She was imitating Emily, holding his face, smooching him a few times.

Emily giggled happily.

“Don’t you think this is childish?” Brian suddenly appeared from beside some greenery a few steps away, looking at them with a disdainful face.

“What’s it to you if we’re childish?” Cornelia shot back.

Brian slowly walked towards them, staring at Cornelia, “I was gone for a bit and you’ve turned into a different person. Was your gentleness and cuteness

before all an act?”

“Yes, my previous gentleness was all an act. I did all these just to become a part of the Duran family and to get a share of the Duran’s wealth.” Cornelia retaliated.

Brian furrowed his eyebrows, “Why are you so fierce all of a sudden? What happened?”

Seeing Cornelia didn’t answer, Brian paused, then asked, “Did he bully you?”

“No.” Cornelia shoved Emily into his arms.

Brian took Emily from her, “He’s a bit old–fashioned, sticks to status and sometimes speaks harshly. But don’t mind it. You’re Augustine’s granddaughter, as long as Augustine treats you well and likes you, that’s all that matters.”

“I don’t care!” Cornelia retorted and stormed off, not wanting to deal with arıyone from the Duran family at the moment.

“What happened just now?” Brian asked Emily who was in his arms.

“Alfredo said a lot to her, all about her grandma.” Emily replied.

“Get to the point.” Brian urged.

“If I heard correctly, she’s Augustine’s biological granddaughter. Emily said.

“What?” Brian exclaimed and gave Emily an approving look, “Well done, keep it up. But don’t tell anyone else about this, I’ll confirm it myself.”

“What about the thing you promised me?” Emily queried.

“Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you, you little clever clogs!” Brian assured.

“Don’t call me a clever clogs!” Emily protested.

“You’re a clever clogs, why can’t I say it?” Brian teased.

“I won’t help you if you keep this up.” Emily threatened.

“Alright, I won’t say it.” Brian relented.

When Cornelia returned to her room, she didn’t expect to find Marcus there. He was still dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers, sitting elegantly on the single seater sofa, tablet in hand, seemingly reviewing some documents.

“Where’ve you been? He immediately looked up at her when he heard her.

“I want you to hold me. Cornelia walked towards him.

Marcus immediately pulled her into his arms, nuzzling her forehead with his chin, “Tell me, who upset you?”

“Who said I was upset?” Cornelia buried her face in his chest, greedily snuggling into him, inhaling his pleasant scent.

Marcus bent down and gently kissed her soft lips, whispering. “You come back wanting me to hold you, and your face full of hurt. Do I still need someone

else to tell me?”

“Something happened, but it’s not like anyone bullied me.” Cornelia murmured.

“What happened? Can you tell me about it?” Marcus asked.
