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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCornelia 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia 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?
If so, she wanted three – two boys, and a girl… The girl would be the youngest, who would not
only be loved by her parents but also cared for by her two older brothers.
Just thinking about it made Cornelia feel her daughter would be so lucky. Unable to contain her excitement, she
leaned forward and kissed Marcus‘ lips.
When he kissed her, it was always so dominant, and she was just swept along, her mind blank. She didn’t really
know what a kiss felt like.
