Chapter 255
She instinctively ducked back, accidentally hitting her head on the car window behind her, blurring her
vision with pain
Cornelia held back the pain and looked at Marcus immediately. She was relieved that Marcus seemed
to be asleep and completely unaware of what just happened
Comelia breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her chest Since Marcus didn’t notice her dozing off
on his shoulder, she decided to act as if nothing had happened
As long as she didnt say anything no one would know she had fallen asleep on his shoulder
Just as Comells was trying to reassure herself, Marcus opened his eyes at some point. His gaze was
fixed on her, which was a bit unsettling
Comelia stammered. President Hartley when did you wake up?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe looked temble. He watched her panicked state, the didn’t even cry out when she bumped her head
He said, “Does it matter when I woke up?”
Comelia knew by his cold tone and expression that he must have misunderstood her. He thought she
leaned on him on purpose, that she had ulterior motives
Comelia felt there was no way she could explain herself. Nervously, she said, “President Hartley, I fell
asleep and somehow ended up leaning on your shoulder. I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you I swear if I
didn’t have any other thoughts about you”
Before she could finish, Marcus put a finger on her lips, “Try saying that one more time”
This intimate action made Cornelia stiffen in fear She tried to back away, but the car door was closed
behind her. She had nowhere to go.
Her face tumed red, and she was on the verge of tears. “President Hartley”
He hadn’t even done anything extreme yet he had managed to frighten his own wife to tears.
A strong desire flashed in Marcus’s mind A voice in his heart was shouting he wanted to make her cry
in his arms.
But when her eyes filled with tears. That voice in his heart disappeared instantly. He steadied her head
with one hand, “Where did you hit?”
Comelia asked. “What?”
Had he only been angry and done something intimate just to be concerned about her hitting her head
on the window?
She sat there stunned without answering. Marcus gently felt her head and when he felt the large bump
where she had hit it, he looked even worse. “You’ve got such a big bump on your head and you didn’t
even cry out in pain. Are you losing your mind?”
Comelia helplessly kept her mouth shut
Marcus opened the center console and took out a tube of ointment, “Come closer”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis aura was very powerful. Even from a distance Comelia felt like he was about to swallow her whole
She was afraid to get any closer to him.
Comelia sat there motionless Marcus repeated, “I told you to move closer, didn’t you hear me?”
His dominance forced Cornelia to move closer to him
As she moved closer, he pulled her tightly into his arms. Her face pressed against his sturdy chest, she
could hear his rhythmic heartbeat.
Cornelia panicked and began to struggle, “President Hartley, you can’t do this!”
“What did I do wrong?” The gap in strength between men and women was evident. Marcus didnt let go.
Comelia struggled for a while, but was still held tightly in his arms.
Marcus didn’t care. He squeezed the ointment onto his finger and gently applied it to her injury. The
cool feeling of the ointment made Cornelia instantly feel the pain in her head lessen significantly
