Chapter 482
After slowly finishing his meal, he said to Cornelia with a smug face. “All done! What’s next on the
menu?”
The street food scene was brimming with choices, and Cornelia wanted to try each one of them. But
the most intriguing for her was fried grasshoppers, a local delicacy that many tourists shy away from
She had heard before that Woodpiners have a taste for fried grasshoppers. While many people find
this horrifying, Cornelia was itching to give
it a go

“You up for a taste” Comelia asked
Ignoring how gross it might look a lot of these food stalls displayed their food openly, with no cover.
Dust from the ground could have landed on them, how could Marcus have an appetite” But seeing
Cornelia so excited, he couldn’t let her down, “Sure.”
Cornelia ran over and ordered a plate of fried grasshoppers, “Let’s sit inside first. We can leave after
eating”
“Sure” Marcus said
The place was packed, with no vacant tables. Cornelia spotted a four–seater with only two people and
hurried over to ask, “Excuse me, are these seats taken?”
The woman said, “Yes”
The man said. “No”
Clearly, the woman wasn’t keen on sharing But with no other seats available, Cornelia didn’t have a

She wiped down the table and chairs with a sanitizing wipe and called Marcus over, “President Hartley,

The shop was small, and tall Marcus looked like a giant inside, giving off an intense aura. The girl
sharing the table was all set to complain, but the sight of Marcus stopped her dead in her tracks.

The woman retorted, “So, you can ogle pretty girls but I can’t look at handsome guys?”
The man stayed silent while the woman got even bolder, “I must’ve been blind to marry a bum like you.
Even for dates, you can only afford to bring me to this cheap dump”
The man kept his head down and ignored her. The woman got even angrier at the lack of response,
“You never listen when I talk to you.”
The man finally lost it. “You’re always calling me useless, what do you want me to say?”
The woman glanced over at Cornelia and Marcus. “Can’t you learn from other men? Look at how they
treat their wives
The man also looked over and saw that they had only ordered a small plate of grasshoppers, nothing
else. Only Comelia was eating while Marcus was just watching
The man felt he was better than Marcus. At least he had ordered two bowls of soup and a dish of stir–
fry
