Chapter 1011
Cornelia was pissed off, ranting and raving, but Marcus only caught one sentence.
She said the only person she cared about was him. That was all he needed to hear. The rest didnât matter
He reached out, cupped her face gently. âDo you really think I give a damn if Dylan really betrayed me?â
This only made Comelia angrier. She turned her head away refusing to look at him, âMaybe Iâm overthinkingâ
Marcus turned her face back to him, forcing her to look at him. âCornelia, youâre the only one I care about too.â
The unexpected confession left Cornelia flustered. She blushed, avoiding his gaze. But Marcus wouldnât let her. He leaned in closer to her.
Cornelia thought he was going to kiss her again and instinctively closed her eyes. However, she didnât get the kiss she expected, just heard Marcusâ low chuckle.
Cornelia opened her eyes, her face flushed, glaring at him unhappily, âWhat are you laughing at? Stop laughing!â
Marcus pulled her into his arms, âYouâre such a bossy boots!â
Cornelia, âI am bossy. Are you not happy? Then bite me!â
Marcus did just that, biting her soft face. He bit a bit hard, leaving a circle of teeth marks.
Cornelia became angry, mimicked him, and bit him, too. Because of their height difference, she couldnât reach his face, so she bit his lip. She bit hard, breaking his lip and the taste of blood quickly filled the space between them.
Afte, Cornelia felt a bit regretful, âDid I hurt you?â
Marcus, âIâm not in pain!â
Cornelia, âHow can it not hurt?â
He was a normal person, not made of iron.
Marcus smiled, âCompared to emotional pain, this physical pain is nothingâ
The emotional pain he was referring to must be about Brennen, what the hell did that bastard say to him?
Cornelia felt heartbroken hearing this but didnât ask more. If he didnât want to discuss it now, asking was useless. When he was ready, he would tell her.
She took his hand, âLetâs go home.â
âWhat a shameless hussy.â A neighbor coming towards them gave Cornelia a sidelong glance. On recognizing her, the words became even harsher.
âA girl should be reserved Making out with a man in broad daylight is absolutely shameless. If my daughter dared to do such a thing, I would break her legs with her father.â
Cornelia didnât want to bother with this person, but she kept crossing the line, âYour mother left you a few months after you were born, and your father died young. Youâve grown up without a mother. Now that your grandmother who raised you is also gone, I wouldnât be surprised by any shameless thing you do.â
Cornelia wasnât going to let this woman insult her, âWhatâs wrong with me hugging my husband? Are we affecting you?â
The middleâaged woman blanched, then haughtily retorted, âWho knows if heâs really your husband? After all, youâve tried to seduce other womenâs husbands before. We donât know where you got that video from, but you got Orlando sent to jailâ¦..â.
The middleâaged woman was still ranting when she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
