Chapter 785
Steven asked, âSo youâre saying Marcâs hidden your wife somewhere? Youâve searched high and low and havenât even found a trace of her?â
Mentioning this topic made Zavierâs blood boil He was so pissed off, he could ve torn Marc to shreds, âSo why the hell did you guys invite me to tonightâs
dinner?â
Steven explained, âWeâve been buddies for years. When we got married, we all formally introduced our wives to each other. Marcâs bringing his wife tonight to officially introduce her to us. Itâs a big deal. We couldnât do it without you.â
Lucas chimed in, âYeah, it wouldnât be the same without you.â
Zavier scoffed, âWeâve all met her. Thereâs no need for a formal introduction. Heâs just showing off, deliberately trying to make me upset
Steven said, âWe get how youâre feeling, but Hannah and Rosie havenât met her yet, so the introduction has to be done.â
Rosie asked, âYou guys have all met Marcusâ wife? What does she look like? Is she as beautiful as Cornelia? But no matter what she looks like or if sheâs as beautiful as Cornelia, I should wish them happiness and a long, loving marriage.â
âThanks for your blessing!â A deep, pleasant voice came from the doorway. Everyone turned to see Marcus, tall and upright, standing there. There was no strange woman by his side, only his assistant, Cornelia.
Zavier continued to drink, ignoring Marcus and his wife completely.
âMarc, youâre finally here!â Steven greeted him with a smile, âYouâre the man of the hour, and youâre late. Thatâs not cool.â
âCornelia, itâs so good to see you today Hannah and Rosie immediately rushed over to Cornelia, hugging her tightly, âWeâre so thrilled.â
Theyâd come to Riverton today to meet Marcusâ wife. This was a private gathering of friends. Marcus brought his wife, so they didnât expect to see Cornelia as well. Her appearance was a total surprise. Hannah and Rosie were absolutely elated.
Especially Hannah, who hugged Cornelia tightly, âCornelia, you know what? I was just thinking, after Iâve done the rounds, Iâll text you to grab a lateânight snack. And here you are! Is it because God heard my inner prayers and brought the lovely you to me?â
âMust be, thatâs why God sent lovely me to your lovely self.â Cornelia was also happy to see them, Iâve missed you guys. Last time we met in Woodpine, we didnât get the chance to chat properlyâ
Hannah said, âIâve finished filming my drama, and Iâm not planning to pick up any new scripts soon. Iâve got plenty of time to chat.â
Rosie said, âI donât have anything particular to be busy with lately either. Why donât we stay in Riverton for a few more days and let Cornelia show us around?â
Cornelia happily agreed, âSounds great!â
Steven walked over and pulled Hannah away from Corneliaâs arms, âHoney, you should be hugging me, not Cornelia.â
Hannah glared at Steven as he pulled her away, âSteven, are you going to forbid me from talking to my girlfriends now?â
Iâm your husband, how can you call me Steven? Itâs so distant.â Steven said, then bent down to kiss her. Hannah instinctively tried to dodge, but Steven had already anticipated her move.
He held her slim waist with one hand, cradled her head with the other, and completely ignoring the others around. He quickly kissed her lips, demanding passionately for her to respond to his kiss.
