Chapter 570
It had been a while since she looked away from him Marcus looked up at her, “You keep staring at me. Is there something on my face?
Caught in the act, Cornelia awkwardly scratched her head, “I wasn’t looking at you. I was just checking the weather outside. The sun is so strong today that if you go for a walk, you might come back with your skin peeling off.”
She said she was looking at the weather, so let’s go with that. As her husband, he should be more accommodating to her, “What did Dr Lester want with you?”
Comelia said, “He just wanted to know how I convinced you.”
Marcus asked, “Did you tell him?”
Cornelia said, “Yeah”
Marcus said, “We should keep our business to ourselves.”
Comelia said, “He’s just looking out for you. And it was Dr. Lester who asked me to convince you, so of course I had to tell him. Otherwise, he might misunderstand our relationship”
Marcus asked. “Do you mind having a special relationship?”
Comelia said, “Yeah”
Marcus asked, “Why?”
Did he still not know that she already knew he was Jeremy? And he was still asking why?
Did he think every woman wanted to have some kind of relationship with him?
Cornelia said, “You’re a married man, and I’m married too. If there’s anything unclear between us, it’s not good for either of us
Cornelia’s words gave Marcus a glimmer of hope, “If I wasn’t married and you weren’t married, would you marry me and be my wife?”
Cornelia didn’t reply Why would he suddenly ask such a straightforward question? Did he know that she knew already that he was Jeremy?
Cornelia wasn’t sure, so she tentatively asked him, “President Hartley, why would you suddenly ask that?”
Marcus said, “You just need to answer yes or no.”
If they weren’t married, that would be great! But there were no ifs. She and he were legally recognized as husband and wife.
She wanted to end this relationship, but it was not that easy. So she said, “No”
When she spoke, she clearly felt a sense of loss in Marcus’s eyes, a loss that seemed to carry a hint of harshness.
