Chapter 277
Marcus initially intended to say that but at the last moment, he changed it to, âSoonâ
Patricia exclaimed, âThatâs wonderfull You have no idea how much Iâve longed for this household to have a mistess used to think I might not live long mough to witness it, but now there is finally hope Having watched Marcus grow up, Patricia regarded him as her own child. She knew that he had been alone all these years, bearing the weight of everything on his own, without anyone truly understanding him
Now, with someone who can accompany him, Patricia was filled with joy
When Marcus saw Patricias tears, he couldnât help but shed his own âThis is a good thing why are you crying?â
âThese are tears of emotion Im happy for youâ Patricia wiped as
her tears really want to meet the lady soon I want to see what she looks likeâ
I had been a long time since Patricia spoke so many words to him Marcus could sense that Patricia, like his grandmother, genuinely wished for his happiness in marriage
Marcus also considered Patricia as his own family Apart from his grandmother, Patricia was probably the person closest to him âYou have alieady met her.â
Patricia and Briana both widened ther eyes in surprise âWhen did this happen?â
Marcus glanced upstairs and replied, âCornelia is my lawful wifeâ
âI knowâ He had told her that his wife was also named Cornelia, but Patricia quickly caught his drift, she also locked up at the second floor. âWait, Marc You mean..?â
Patrica asked anxiously. âThe Cornelia whoâs living with us now is your wife, Cornelia?â
Marcus said, âDo you think I would let some random woman stay overnight at my place?â
âThatâs true. Aside from Cornelia, youâve never let any other woman stay the nightâ Patricia was overjoyed, âOh Marc, this is wonderful, When Cornelia first came over, I thought you two made quite a pair fantasized about how great it would be if the was your wife, and now my dream has come true.â
Marcus could tell that Patricia was genuinely fond of Cornelia Whenever Cornelia visited, Patricia would not only chat happily with her but also prepare some snacks for her, âComelia doesnât know about this yet, you have to keep it hushâhushâ
âShe doesnât know? How can she not know? Patricia realized she was asking too many questions and quickly reassured him, âI wonât spill the beans. I wonât say a word until you give me the green lightâ
Although Patricia promised not to say anything her enthusiasm towards Cornelia upon waking up made one question her intentions. Even Briana, who was usually slow to pick up on things, noticed something amiss âPatricia, whatâs going on? Why do you follow Cornelia wherever she goes?â
âYou like Comelia, and I like her tooâ Patricia walked up to Cornelia with a smile âNelly, what would you like to eat tonight?â
Caught off guard by Patriciaâs warm demeanor, Cornelia wasnât sure how to interact with her âPatriciu, I have a good appetite Anything for dinner is fineâ
âAlright, you carry on with your tasks. I wonât disturb you any longer Patricia slowly walked away She had always found Cornelia incredibly beautiful and charming and now knowing she was the mistress of the house, her admiration grew even stronger.
Once Patricia left, Cornelia immediately began researching the items to be auctioned at the prestigious auction tomorrow night, including jewelry, worldârenowned paintings, and even a yet toâbeârevealed mysterious
Herm
Among the jewelry was a necklace previously worn by a late international superstar, which had been acquired by a mysterious billionaire for a staggering price of $30 million and was now valued at $40 million.
Cornelia knew that Marcus had once spent $30 million on a necklace for the presidentâs wife. Since he wasnât someone who idolized celebrities, he probably wouldnât be interested in this particular necklace.
As for the ancient paintings, Comelia recalled the precious ones in Marcus study it was possible that he would show interest in one of those ancient artworks.
