Chapter 718


    Chapter 718


    Marcus finally emerged from the bathroom, all d up in a white PJs, perched up on a single seater,


    legs elegantly crossed, book in hand, looking all sorts of a posh prince from a fairy tale.


    Even though she was used to his handsomeness, Cornelia was still often shocked by his good looks.


    Dang, Cornelia tried to control her inner nerves, bringing the juice to him, “How about you take a swig


    of this juice to cool down?”


    Granny said he didn’t like it, so Cornelia had prepared a whole speech to persuade him, but before she


    even started, he took the juice and started drinking, without a hint of discontent or reluctance.


    Cornelia moved closer to him, just watching him in silence.


    Marcus, “Why are you looking at me like that?”


    Cornelia, “Granny said you never drink juice, but you didn’t seem to mind it.”


    Marcus, “Because you brought it to me, I don’t want to go against your wishes.”


    Cornelia, “Oh…”


    Could you not be so straightforward? She was all confused about what to do again.


    He then said, “I sent Dr. Lester home.”


    Cornelia, “I called him here, and you sent him back. Are we ying games with him?”


    Marcus, “It’s his duty to follow me wherever I go.”


    Cornelia, “So, like Dr. Dawson? He needs to follow you wherever you go?”


    Speaking of Dr. Dawson, Cornelia recalled that she hadn’t seen her in a while.


    Marcus, “Yeah.”


    Cornelia, “Oh right, I know why you’re feeling feverish. Your mom put tonic in your soup, and they also


    did some stuff in your room… Bri also put a bug in your room, I need to find it. Otherwise, she’ll hear


    everything we say.”


    Marcus pointed at the side table, “It’s all here.”


    Only then did Cornelia notice the side table filled with items, a few sachets of fragrant herbs, and two


    small recorders, “I only knew because I overheard their conversation, how did you know there were


    bugs in the room?”


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Watching her adorably curious face, Marcus couldn’t help but chuckle, “Intuition.”


    Over the years, he’d been through a lot of dangerous situations which honed his senses. He could


    often sense when something was off at home.

    Not to mention, Briana was the one who nted the bugs. The recorder in the bathroom was hidden


    behind the shower gel, even a blind person could have found it.


    His brilliance and the way nothing escaped his eagle eyes had Cornelia suddenly feel a bit down,


    “When will I ever have your intuition?”


    Marcus, “Having such intuition isn’t necessarily a good thing.”


    Cornelia, “President Hartley, I feel like…”


    She didn’t finish her sentence, just gazing at him with her sparkling eyes.


    Marcus, “Feel like what?”


    Cornelia parted her lips gently, saying softly, “I feel like you’re bing more and more handsome.”
