Chapter 474
Comelia whipped out her phone and started scouring the internet for tourist guides of Sapphire Lake. Sapphire Lake had a few scenic spots, the closest one being Lovers
Tree
Loversâ Tree wasnât just a feast for the eyes but was also home to two trees that were intertwined, standing close to each other
These two trees were located by the lake, intertwined with each other From afar, they looked like two people hugging each other, hence the name Lovers Tree Legend had it that any couple who made a wish under the Loversâ Tree would be blessed with lifelong happiness, making it a hotspot for lovebirds
Cornelia could see the two tall trees tightly entwined from afar Underneath the trees was a viewing platform bustling with people.
As the car got closer, Cornelia could make out the people on the platform. At first glance, all she saw were couples. There wasnât a single person who came alone. Some couples were even having their wedding photoshoot there. The wind tousled the brideâs hair, and the groom gently tucked it behind her ear The bride looked at the groom, their eyes met and they shared a laugh. All the love they had for each other was evident in that moment, it was quite enviable.
Cornelia thought to herself. Once she met Jeremy, she would bring him here to make a wish and have a beautiful wedding photoshoot. They would also bring their grandmothers along to enjoy a few days at this beautiful place.
Thinking about the bright future ahead, a smile involuntarily crept up to Corneliaâs face. Her eyes were twinkling like stars. As she was lost in her thoughts, she heard Marcus deep voice, âWhat are you looking at?â
Comelia turned to look at Marcus. For a moment, Marcus face overlapped with Jeremyâs face from her memories.
She quickly averted her eyes, âPresident Hartley, have you and your wife had a wedding photoshoot?â
Marcus replied, âNot yetâ
Cornelia responded with a despondent, âOh.â
Marcus added, âIâm not very interested in having a wedding photoshoot. But if she wants to, Iâll accompany her.â
Comelia remained silent. Wasnât it customary to have a wedding photoshoot once they were married? Did he mean he was waiting for his wife to suggest it?
But it was not her place as an assistant to meddle in other peopleâs business.
Cornelia looked back at the viewing platform, at the intimate couples. She remembered someone once said that no matter how good a relationship or a marriage was Occasionally, it needed some special events to increase the bond. Otherwise, no amount of passion could withstand the test of time.
Marcus asked, âWhy have you gone quiet?â
Cornelia thought for a moment, then replied, âYou rarely see your wife and itâs been a while since youâve planned any romantic dates for herâ
Marcus said, âWe donât rarely see each other. Itâs just that most of our meetings are workârelated. Due to some personal reasons, she has some misunderstandings about me, so..
As he mentioned personal reasons, Cornelia suddenly remembered the conversation between Briana and Natalia yesterday.
Marcus was sick, so there must be some issues in his marital life.
That explained why she had never seen his wife visit him at work during all the time she had been his assistant. This man was so good-looking and had a great body but was sick. What was up with that?
What a waste of a handsome face and a stellar physique.
