Patricia stopped fretting and decided she would do whatever it took to protect her home. She wouldn’t allow
anyone to meddle in Marcus and Cornelia’s marriage or destroy their relationship
Men, they were all the same, prone to occasional screw ups. But as long as they were set straight in time, life could
carry on just fine.
“Marc, we’re fresh out of beddings. I washed some extra quilts today, and they’re still out drying We might not be
able to host Miss Tahlia for the night. Il tell Austin to drive her home after dinner Patricia said, knowing full well there
were spare beddings at home. But she knew Marcus well and trusted he would go along with her
“Marc, you’ve never been a fan of having too many people around. Having an extra person might disturb your

Tahlia looked at Marcus, “President Hartley, perhaps I should leave”
Marcus looked at Patricia coldly. “If you can’t even manage this, I can find someone else to do it
Patricia didn’t expect Marcus to defend Tahlia so fiercely, ‘No, Marc.”
Marcus wanted Tahlia to stay, a message Cornelia clearly got. She didn’t want Patricia to cause further trouble,
“Patricia must be tired today. I’ll handle it.”
“Appreciate it.” Marcus said.
This was Marcus’ reply to Cornelia However, when Cornelia looked at him, his eyes had already shifted to Tahlia.
Cornelia wanted to say something but didn’t know what to address. Dinner was finished in an odd atmosphere.
After dinner, Patricia cleaned up while Cornelia took Tahlia upstairs. Following Marcus instructions, she prepared a
new room for Tahlia with fresh beddings and even made
the bed for her
Tahlia, are you satisfied? If there’s anything you’re not happy with, let me know, and I’ll try to fix it” Cornelia said
Tahlia asked, “Are you mad at me?”
“Why would I be mad at you?” Cornelia asked.
“Maybe because I insisted on staying overnight and made Patricia uncomfortable Tahlia said
Cornelia smiled. “What kind of person do you think I am? Patricia is our elder, and treats me like her own daughter,
sometimes excessively protective. You don’t need to be mad at her

Cornelia smiled, “Okay, I believe you It’s late, and you have to work with him in the morning, get some rest.”
Tahlia pleaded-“Nelly, can you sleep with me tonight?”
Usually, Cornelia would agree to this request, but not tonight. Because she hadn’t seen Marcus for a few days and
she had a lot to talk to him about.
“Tahlia, I have a lot to talk to Marc about tonight Fll sleep with you another night. Cornelia said.
Tahlia held on to Cornelia’s arm tightly. “Nelly”
Cornelia gently stroked her head, “What’s wrong? Work pressure getting to you?
Tahlia shook her head. “No, there’s no pressure at work. President Hartley and Ben have been very kind to me,
always ready to help whenever I don’t understand something”
“Marcus teaching you to work?” Cornelia didn’t know Marcus had time to mentor assistants.
She remembered when she first started working for Marcus, he had very high standards for her work. She followed
him around anxiously every day, terfified she would make a mistake and get fired.
