Chapter 597
Did Marcus Hartley know that she knew they were married?
How did he know? When did he know?
Did she accidentally spill the beans?
No way, she hadn’t figured out how to play the wife role yet, she absolutely cant fess up.
So, Comelia Stewart decided that until she figured out how to handle her new role with Marcus, she wouldn’t admit
it, “President Hartley, what, what are you talking about?
I’m totally lost”
Her stuttering voice and clueless eyes were screaming guilt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill wouldn’t fess up, huh?
Marcus chuckled, “Not ready to admit it, huh?”
Marcus was no dummy, there was no way he could not see the changes in Cornelia recently
In the past, whenever he made even the slightest move that went beyond their relationship in work, Cornelia would
instinctively avoid it and quickly create distance between
them.
But now, every time he touched her, he could see the struggle and turmoil in her eyes.
A few days ago, she had run to the hospital late at night, asking him some weird questions about Jeremy, and then
texted Jeremy asking for a divorce on WhatsApp
During the days he took her to Celestial Chateau, he was quietly observing her every move.
When she hesitantly asked him if he had an affair with Natalia behind her back, he confirmed his suspicions.
Marcus was grateful that Cornelia voiced her doubts directly, giving him the chance to explain.
Cornelia decided to stick to her guns, ‘President Hartley, what do you want me to admit?”
Marcus took her hand and brought it to his nose, his voice sexy and captivating. “It’s okay, I’ll give you a few more
days.”
Today was May 4th, four more days until May 8th.
It’d been two years, and he didn’t mind waiting for her for another four days.
Cornelia wasn’t used to this level of intimacy, and she instinctively backed away, which triggered a strong
possessiveness in Marcus.
She retreated, he advanced, cornering her against the car window, “Cornelia, stop trying to avoid me, not in this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlife, not even in the next.”
From the moment they got married, she was his wife, and he wouldn’t allow her to avoid him anymore.
When he was with her, Marcus was always a perfect gentleman. She never knew he had this domineering side.
Right now, she felt like a lamb who wandered into a wolf’s den, and he was like a wild beast, ready to devour her at
any moment.
Just as Cornelia was at a loss, the car stopped, Austin’s voice came through the car’s intercom, “Marc, Cornelia,
we’re here.”
“Okay” Marcus responded, releasing the tie in Cornelia’s hair, letting it fall like a waterfall, loosely flowing over her
shoulders.
What did he take her for? Did he think she was his pet to toy with?
Cornelia got angry. “Marcus, what on earth are you up to?”
Marcus‘ eyes under his glasses showed a smile, “Finally calling me by my name.”
Cornelia was helpless at his response, “You…”
Marcus casually played with a strand of her hair, twirling it around his fingers.
