    Chapter 913


    Hank feigned surprise. “Your husband? You’re so young, so I thought you didn’t even have a boyfriend


    yel. I didn’t expect you were already married Where’s your hubby from? What does he do?”


    The old folks always asked these kinda questions. Hank was a good buddy of Cornelia’ste father, so


    she indulged him. “He’s from Riverton, Working in business From the moment Hank stepped into the


    room, he could feel the strong vibes from Marcus, so he was always hesitant to look his way But now,


    he mustered up some courage, stole a nce at him and felt even more uneasy. He still plucked up


    enough courage to pat Marcus on the shoulder. “This young man is quite the looker. You two make a


    cute couple.”


    Marcus nced at the spot where Hank had touched him, looking somewhat displeased.


    “Thanks!” Comelia walked to the side and poured Hank a cup of coffee, “Have a seat and drink some


    coffee.”


    Hank sat down, first looking around at the others in the room, then checking his watch


    Zack also came to entertain Hank, “Staying up all night can get tedious. We’re ying cards, fancy a


    game?”


    “I don’t know how to y. You guys carry on. I’ll just watch, Hank waved his hand, then subconsciously


    checked the time again and looked towards the door.


    Zack said, “You’re not from Rosenberg, are you? It’s my first time seeing someone your age who


    doesn’t know how to y cards”


    The folks in Rosenberg loved a good card game, and there were many ways to y. As the older


    generation’s entertainment options were few, card games were quite the hit among them. Almost every


    older person knew how to y and liked to y. The younger generation, with more forms of


    entertainment, might not be as into cards anymore, but mostly everyone knew how to y. So, hearing


    Hank say he didn’t know how to y cards surprised everyone.


    Hank chuckled, “I wasn’t actually born in Rosenberg. I only lived there a few years when I was young,


    and that’s when I met Cornelia’s father.”


    Since he wasn’t born in Rosenberg, not knowing how to y cards was understandable


    Zack and the others carried on with their card game, while Hank sat watching.


    Even though he was watching them y cards, he was actually keeping an eye on the time and the


    door. As time passed, his expression became anxious, showing signs of unease


    After sitting for maybe half an hour, he stood up and said to Comelia, “I gotta split now. When’s your


    granny’s funeral? I’lle by then.”


    Comelia quickly told him the time of her grandmother’s funeral.


    Hank said, “I’ll swing by then.”


    Cornelia walked Hank to the door, “Take care.”


    Marcus also came to the door, ‘I’ll see him off.”


    Comelia said, “Okay”

    Marcus and Hank got into the elevator together.


    The moment the elevator doors closed, Hank felt the strong murderous intent from Marcus. He looked


    up at Marcus but couldn’t detect anything off on his face, which made him feel even more uneasy.


    The elevator quickly descended, and soon they were on the first floor. Hank stepped out, saying, “I’ll be


    going then!”


    But the moment he stepped out of the elevator, his path was blocked by Ayden who had been waiting


    by the elevator door.


    Hank was so startled that he took a step back and hit the elevator door with a loud thud, “Who are you?


    Why are you blocking my way?”


    Ayden coldly stared at him without uttering a word.


    Marcus said, “I’ve been looking for you for days with no luck, I didn’t expect to see you here.”


    Marcus‘ voice was as cold as a sharp de, making Hank feel ufortable, “You’re looking for me?


    We don’t know each other, why are you looking for me?”


    Marcus let out a coldugh, “You don’t know me, but you know ir. You two seem quite chummy”
