Chapter 686

Marcus was in pain, but he didn’t let go. He just chuckled under his breath.

Comelia was stunned.

Why was he laughing?

Could he still laugh at a time like this?

After a while, Marcus finally stopped laughing.

Even if she couldn’t see it, Comelia knew her lips must look awful right now.

Unable to argue with him, Cornelia lifted her foot, wanting to stomp on his foot. But she couldn’t bring herself to do it. No matter how much she was dissatisfied with him, she couldn’t do anything that might hurt him.

Marcus gently held her rosy cheek, his piercing gaze under his golden–framed glasses fixed on her, not letting her look away. “Tell me, what’s the deal with you and that guy?”

Comelia lightly pursed her swollen lips, her eyes filled with teardrops, she whispered, “I told you I don’t know him. Why won’t you believe me and keep asking me this question.”

She wouldn’t say, but Marcus had guessed some of it, “Do you still like him?”

“Like him? Is he worth it?” Cornelia blushed, seriously answering, “The only person I can like is my husband, and his name is Jeremy.”

Marcus was satisfied with this answer, “I should thank that man.”

Thank him for not marrying Cornelia, giving him the opportunity to meet her.

Cornelia watched Marcus warily, “What are you thinking? There’s really nothing between him and me. Don’t get the wrong idea.”

Marcus raised an eyebrow, “You’re that scared I’ll go find him?”

Cornelia nodded, “Yeah, I’m scared.”

This turned Marcus’s face dark, “Is he that important to you? Even after marrying me, you’re still thinking about him?”

His words made Cornelia’s eyes red, and she was on the brink of tears, “I told you I only have feelings for my husband, are you deaf? Or do you think I’m that pathetic? Dumped and still missing the one who dumped me?”

Cornelia looked at Marcus, who seemed confused. She added, “I’m afraid, because I’m scared you’ll do something stupid for such an unworthy person. The only one I worry about is my husband, not some irrelevant guy.”

Her nose tingled, her voice a little shaky, “Yes, I admit we used to date, but we broke up a long time ago. He dumped me. He thought i wasn’t good enough for him, that being with me would tarnish his family’s reputation.”

Marcus hugged her tenderly, soothing her, “Who dares to belittle you? Those who hurt you are the real criminals, and you’re just the

victim.”

Once a girl was labeled impure, she would be subject to gossip wherever she went. Marcus couldn’t fully comprehend this feeling, but he knew Cornelia was troubled by it.

And what he needed to do was to stand behind her, trust and support her. He needed to debunk all those rumors and accusations about

her with real actions.
