Chapter 177

His glasses were all fogged up, and from Cornelia’s angle. It looked like he had two white eyeballs on top of his head it was hilariously funny

Cornelia, trying not to laugh reached out to take off his glasses Because she was holding back a laugh, her fingers trembled slightly and accidentally touched his face

Up close like this, Cornelia could see his features more clearly His face was sharply defined, each part like a finely crafted work of art Just right, no matter which part you looked at

Especially the long eyelashes, which are thick and curled, are very beautiful. A ridiculous idea suddenly popped into Cornelia’s head she wished if she had a kid one day, it would be as good looking as Marcus

This thought scared the bejeezus out of her

If Jeremy insisted on not divorcing, she could only have children with him in this lifetime. If she and Jeremy had a child that looked like Marcus, that would be a real pickle.

But Marcus focus was completely different, “Why are your hands so cold?”

Cornelia hadn’t expected him to notice, as she wiped his glasses clean and put them back on him, “Girls‘ hands are always like this in winter.”

“Are all girls like this? Marcus wasn’t sure if all girls were like this, but he couldn’t let her be cold. “You go rest, leave the rest to me.”

As if she could leave him alone in the kitchen, “President Hartley, I’m fine.”

Marcus “That’s an order”

He pulled rank on her, and Cornelia had to comply “Can you handle it alone? Dr…”

He cut her off, remember everything you just said. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask you.”

“Alright “As Cornelia left the kitchen, she turned back to remind him, “You decide how much salt and pepper to put in, whatever you like

Hearing her nitpick, Marcus wasn’t annoyed at all, instead, he chuckled, “Alright, I got it. You go rest in the living room, don’t worry.”

Cornelia felt if she didnt leave now, Marcus might literally throw her out of the kitchen

When she stepped out of the kitchen and the door closed behind her, it was suddenly quiet.

Alone and bored, Cornelia picked up her phone and texted in their group chat, “Babes, are you asleep?”

Zack, “Who among us ever goes to bed this early?”

Abby, “Nelly, I just finished another novel. The male lead really uses his female secretary to provoke the female lead, and the secretary stupidly thinks he’s really into her, so she brags in front of the female lead. Guess what happens?”

Cornelia, “What happened?”

Abby. “The female lead slaps the secretary in front of the male lead, the secretary looks to the male lead pitifully, but he only cares if the female lead’s hand hurts. After confirming her hand is okay, the male lead has the secretary raped by someone else.”

Cornelia shivered after reading the message. Thank God President Hartley is normal. He said he hasn’t been using me to provoke anyone, and that I should stop worrying and work peacefully.”

Abby said. “You silly! Can you ask such things directly? Even if he did have such intentions, would he tell you the truth?”

Cornelia quickly replied, I beheve whatever he says.”

Abby replied, “You’re such a fool, but you won’t admit it. But speaking of which, his only fault is that he’s married”

Zack, “Why do you two guess a man’s thoughts without asking for a man’s opinion?”
