    Chapter 179


    Thanks for doing me a solid today. If you think the food is alright, my wife should dig it too” Marcus said


    sincerely, with Cornelia not sensing any ulterior motives from him


    Thankfully, she didn’t stuff herself at dinner, so she had room to sample his cooking


    Once they were seated, Cornelia expected Marcus to eat first, but he nudged the sd bowl towards


    her, “Give this a try”


    Since she was his taste tester, Cornelia didn’t hold back


    She picked up her fork. Being allergic to shrimp, she left it on the side of the te and only ate the


    veggies


    “You dont like shrimp?”


    “No, it’s not that,” Cornelia exined, Tve been allergic to it since childhood”

    Marcus immediately pulled the sd back to his side, not letting her eat any more, “Are there any other


    foods you’re allergic to?”


    Cornelia shook her head, “No”


    Without asking any more questions, Marcus made a mental note of this


    He pushed some pasta towards her, “Try this.”


    “Sure” The tender rib–eye steak with the richly vored tomato pasta was delectable.


    Watching her enjoy her meal, Marcus raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes twinkling behind his silver–


    rimmed sses, “If you fancy it, just let me know next time, and I’ll cook it for you.”


    Cornelia was so engrossed in her food that she didn’t quite catch what he said and nodded


    subconsciously.


    It seemed like his wife was subconsciously willing to get closer to him.


    This thought cheered Marcus up quite a bit.


    Before long, all the pasta had found its way into Cornelia’s stomach.


    Marcus looked up at her, noticing a bit of sauce on the corner of her mouth, and naturally reached out


    to wipe it off.


    The move seemed suggestive, and Cornelia almost jumped off her chair in surprise.


    Marcus casually extended his finger, “Sorry! I’m a bit OCD. I saw some sauce on your lip and couldn’t


    resist wiping it off.”


    Cornelia was speechless.


    What’s gotten into her recently?


    Why is she always love to think about things?


    He’s a married man and he’s made it clear that he harbors no feelings towards her. Why’s she still


    overthinking it?


    If she keeps this up, it’s bound to affect her work.
