Chapter 797
Whenever Marcus dined with them all the utensils had to be brand new He had always been such a fusspot, but
now he could eat Cornelia’s leftovers without a care in the
world!
Cornelia was also taken aback by this. She watched as Marcus nonchalantly finished off her leftover meatball, her
cheeks flushing. “Why are you eating my leftovers?”
Marcus looked at her blushing face, his voice low and gentle, “You said you couldn’t finish, and didn’t want to waste.
Im still hungry, so I helped you out”
Cornelia retorted. If I can’t finish Ill just take less next time You don’t need to force yourself like this”
“Who says I’m forcing myself? Marcus replied, “I have hands, you don’t need to serve me I can do it myself”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCornelia didn’t want it to be this way, but she’d grown used to serving him over the past year. When they ate
together, she always thought of taking care of him first. “It’s a habit Ive developed over the past year, and it’s not
going to change overnight Just give me some more time, I’ll try to change”
Marcus once again transferred the food she didn’t want from her plate to his, “Some habits need to be broken
sooner rather than later, especially the one where you rush in front of me to shield me from danger That can’t
happen anymore”
Comelia replied, “That was an instinctual response. Before my brain could even process what was happening, my
body had already rushed forward. It’s pretty scary thinking about it now Earlier Zavier was really unstable, if he had
slapped me, my face would definitely be swollen From now on, I’ll definitely be more rational and won’t dash in
front of you anymore”
She said that, but deep down she didn’t really mean it. Even when Marcus was just her boss, she was willing to get
hurt to save him. Now Marcus was not only her boss but also her husband. No matter what danger came their way,
she would always shield him from it.
Marcus asked, “So you know to be scared now?”
Cornelia nodded vigorously, “I do.”
Marcus added, “If you dare to do something dangerous again, I’ll have to punish you.”
Cornelia asked, “How are you going to punish me?”
Marcus remained silent
women
Cornelia realized her question might have been a bit too vague and quickly lowered her head to eat, “Let’s just eat.
Do we have any other plans after dinner?”
Whenever this group gathered, they usually just ate and played cards. Given how awkward things were today,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia suspected they might call it quits after dinner. However, she underestimated them greatly
After dinner, they started a poker game
Zavier, who was just confronting Marcus earlier, was now calling him Marc in a friendly manner. His tone and
attitude couldn’t be friendlier.
Cornelia even wondered if Zavier and Marcus had just had an argument.
Zavier sat down first without greeting anyone, then turned to Marcus, “Marc, are you playing or is your wife?”
Marcus turned to Cornelia, “Do you want to play?”
Cornelia shook her head, “No!”
Cornelia didn’t like playing cards, especially when the stakes were high. If she lost too much, she was worried her
body couldn’t take the stress.
Marcus reached over and ruffled her hair, “Then you can just sit next to me and watch. If you get bored, let me
know. We can go home earlier
“No worries, you haven’t seen them in a while, so have fun” Cornelia was understanding, and besides, the girls had
already planned to go watch a light show in the rooftop greenhouse later
