Chapter 699
Marcus answered coolly, âJust my gut feeling.â
His gut feeling?!
His gut feeling could accurately guess a girlâs bra size, which made it hard not to question if he did this often for girls.
Thinking that he could have been this considerate with other girls, suddenly made Cornelia feel unhappy. âDid you buy underwear for other girls before?â
Marcus was taken aback, then he laughed, âAre you jealous?â
He was handsome, but his smile made him even more charming.
Comelia looked away, not looking at him, which was the only way she could maintain a normal conversation. âYouâre changing the subject.â
Suddenly, Marcus grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, âCan you feel it?â
Comelia, âFeel what?â
Marcus, âMy heartbeat.â
His warm breath blew in her ear, making Corneliaâs heart beat faster, she let out a soft sound, âHmm.â
Marcus continued, âCornelia, look at me, and listen to me. You are the first, the only, and the last. I wonât prepare these things for anyone else.â
Preparing these things for her was a husbandâs duty, and he didnât expect her to be jealous about it.
Comelia felt satisfied with this answer. âThen leave me for a moment. I need to change.â
Marcus stood there, his gaze still on her.
Cornelia watched him warily, and swallowed nervously, âYou said⦠and there are people around today⦠you canât back out.â
âI keep my word. Take your time, wear whichever you like.â Marcus left the dressing room, closing the door behind him.
As soon as the door closed, Corneliaâs heartbeat finally returned to normal. She stood in front of a row of clothes, and randomly picked a skirt. Though it had no label, the fabric felt highâend, probably customâmade by Marcusâ designer.
She remembered Christmas in Paris. She didnât know he was Jeremy then, and he also prepared a whole dressing room of clothes for her, saying they were from Jeremy
She didnât want him to spend money on the clothes, and wished he could save some. Marcus must have laughed at her then, thinking a few hundred thousand was nothing to him.
After looking around, Cornelia chose a light grey set of home clothes to change into, thinking it would be convenient for helping in the
kitchen later.
She finished changing, folded her clothes neatly, and put them in a bag, ready to take home and wash.
She wondered if Marcus really could read minds, just as she thought of this, she heard him say, âThe clothes you took off will be washed, you donât need to tidy them up yourself.â
Cornelia, âItâs fine, I can wash them when I get home tonight.â
Marcus, âGoing home tonight?â
Wasnât this her home?
Where else did she want to go at night?
The grandmothers were here, and they had made such a fuss today, they definitely had a motive. They probabaly would stay here for a long time.
Cornelia came out in her changed clothes, and Marcus had also changed into a set of home clothes. Coincidentally, his clothes were also light grey, looking like a matching coupleâs outfit.
Cornelia silently sighed. Goodâlooking people looked good in anything.
Marcus looked at her. Cornelia was a little embarrassed by his gaze, and quickly walked up to open the door, âThe grandmas are waiting for us, letâs go downstairs.â
Comelia opened the door a bit too fast, as soon as she opened the door, a person fell towards her.
Briana, âAh-â
