    Chapter 837


    Marcus could give two hoots about what other people thought. He was already at the top, the big dog


    calling all the shots.


    As for Comelia, she was just the president’s assistant at the Hartley Group. Some people respected


    her because she had Marcus backing her up. Some despised her and even wanted her out for the


    same reason in a nutshell, if she was not yet the queen bee, she had to care about what people said.


    She knew this all too well


    As Marcus was thinking about how tofort her, Cornelia shifted a bit on his back, finding afier


    position, and suddenly asked, “Marcus, why don’t you want to have


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    kids with me?


    How much had she drunk? She was really going for broke tonight, saying whatever came to mind


    Marcus replied “I didn’t say I don’t want to have kids with you!


    Cornelia leaned in close to his ear, using him. “You’re a liar! Last time I asked you to have a baby


    with me, you t–out said you didn’t want to


    Marcus lifted her up. “I believe having a child should be based on a couple’s mutual affection, not for


    the sake of fulfilling someone’s wish. It’s about respect for each other and being prepared for a new life.


    Plus, making a baby is easy, but raising one ain’t no walk in the park. Once a kid’s in the picture, you’re


    in it for the long haul, no messing


    about.”


    After Marcus finished exining a sloshed Corne suddenly said. “But you didn’t think that way, you


    said marriage was all about having kids”


    Marcus was speechless. He had indeed said that, and she remembered it crystal clear. He began to


    wonder if she was just pretending to be drunk.


    Before he could reply, Cornelia continued, “I just heard Hannah say she wants a baby, but Steven said


    she’s not fit to bear his child. How could he say that about his own wife? Marcus, Steven’s your buddy,


    do you think the same way? If you think I’m not fit to bear your child, just give it to me straight, and I’ll


    walk away…”


    “Cornelia, if you dare to even think about not spending your life with me, I’ll really lose my temper!”


    Marcus cut her off, his voice deep and serious.


    His seriousness made Cornelia feel hurt, “Why are you mad at me? You can’t be mad at me! If you get


    mad at me again, I’ll give you the cold shoulder.”


    Marcus replied, “If you stop talking nonsense, I won’t get mad


    Cornelia said, “Then let’s make a baby tonight.”


    Marcus was speechless.


    After the argument, Marcus carried her home. He gently ced her on the living room couch and


    covered her with a light nket, “Rest up, close your eyes, I’ll go make some hangover soup.”


    Just as Marcus was about to leave, Cornelia suddenly grabbed his neck and pulled him over, her lips


    pressing onto his. Under the influence of alcohol, she kissed him unashamedly, boldly, and wantonly


    Marcus didn’t want to take advantage of her while she was drunk; he tried to push her away, but she


    clung to him like an octopus.


    When she had her fill of kissing, Cornelia let him go. “Marcus, can’t you have a baby with me? Let’s


    give it a shot, maybe you can.”


    “Cornelia, what are you talking about?” Marcus voice came out hoarse.


    Cornelia, oblivious to the problems her words and actions could cause, reached out to touch his face


    again, ‘Let’s try, okay? If you can’t, I won’tugh at you.”


    Marcus had no idea what she was talking about, and he didn’t want to argue with a drunk woman, so


    he put her back on the couch again, “Lie down and don’t move, I’m going to make some hangover


    soup.”
