Chapter 782
Hearing that he had been helping her again, Cornelia fell a warmth in her heart, “Thanks for the help! But I have
my own way of dealing with Clair, you don’t have to get involved”
Marcus asked, “How do you plan to deal with her?”
Jokingly, Cornelia said, “I can’t beat her up, nor can I pull her hair. So I can only fight fire with fire, use the public
opinion against her Clair is Granger’s wife, and everyone in Riverton knows, and I’m just an assistant. If we talk
about reputation, she definitely has more to lose than me. If she, as the lady of the Reese family, isn’t afraid of
getting embarrassed, what’s there for me to be afraid of!”
After grandma’s incident, Cornelia had planned to take Ayden straight to the Reese family for a showdown. If it
hadn’t been for seeing Marcus spending a lot of money to clean up the mess for her, she would have gone all in.
In the end, she didn’t go. But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t hold Clair accountable. She could also manipulate the

Marcus wasn’t surprised that Cornelia would use public opinion. He believed that Cornelia had the ability to destroy
Clair’s reputation. But he had to stop her, as he didn’t want her to regret it in the future, “Cornelia, can you promise
me something?”
Cornelia said. Tell me, if I can do it, I’ll definitely agree.”
Marcus said, “Leave Clair to me. Don’t touch her for now.”
Cornelia asked, “Why?”
Marcus paused slightly, then said, “She’s still useful.”
Cornelia said, “Alright. Since she’s still useful to you, HI let her run wild in Riverton for a few more days.”
Marcus said. “Thank you!”
Cornelia said, “We’re husband and wife, no need to be so polite.”
Marcus asked, “So, have you answered my question?”
Oh!
They had been chatting about other topics for so long, and she thought he had forgotten about that question. Why
did he still remember?
Cornelia, with her face flushed, said, “Have you had lunch yet? What did you eat? I bet you have no idea how much
I ate at lunch. Both grandmas and Patricia, all three of them kept piling food onto my plate, as if they were afraid I
wouldn’t get full.”
To avoid the question, Cornelia kept talking, not giving Marcus a chance to interrupt. After a while, when she
stopped talking, Marcus said, “If you don’t want to answer my question, it’s okay, I can wait.”
Cornelia hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell him her worries, “It’s not that I don’t want to answer you. I’m
not sure if I like you. Think about it, you were my boss for a year, and then just my husband for a few days. I
haven’t adjusted to your role change, how can I know if I like you?”
Marcus said, “Alright, take your time to think about it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at him, Cornelia suddenly said, “Let’s have a baby.“.
Before, Cornelia always put her career first, planning to wait a few years before having children. But after
grandma’s severe illness, she knew that she could wait, but grandma might not be able to. She hoped to fulfill all of
grandma’s wishes while she was still around.
Marcus turned his head to look at her, his expression serious, “You’re not even sure if you like me, but you want to
have a child with me?”
Cornelia replied, “We’re husband and wife. Our union isn’t because of love Marriage is about having children, and
it’s not wrong for me to want a child. What Cornelia said was exactly what Marcus used to think. In the past, he
never felt anything wrong with this idea, even considered his thoughts mature and rational. But now he realized
how absurd and irresponsible this idea was.
He thought admitting that she was his wife was being responsible for her, but in fact, he was just treating her as a
tool for childbirth.
He absolutely didn’t want to see her as a tool for having children. He firmly believed that if they were to have a
child, they must both like each other, then could they bear the fruit of love.
