Chapter 934
No dad was cool with other dudes digging his daughter, especially when that dude had been a thorn in your side.
Zack didnât say anything Marcusâ words were a punch to his gut
Cornelia quickly pulled Marcus aside, âCome help me with breakfast. They will wake up soon.â
In the kitchen, Cornelia gave him a look, âWhatâs your deal?â
Marcus, âIsnât it obvious?â
Cornelia, âAbsolutely, so clear it hurtsâ
Marcus, âHow can I sit back while heâs after Bri?â
Comelia, âZack and I both come from humble backgrounds. You think heâs not good enough for Bri, does that mean you think Iâm not good enough for you?â

Marcus hadnât thought that far, he just didnât want other guys fancying his little sister, âThatâs not what I meanâ
Comelia, âBut it sounds like it is.â
Marcus felt like he couldnât explain himself, so he didnât bother.
Cornelia went on, âZack knows better than to bother Bri. I wish youâd stop saying things that hurt him.â

chanceâ
Marcus was upset again, âYouâre nicer to him than you are to me.â
Cornelia didnât want to continue with him, so she turned around and started cooking. She started a pot of soup first, then prepared some bread.
With Cornelia ignoring him, Marcus hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, âCornelia, Iâll do as you say from now on. If you tell me not to hold it against him, I wonâtâ
