Chapter 651
Marcus was amused by her straightforward and adorable response. âYou donât need to give anything in return. Or, you can use my card to buy something for me!
Comelia said with some frustration, âI donât want to always spend your money. I can earn my own money. I did fine before I met you, you knowâ
known
Marcus had always known that even without him, Cornelia could do very well.
In multiple rounds of executive assistant selection, she stood out from numerous competitors and finally became his assistant, which was enough to prove her abilities.
She could earn money on her own to buy a house. She was beautiful, had many suitors, and she didnât necessarily need him.
Marcus understood all of these, but hearing Cornelia say it out loud still made him a bit uncomfortable
He subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, âI hope you can spend my money so I can feel that you need me, not that I am dispensable to you.
Cornelia couldnât stand when he talked to her like this, as if he were a horneless child desperately needing her care. âWell, Iâll accept it thenâ
Comelia agreed to take the car, Marcus breathed a sigh of relief, âThatâs more like it! Youâre my wife, If you donât spend my money, should I give it to another woman?â
âI wonât allow it!â Cornelia reached out and pinched his waist
His waist muscles were too firm. She didnât hurt him, but hurt her own hand instead.
She glared at him angrily Jeremy would never bully her, only Marcus would.
Marcus didnât understand why she suddenly got angry. âWhatâs wrong?â
Cornelia knew she shouldnât lose her temper, âItâs too hot, letâs go.â
May in Riverton was particularly hot, especially in the evening, without wind, the entire city was like a steamer.
The red sports car raced down the city streets, like a moving red rose, very eyeâcatching. About half an hour later, the car left the city and headed in the direction of the
eastern coast of Riverton
Cornelia sat in the passenger seat, occasionally sneaking peeks at Marcus out of the corner of her eye.
He rarely drove, but he drove fast and steady. She remembered he once told her that he wanted to be a race car driver and had even won championships.
His hand on the steering wheel looked very good, his fingers were long and strong, much better than a hand modelâs.
His physique was the same, and even sitting down, there was not a bit of excess fat. One could vaguely feel the strong abs under his shirt.
She took a look, then quickly looked away, as if she were a thief.
Marcus was amused by her again, chuckling softly.
Cornelia puffed up her face and asked, âWhat are you laughing at?â
Marcus reached out one hand and held hers, Tm your husband, and I am all yours. If you want to look, just look, no need to be sneakyâ
She thought her sneaky observations were successful, but didnât expect he already knew. Cornelia said a bit defiantly, âI wasnât sneaking peeks at you.â
Marcus still insisted, âAlright, if you say you werenât sneaking, then you werenât
Cornelia looked ahead, their car was about to leave the coastal highway, âPresident Hartley, where are we going next?â
Marcus asked. âYouâre still calling me President Hartley?â
Cornelia responded, âBesides President Hartley, what else can I call you? Jeremy?â
Marcus said, âCall me hubby.â
