Chapter 626

Marcus asked, “Got anything else you wanna tell me?”

Comelia had something to say, but couldn’t find the words, so she just shook her head.

Seeing her restraint, Marcus took the initiative and said, “How about I ask the questions and you just answer, alright?”

Cornelia nodded. ‘Shoot.”

Marcus asked, “Still treating me all formal and stuff?”

Cornelia replied, “Some habits die hard. Besides, you’re my boss. It’s only right ”

Marcus said, “I don’t want you to treat me formally anymore. Haven’t wanted that for a while. The moment I knew you were my wife, I hoped you’d drop the formalities‘ Cornelia asked. “When did you find out I was your wife?”

Marcus answered, “The day we agreed to meet for our divorce certificate.”

Turned out, he knew all along but never told her.

Cornelia asked, “If you knew from the jump, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Marcus fell silent for a moment, then slowly said in his deep, sexy voice, “Because I was scared you’d leave me, scared you wouldn’t want me.”

Jeremy had expressed his fear of her rejection multiple times on WhatsApp. Every time Comelia saw these messages, her heart ached. But she couldn’t connect Jeremy with Marcus She never imagined that right here, right now, Marcus would say to her face that he was scared she wouldn’t want him.

This was Marcus! The man at the pinnacle of the business world! The man everyone looked up to, and feared!

In front of her, he discarded all his titles and status. He was just a regular man.

Marcus said, “Comelia”

Cornelia replied, “I will never leave you.”

Marcus reached out to take her hand, but as he was about to touch her, the car stopped. Austin’s voice came from the car’s speaker again, “Marc, we’re here.”

Cornelia opened the car door and hurriedly got out, “Let’s grab a bite first.”

Marcus also got out of the car and walked over to her, “Can I hold your hand?”

Cornelia didn’t reply if he wanted to hold hands, he should just do it. Why asked her? How was she supposed to answer that?

But he didn’t take her hand, because Leonardo and Ryan’s cars had also arrived

Cornelia distanced herself from Marcus. “You promised to keep our relationship under wraps for now”

Marcus replied. “Yeah”

Ryan had reserved a private room and ordered food in advance. When they arrived, the food was served one after another. Cornelia was starving and began eating as soon

as the dishes arrived.

As Marcus kept putting food on her plate, Leonardo glanced at Cornelia, who was deeply engrossed in her food, and then at Marcus who kept helping her with her food, “Marc, aren’t you being a bit too nice to Cornelia?”

Marcus retorted, “Who I’m nice to is none of your business.”

Leonardo said, ‘I’m just surprised. Don’t you love your wife dearly? With how gentle and considerate you are to other women, won’t your wife get jealous? Tonight, you’re attending the Reese family’s private party. But instead of bringing your wife, you’re bringing your assistant. Is that really appropriate?”
