Chapter 718
Marcus finally emerged from the bathroom, all clad up in a white PJs, perched up on a single seater, legs elegantly
crossed, book in hand, looking all sorts of a posh prince from a fairy tale.
Even though she was used to his handsomeness, Cornelia was still often shocked by his good looks.
Dang, Cornelia tried to control her inner nerves, bringing the juice to him, “How about you take a swig of this juice
to cool down?”
Granny said he didn’t like it, so Cornelia had prepared a whole speech to persuade him, but before she even
started, he took the juice and started drinking, without a hint of discontent or reluctance.
Cornelia moved closer to him, just watching him in silence.

Cornelia, “Granny said you never drink juice, but you didn’t seem to mind it.”
Marcus, “Because you brought it to me, I don’t want to go against your wishes.”
Cornelia, “Oh…”
Could you not be so straightforward? She was all confused about what to do again.
He then said, “I sent Dr. Lester home.”
Cornelia, “I called him here, and you sent him back. Are we playing games with him?”
Marcus, “It’s his duty to follow me wherever I go.”
Cornelia, “So, like Dr. Dawson? He needs to follow you wherever you go?”
Speaking of Dr. Dawson, Cornelia recalled that she hadn’t seen her in a while.
Marcus, “Yeah.”
Cornelia, “Oh right, I know why you’re feeling feverish. Your mom put tonic in your soup, and they also did some
stuff in your room… Bri also put a bug in your room, I need to find it. Otherwise, she’ll hear everything we say.”
Marcus pointed at the side table, “It’s all here.”
Only then did Cornelia notice the side table filled with items, a few sachets of fragrant herbs, and two small
recorders, “I only knew because I overheard their conversation, how did you know there were bugs in the room?”
Watching her adorably curious face, Marcus couldn’t help but chuckle, “Intuition.”
Over the years, he’d been through a lot of dangerous situations which honed his senses. He could often sense when
something was off at home.

shower gel, even a blind person could have found it.
His brilliance and the way nothing escaped his eagle eyes had Cornelia suddenly feel a bit down, “When will I ever
have your intuition?”
Marcus, “Having such intuition isn’t necessarily a good thing.”
Cornelia, “President Hartley, I feel like…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, just gazing at him with her sparkling eyes.
Marcus, “Feel like what?”
Cornelia parted her lips gently, saying softly, “I feel like you’re becoming more and more
handsome.”
