    Chapter 797


    Whenever Marcus dined with them all the utensils had to be brand new He had always been such a


    fusspot, but now he could eat Cornelia’s leftovers without a care in the


    world!


    Cornelia was also taken aback by this. She watched as Marcus nonchntly finished off her leftover


    meatball, her cheeks flushing. “Why are you eating my leftovers?”


    Marcus looked at her blushing face, his voice low and gentle, “You said you couldn’t finish, and didn’t


    want to waste. Im still hungry, so I helped you out”


    Cornelia retorted. If I can’t finish Ill just take less next time You don’t need to force yourself like this”


    “Who says I’m forcing myself? Marcus replied, “I have hands, you don’t need to serve me I can do it


    myself”


    Cornelia didn’t want it to be this way, but she’d grown used to serving him over the past year. When


    they ate together, she always thought of taking care of him first. “It’s a habit Ive developed over the


    past year, and it’s not going to change overnight Just give me some more time, I’ll try to change”


    Marcus once again transferred the food she didn’t want from her te to his, “Some habits need to be


    broken sooner rather thanter, especially the one where you rush in front of me to shield me from


    danger That can’t happen anymore”


    Comelia replied, “That was an instinctual response. Before my brain could even process what was


    happening, my body had already rushed forward. It’s pretty scary thinking about it now Earlier Zavier


    was really unstable, if he had pped me, my face would definitely be swollen From now on, I’ll


    definitely be more rational and won’t dash in front of you anymore”


    She said that, but deep down she didn’t really mean it. Even when Marcus was just her boss, she was


    willing to get hurt to save him. Now Marcus was not only her boss but also her husband. No matter


    what danger came their way, she would always shield him from it.


    Marcus asked, “So you know to be scared now?”


    Cornelia nodded vigorously, “I do.”


    Marcus added, “If you dare to do something dangerous again, I’ll have to punish you.”


    Cornelia asked, “How are you going to punish me?”


    Marcus remained silent


    women


    Cornelia realized her question might have been a bit too vague and quickly lowered her head to eat,


    “Let’s just eat. Do we have any other ns after dinner?”


    Whenever this group gathered, they usually just ate and yed cards. Given how awkward things were


    today, Cornelia suspected they might call it quits after dinner. However, she underestimated them


    greatly


    After dinner, they started a poker game


    Zavier, who was just confronting Marcus earlier, was now calling him Marc in a friendly manner. His


    tone and attitude couldn’t be friendlier.


    Cornelia even wondered if Zavier and Marcus had just had an argument.


    Zavier sat down first without greeting anyone, then turned to Marcus, “Marc, are you ying or is your


    wife?”


    Marcus turned to Cornelia, “Do you want to y?”

    Cornelia shook her head, “No!”


    Cornelia didn’t like ying cards, especially when the stakes were high. If she lost too much, she was


    worried her body couldn’t take the stress.


    Marcus reached over and ruffled her hair, “Then you can just sit next to me and watch. If you get bored,


    let me know. We can go home earlier


    “No worries, you haven’t seen them in a while, so have fun” Cornelia was understanding, and besides,


    the girls had already nned to go watch a light show in the rooftop greenhouseter
