Chapter 661

Comelia couldn’t for the life of her figure out why she was having these terrifying, uncontrollable thoughts.

She took a seat first

“We can have dinner while watching the sunset Marcus poured two glasses of wine himself, one for Cornelia and one for himself.

Comella reached out to take his wine glass away. “Dr. Lester said you need to take it easy, no booze for you.”

Marcus gently held the glass, not letting her take it away. “Drinking alone is no fun. A little sip with you won’t do any harm”

The alcohol content in red wine wasn’t that high, a sip or two should be fine. Since he insisted, Cornelia didn’t argue any further.

To ease the tension and awkwardness, Cornelia downed her glass before even eating.

“You’ll hurt your stomach drinking like that, you should eat something first.” Marcus casually dished up for her.

She used to be the one assisting him with stuff like this. The sudden role reversal left Cornelia somewhat uncomfortable, but she was trying her best to adapt.

While she was engrossed in her meal, Marcus’s deep, pleasant voice echoed in her ear again, “This dish was prepared just for you, no one else has ever tasted it. You can indulge whenever you want…”

Cornelia blushed

Turned out he heard her whole conversation with Abigail! Did he think she was putting on airs? Did he think she was purposely being elusive?

Oh, boy! She was so embarrassed!

Marcus looked at her with a smile, “You seem to blush easily these days.”

Cornelia poured herself a full glass of wine, and downed it in one go, bolstering her courage with alcohol, I’m blushing because of the wine, not you. Don’t get any ideas!”

Marcus, “Oh I must’ve misunderstood then, I thought I made you blush”

Perhaps the alcohol was kicking in, Cornelia became bolder, “Marcus, why do you always manage to say things that embarrass me with such a straight face? If you keep this up, how am I supposed to live a normal life?”

“I’m really sorry!” He said an apology, but it didn’t sound like one at all. He even chuckled when he saw her getting annoyed.

Cornelia shot him an angry glance, lowered her head to continue eating, and decided to ignore him.

But this man’s presence was simply overwhelming, even just sitting there doing nothing, his aura was impossible to ignore, let alone when he kept staring at her

Cornelia felt uncomfortable under his gaze and tried to change the subject, “By the way, it’s Zack’s 25th birthday on Saturday. He wants to invite you over for dinner. Are you

free?”

*Sure” Marcus suddenly reached out. Cornelia instinctively tried to dodge, but failed His arms were long and easily reached her.

He gently swept the stray hair from her forehead behind her ear, revealing her smooth forehead, ‘Do I need to prepare any gifts?”

TII take care of the gifts. Your presence alone is enough.” Cornelia glanced at him, then lowered her head to continue eating. She didn’t understand why he was so adept at fixing her hair.

Marcus simply replied, “Okay”

His affirmative answer put an end to Cornelia’s new topic.

After some thought, Cornelia said, “The stock price of the Reese Group has plummeted. They’ll definitely pin the blame on us, so you need to be extra careful with the Reese family”
