Chapter 817
Comelia felt that if it wasn’t for Marcus‘ sake, Ayden might have lost his cool on her
Why was Ayden so louchy when it came to setting him up with someone? Was it possible that he’d been burnt in this area before?
Questions swirled in Cornelia’s mind but she didn’t pry. After all, it was basic manners not to dig into stuff others didn’t want to talk about, “All in all, I really owe you one! And I gotta thank Marcus too. He must’ve sent you over as soon as he got my SOS, that’s why you got here so quick.”
“You may not know this Ayden said, “But in actual fact, Marcus had me on your protection detail a few months ago.”
Cornelia was taken aback, “Why?”
“Zavier isn’t a pushover. He’s even tougher to handle than Brennen. Marcus helping Skyler escape set off Zavier’s alarm bells. Zavier’s one to hold grudges. He knew you were Marcus‘ wife, and Marcus was worried he might come after you, so he assigned me to protect you. But you can rest easy. I’ll only show up when you’re in danger, won’t intrude on your daily life, and Marcus won’t use me to snoop on your personal stuff”
Cornelia hadn’t really considered the privacy issue. She was more concerned about Marcus‘ safety, “You’re his most trusted bodyguard What’s gonna happen to him now that you’re with me? He’s in a lot more danger than I am.”
Ayden wasn’t just responsible for Marcus‘ safety; he was a sharp weapon at Marcus‘ side who’d diffused many threats for him. And Marcus had readily sent such an important person to protect her. These thoughts sent a wave of pain through Cornelia’s heart.
That big fool, Marcus!
“There’s more than just me at Marcus‘ side.” Ayden said.
Cornelia knew there were others around Marcus, but Ayden was the one he trusted the most, “Ayden, you should go back to Marcus. You need to keep him safe and out of danger”
“Mrs. Hartley, that’s not your call.” Ayden replied
