Chapter 435

Comelia got spooked by the sudden misunderstanding, and instinctively denied it, “When did I ever say I liked kids?”

Comelia didn’t like kids, and Marcus couldn’t care less. He didn’t marry her to have kids, “If you don’t want them, then just don’t have

them.”

Actually, he isn’t too keen on kids either. He was afraid they’d go through a horrible childhood like his, that would leave an indelible

mark.

Zack muttered from the side, “Whether Nelly has kids or not is between her and her husband. It’s none of their boss‘ business, right?”

Marcus ignored him completely, and turned to Cornelia, “Cornelia, ride with me to dinner. I’ll have my driver take your car back to your place.”

Abigail asked, “What about me?”

Since Marcus brought Leonardo along, then he definitely expected him to be of use at crucial moments. Leonardo chimed in, “Abigail, if you don’t mind, how about riding with me?”

Leonardo might not be as good looking as Marcus, but compared to most average joes, he was quite the hunk.

If it wasn’t for Marcus being there, Abigail would’ve hit on him ages ago, “Okay, I guess I can slum it and ride in Mr. Wilson’s car.”

Leonardo responded, “Thank you, Abigail.”

Marcus opened the car door for Cornelia and let her sit in the passenger seat. After she settled in, Marcus all of a sudden leaned in, which freaked Cornelia out, “President Hartley, what are you doing?”

Marcus was originally planning on buckling her seatbelt for her, but seeing her so scared, he gave up, “Buckle up.”

Cornelia hurriedly put on her seatbelt, “I’m buckled up.”

“Good.” Marcus straightened up, his gaze flicking towards the flowers not too far away.

Abigail got into Leonardo’s car, and Zack grumbled while driving his own car, “That’s just not right. These two women ditched me so

fast.”

About half an hour later, they arrived at La Lumière.

As Marcus was looking for a parking spot, Cornelia got a call from Hilary, the head of their company’s PR department, “Ms. Stewart, someone took a picture of President Hartley and his wife and posted it online. It’s spreading like wildfire. Initially. President Hartley had the PR department announce his marriage, but now with this picture, we’re not sure if the woman in the picture is his wife or what President Hartley plans to do about it. I wanted to consult with you first.”

Marcus had always been so protective of his wife that even she, his ever–present assistant, had never met her. And yet, someone managed to snap a picture of the two of them?

Her sharp business instincts told Cornelia that there was more to this than met the eye, “What does the picture look like?”
