Chapter 1050
Zavier, youâre clearly a coldâhearted dude, stop pretending to be Mr. Romantic. If you keep up this act, you might just trap yourself in your own chamcter, unable to break free. The voice echoed.
Zavier looked up, his vision blurred, and chuckled, âThe booze tonight is amazing, getting drunk not only lets me see Skyler but also hear her voice. What is this. drink? I need the waiter to send some over to my place. I can savour it slowly Every time I miss Skyler, III have a sip, and then I can see her, hear her voice.â
And with that, Zavier collapsed onto the couch, out like a light. He was unaware that not too far from his couch stood a slim, beautiful woman. The woman was watching him, her face full of disdain.
Meanwhile, Marcus had retumed to Lakeview Estates.
He had been out and about, reeking of booze and other unpleasantries, so he didnât head straight to his room. Instead, he took a shower, changed into clean pyjamas, and then went back to his room.
Not wanting to wake Cornelia, he walked softly and climbed into bed gently.
However, the moment he lay down, Cornelia snuggled into his arms. Marcus thought she had awakened, but looking down at her, he realised she was still sleeping. just instinctively seeking him out.
He held her close, patting her back gently. And then he heard Comeliaâs voice, âWhere were you?â
Looking down at her again, he saw her eyes open, âWhen did you wake up?â
âI woke up when you came back and took a showerâ Comelia moved closer to him, sniffing. âDid you sneak out to do something naughty? Why did you have to take a shower before coming back to the room?â
Marcus laughed, âI met a beautiful woman, and I smelled like her perfume. I was afraid you would find out, so I had to take a shower first.â
Comelia responded, âIf you can sneak out to see a beautiful woman, I can sneak out to see a handsome man.â
Marcus retorted, âYou wouldnât dare!â
Cornelia countered. âIf you can, why canât I?â
Marcus said, âI was just joking. I went out because Zavier asked me to. There was rig other woman)
Comelia asked, âDid Zavier ask you out again? Did he ask you where Skyler is?â
Marcus nodded, âYes. Do you want to know where she is?â
Comelia said, âI want to know, but donât tell me. Iâm afraid I wonât be able to resist looking for her and then Iâll lead Zavier to her, and Skyler will have to move again.
Marcus suddenly asked, âComelia, have you ever thought about living in another city?
Cornelia shook her head, âI left Rosenberg for Riverton to go to college when I was 18 bought my first house here. Youâre here too. There are too many people and, things here that I canât leave behind. Iâve never thought about living anywhere else.â
Marcus suggested, âThe Capital and Harbor City are pretty goodâ
Cornelia gripped his hand tightly, saying, âIf youâre tired of Riverton and want to live in another city, Iâll go with you wherever you want to go as long as you need my company. As long as youâre with me, anywhere can be our home.â
âAs long as youâre with me, anywhere can be our home.â That was the most comforting thing to hear.
