Chapter 972
Nothing short of death could tear them apart.
Cornelia clutched his arm once again, âJeremy!â
Marcus asked, âWhat?â
Cornelia said. President Hartley!â
Marcus didnât answer.
Cornelia asked. Why arenât you responding?â
Marcus said, âI donât like it when you call me that.â
Cornelia asked, âThen what do you want me to call you?â
Marcus said, âCall me honey!â
Cornelia was stunned. In the broad daylight, there he went, flirting with her again.
Just as Marcus assumed she was too shy to call him that, her soft voice echoed in his ear, âHoneyâ
Marcus reached out his hand. Even with a bag in it, he pulled Cornelia into his arms.
He kissed her and called her affectionately, âHoney.â
Zack and Tahlia had long returned home, but Cornelia and Marcus were just strolling back.
Upon hearing the door, Leonardo who was half lying on the couch started complaining. âYou guys invited us over for dinner, weâre starving and about to cook ourselves, and you two just got back.â
Cornelia asked, âDid you cook?â
Leonardo said, âIâve been pampered all my life. Thereâs no way Iâd step into a smoky kitchen.â
Leonardo and Tahlia were both pampered from a young age, and they couldnât even toast bread, let alone cook gourmet meals.
Cornelia asked, âThen what are you complaining about?â
Leonardo wanted to retort, but seeing Marcusâ stern look, he shut up obediently.
Marcus said, âSit properly!â
Leonardo quickly sat straight. Oh boy, this control freak, even dictating how people sat, wonder how Cornelia put up with him.
Cornelia immediately headed for the kitchen, with Marcus following behind.
The kitchen in the new house was spacious enough for four people. Patricia was preparing her signature dish, while Zack had just finished prepping the salmon for dinner, âNelly, youâre just like your grandma, great at grilling salmon. You should handle this one.â
âOkayâ Cornelia rolled up her sleeves ready to get to work, only to hear Marcus say, âYou can give directions. Iâll do it.â
Patricia objected, âMarc, you hate the smoky kitchen the most. You should stay out. I can handle it.â
Leonardo in the living room was even more surprised. Marcus used to live in a luxury apartment. He had to have two sets of rooms because he couldnât stand the smell of cooking in his living quarters, so the other set was just for cooking.
