Chapter 359
Marcus didn’t expect Zavier to use these tactics on his own wife “Threatening Skyler with the Blue family to get her back? Man, you’re just pushing her further away”
Zavier retorted, “As long as she stays with me who cares where her heart is?”
“Doesn’t it matter? Marcus asked.
“Why would I care?” Zavier shot back. “Tell me, if one day Cornelia wanted to leave you, would you use extreme methods to keep her?”
Marcus firmly replied. “That will never happen”
Zavier persisted. “Hypothetically speaking”
1 would never do that,” Marcus insisted
You sure about that?”
1m damn sure.” Marcus assured
If Cornelia still wanted to leave him after knowing his true identity, it would be because he hurt her. If he hurt her, hed have no reason left to keep her around.
Zavier laughed “Well, Marc. I hope you walk the talk. Or else, I remind you myself ”
Marcus didn’t respond further. He hung up on Zavier, then dialed another number “Send more people to protect Skyler. Don’t let Zavier’s guys get close, and don’t let her sense anything fishy She must live freely”
After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for a response.
Looking at his bleeding hand, he shook his head helplessly Cornelia was a stubborn woman. Once she made up her mind, she wouldn’t budge.
This trait had its pros and cons. She took things too seriously and was easily hurt. He had to find a way to guide her, to change her slowly so she wouldn’t be overly emotional when facing problems Most importantly, so she wouldn’t hurt herself again.
In the days that followed, Cornelia continued to work with Marcus on the Paris branch. They cooperated well at work and never mentioned what happened the other day, as if nothing had
occurred
In a blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve The first thing Cornelia did when she woke up was to video call her grandmother in the US.
Her granny was very happy on the video call, spinning her phone around. ‘Nelly, can you see? Our whole family is cooking together.”
Cornelia followed the camera, and saw housekeepers, helpers, and nurses in the house, but no sign of a familar yet strange man “Granny, Jeremy didn’t come home either?”
Granny Rebecca replied, “Jeremy just called us before you did. He’s been busy with work like you. Apparently, he’s dealing with a very complicated issue, so he couldn’t come home.”
