Chapter 123


    Chapter 123


    It was the night before a snowy day, and the weather was extra cold. Yet, his body was so warm, like a


    portable heater Cornelia, with her frozen nose snuggled closer to him. Her face was right against his


    heart, and Marcus’s heartbeat uncontrobly quickened


    It was the first time a girl had been so close to him, close enough for him to feel her breath, heartbeat,


    and touch her soft body


    Luckily, this girl was his registered wife, the one he was meant to protect for the rest of his life


    Marcus hugged her a little tighter and involuntarily slowed down so he could hold her a little longer


    But the girl in his arms mumbled, “Abby, you’re so warm?”


    She was drunk which was why she snuggled up to him and mistaken him for someone else


    Anger rushed to Marcus’s head and he said, “No more drinking”


    Twas happy today, so I had a few more drinks. I won’t drink anymore, except for social events “She


    rubbed against him, “Abby, Zack, I have to tell you, I made a new friend today”


    As she spoke, she let out another drunken hup


    Marcus frowned, “Who’s the new friend?”


    “How cold” She shivered in his arms and didn’t respond, as if what she had just said was sleep talk


    Worried about her getting too cold, Marcus didn’t waste any more time and sped up


    As he carried Corn back to the vi, Ben happened toe out of a room.


    Seeing this, Ben wished he was blind, President Hartley, I didn’t see anything.”


    Marcus shot him a nce and carried Cornelia back to their room.


    Ben hid back in his room, patting his chest in fear. It took him a while to remember something.


    He had smelled alcohol just now, but Marcus looked sober, so the one who had been drinking was


    Cornelia, and she might even be ckout drunk


    He had been with President Hartley for so many years and had never seen him have any inappropriate


    thoughts towards any woman. Ben had always thought that President Hartley was a gentleman who


    could resist temptation even if a beauty threw herself at him.

    But now?


    He wanted to take advantage of Cornelia when she was drunk? How was that any different from a


    beast?


    Ben thought he should bravely stand up and stop him, not letting the two–faced President Hartley take


    advantage of the situation!


    With courage, Ben approached Cornelia’s door, thinking he should kick it open like a hero and rush in


    to scold President Hartley.


    But when he got to the door, his legs were shaking


    For the first time, he realized how cowardly he was.


    It wasnt that he was a coward, but if it had been anyone but President Hartley in that door, he would


    have rushed in to save Cornelia.


    While Ben was lost in thought outside, Marcus was indeed busy in the room.


    Cornelia was afraid of the cold, so she wore a lot ofyers. Marcus took off her thick down jacket,


    revealing a thick sweater underneath.


    The sweater was a pullover, not easy to remove. He identally touched her soft chest while taking it


    off, and his usually calm face instantly turned red.
