Chapter 1068
After he finished his meal, he began to serve food onto her plate, âIf thereâs something you want to eat, let me know Iâll get it for youâ
Comelia realized something. âAre you tasting my food for me? Are you worried that Zavier might polson it?â
Zavier was a madman. He could do anything without shocking anyone. Marcus wasnât afraid of him, but he didnât want Cornelia in danger.
Marcus handed Comelia more food, âEat up, donât overthink.â
Cornelia lost her appetite. She looked at him, her eyes welling up with tears, âIf he really did poison the food and you ate it, have you thought about what would happen to you?â
Marcus replied, âArenât I fine right now?â
Comelia said, âJeremy, you canât do this anymore.â
Marcus patted her head, âAlright.â
Maybe there was no future for him and her anymore. In the future, even getting a glimpse of her might be a luxury.
Comelia said, âWhen Zavier asks you for a drink later, be careful. Donât drink too much, itâs bad for your stomach.
Marcus replied, âSure.â
âComelia.â Skylerâs clear and loud voice came from behind Cornelia..
Comelia immediately turned around and saw Skyler, whom she hadnât seen in a long time. She immediately ran to Skyler and hugged her tightly, âSkyler, Iâm so glad to see you again!â
Skyler hugged Comelia back tightly, smelling her neck, âIt feels so good to hug you again!â
Cornelia said, âMe too.â
Skyler let go of Cornelia and looked at her up and down, âComelia, you look thinner than the last time I saw you. Your complexion is not good either. Has President Hartley been treating you badly?â
Cornelia said, âPresident Hartley has been good to me. Something happened at home
Skyler asked, âWhat happened? Can I help?â
Skyler was an important friend to Comelia so she didnât want to hide anything from her, âMy grandmother passed away recently. Also, I found my biological sister.â
Skyler asked, âYou found your biological sister?â
Cornelia said, âYes, my biological sister. My mother had to leave my father when she was pregnant with her. My father didnât know my mother was pregnant, so no one in my family knew about her.â
Skyler said, âWell, thatâs good news.â
Cornelia replied, âYes.â
Skyler wanted to say more, but Zavier suddenly pulled Skyler into his arms, âBabe, Iâve told you, you canât hug anyone other than me.â
Skylerâs eyes dimmed quickly, but she forced a smile, âCornelia, letâs eat first.â
Cornelia noticed the sadness in Skylerâs eyes but didnât say anything.
Zavier, holding Skyler, sat down. He either intentionally or unintentionally took off the scarf around Skylerâs neck.
Cornelia glanced up and saw numerous red marks on Skylerâs neck, which shocked and scared her. To avoid embarrassing Skyler, Cornelia quickly looked away, pretending she didnât see anything
Skyler quickly put the scarf back on, only for Zavier to pull it back off. He turned to Marcus, âMarc, my wife and I are finally reunited. Do you have anything to say to
Us?â
Marcus replied, âWhat would you like me to say?â
Zavier retorted, âCanât you say something to please me on your own?â
Marcus served more food onto Corneliaâs plate, Just focus on your meal. Donât mind them.â
After saying this, he felt as if his heart was struck.
He didnât understand why, but ever since he entered this courtyard, his heart fell unusually heavy, as if something was slowly corroding him.
