    Chapter 484


    Marcus picked up his fork, ready to have a go at it


    Upon seeing his furrowed brows and the effort he was putting into swallowing, Cornelia found him kind


    of adorabile, “President Hartley, don’t force yourself if you don’t want to eat it. Not everyone likes this


    kind of food. I bet your wife doesn’t like it either, so no need to torture yourself


    Out of the blue, Marcus said, “If you like it, I’m sure my wife will too


    This left Cornelia speechless


    With Cornelia watching Marcus ate a few deep–fried grasshoppers. The greasy and slightly burnt food


    made him want to hurl the moment it touched his tongue Marcus couldn’tprehend how Cornelia


    could enjoy it so much.


    Comelia brought up something Briana had said, “It’s said that these are full of nutrition. It could be good


    for you to have some“


    After all, he still seemed young His physique wasn’t too bad, and there was probably still hope for him.


    Marcus asked, “You think I need to build up my strength?”

    Comelia didn’t answer.


    Marcus asked again. “Is there anything you don’t like to eat?”


    He realized that in all the time they spent together, she never seemed picky about food. She seemed


    content with whatever she ate


    Cornelia thought for a moment. “I don’t think there’s anything I don’t like. My grandma used to say that I


    was easy to feed because I wasn’t fussy”


    Though her words sounded light–hearted, Marcus instantly understood the sadness behind them. Her


    mother passed away shortly after she was born, and she lost her father in a car ident when she was


    just a few years old. These were hard blows for any child. She had to force herself to grow up and hide


    her vulnerability.


    Cornelia said, “Let’s go to another ce for food once we’re done here.”


    Marcus replied, “Alright.”


    After they left the ce, Cornelia bought some garlic–roasted oysters from a nearby stall. She loved


    the unique vor, though those unustomed to it might not be able to stomach even a single bite.


    Cornelia said, “President Hartley, you don’t have to eat this.”


    “I’ve eaten grasshoppers, why can’t I eat this? Just the smell made Marcus feel nauseous, but he


    ordered one anyway, continuing to apany Cornelia


    Cornelia basically took him to try all the snacks on vor Street. On their way back, Marcus’s stomach


    was doing flips, but he didn’t show it.


    Cornelia, riding shotgun, was clueless about this. She rubbed her belly and sent a voice message to


    Zack and Abigail, “Zack, Abby, the street food at Woodpine’s vor Street is so good it’s a pity you


    guys aren’t here. I couldn’t enjoy it fully by myself. There’s still so much I wanted to eat


    Marcus didn’t respond


    He had spent the whole night with her, yet she hadn’t mentioned him at all.
