Chapter 268
âYou think I give a damn about this chump change? Marcus was ticked off by her words. Then, something else stirred him up even more. When she raised her hand, he saw blood on her palm She mustâve scratched herself in her heated state
He quickly grabbed her hand, âWhatâs wrong?â
Cornelia didnât feel any pain She was so flustered she tried to pull her hand back. Im fine*
âSay youâre fine one more time. I dam youâ Marcus held her hand tight, his voice stern, âFirst, were getting Dr. Dawson to look at your wound, then you can talk with Justinâ
Cornelia wanted to protest, but seeing his grim expression, she held her tongue and obeyed.
Marcus arranged for Cornelia and Justinâs conversation to take place in a greenhouse located in the garden, where he thought the warm atmosphere would make Cornelia comfortable
He didnât accompany them was just Comelia and Justin in the greenhouse But he had a clear view of their every move from outside
Boana walked up to Marcus âBro, how can you just let Cornelia be with Justin like that? Heâs obviously bad news What if he hurts Comella?â
âShes mine. He wouldnât dare lay a finger on her Marcus turned to glance at Briana, feeling touched by his little sisterâs concern for Cornelia
Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea to keep Cornelia around, âIf youâre so fond of Camelia, why donât you find a way to make her stay?â
Briana replied, âI wish she could stay too. But she wants to go home I canât think of any reason to keep her here. Plus, this is your private space, and youâre very territorial. If I decide to keep Cornelia here and you ge pissed and kick us out, it would be really awkwardâ
Marcus replied âIm cool with you two staying Stay as long as you wantâ
âRealty Briana thought she had misheard. âBro, say it againâ
Hed repeat it as many times as it took to keep Comelia here. Im cool with you and Cornelia staying Stay as long as you want.â He said
âWhy are you suddenly being so chill?â Briana excitedly sprang to Marcus, giving him a big hug. âI get it, you finally realized you havenât been giving me enough attention these past few years and youâre trying to make up for it Marcus, I love you! Youâre the best!â
Marcus pulled her hands off his waist, âIm a married man, and youâre an adult. You canât keep hugging me like this?
Briana pouted in disagreement, âJust because youâre married doesnât mean youâre not my brother No matter how old I get, youâll always be my brother. Weâre blood, thatâs a bond thatâs set in stone the moment were bom Whatâs wrong with hugging you?â
Marcus replied. âIâm worried that your sisterâinâlaw might get jealousâ
