Chapter 480
Cornelia did want to buy some clothes for Jeremy, but she wasnât sure about his size. She could recall that Jeremy had a big build, probably similar to Marcus, âPresident Hartley, whatâs your clothing size?â
This initiative of hers to buy clothes for him gave Marcus a boost, so he immediately told her his size. The salesperson brought out a menâs jacket identical to the one Cornelia was wearing according to his size, âWanna try it on?â
Marcus nodded. âSure.â
He slipped on the jacket and the salesperson admired. âYouâre handsome and have a great figure, everything looks good on you
Cornelia agreed. It does look good. Iâll take this one, could you pack it up for me?â
Then, she turned to Marcus and said, âThank you for trying the clothes on! Have you picked a jacket for yourself?â
Marcus was speechless
So the clothes were for Jeremy, not for him. His mood immediately soured, Tm not coldâ
Knowing that he was robust and not afraid of the cold, Cornelia didnât say more. She happily picked up the clothes for Jeremy and even took a few photos.
Seeing her indifference towards him, Marcus felt a bit down, âWhat do you want for dinner? Letâs go eat firstâ
Woodpine was full of delicious food, but Cornelia couldnât think of any specific dishes at the moment. She whipped out her phone and searched for âWoodpine foodâ
She didnât want to eat the same thing she had for lunch. She wanted to go to the night market because she hadnât sampled the local foods in Woodpine. But Marcus would never go to such a noisy and crowded night market, let alone eat street food
Cornelia thought for a moment, âPresident Hartley, which hotel are you staying at? Iâll drop you off firstâ
After dropping Marcus off at his hotel, sheâd be free to try all the snacks in Woodpine.
Marcus said, âLetâs have dinner together first.â
Comelia declined politely, âI want to go to Flavor Street in West Alley You might not like it there. If you feel lonely eating alone, you can ask Ayden to accompany you
Ignoring her, Marcus inputted Flavor Street into his phoneâs GPS and headed there, âIf you can eat it, why canât I?â
âPresident Hartley, maybe you should reconsider?â Cornelia thought to herself, he was being stubborn now, but he would regret it later.
She remembered during a trip to the West Region highlands last year, he was quite unhappy with her eating barbecue. She ordered two portions of barbecue. He didnât even taste it, and she ended up eating all of it.
Marcus said, âMy wife also likes these. I need to learn to eat them, so I can eat with her.â
Cornelia didnât say anything So it was for his wife again. Suddenly, Cornelia felt a little sympathy for Marcus. Maybe he had some issues in his sex life, unable to engage in marital sex So he always had to give in to his wife in life?
He changed his principles and bottom line time and time again for his wife, even forcing himself to eat food he didnât like. Poor guy!
A big question arose in Corneliaâs mind, did sex life really affect mantal happiness?
