Chapter 839
“It’s just a meeting. It won’t make a huge difference whether it happens or not Marcus immediately
He said it was just a meeting and it wouldn’t be a big deal whether it happened or not! Was that something Marcus would say?
Just overnight, what could have caused such a big change in him?
Seeing her standing there dumbfounded, not taking the cup, Marcus brought the cup to her lips, patiently comforting her, “Open up. The water has a throat soothing medicine in it. If you don’t drink, it might take a few days for your throat to heal”
Did he even know it might take a few days for her throat to heal? Why didn’t he think of that last night?
Even if Cornelia held a grudge, she wouldn’t gamble on her health, so she obediently opened her mouth and took small sips. After hydrating her throat, her voice indeed improved a lot, no longer feeling a burning sensation.
Marcus put the cup back on the nightstand, and gently rubbed her head, ‘I’ll get some food, you eat, then go back to sleep”
“No need, I’m not sleepy anymore. I’ll get up and eat myself Only then did Cornelia notice that he was already dressed neatly in his usual white shirt and black trousers, looking fresh and clean, in stark contrast to her disheveled self in bed.
The stark contrast in their appearances was a shock to Cornelia’s senses. She retreated slightly into the covers, “You go do your work at the office.”
“You are more important than work. Marcus sat down at the edge of the bed, gently enveloping her into his arms along with the thin blanket, patting her back gently soothing her like a child.
Comelia had always been defenseless against him. She nestled into his arms, smelling the faint fragrance on him, a sense of security she had never felt before filled her heart.
He called her name in a deep voice, “Cornelia…”
Cornelia, “What?”
“Cornelia.” He called her name in a sexy voice, not saying anything else, Cornelia’s ears turned red
She snuggled into him. “The meeting is so important today, how can you be absent? Go to work.”
“Okay” Marcus immediately fetched from the foot of the bed the clean pajamas he had prepared for her, “Let me know if you’re not feeling well.”
Marcus had hurt her during their first time being intimate as he didn’t quite understand at the beginning. After learning the ways, he lost control during their first experience of marital bliss, probably also hurting her.
Cornelia took the pajamas. “Just go.”
Marcus, “I’m not in a hurry”
Cornelia, “But I am.”
She was currently wrapped in a blanket and wearing nothing. With him here, how was she supposed to change?
