Chapter 1069
Zavier noticed Marcus was too busy passing food to Cornelia to respond to him, which ticked him off. He said, âMarc, Iâm talking to you and youâre ignoring me, Iâm seriously pissed off.â
Marcus tried to suppress his discomfort, reaching out to grab Comelia, wanting to say something but afraid he might spit out blood if he opened his mouth. Comelia seemed to sense Marcus was feeling off. She leaned in and asked in a soft voice, âAre you okay? Are you feeling unwell?â
Marcus shook his head, subconsciously gripping Corneliaâs hand tighter.
Zavier saw them whispering to each other and his wife fully intent on avoiding him. The stark contrast filled him with jealousy, âCornelia, do you know where your real mother is?â
If they were going to ruin his meal, he sure as hell wouldnât let them eat in peace. As expected, Corneliaâs attention was immediately drawn to him, âIf youâre willing to tell me, Iâll listen. If you donât want to, I wonât force you.â
Zavier laughed, âBeg me. If you beg me, I might tell you everythingâ
Comelia said, âAlright, I beg you. Please tell me about my mother.â
Zavier was surprised that Comelia would beg him so directly. But he had no intention of satisfying Corneliaâs request, âIf youâre begging me, you need to do it sincerelyâ
Comelia asked, âWhat do you want me to do? Do you want me to kneel and beg?â
Zavier laughed, âThatâs not out of the question.â
Comelia said, âI can kneel and beg you, but how do I know you really know about my mother? If youâre lying to me, wouldnât I have knelt for nothing?â
Zavier retorted, âThe decision is mine to make, and my word is law. Kneel and beg me, or youâll never find out about your mother.â
Before Cornelia could respond, Skyler got angry first, âZavier, donât push it too far.â
Seeing Skyler protecting Cornelia filled Zavier with rage, but he calmly put more food onto Skylerâs plate, âEat up, darling.â
Skyler glanced at the food on her plate, and despite feeling nauseated, she obediently ate. She knew if she didnât, Zavier wouldnât let her off the hook and it would create an awkward situation for everyone.
Despite Skyler eating, Zavier was still not satisfied. He knew Skyler didnât want to eat his food.
Even if she didnât want to, she still ate the food he served, because the two people sitting opposite her were the ones she really cared about.
In her eyes, he was just a nobody.
This realization infuriated Zavier more
He redirected his anger at Cornelia, âSo Cornelia, are you going to kneel or not?â
Before Cornelia could respond, Skyler whispered something in Zavierâs ear only audible to the two of them. Tâm back, what are you still doing?â
Zavier grabbed Skyler by the chin, bent down and bit her lip hard. Only after tasting her blood did he let her go, âYouâre back, but your heart isnât.â
Skyler chuckled. âDo you still want my heart?â
She had already given him her heart once. But he didnât cherish it.
He brutally trampled on her sincerity.
He made her heart grow cold, even dead. And now he still wanted her heart.
What a load of bull!
