Chapter 787
Hannah was still in disbelief, âCornelia, youâre his wife?â
Marcus replied, âYeah, Cornelia is my wife.â
Hannah looked at Cornelia again, the two of them made a good pair, pretty easy on the eyes. But no matter how good they looked together, it didnât change the fact that.
Well, the people involved in a relationship knew best and outsiders had no place to butt in. Although Hannah was confused, she didnât voice it out. Rosie, always one to speak her mind, asked outright, Marcus, Cornelia, have you two split up with your previous partners?â
Marcus explained. âThere was no previous partner. My wife has always been Cornelia!â
Rosie pressed on, âSo no one got swapped out? Whatâs going on exactly?â
Lucas, wrapping his arm around his wife, said, âWerenât you just saying that Marcus and Cornelia make a perfect couple and you hoped that Cornelia would be Marcusâs wife? Now youâre acting all shocked as if you canât accept it.â,
Rosie responded, âItâs not that I canât accept it. Iâm just too shocked and I still donât understand whatâs really happening.â
Steven suggested, This is a long story, letâs all sit down and have dinner first, we can chat while we eat.â
âYou guys go ahead and sit, I have some things I want to discuss privately with Cornelia.â Hannah felt that everyone else seemed to know about Marcus and Corneliaâs situation and only she and Rosie were left in the dark
She had to ask Cornelia what was really going on.
Steven chuckled and said, âHoney, is there something you canât ask in front of me? You know, Iâm a bit worried about Cornelia.â
Cornelia replied bluntly. âSteven, as long as you treat Hannah well, she will stand by you no matter what anyone says. Are you so worried about me being alone with her because youâre not treating her well?â
Steven looked helplessly at Marcus, âMarcus, can you manage your wife?â
Marcus backed Cornelia without hesitation, âDid she say anything wrong?â
Cornelia gave Marcus a grateful look for always standing by her side and supporting her.
Steven complained, âYou always listen to your wife! Are you even the Marcus | know?â
Lucas chimed in, âSteven, just let them talk. Youâre always clinging to your wife like a stalker, wonât she get tired of you?â
Marcus said, âLetâs go.â
Steven had no response, and Lucas simply dragged Steven away.
Rosie commented, âHannah, your husband really is clingy.â
Hannah gave a slight laugh and didnât continue the topic. She turned to Cornelia, âCornelia, can you explain to us whatâs going on with you and Marcus?â
Rosie interrupted, âWait, I have something to sayâ
Cornelia said, âAlright, you go first.â
Rosie said, âBefore you guys arrived, I was telling everyone that I hoped you and Marcus were a thing. I knew Marcus was bringing his wife to meet us today and I had a bit of a hard time accepting it. I had no idea that you were actually his wife. Did I hit the nail on the head or what?â
Cornelia laughed and replied, âYes, your prediction was spot on. You always seem to predict whatâs coming.â
