Chapter 1177
Back in the day, Cornelia wasn’t sure if what she felt for Marcus could be labeled as ‘like‘. She always thought she accepted Marcus simply because he was her husband. She even pondered over whether if another man was her husband, she would probably have the same attitude. So, Cornelia and Marcus just lived together in a plain manner.
However, this time Marcus suddenly went to France, marking the first time they had been apart for so long since she came into his life. After the separation, Cornelia’s mind was filled with Marcus, even in her dreams. He was clearly gone, yet it felt like he was always around, accompanying her.
It was then that she slowly realized that her longing for Marcus was not merely because he was her husband, but because she liked him.
Yes, she liked him. A lot! Maybe even more than she had anticipated.
Therefore, Cornelia, who had not received a response from Marcus, spoke again, a soft voice flowed from her lips, “Honey, I miss you! I miss you so
much!”
Practically no man could resist such tender and sweet Cornelia, especially when this man was Marcus. At this moment, his heart was filled with Cornelia. When he heard her softly calling him, impulse overcame Marcus‘ rationality. He didn’t want to think about the future anymore, he just wanted to have her as much as he could in the limited days.
‘I’ll be back to pick you up tomorrow.” Marcus said.
“Really? Are you really coming back?” Cornelia listened with joy in her heart, but was afraid of affecting his work, “Have you finished your work in France?”
Marcus replied, “I’ll pull an all–nighter today, should be able to wrap it up.”
Cornelia asked, “Which flight are you coming back on? I’ll pick you up at the airport”
Marcus replied, “I’ll tell you the time after I book the tickets. But there’s no need for you to come to the airport, it’s safest for you at home in Old Augustine, things aren’t settled with Zavier yet.”
Cornelia asked, “You know about Zavier looking for me?”
Marcus replied, “Yes, I know.”
Although Dr. Lester wanted to keep Marcus in the dark, not wanting him to worry further, Marcus still had other sources of information. Everything that happened while he was unconscious, someone informed him.
When it came to Zavier, Cornelia felt a headache, “I don’t know why Zavier would think that Skyler is hidden by you again? Why would he think Skyler is still alive?”
Cornelia asked again, “Is Skyler really still alive?”
Marcus didn’t want to continue this topic, “I don’t want to worry about their family issues. I need to have breakfast. After breakfast, I have a busy morning. You should have lunch too.”
