Chapter 567
He wanted her to go home with him again, but she wasnât keen
Seeing her expression, Marcus assumed she was worried about the loss of income, âDonât worry, thereâs still a $500 daily pay for taking care of meâ
Without the hefty pay, she probably wouldnât agree. He could afford to pay her tens of thousands a day
Cornelia said, âAlright, no problemâ Who in the world didnât love money, right?
Five hundred dollars a day that was a grand in two days, two and a half grand in five days. That was what many people could earn in a couple of months
Marcus was speechless. He certainly found a moneyâloving girl. But thankfully, money was the least of his worries.
Marcus hated the hospital, but he wasnât fit to be discharged yet and needed to rest. So, not only Cornelia, but also Dr. Lester came home with him
There was a fancier ride waiting for him, but he insisted on riding in her car.
With a big shot in her car, Cornelia didnât dare to lose focus even for a second and drove carefully.
Marcus was in the passenger seat, resting his eyes, not initiating any conversation. Just before they arrived, he asked casually, âHow do you find driving this car?â
Cornelia said. âItâs nice.â
Marcus muttered, âCorneliaâ
Comelia asked, âHmm?â
After a pause, he asked another question, âJeremy told me that you want to divorce him. Would you tell me why?â
What a con artist he was! Trying to trick her and fish information from her.
Not a chance!
Cornelia responded politely, âPresident Hartley, thatâs my personal business. I donât want to bother you with it, so please donât ask anymore.â
His heart ached at her words, and he coughed lightly.
Hearing his cough, Cornelia finally looked at him, âPresident Hartley, you alright?â
Marcus shook his head, closed his eyes again. His face looked calm but his heart was turbulent.
In a few days, it would be their second wedding anniversary, also the day Jeremy and Cornelia planned to meet
Last night on WhatsApp, she was fine, even made plans to meet him. Why did she suddenly want a divorce after he asked about Jeremy?
He had to find the root of the problem and resolve it in time. He must meet her on May 8th as Jeremy and reveal his true identity.
They soon arrived at Celestial Chateau. Cornelia parked the car and went to open the passenger door for him, but he was already out of the car,
He walked fast, didnât wait for her, and left Cornelia behind in no time.
Dr. Lester ran after him, âMarc, slow down, will you? Donât you know your own condition? You need to rest, no vigorous activitiesâ
However, Marcus ignored him and kept walking briskly.
âLetâs go.â
Dr. Lester stopped and looked at Cornelia with hopeful eyes, âCornelia, could you please talk to Marcus and get him to rest properly in bed in the coming days? He might listen to you.â
