Chapter 1127
Cornelia didn’t wanna hear all that jazz that troubled her. So, she moved closer to Marcus and hugged him,
“Grandpa Augustine took me around to meet all these folks this afternoon, where the hell were you? I didn’t see
hide nor hair of you”
Cornelia thought Grandpa Augustine would introduce her and Marcus to everyone together. But at the Duran
family’s mansion, she found Marcus had upped and vanished. She didn’t see him at all that afternoon.
Marcus gently patted her head, “What’s the matter? You missed me or something?”
Cornelia didn’t hide her feelings, I missed you. More than I thought I would.”
Cornelia herself wasn’t sure when Marcus started to take up such a big part of her life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer words deeply touched Marcus. He’d been longing for her to say something like this, but also scared of it, “How
much did you miss me?”
Cornelia looked up at him, blushing, and whispered, “I missed you a lot. Without you by my side, I’m always lost in
my own world.”
Marcus tried to control his urge to kiss her, “That’s not a good sign. One should not depend too much on another.”
Cornelia started to feel anxious, “Marcus, I’m telling you that I miss you. Just tell me you miss me too I don’t need
your rational analysis!”
Marcus said, “Love is mutual attraction between two people. But in the end, we all need reason.”
Cornelia got pissed off and yelled, “Marcus, are you trying to piss me off to death, so you can go after some young
pretty girl?”
Marcus answered, “I have no such intentions.”
Cornelia said, “You’re not that heartless then. Where the hell were you this afternoon?”
Marcus replied, “I had a card game with Steven, Lucas, and a few others”
Cornelia asked jealously. “Who were you with? Women or men? Does it matter?”
Marcus answered, “Lenny.”
The moment Cornelia heard this name, she shut her trap. Such an important figure indeed worth Marcus leaving
her for.
Marcus asked, “Why so quiet all of a sudden?”
Cornelia replied, “I don’t know what to say”
Marcus said, “No matter what it is, I’m all ears.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia thought for a moment, ‘My grandma, my mom, and Skyler, are they really in heaven now? Sometimes I
feel like I’m stuck in a long dream, and everything will go back to normal when I wake up. I’ll see each one of
them.”
Marcus couldn’t answer these questions, so he lowered his head and kissed her.
Just as they were passionately kissing, a knock on the door broke the moment, followed by Grandpa Augustine’s
voice, “Nelly, are you in there?”
Cornelia got startled and quickly pushed Marcus away, frantically trying to fix her clothes.
Her nerves got the best of her and her clothes became even more disheveled, her face turning red from the
anxiety, “What do I do now? How am I supposed to face Grandpa Augustine like this?”
Marcus gave a slight smile, “Go freshen up in the bathroom, I’ll deal with Grandpa Augustine”
“Right, why didn’t I think of that? Don’t let him in until I’m ready.” With that, Cornelia dashed for the bathroom.
When he heard the bathroom door close, Marcus slowly got up to answer the door.
When the door opened and Grandpa Augustine saw Marcus, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. “What are
you doing here?”
