Chapter 980
Cornelia gently lifted him up; this little boy who seemed light but was actually quite a handful. As Cornelia lifted him,
his face came close to hers and he planted a kiss on her, “I really like you!”
“I really like you too. Cornelia, holding the little boy, headed towards the management office, totally forgetting
about Marcus trailing behind them.
The little boy looked back at Marcus, sensing his displeasure, That man behind us doesn’t seem to like me.”

It was then Cornelia remembered she was out for a stroll with Marcus, and after encountering this little boy, she
had completely forgotten about him. No wonder Marcus looked a bit peeved.
Cornelia, holding the little boy, walked over to him, “I’m sorry! This little boy was just too adorable. I totally forgot

Her explanation seemed to irritate Marcus even more.
Cornelia said, “Don’t be mad. Crack a smile. You are scaring him.”
Little boy asked, “Why don’t you like me?”

The little boy started crying. His cries were loud, as if he wanted the whole neighborhood to hear him.
Cornelia felt for him. “Just hand him over to me, I’ll hold him.”
Marcus coldly said, “Don’t you dare cry again!”
His words successfully stopped the little boy’s crying.
The little boy no longer cried, but his expression was pitiful, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Help me. The little boy cleverly pleaded to Cornelia.
