Chapter 839
âItâs just a meeting. It wonât make a huge difference whether it happens or not Marcus immediately
He said it was just a meeting and it wouldnât be a big deal whether it happened or not! Was that something Marcus would say?
Just overnight, what could have caused such a big change in him?
Seeing her standing there dumbfounded, not taking the cup, Marcus brought the cup to her lips, patiently comforting her, âOpen up. The water has a throat soothing medicine in it. If you donât drink, it might take a few days for your throat to healâ
Did he even know it might take a few days for her throat to heal? Why didnât he think of that last night?
Even if Cornelia held a grudge, she wouldnât gamble on her health, so she obediently opened her mouth and took small sips. After hydrating her throat, her voice indeed improved a lot, no longer feeling a burning sensation.
Marcus put the cup back on the nightstand, and gently rubbed her head, âIâll get some food, you eat, then go back to sleepâ
âNo need, Iâm not sleepy anymore. Iâll get up and eat myself Only then did Cornelia notice that he was already dressed neatly in his usual white shirt and black trousers, looking fresh and clean, in stark contrast to her disheveled self in bed.
The stark contrast in their appearances was a shock to Corneliaâs senses. She retreated slightly into the covers, âYou go do your work at the office.â
âYou are more important than work. Marcus sat down at the edge of the bed, gently enveloping her into his arms along with the thin blanket, patting her back gently soothing her like a child.
Comelia had always been defenseless against him. She nestled into his arms, smelling the faint fragrance on him, a sense of security she had never felt before filled her heart.
He called her name in a deep voice, âCorneliaâ¦â
Cornelia, âWhat?â
âCornelia.â He called her name in a sexy voice, not saying anything else, Corneliaâs ears turned red
She snuggled into him. âThe meeting is so important today, how can you be absent? Go to work.â
âOkayâ Marcus immediately fetched from the foot of the bed the clean pajamas he had prepared for her, âLet me know if youâre not feeling well.â
Marcus had hurt her during their first time being intimate as he didnât quite understand at the beginning. After learning the ways, he lost control during their first experience of marital bliss, probably also hurting her.
Cornelia took the pajamas. âJust go.â
Marcus, âIâm not in a hurryâ
Cornelia, âBut I am.â
She was currently wrapped in a blanket and wearing nothing. With him here, how was she supposed to change?
Marcus seemed oblivious to her embarrassment. âI know I wore you out last night, rest today. Iâve also notified my grandmother, you donât need to visit herâ
How exactly did he notify her?
Marcus paused for a moment, then said, âDo you remember what happened last night?*
She got drunk last night. Marcus didnât want to consummate their marriage under such circumstances, but she insisted. At the last moment, he wanted to give up, but she didnât want to let go.
How could she forget something so important?
