Chapter 657
Knowing full well it was peeping, why did he have to call her out? Didnât she have any pride at all?
Annoyed, Cornelia turned her head away, refusing to give him the time of day
Marcus, as if nothing ma jor had happened, carried on driving the sightseeing car, even playing the role of tour guide âThis road weâre on is called Lovebirds Lane, and the flowers on both sides are orchids. The name of the road and the flowers planted were all decided by Shawn, the hotel manager we just met
The sightseeing road was well maintained, with the orchids blooming brilliantly on both sides. It was indeed quite beautiful
Still pissed off, Cornelia glanced at the flowers and shrubs outside, responding nonchalantly without turning her head, âI seeâ
Assuming she was enjoying the scenery, Marcus continued his animated commentary. âAt first, I didnât understand why he chose to plant these flowers. He told me that orchids symbolize a beautiful love I used to scoff at that, but now I feel that having a good omen and symbolism gives people hope, and thereâs nothing wrong with thatâ
Marcus wasnât a man of many words, but to spare them from an awkward silence, he kept talking, saying things that even he found embarrassing
As Comelia listened, her anger slowly subsided âSo, you gave him full control of the hotel?â
âYep.â Marcus nodded âShawn is a college student I sponsored I thought highly of him, so I let him manage the hotel after he graduated. He hasnât let me down.â
âYou sponsor college students? That was news to Comelia.
Sponsoring college students was a charitable act by Jeremyâs company with no business motive, so not many people knew about it. âJust donated some money, not a big deal.â
âItâs more than just some moneyâ To Marcus it may be just some money, but for the students he sponsored, his kindness could change their lives.
Marcusâs image grew a little taller in Corneliaâs heart.
As they chatted, they arrived at the edge of a cliff where a row of spherical glass houses were in sight. Each glass house was built on the rocks at the edge of the cliff, appearing to hang in midâair, which was quite thrilling
It was said that these glass houses were built using some special construction technology Unless there was a super tsunami or an earthquake of magnitude eight or higher, these glass houses were absolutely safe.
Marcus slowed down, âWant to take another look?â
The sea breeze was a bit strong. Cornelia was only wearing a dress and felt a bit cold. âI donât want to walk around anymore, letâs find a place to sit and wait for the sunset.â
âSureâ Marcus drove Cornelia to a glass house.
This glass house was the most prominent one, with only one corner built on the rock. The rest seemed to hang in the air, beneath was a cliff several dozen feet high with waves crashing against the rocks. It looked absolutely thrilling.
Marcus said, âThis glass house is reserved for me by Shawn. No one usually stays here, so you donât have to worry about hygiene.â
When initially planning the hotel, Shawn jokingly said he wanted to reserve a room for him so he could bring his girlfriend in the future.
He said at the time: âI might have to wait till my next life to bring a girlfriend here.â
Because he never thought he would have a girlfriend, let alone get married.
However, just a few years later, he skipped the dating part altogether and went straight to register for marriage.
In comparison, Cornelia didnât have as many concerns. She, Abigail, and Zack usually chose regular chain hotels when they traveled and werenât particularly picky about hygiene conditions.
