Chapter 885


    Chapter 885


    Cornelia was bunking in the other bedroom, a bit small with a single bed It would be a squeeze for two,


    but she nned on having Patricia stay with her for the night. If Patricia found it too cramped, she


    could make use of the window daybed in the room, throw some quilts on it and turn it into a makeshift


    bed Back in her student days, Comelia loved doing her homework on the window daybed Once done,


    she would clear her little table away and he down for a rest


    As for Marcus, Corne thought she could either send him to a hotel or rig up a temporary bed for him


    in the study for the night. Of course, she would need to ask Marcus opinion on that


    Just as she thought of Marcus, he showed up. Busy bee Marcus was always on the move, helping


    Cornelia with the bedding, adjusting the mattress, hasically doing all the heavy lifting Cornelia couldn’t


    manage


    Cornelia shared her ns with him, “I’m thinking Granny Luisa and Bri could stay in my grandma’s


    room, Patricia and I in this one. We’ve only got two beds, so how about you head to a hotel for the


    night?”


    Marcus replied, “How about Granny Luisa and Patricia stay in your grandma’s room, Bri bunk with you,


    and I’ll just crash on the floor in the study or living room”


    Comelia. “You’re okay with crashing on the floor?”


    Marcus, “Why wouldn’t I be? I’ve done it for a month once.”


    Comelia. “You’re the CEO of the Hartley Group, always living a life of luxury. I didn’t know you’d be


    okay with sleeping on the floor”


    Marcus said, “There were times when the Hartley Group expanded into less developed countries, and


    living conditions were tougher than you’d imagine. Having a spot on the floor to sleep was a luxury”


    This was news to Cornelia. As his assistant and as his wife, she felt she hardly knew him. She made a


    m***l note to spend more time getting to know him. But the thought of him sleeping on the floor made


    her uneasy. “The weather in Rosenberg is quite humid, and the floor can get cold. Can your body


    handle that? If you don’t want to stay at a hotel, how about staying over at Zack’s ce tonight? He


    lives in the same neighborhood, just a different building. It’s only a few minutes away”


    Marcus, “I’m not as frail as you think.”


    He could go to a hotel, but he didn’t want to be too far away from her. He wanted to be there for her, to


    be there when she needed him. Even though Cornelia was acting as if nothing was wrong, what was


    going on in her heart? Maybe she was falling apart inside, just putting on a brave face. At a time like


    this, Marcus couldn’t let his guard down.


    Briana poked her head in from outside. “Patricia, Abby and Zack are back from shopping. They’re in


    the parking lot and could use some help with the stuff


    Cornelia, Tll go check it out.”


    Marcus, “You stay here. Ayden and I will go.”


    Cornelia grabbed his arm, calling out softly, “Marcus!”


    Marcus turned around, his gentle gaze falling on her, “What’s up?”


    Cornelia sniffled, fighting back tears, “Thank you!”


    Without him by her side, she might have been harassed by the people watching her the moment she


    set foot in the neighborhood.N?velDrama.Org owns this.
