Chapter 724
He held her tightly against him, burying his nose in her neck, “Actual sleeping. No funny business.”
How did he always know what she was thinking? Could he actually read minds? Or had he planted a bug in her brain?
Marcus gently patted her back, “Baby, time to sleep.”
He turned her on and then told her to sleep, but how was she supposed to get any shut–eye?
Just as Cornelia was lost in her thoughts, Marcus‘ breathing started to even out. He must’ve fallen asleep.
Cornelia closed her eyes, trying to sleep too, but their position wasn’t exactly comfortable. She attempted to move a bit, but he only held her tighter.
She couldn’t help but wonder, was Marcus faking it?
She poked his waist lightly, and when he didn’t react, she confirmed he was truly asleep.
With the assurance that he was asleep, Cornelia grew bolder. She moved slightly upwards, aligning her face with his.
Their proximity, due to his tight hold, was so close that just a slight lean forward from Cornelia would touch the tip of his nose. So, she deliberately leaned forward and nudged his nose with hers.
This intimate gesture seemed to instantly bridge the gap between them in her heart. She rubbed her nose against his, gently nuzzling.
Accidentally, she thought she saw his lashes flutter, thinking he woke up, and quickly drew back, closing her eyes and burying her face in his chest.
Unless he noticed her little stunt, she’d rather die than admit she was touching his nose.
Cornelia listened to his steady breathing, head buried in his chest. After a while with no movement from him, she dared to open her eyes and look at him.
He was sound asleep.
It was her guilt getting the best of her. He so much as twitched in his sleep, and she thought he
was awake.
Cornelia extended her hand, gently touching his face. Her fingers traced along the contours of his face, outlining his perfect facial features.
How did Marcus manage to have such a perfect face? If they ever had kids, would they inherit his good looks?
