    Chapter 649


    Marcus and Cornelia were checking each other out. He was rocking a white tee and ck casual pants


    today.


    They’d been together a year and no matter if it was summer or winter, he’d always step out in a white


    shirt and ck dress pants. Today, for the first lime, she saw him in something less formal


    Why the sudden switch up in his style? The answer came into view when Cornelia spotted the


    sneakers on his feet


    She was the one who bought those for him. He had changed his outfit just so he could wear the


    sneakers she bought when seeing her if not for the sneakers, she would have totally forgotten that she


    once bought him shoes. Yet he remembered such a small thing…


    Cornelia felt a warmth in her heart, looked up at him, and saw his deep gaze behind the silver framed


    sses.


    He adjusted his sses, a smile spreading across his face, “You look stunning”


    He wasplimenting her, Cornelia knew, and it threw her off a bil


    Thank heavens for Abigail who came out to break the awkwardness. “If you guys are going on a date,


    get going already The weather’s perfect. Don’t waste it.”


    “Let’s go Cornelia made the first move to escape the awkward atmosphere


    Marcus followed closely behind


    Zack and Abigail watched them leave the room and enter the elevator Abigail sighed, “How can


    Cornelia be so gorgeous? She doesn’t seem out of ce standing next to a hunk like Marcus”


    Zack leased, “No matter how stunning Cornelia is, she can’t escape being chased by the bad boys.”


    Abigail retorted, “Zack, stop being jealous Marcus is a good guy, and we should be happy for Cornelia.”


    Zack responded, “I’m happy for her, but I’m also allowed to have my own feelings.”

    Abigail said, “You used to say Marcus had bad intentions towards Cornelia, none of us believed it.


    Today, I finally understand why you felt that way.”


    Zack asked, “You get it too?”


    Abigail said, “Don’t you think the way he looks at Cornelia makes you ufortable?”


    Zack said, “The way he looks at Cornelia is too possessive, I’ve only seen that kind of look in the


    animal kingdom, when a predator is hunting. I’m worried he has ill intentions, that Cornelia might be


    deceived. But knowing he’s Marcus, I guess I can understand”


    Abigail said, “Yeah, he does look at his woman with a gentle, somewhat domineering, and possessive


    gaze.”


    Zack said, “Stop imagining things.”


    Abigail said, “I’m not imagining. You saw it too. The way Marcus looks at Cornelia, as if he can’t wait to


    have her. I’m certain, Marcus likes Cornelia, and he’s already deeply in love with her


    Zack said, “You seem to really get it!”


    Abigail said, “Let’s just wait and see. Maybe by this time next year, I’ll be holding my goddaughter.”


    As the elevator doors closed, Marcus reached out and held Cornelia’s hand. Cornelia instinctively tried


    to pull away, but as soon as she moved, Marcus tightened his grip. His palm was big and warm, which


    couldpletely envelope her hand and transmit his warmth to her.


    Then, his deep and powerful voice echoed in her ear, “Cornelia, can I hold your hand?”


    Cornelia looked up at him, “You’re already holding it, why are you asking?”


    Marcus replied, “Because I want to know if you’re okay with me holding your hand. If you’re strongly


    against it, I won’t force you”


    Cornelia said, “I’m not against you holding my hand, trying to pull away was just my body’s instinctive
