn’t enough. Cedrick asked the nurse about dietary restrictions.

He knows quite a bit…

The nurse deferred to the doctor.

He instructed Maricela, “Wait here. I’ll go ask again.”

Maricela nodded.

Cedrick went in.

The nurse prepared another herbal compress for Maricela and told her, “This is for external use. First, massage your abdomen with this ointment for a few minutes, then apply this herbal compress.”

Maricela looked troubled. “This? I have to massage? How do I do it myself?”

Lucille heard this and thought, great, Cedrick is a massage expert.

The nurse said, “You can do it yourself. If it’s too awkward, you can have your husband do it.”

“Oh…” Maricela took the herbal compress.

“What’s wrong?”

Cedrick came back.

The nurse explained about the herbal compress again.

“Okay, got it.”

Cedrick took the herbal compress from Maricela. “Let’s go. I just asked the doctor, there are quite a few dietary restrictions. No cold or raw foods, and even sweets should be eaten sparingly.”

“What? That won’t do! I want to drink milk tea and eat cake, I can’t stand it for a day.”

Maricela pouted as she walked.

“Eat sparingly, not forbidden. Control yourself, this isn’t up to you.”

His tone turned serious. He shook the herbal compress in his hand. “This? The nurse said once a day? Before bed?”

“Mm–hmm.”

Maricela nodded.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Cedrick and Maricela left the examination room. Lucille thought about those hands massaging her leg yesterday, and tonight they would be massaging Maricela’s abdomen. She felt extremely disgusted.

Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. It was Cedrick calling.
