Chapter 1203
When Cornelia wanted to argue with Marcus, he said he wanted to but the hay This made her feel as if her anger was like punching cotton, with no sound at all Cornelia really wanted to keep talking to Marcus, but seeing how tired he looked, she couldnât bear to disturb his sleep.
âAlright, off you go to sleepâ Cornelia said. She thought to herself, she would have a proper talk with him tomorrow morning
Marcus went off to sleep, while Cornelia headed to the bathroom. After freshening up, she found Marcus already fast asleep He was out like a light, showing that he was really knackered
âYou annoying man, leaving me fuming, yet youâre sleeping like a babyâ Cornelia murmured.
She climbed into bed lying next to Marcus, and rolled over into his arms.
She held him around his waist, leaned against his chest, and listening to his steady heartbeat. All her grievances and unease disappeared in this moment. She nuzzled his chest and whined. âJeremy, you didnât even spare me a glance when you got home today. Do you know how awful that makes me feel?*
She moved up a bit, lying flat and staring at his handsome features. She couldnât help but reach out to gently stroke them. She traced his eyebrows and lips, whispering. âIâm dying inside, yet I have to act like nothingâs wrong, even making you drinks. What pisses me off even more is that you ignored me even when I brought you a drink. You have no idea how much I wanted to bite you then Jeremy, let me tell you, I hold grudges. If you dare to treat me this coldly again, Iâll give you a taste of your own medicine
Cornelia rambled on for a while until sleepiness overwhelmed her, she then fell asleep on Marcusâ chest.
Just as she fell asleep, the man who was previously sound asleep slowly opened his eyes. His gaze lingered on her face, unable to look away. He murmured, âI knowâ
Last night before bed, Cornelia had wanted to get up early to have a good talk with Marcus. But when she woke up, she found that the man beside her was already gone Cornelia hurried off the bed, didnât even bother with her shoes and ran out of the room, heading for the dining room.
According to Marcus routine, he would have breakfast before going to work. But when Cornelia arrived at the dining room, all she saw was Patricia clearing up the tableware
Patricia looked a bit under the weather, but her eyes lit up when she saw Cornelia, âNelly, youâre not working anyway, why are you up so early? What do you want to eat, Iâll make it for you right awayâ
Cornelia asked, âWhereâs Marcus?â
Patricia instinctively looked outside, Cornelia followed her gaze and saw two people walking side by side. It was Marcus and Tahlia Marcus was dressed in his usual white shirt and black trousers, each step he took graceful and charming
Tahlia was dressed in a business suit. Cornelia used to dress like this when she was still working. They were standing really close, so close that it made Cornelia feel a bit dazed She almost felt as though the woman standing next to Marcus wasnât Tahlia, but her.
But clearly, that wasnât Cornelia.
Cornelia watched them walk towards the garage, and get in the car. The car drove out of the yard, disappearing from her sight.
Cornelia stared in the direction they left for a while, then slowly withdrew her gaze. Patricia looked at Cornelia, she wanted to say something several times, but stopped herself.
âPatricia, Iâm feeling a bit sleepy now. Iâm going back to my room.â Cornelia said.
Patricia advised, âNelly, have you thought about going back to work with Marc? Donât let other women take the opportunity to work with him.â
