Cornelia had nothing to retort
Oops!!
She actually thought Zackâs analysis made sense
Chapter 160
Rumor has it that Marcus doesnât like women, and Cornelia has been following him for seven or eight months without seeing him get close to his wife
To be honest, itâs possible that he really has some issues, and thatâs why heâs afraid to get close to women
Zack said, âNelly, let me tell you, these kinds of guys with issues can be real freaks in private. Since youâre living in his house, you better be careful
Cornelia replied, âYou can say he has physical problems, but you canât question his characterâ
âCornelia, President Hartley has prepared dinner and invited you and Mr. Ruck to join him.â
Dr. Dawsonâs voice suddenly sounded behind them, starting them, and when they turned around to see Marcus there, Cornelia was immediately frightened
How long had he been there?
Did he hear her conversation with Zack?
If he knew she was gossiping about his private life behind his back, he would definitely fire her in anger.
Cornelia sneaked a glance at Marcus, he looked as calm as usual, and he didnât even give her an extra look.
Cornelia quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The food is ready, letâs go to the dining room first âIf Cornelia had given just a little more attention to Dr. Dawson, she would have noticed the awkwardness behind his enthusiasm
The four of them began to eat, and the food on the table catered to everyoneâs tastes.
Especially the stewed oxtail in red wine, Corneliaâs eyes were immediately attracted She immediately said, âZack, you have to try this dish.â
âAlright, let me try it âZack suddenly felt a murderous intent coming towards him, and instinctively thought it was Marcus, the one who made him feel threatened.
Zack looked up at Marcus, but Marcus was eating intently and gracefully, not looking at him.
Marcus was very concerned that Cornelia was only talking to Zack, but as long as he was willing to hide his emotions, no one could tell.
Not only did his wife discuss the topic of whether he had problems with other men, but she also took care of other men at the dinner table and ignored him.
After the meal, Zack leaned back in his chair, lazily took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. Before he could light it, Cornelia snatched it away. You quit smoking already? When did you start again?â
Zack said. â1â¦â
Cornelia, âWeâve told you so many times not to smoke, but you still do.â
Zackâs grandfather used to be a smoker, and even after being diagnosed with lung cancer, he continued to smoke. He could have lived a few more years, but because of smoking, he died within three months. Thatâs why Cornelia and Abigail wouldnât allow Zack to smoke.
Zack said, Thave quit smoking. Itâs just that sometimes I feel like having one. Donât be mad, I promise I wonât smoke again.â
Cornelia coldly said. âIf you dare to smoke again, I wonât care about your health anymore.â
Zack replied, âI promise I wonât smoke again.â
Marcus glanced at Cornelia unhappily. Why didnât she care when he smoked?
She seemed to care a lot about other men smoking.
Marcus couldnât stand it anymore. If he couldnât care for her, at least he wanted her to care for him.
So, Marcus also took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took out a lighter.
With a snap, the flame lit up, but he didnât light the cigarette. He was waiting for Cornelia to snatch the cigarette from his handâ¦
