Chapter 1090

On the way back, Ayden was the driver

Comelia and Marcus sat in the backseat

Because of the argument just now, they each leaned on their side of the car after they got in, leaving a big gap in the middle, neither seemed to be in the mood to talk to the other

Soon enough, Marcus dozed off in his seat. He had pulled all–nighters before. Last year in Paris dealing with some issues, Cornelia even stayed up with him a few times, but he didn’t seem this tired back then.

She guessed his old condition might be acting up again. Even though Cornelia was still angry, she immediately sent a message to Dr. Lester, asking Dr. Lester to come and check on Marcus again. Then, she gently turned Marcus‘ head, hoping he could rest more comfortably on her shoulder.

However, the moment she touched Marcus, he suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce killing intent in his eyes. When he saw it was her, the killing intent disappeared instantly

Comelia said, “It’s me.”

Marcus buned his head in her arms and said, “I know it’s you”

Cornelia gently patted his back, saying, “Go to sleep. I won’t bother you anymore.”

Marcus said, “Comelia.”

Cornelia asked. “What?”

Marcus said. “In one night, Zavier’s hair went all gray. If one’s partner dies, will the other be this heartbroken?”

The image of Zavier’s hair tuming gray, aging a decade overnight, was all he could think about. He couldn’t bear to imagine if he were to die one day, would Cornelia’s hair turn all gray overnight, would she age a decade overnight?

Marcus didn’t want to think about it, but he had to face this question. He didn’t want Cornelia to endure the same pain as Zavier, didn’t want Cornelia to have her

hair turn all gray overnight, to age a decade overnight.

Cornelia said, “It probably depends on the relationship between the couple. After all, not every couple would react this way?

Marcus held her hand and said, “If one day…”

Before he could finish, Cornelia seriously interrupted him, “Don’t say such weird things. There are no ‘ifs, we’ll be together forever.”

Marcus asked, “What if one day I fell in love with another woman?”

Cornelia felt a pang in her heart when she heard this, but she answered calmly, “If you fall in love with another woman, you should tell me. Don’t let me find out on my own. Don’t do things that would hurt me”

She paused, then asked, “Would you fall in love with another woman?”

Marcus could assure her that he wouldn’t, absolutely wouldn’t! But he chuckled and said, “People’s hearts can change. I wouldn’t now, but who knows about the

future?”

Hearing this answer, Cornelia was very uncomfortable, but she didn’t say much, just stubbornly turned her head to look out the car window, refusing to even glance.

at him.

Marcus knew she might be angry, bearing the pain in his heart, he didn’t try to soothe her, just continued to keep his eyes closed to sleep.

After a while, as they were about to reach home, Cornelia suddenly turned her head, angrily shouting. “Jeremy, come here!”

Her voice was so loud it even startled Ayden, who was driving in front. But Marcus remained motionless, his eyes closed.

Cornelia was even more furious, “You liar! I should never have believed you! You were the one who said we’ll live a good life together, but now you’re telling me you might fall for other women. Your actions are unacceptable.”
