Chapter 670
Her sudden move towards him really took people by surprise Marcus was slightly taken aback, then opened his arms to catch her as she threw herself at him
Cornelia wrapped her arms tightly around his slim waist. âI have a good appetite, sleep well, and in great health My grandma always says Iâm like a little heater. If you hold me, you shouldnât feel coldâ
Turned out, she thought his cough was because he was cold
Marcus shook his head helplessly. I donât feel particularly coldâ
âYou donât feel cold?â Cornelia took his hand and fell it. It wasnât as cold as last night, but it wasnât warm either
This wasnât normal for him, especially in such hot weather
Luckily, she had contacted Dr. Lester in advance and had him rush over to the office to check on Marcus
He clutched his chest, âItâs here that doesnât feel good.â
Cornelia took one look and her face changed, âYour heart doesnât feel good? Donât worry, Iâll contact Dr Lester right awayâ
Marcus. âHeartache, because youâve been chatting with other men and ignoring me.â
The man in front of her was the formidable head of the Hartley Group, a big shot that many people would back down from when his name was mentioned. Cornelia didnât know how he could say such a pitiful thing
As if she had neglected him.
âI didnât ignore youâ Cornella looked at him, not having the heart to say anything harsh, âIâll worry if youâre not feeling well. Youâre not allowed to scare me like this again, got
It?
âGot it.â Marcus reached out, taking her hand. âCornelia, can you tell me who you were just chatting with?â
Marcus had heard a manâs voice, but who was that man?
Why could Cornelia talk to him for so long? What were Cornelia and that man talking about?
Why could she chat about him with that man so naturally?
Because he didnât know anything about that man, Marcus felt threatened, and his personality didnât allow for any threats.
Cornelia was honest and open. She never thought of hiding anything from Marcus. Even if he didnât ask, she wanted to talk to him about Taylor.
âHeâs Taylor. Abby, Zack, and I worked with him a lot in college. Weâve known him for many years and consider him like a brother.â
Taylor
So Cornelia had known this man since college
Marcus silently noted this manâs information, then calmly asked, âHmm, what were you guys talking about?â
He knew he shouldnât be prying into every detail of Corneliaâs life. Even as a couple, they should have their own space. But his jealousy and possessiveness were like two crazed beasts, rampaging in his heart, stirring up his deepâseated desire to possess her.
Cornelia was his wife.
In this life and the next, she could only be his wife.
He wouldnât allow anyone to have inappropriate thoughts about her
