Chapter 835
You actually showed up!â The man looked at Marcus, his eyes filled with provocation and disdain. âYouâre sticking your nose in everything, now youâre going to interfere with the girls I like,?â
Marcus, behind his silver glasses, let out a deep chill in his gaze, âBuzz off!â
âFine, if you want me to leave, Iâll leave The man promptly got up and took a few steps out, but then turned his head to look back at Cornelia, âBeautiful lady, youâre quite the looker, but why such poor taste?
âLet me tell you, donât just judge a book by its cover, look at their character too. Some people may seem great on the surface, but who knows what theyâre hiding deep Insideâ
It was clear to Cornelia that these two knew each other and didnât get along. At such a moment, how could she let her husband be bullied? âPeople always say women are gossips, but how come youâre even worse?
Tm with my husband all the time, I know him better than you do, do I need reminders from you? Whatever youâre up to, youâre bound to fail. Now please take a hike and stop showing up in front of us.â
The manâs face darkened, and before leaving, he left a parting shot, âTruth always pisses people off.â
After the man left, Comelia immediately threw herself into Marcus arms, rubbing against him, âI was just about to call you and you showed up. Do we have some psychic connection?â
Marcusâ anger evaporated at her gesture. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, âWhat did he say to you?â
Cornelia looked up and winked at him playfully, âYou want to know?â
Marcus, âYes.â
Cornelia, âGive me a kiss and Iâll tell you.â
As soon as she finished her sentence, Marcusâ lips quickly met hers, making her head spin. Cornelia pushed him away, trying to escape, but couldnât. She just wanted a simple kiss, but he kissed her so passionately.
After what felt like an eternity, Marcus finally let her go, âCan you tell me now?â
His voice was sexy and hoarse.
Cornelia blushed âI was about to call you to pick me up. Just as I found your number, that man snatched my phone. Not only did he snatch my phone, but he also sat across from me, trying to get to know me. I straight up told him that my husband is the CEO of the Hartley Group, Marcus.
âHow can that man compare to you? He even thought about courting me. As long as my eyes arenât blind, I would never like him.â
Marcus knew that Cornelia might have been saying this just to please him, but as long as she was willing to say it, no matter her motive, he was willing to believe. âLetâs go home.â
âOkay, letâs go homeâ Cornelia hugged Marcus tightly. She had drunk too much and couldnât even walk. Her voice was soft and sweet, âI canât walk anymore, can you carry me home?â
Faced with such a cute version of Cornelia, how could Marcus possibly refuse? He immediately stepped forward. âHop onâ
Comelia struggled to climb onto his back, âI might have gained some weight recently, can you carry me?â
âYour weight is no problem for meâ Marcus held her legs with one hand, her butt with the other, âHold onto my neck, be careful not to slide off, or youâll fall
Cornelia obediently wrapped her arms around his neck, her whole body clinging to his back.
