    Chapter 500


    Natalia snapped back to reality and tried her best to mimic Cornelia’s way of speaking. ‘I heard you’re


    drunk. I’m here to take you home”


    “Alright, let’s go home Marcus tried to reach for her hand, but it froze just before he could touch her


    Even though his mind was foggy, he remembered that he was Marcus, not Jeremy Cornelia would


    reject any physical contact with Marcus.


    “Let’s go He tried to stand but his legs gave way and he sank back onto the couch.


    Natalia quickly moved to help him up. “Are you okay?”


    As she got closer, Marcus caught a whiff of her strong perfume. He scrunched up his nose and


    smoothly avoided her touch, “I might be a bit drunk, but I’m fine. I can walk on my own”
