    Chapter 754


    “We shouldn’t feel ashamed just because you’re the victim. The idea of ming the victim is the most


    absurd thing I’ve ever heard. The ones who should be shamed, med, and punished byw are those


    abusers.”


    Comelia looked at him, listening to his deep voice. It felt like she was back to a year ago when she was


    sexually harassed at work. He told her the same thing then.


    She wasn’t wrong, but the one who harassed her was.


    This society was often incredibly unfair to women. For instance, when a girl was secretly photographed


    and the pictures were uploaded online, the ones who should be med were those taking and


    spreading the photos. But instead, people online med the girl for dressing too provocatively, saying


    that if she wore pants instead of a skirt, no one would take her picture.


    Comelia took a deep breath and buried her head in his chest, “Why didn’t you hug me? Do you know


    how scared I was just now?”


    He probably had no idea how scared she was. She was afraid he would be like Roman, judging her as


    a loose woman and decide to divorce her.


    Marcus caught her as she leaned into him, holding her tight, “I’m sorry!”


    Comelia wnggled in his arms, “Stop saying sorry!”


    “Hey, what are you two up to? Surely you haven’t been hugging all afternoon?” Zack, just waking up


    and still a bit groggy, was heading to the kitchen to get some water. As he passed Cornelia’s room, he


    saw them hugging through the slightly ajar door, and he felt a pang of, jealousy, “You could at least shut


    the door if you’re gonna cuddle, why’d you let me see?”


    Cornelia lifted her head from Marcus‘ chest, “You’re awake? Your head still hurts? Are you hungry?


    What do you want for dinner?”


    Noticing the redness around Comelia’s eyes, Zack immediately became worried, “Did you cry? Did


    Marcus bully you?”


    Cornelia replied, “I’ve told you so many times, he’s been really good to me, and wouldn’t bully me, why


    don’t you believe me?”


    Zack didn’t answer.


    It wasn’t that he didn’t believe. He did. But seeing them together always gave him aplicated


    feeling. Like a father watching his son–inw, growing more and more dissatisfied.


    Just then, Marcus‘ private phone suddenly rang. He pulled out his phone and saw it was Granny Luisa


    calling, then smiled at Cornelia, “It’s Granny, she’s probably rushing us toe home.”


    Cornelia said, “Tell Granny we’re going to have dinner with Zack before we go back.”


    Today was Zack’s birthday, and Cornelia would never let Zack eat dinner alone, or else he would


    comin about it for the rest of his life. However, when Marcus answered the phone, his expression


    immediately changed. He paused, then said to Cornelia, “Your grandmother, suddenly falls ill, she’s in


    the hospital, we need to go now.”

    Two hours earlier.


    The Hartley family’s old mansion weed two long–lost guests. The guests were Roman and his


    mother, Sabrina.


    Granny Luisa had always been very kind, especially to friends she hadn’t seen in a long time. When


    she heard that they wereing. Granny Luisa had food and drinks prepared, and she personally went


    to the gate to wee them.


    Upon seeing Granny Luisa, Sabrina immediately gave her a big hug, “Madam, I’ve missed you so


    much!”


    Granny Luisa replied with a smile, “I’ve missed you too. Is this Roman? It’s been so many years, the


    boy’s all grown up now. What does he do for a living?”
