Chapter 491
âYeah, Cornelia and I are tight. We hang out when we have the time Natalia was relieved sheâd made the right call
Just as she thought As soon as she brought up Carnelia. Marcus became more talkative
Marcus adjusted his silverâframed glasses, his gaze still on Nataliaâs eyes. At first glance, Nataliaâs eyes seemed similar to Corneliaâs But upon closer inspection, they were totally different.
Corneliaâs eyes were not only well shaped foxlike, but also bright and clear. He could see a galary sparkling in them, which was absolutely endearing
Natalia thought Marcus was staring at her in disbelief, so she quickly pulled out her phone, âMarcus, if you donât believe that Comelia and I are friends. I can call her right now to confirm â
Marcus shifted his gaze, âSheâs probably asleep by now, donât bother herâ
Natalia breathed a sigh of relief, obediently replying. âAlright, Iâll listen to you. I wonât bother Comeliaâ
Marcus opened his car door, ready to leave
In a rush, Natalia said. âMarcus, itâs already past 2 am. And the Reese familyâs villa area is super quiet. Iâm a bit worried about taking a cab alone, can you give me a lift?â Natalia had been back in the country for several months, and Cameron had been urging her to get close to Marcus. But she had only seen him twice.
The first time was the day she returned home, she went to Marcusâs villa with Briana But she was kicked out before they really had a chance to chat. The second time was on Marcusâs birthday She was trying to figure out how to find Cornelia when Marcus caught her off guard. She was startled and didnât get to chat with him either. Despite her efforts, she hadnât been able to see Marcus again. So, slie turned to Cornelia, Marcusâs assistant, believing she could lead her to him.
Unexpectedly, her chance came so fast. She d only been in contact with Cornelia for two days when she saw Marcus dropping her home. But before she could greet him, he drove off. Just when she was about to give up, his car came back
She watched from a distance as a stranger approached him. She couldnât hear their conversation due to the distance, but it didnât matter
What mattered was that she had finally run into Marcus and she couldnât let him slip away She had to find a way to spend more time with him.
âMarcus, can you give me a lift?â She looked at him, a tear shimmering in her eye, making her look quite pitiful.
Her eyes were beautifully shaped, but a bit dull. Now filled with tears, they looked much brighter.
Once again, Marcus thought he saw Corneliaâs tearâfilled eyes. He felt a pang of sympathy, âAre you really Corneliaâs friend?â
âYes.â Natalia nodded eagerly.
She hoped Marcus would agree to drive her home. If Marcus could take her back to the Reese familyâs villa, she wouldnât have to worry about Cameron hitting her Marcus thought there might be something wrong with his eyes, always mistaking other womenâs eyes for Corneliaâs, even though they were completely different. He softened again, âAustin, drive her homeâ
Austin and Natalia asked in unison, âWhat about you?â
Marcus didnât answer
Natalia hoped he would drive her home, but she knew this was probably the biggest concession Marcus would make for Cornelia
She didnât say anything more, just got into the passenger seat, âMarcus, thank you! See your
Marcus nodded in response. Even this small nod made Natalia excited His attitude towards her was better than any of their previous encounters, giving her hope. But she knew clearly that Marcusâs gentle attitude tonight was solely because sheâd mentioned Cornelia
