Chapter 1011
Cornelia was pissed off, ranting and raving, but Marcus only caught one sentence.
She said the only person she cared about was him. That was all he needed to hear. The rest didn't matter.
He reached out, cupped her face gently, "Do you really think I give a damn if Dylan really betrayed me?"
This only made Cornelia angrier. She turned her head away, refusing to look at him, "Maybe I'm overthinking."
Marcus turned her face back to him, forcing her to look at him, "Cornelia, you're the only one I care about too."
The unexpected confession left Cornelia flustered. She blushed, avoiding his gaze. But Marcus wouldn't let her. He leaned in closer to her.
Cornelia thought he was going to kiss her again and instinctively closed her eyes. However, she didn't get the kiss she expected, just heard Marcus’ low chuckle.
Cornelia opened her eyes, her face flushed, glaring at him unhappily, "What are you laughing at? Stop laughing!"
Marcus pulled her into his arms, "You're such a bossy boots!"
Cornelia, "I am bossy. Are you not happy? Then bite me!"
Marcus did just that, biting her soft face. He bit a bit hard, leaving a circle of teeth marks.
Cornelia became angry, mimicked him, and bit him, too. Because of their height difference, she couldn't reach his face, so she bit his lip.
She bit hard, breaking his lip and the taste of blood quickly filled the space between them.
"What a shameless hussy.’ A neighbor coming towards them gave Cornelia a sidelong glance. On recognizing her, the words became even harsher.
"A girl should be reserved. Making out with a man in broad daylight is absolutely shameless. If my daughter dared to do such a thing, I would break her legs with her father."
Cornelia didn't want to bother with this person, but she kept crossing the line, "Your mother left you a few months after you were born, and your father died young. You've grown up without a mother. Now that your grandmother who raised you is also gone, I wouldn't be surprised by any shameless thing you do..’
Cornelia wasn't going to let this woman insult her, "What's wrong with me hugging my husband? Are we affecting you?"
The middle-aged woman blanched, then haughtily retorted, "Who knows if he's really your husband? After all, you've tried to seduce other women's husbands before. We don't know where you got that video from, but you got Orlando sent to jail......”
The middle-aged woman was still ranting when she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
