Chapter 802
He just wanted to smooch her! How could he say it so bluntly?
Cornelia, startled quickly looked around, thanking her lucky stars that everyone was busy minding their own business, no one noticed them, âThis place is crowded, itâs not very appropriate Letâs save it for homeâ
Marcus playfully picked up a strand of her hair, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and said, âAlrightâ
Comelia dared not look at him she kept her head down and continued texting in the group chat
When they sent out that photo, there was no doubt that the two grannies and Patricia would shower them with compliments again, praising them to the high heavens.
After the grannies and Patricia finished their praises, the usually quiet Briana sent a message: [Grannies, and Patricia, did you see the way my brother was looking at Cornelia
Granny Luisa replied [Whatâs up with his look?]
Briana replied [itâs like a wolf looking at a lamb, as if he could gobble up Cornelia any second. How come I never noticed this side of my brother before?]
Cornelia quickly checked the photo. She hadnât realized it before, but with Brianaâs reminder, she did feel like Marcus was looking at her as if he wanted to eat her up.
Cornelia rushed to click the photo, trying to retract the message, but it was past the retraction time. Annoyed, she looked at Marcus, âWhy were you looking at me like that?â Marcus asked, âWhat happened?â
Comelia said, âJust check the group chat.â
Marcus immediately opened his phone and quickly read through all the messages, âYou are indeed gorgeous, is it wrong for our family to compliment your beauty?â
Cornelia angrily said. âThatâs not what Iâm talking about!â
Marcus asked, âThen are you talking about our selfie?â
Cornelia said, Iâm not some kind of foodâ
Marcus pulled her into his arms, his laughter shaking his chest, âCornelia, do you know in my eyes, you are more tempting than food
Cornelia raised an eyebrow at him, âSo what if you find me tempting? You can only look, but you donât have the guts to eatâ
Marcus asked, âWhat did you say?â
Cornelia said, âNothing. Are you guys going to play cards later?â
Marcus said, âI donât feel like playing anymore, letâs just go home.â
Cornelia said, âTheyâve traveled all this way to Riverton, isnât it a bit rude not to play cards with them?â
Marcus said, âDo you think Steven and Lucas are still in the mood to play?â
Following Marcusâ gaze, she saw that Steven and his wife and Lucas and his wife were already hugging tightly. It seemed like their world probably didnât have room for anyone else at that moment. They definitely werenât in the mood for cards.
Only Zavier was still sitting in the corner, chain smoking, as if cigarettes were his whole world.
As Cornelia looked at him, Zavier suddenly looked up at her. Their eyes met, and Zavier suddenly smiled, a peculiar smile that left Cornelia a bit spooked.
She instinctively hid behind Marcus. âWhy did Zavier smash the glass earlier?â
Marcus said, âBecause I said I donât know where Skyler is.â
Cornelia said, âHe knows you, so even if you deny it, itâs useless.â
Marcus replied, âI really donât know!â
Cornelia was clearly surprised, her face pale, and she asked, âYou really donât know? Then where on earth is Skyler? Is she in danger?â
