Chapter 664
Suddenly, Marcus reached out his hand, his slender, icy fingers gliding over her cheek, gently tucking her stray bangs behind her ear. âI like it.â
He liked everything she did for him.
Hearing his words, Cornelia gave a faint smile, revealing dimples, âThen you go to bed firstâ
Marcus was a clean freak. He wouldnât get into bed without taking a shower first âIâm going to take a showerâ
âGo ahead.â Comelia turned and dashed into the bathroom, first turning on the heater, then adjusting the water temperature for him âJust take a quick rinse. Donât hang in there too long and catch a coldâ
Marcus would never wear hotelâprovided sleepwear. Sure enough, Cornelia found brand new pajamas and towels in the dressing area. She handed them to him, âGo take your shower.â
After pushing him into the bathroom, Cornelia hurried out the door. She had just asked the front desk to prepare some ginger juice for her
The quickest remedy for cold hands and feet was drinking ginger juice. This was a trick her grandmother used to use when she experienced the same
By the time Cornelia returned with the ginger juice, Marcus had just stepped out of the bathroom, his hair still wet. He looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Before he could ask, Cornelia explained, âI had the hotel staff make some ginger juice. Come sit down and have some.â
Marcus, âOkayâ
While he was drinking. Cornelia grabbed a hairdryer. âIâll help dry your hair.â
Marcus simply said âokayâ He appeared calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
He couldnât take his eyes off her as he watched her in the mirror, standing behind him. He had never known how wonderful it felt to be loved and cherished by someone How he wished time could just freeze at this momentâ¦
He watched as she held the hairdryer in one hand, and gently ran her other hand through his hair, directing the airflow towards his head.
His hair was short and the dryer was powerful. It didnât take long to dry.
Cornelia put away the hairdryer and sat next to him, grabbing his hand to feel its temperature. âWhy is it still so cold? Should we go home now? Or should we call Dr Lester?â
Marcus, âItâs okay, donât worryâ
He told her not to worry, but how could she not? She was always worried, afraid something might happen to him. âFinish your ginger juice and then rest in bed.â
Marcus. âOkayâ
Tonight, the word he said most was âokayâ Everything else was said by Cornelia.
After he finished drinking, Cornelia was about to take the cup away, but he stopped her. âIâm sorry!â
Cornelia was startled, âWhy are you suddenly apologizing?â
Marcus, âOur first date, and you had to worry about me.â
Cornelia, âWe are only in our twenties, we still have many years to live. As long as you get better, we can go on as many dates as you want. This one doesnât matter.â
Despite their date ending poorly due to his health, she did not blame him, but instead comforted him.
At that moment, a thought crossed Marcusâs mind. Perhaps the hardships he experienced as a child were Godâs way of saving his luck for meeting her and making her his
wife
Cornelia said, âGo to bed now. Iâll take a shower and be right back.â
Cornelia didnât realize what she had just said. After telling Marcus to rest, she took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.
In the shower, looking at her naked reflection in the mirror, Cornelia finally realized that she and he were really going to share a bed tonight.
They were both adults, and as a married couple, it was perfectly normal to be intimate. But they lacked emotional foundation, and with Marcusâs poor healthâ¦
