Chapter 39
Marcus pushed his silver-rimmed glasses up his nose and lit a cigarette “You can go now”
How can you treat me like this? I did you a favor, and now you’re kicking me out without even offering me a drink?” Ryan plopped down on the couch. Tim not leaving today”
Marcus said “Ava, please get a glass of water for young Mr. Colwell
Does young Mr. Colwell want water? I don’t think he’s thirsty.” Ava chimed in. Her tone was quite unfriendly.
Ryan replied. “Ava, even you’re picking on me now?”
Ava was her fifties, and she had raised Marcus. He and his friends never treated her like a s***t. They treated her more like an elder who nagged at them occasionally
She brought him a bottle of mineral water. “Young master, if you’re going to mess around, don’t drag him into it. The marriage is half over. You don’t want the old lady will come back and scold you”
A year and a half ago, when Ava heard that Marcus was getting married, she was so happy she had the villa decorated festively, even preparing a baby crib. She had no idea he would go. abroad for a year after the wedding
Since the old lady was the only one who liked the girl, she thought the marriage would end. However, on the night Marcus returned, he asked her to redecorate the house to welcome his
wife
His tone was the gentlest she had ever heard as if he intended to give all his gentleness to that girl
Hearing that they were to welcome the mistress, Ava happily redecorated the house to make it appealing to a girl. But the next night, Marcus didn’t bring his wife home
Meanwhile, due to his busy work schedule, he hadn’t returned to the villa, and she had yet to hear any news about this Mrs. Hartley, who she was really looking forward to meeting Now! Ryan came here, saying nonsense like that they were divorced, she was irritated and couldn’t force herself to be pleasant to him.
“Ava, you can’t blame me for this.” At the mention of the old lady of the Hartley family, Ryan got scared and planned to leave. “Marc, I’m going abroad tomorrow. Sorry I can’t stay with you for your birthday, but I did get you some very special gift. Gonna have someone bring it to you in a few days.”
“No need “Marcus turned to go upstairs when Ava called out, “Marc, can I ask you a question?”
Marcus stopped. “Go ahead.”
Ava asked. “Are you seriously divorcing Mrs. Hartley? Are you not bringing her home?”
“There won’t be a Mrs. Hartley in this house anymore, so stop bringing it up.” Marcus’ phone dinged with a local car accident news alert as he finished speaking.
As Marcus was about to swipe open the notification, he saw the delicate face on the news coverage. He anxiously grabbed his car keys and rushed out, leaving a puzzled Ava behind.
Marcus sped to Riverton First People’s Hospital and, following the address from the news, found Cornelia’s room.
He had just reached the door when he heard Cornelia’s voice, “Zack, it’s just a little scrape, don’t worry.”
As he looked through the small window in the door, he saw Cornelia half-lying in bed, with a man sitting beside her, his hand on her forehead, gently asking, “Are you okay?”
Do you want me to get up and walk around so you can see I’m fine?” She pretended to get up, but the man pressed her back on the bed.
“We’re staying in the hospital for observation tonight, no matter what. You have to listen to me on this.” The man had his back to the door so Marcus couldn’t see his face.
A sudden urge surged inside Marcus to barge into the room. He needed to see the man who had earned her loyalty and to understand why he deserved all her attention.
“Sir, who are you looking for? A nurse checking in on patients interrupted his thoughts.
Marcus glanced at the nurse and walked away.
He went to the parking lot, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
