Chapter 1056

Marcus was up even before she was, and breakfast was already ready. When she opened her eyes, Marcus put down his documents, walked over to her, and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, “Morning”

Waking up to his face first thing in the morning was pure bliss. Cornelia snuggled into his embrace, nuzzling him gently, “Morning.”

Marcus reached out and gave her tummy a gentle rub through her pajamas, “Feeling any better? Need another day off?”

Cornelia shook her head. “I’m usually a bit under the weather on the first day of my period, but I’ll feel better the next day. I don’t need to take more time off.”

Marcus suggested. “Then get up and get ready, we’ll have breakfast together and then head to the office.”

Cornelia clung onto him, unwilling to let go. “Skyler reached out to me last night. She filled me in on some stuff I didn’t know: Wanna know what she said?”

Marcus seemed unfazed, “What did she tell you?”

Cornelia said, “She said Zavier, Brennen, Granger, and others are banding together against you. They’re planning to control me first through my mom, and then come after you.”

Marcus said, “I’m aware.”

Cornelia asked, “Have you thought about how to deal with them?”

Marcus chuckled, “Even if they join forces, they’re no match for me. Don’t worry. Did she tell you anything else?”

Cornelia said, “Not much, just that she wants to have dinner with me after work tonight. She also said she’s not happy with her job and might quit.”

Marcus said, “If I’m not mistaken, she’s probably gone back to Zavier.”

Cornelia questioned, “What? She managed to break free from Zavier, why would she go back? Did someone find her and take her back?”

Marcus said, “She probably went back on her own.”

Cornelia didn’t believe it, “Skyler’s no fool, why would she do that?”

She immediately dialed Skyler’s number. After a few rings, the call was picked up.

“Hello, Ms Stewart. Oh, I should call you Mrs Hartley Zavier’s sinister voice came from the phone.

Cornelia felt a wave of despair, and she could hardly breathe, “Is Skyler there? Haver answer the phone!”

Zavier handed the phone to Skyler, “Darling, it’s your good friend, Mrs. Hartley.”

Then, Skyler’s calm voice came from the phone, “Cornelia, what’s up?”

Cornelia had so many questions and so many things to say, but she couldn’t utter a single word. Because she knew, no matter what she said, it might hurt Skyler. And the last person she wanted to hurt was Skyler.

Skyler chuckled, “You want to ask why I’m back with Zavier? He’s still my husband. After months of wandering and facing some hardships, I suddenly wanted to return to my comfortable life, so I came back to him. Fortunately, he didn’t resent me be accepted me, and forgave my previous caprice.”

Cornelia knew this wasn’t Skyler’s real thoughts, but she couldn’t offer any advice. They were all adults, everyone should be accountable for their own decisions

Skyler continued, “Comelia, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. We had too much fun last night. I’m still a bit worn out.”

Cornelia remained silent for a while, then managed to say. “So, are we still on for dinner tonight?”
