    It had been a while since she looked away from him Marcus looked up at her, “You keep staring at me.


    Is there something on my face?


    Caught in the act, Cornelia awkwardly scratched her head, “I wasn’t looking at you. I was just checking


    the weather outside. The sun is so strong today that if you go for a walk, you mighte back with


    your skin peeling off.”


    She said she was looking at the weather, so let’s go with that. As her husband, he should be more


    amodating to her, “What did Dr Lester want with you?”


    Comelia said, “He just wanted to know how I convinced you.”


    Marcus asked, “Did you tell him?”


    Cornelia said, “Yeah”


    Marcus said, “We should keep our business to ourselves.”


    Comelia said, “He’s just looking out for you. And it was Dr. Lester who asked me to convince you, so of


    course I had to tell him. Otherwise, he might misunderstand our rtionship”


    Marcus asked. “Do you mind having a special rtionship?”


    Comelia said, “Yeah”


    Marcus asked, “Why?”


    Did he still not know that she already knew he was Jeremy? And he was still asking why?


    Did he think every woman wanted to have some kind of rtionship with him?


    Cornelia said, “You’re a married man, and I’m married too. If there’s anything unclear between us, it’s


    not good for either of us


    Cornelia’s words gave Marcus a glimmer of hope, “If I wasn’t married and you weren’t married, would


    you marry me and be my wife?”


    Cornelia didn’t reply Why would he suddenly ask such a straightforward question? Did he know that


    she knew already that he was Jeremy?


    Cornelia wasn’t sure, so she tentatively asked him, “President Hartley, why would you suddenly ask


    that?”


    Marcus said, “You just need to answer yes or no.”


    If they weren’t married, that would be great! But there were no ifs. She and he were legally recognized


    as husband and wife.


    She wanted to end this rtionship, but it was not that easy. So she said, “No”


    When she spoke, she clearly felt a sense of loss in Marcus’s eyes, a loss that seemed to carry a hint of


    harshness.


    Cornelia felt that he wanted to tear down the invisible barrier between them and be honest with each


    other. But she wasn’t ready to face him as his wife, so she had to deter him before he could speak out,


    “There are no ifs in this world”


    “No” was like a punch that hit Marcus hard in the heart.


    He had known that he might get such a result, but he stubbornly wanted an exnation, “Why?”


    If he wanted to ask, then she could take this opportunity to express her thoughts and investigate the


    truth of that morning. “There are three reasons. First, there is a huge gap in social status and wealth


    between you and me, second, I can’t ept an unfaithful man.”


    “Unfaithful? To Cornelia’s surprise, Marcus did catch the point she was trying to make, “Are you


    implying that I cheated?”
