Chapter 1072
Comella cared the world for Skyler. There was no way she would do anything to embarrass her. Marcus saw
through her, “Comelia, don’t sweat what other people think Just go with your gut.” Comelia chuckled a bit, “But
opinions matter. We’re in a world where few can really do as they please.”
Could others do it or not? Comelia didn’t know. All she knew was that she couldn’t.
And she guessed Skyler probably couldn’t either.
Marcus said, “Let’s roll.”
“Sure” Cornelia glanced at Ayden.

Ayden had treated her the same way
On the other hand, Dr. Dawson, despite being with Marcus for years, got fired for disrespecting him.
Zavier’s bodyguard dared belittle Skyler, disrespect Skyler, which only meant Zavier had never shown Skyler the

so she said, “I’ve got a hankering for Buffalo wings There’s a joint near our place.”
Marcus said, “You navigate, Ill drive.”
Cornelia, “Sure.”

Before long, they reached their destination. Marcus parked the car on the side of the road, then went to the

said, “You pick the place next time. I’m not fussy, I can chow down on anything”
Marcus said, “I’m just not hungry today. It’s not about the food.”
Cornelia looked at Marcus seriously, “You’ve been looking off–color all night. How about we have Dr. Lester check
you out later?”
