It seemed that President Hartley’s wife must have a similar figure to her.
After changing her clothes, Cornelia quickly left President Hartley’s wife’s dressing room. Holding her
damp clothes, she walked out to see Marcus already waiting for her on the living room sofa.
He had half–carried her here just a while ago, his white shirt fairly soaked. Now, however, he appeared
immaculate, evidently having changed into a new white shirt.
Thinking of the awkward scene earlier, Cornelia spoke somewhat uneasily, “President Hartley, how
much do these clothes cost? I can buy them. I’ll transfer you the money.”
“Do you think I’m short of cash?” Marcus shot her an annoyed look. She loved money but didn’t want to
owe him anything, “There’s a hairdryer in the bathroom, you can use it to dry your hair.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was their new marital home. Before his wife had moved in, Cornelia was using the stuff inside.
She felt bad about it.
If her husband brought another woman into their newly furnished home and let her use her things.
Even if there was nothing inappropriate going on, she would feel uncomfortable.
“President Hartley, I don’t need to dry my hair.” Cornelia untied her hair and let it fall loose, telling him it
would dry quickly on its own. Marcus understood Cornelia’s personality, her insistence on not drying
her hair must have her reasons. Besides, his intention was to protect her. If this protection made her
uncomfortable, then what was the point?
Without further ado, they both headed downstairs.
Leonardo and the others were waiting for them downstairs. As they descended, Zack and Abigail
immediately rushed over to Cornelia, looking at her with concern, “Nelly!”
Cornelia quickly explained, “I changed into one of President Hartley’s wife’s dresses at his house.”
Leonardo approached Marcus, “Marc, I’ve found out whose kid that was. The property management
will make them sell the house and move out, so they won’t appear in this community again.”
“Good.” Marcus was satisfied with Leonardo’s efficiency. He then looked at Cornelia, who was
explaining to Zack and Abigail, “Have you decided where you want to eat?”
Abigail chimed in first, “President Hartley, there’s a restaurant called La Lumière that’s really good, but
it’s quite pricey. We’ve always wanted to go, but couldn’t bring ourselves to because of the price.”
Marcus turned to Cornelia, “Do you like that restaurant?”
Cornelia honestly replied, “I’ve never been there, so I’m not sure if I would like it. But I heard that the
food there is expensive, so I’m a bit
curious to try.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince Cornelia wanted to go, of course Marcus would take her, “Then let’s go there.”
With that, they all headed toward the parking lot.
“President Hartley, you should know Nelly’s husband Jeremy, right? Jeremy is very good to Nelly. He
not only actively helped her find an interior designer, but he also paid for all the expenses. Nelly has
decided to live a good life with him and will not be easily swayed by other men.” Zack raised his voice
deliberately, making his meaning clear to Marcus.
Marcus, a married man, was being so good to his Nelly and didn’t know how to maintain a proper
distance with women other than his wife. This kind of man obviously couldn’t be trusted.
Marcus remained silent, and Zack emphasized, “And Nelly just said she hopes to have a child with
Jeremy as soon as possible.”
Without responding to Zack, Marcus turned his head sharply to look at Cornelia, who was a few steps
behind him on his left, “Do you like children?”
His voice was deep, magnetic, and gentle. It gave Cornelia the false impression that he wanted to have
children with her.
