Chapter 799
With her as an outsider joining in, the game was a whole new ball game. She meant well, trying to help. But in reality, she was just stirring up trouble.
Marcus shook her hand. âYou get what Iâm saying, right?â
Cornelia nodded. âI gotchaâ
She was still bummed that she couldnât help Hannah fulfill her little wish, Marcus glanced at his watch, âItâs twenty past eight, and the light show starts in ten minutes. Letâs all go watch it togetherâ
Cornelia asked excitedly. âAre you done playing cards?â
Seeing her so thrilled, Marcus was also chuffed, âPlaying cards can happen anytime, but things that make you happy, not so muchâ
Ignoring all the gazes around them, Cornelia kissed Marcus on the corner of his mouth, âMarcus, youâre the best!â
Damn!
Marcus adjusted his glasses, his eyes focused on her, suddenly becoming blurry. His Cornelia was so sweet and naive, she had no idea how much that kiss affected him. It took all his selfâcontrol not to cross the line with her.
Others, especially Zavier, exclaimed, âMarcus, you stole my wife and left me all alone. And now youâre flaunting your love in front of me, thatâs lowâ
She got carried away in the moment and kissed Marcus, not considering everyone else around them. Now being teased by everyone, she wished she could just hide.
Marcus simply responded, âLetâs finish this game, then weâll go watch the light showâ
The other three guys said almost simultaneously, âWhatâs so great about a light show? If we want to see one, we can simply pay for a bigger and better one. Wouldnât that be
better?â
That was how rich people talk They wanted a light show, just one word, and the best light show companies would be scrambling for their service. They never had to follow other peopleâs schedules; if they missed it, they could still watch it whenever they wanted
Marcus said, âIâm going, itâs up to you guys if you want to come.â
The other three guys immediately got it, âSo, your wife wants to see it?â
Marcus replied, âNo, I want to watch it with her.â
The three guys said, âSure enough, once a long time single guy tastes the sweetness of love, he canât extricate himself.â
Not only was his relationship with Cornelia great, his cardâplaying luck was also off the charts. He won the first round.
Werenât people supposed to have lousy luck in cards when their love life was going well? Why was Marcus the exception?
