Chapter 597
Did Marcus Hartley know that she knew they were married?
How did he know? When did he know?
Did she accidentally spill the beans?
No way, she hadnât figured out how to play the wife role yet, she absolutely cant fess up.
So, Comelia Stewart decided that until she figured out how to handle her new role with Marcus, she wouldnât admit it, âPresident Hartley, what, what are you talking about?
Iâm totally lostâ
Her stuttering voice and clueless eyes were screaming guilt.
Still wouldnât fess up, huh?
Marcus chuckled, âNot ready to admit it, huh?â
Marcus was no dummy, there was no way he could not see the changes in Cornelia recently
In the past, whenever he made even the slightest move that went beyond their relationship in work, Cornelia would instinctively avoid it and quickly create distance between
them.
But now, every time he touched her, he could see the struggle and turmoil in her eyes.
A few days ago, she had run to the hospital late at night, asking him some weird questions about Jeremy, and then texted Jeremy asking for a divorce on WhatsApp
During the days he took her to Celestial Chateau, he was quietly observing her every move.
When she hesitantly asked him if he had an affair with Natalia behind her back, he confirmed his suspicions.
Marcus was grateful that Cornelia voiced her doubts directly, giving him the chance to explain.
Cornelia decided to stick to her guns, âPresident Hartley, what do you want me to admit?â
Marcus took her hand and brought it to his nose, his voice sexy and captivating. âItâs okay, Iâll give you a few more days.â
Today was May 4th, four more days until May 8th.
Itâd been two years, and he didnât mind waiting for her for another four days.
Cornelia wasnât used to this level of intimacy, and she instinctively backed away, which triggered a strong possessiveness in Marcus.
She retreated, he advanced, cornering her against the car window, âCornelia, stop trying to avoid me, not in this life, not even in the next.â
From the moment they got married, she was his wife, and he wouldnât allow her to avoid him anymore.
When he was with her, Marcus was always a perfect gentleman. She never knew he had this domineering side.
Right now, she felt like a lamb who wandered into a wolfâs den, and he was like a wild beast, ready to devour her at any moment.
Just as Cornelia was at a loss, the car stopped, Austinâs voice came through the carâs intercom, âMarc, Cornelia, weâre here.â
âOkayâ Marcus responded, releasing the tie in Corneliaâs hair, letting it fall like a waterfall, loosely flowing over her shoulders.
What did he take her for? Did he think she was his pet to toy with?
Cornelia got angry. âMarcus, what on earth are you up to?â
Marcusâ eyes under his glasses showed a smile, âFinally calling me by my name.â
Cornelia was helpless at his response, âYouâ¦â
Marcus casually played with a strand of her hair, twirling it around his fingers.
