    Chapter 1183


    Cornelia snapped back to reality, hastily tearing off Marcus’ sleeve to bandage his wound. Luckily,


    Zavier didn’t get the chance to fire a second shot. Ayden was the first one to rush in and subdue Zavier,


    followed by the airport security, who managed to control the situation and set up a cordon. Thankfully,


    Dr. Lester was also there, he immediately took out his medical kit and treated Marcus’ wound


    Marcus wasn’t seriously injured, just a few scratches on his skin, but Cornelia was teary-eyed with


    worry. “Jeremy, you big dummy! Don’t you realize how dangerous it was? You could have been killed if


    that bullet was off by just a bit. You idiot, why do you have to be so reckless? Can’t you think of yourself


    when you’re in danger?”


    Cornelia kept scolding Marcus for being a fool, her eyes filled with tears.


    Marcus pulled her into his arms with his unharmed hand, “Silly girl, it’s because you’re my wife. I’ve


    heard people say, ‘the husband should take care of his wife”


    Cornelia mumbled, “That’s old-fashioned.”


    Marcus shook his head, “I don’t think it’s old-fashioned, A husband should be able to withstand any


    danger. Even if the sky falls, he should protect his wife from all dangers.”


    Cornelia said with emotion, “You can’t be so reckless in the future.”


    The future? Did he have a future? Did they have a future?


    Marcus hoped for a future more than anyone else. But he knew there was no future for him.


    Marcus gently touched Cornelia’s head and softly said, “Okay”.


    Because of the incident, the airport was closed for a few hours, only resuming operations after a


    thorough security check and upgrade.


    As a result, Cornelia and Marcus didn’t get back to Riverton until one o’clock in the morning.


    Austin drove them straight back to Celestial Chateau.


    Cornelia was tired and fell asleep in Marcus’ arms during the ride.


    When they arrived at Celestial Chateau, Marcus didn’t wake Cornelia, but carried her straight to their


    room.


    Patricia was about to greet them but when she saw Cornelia asleep, she quickly shut her mouth,


    showing a kind smile. If it wasn’t sote, she would have immediately reported to Granny Luisa at the


    Hartley Mansion that Mr. Hartley and Mrs. Hartley’s rtionship was getting better.


    Back in the room, Marcus gently put Cornelia on the bed, then went to the bathroom to get a towel to


    wash her face. But as soon as he let go, Cornelia grabbed him. With a strong pull, Marcus lost his


    bnce, his tall body leaning towards her.


    His lips just happened tond on hers, and Cornelia took the opportunity to kiss him.

    Marcus propped himself up, not allowing her to get her way, “I haven’t showered yet.”


    Cornelia tugged at his shirt, her hand quickly slipping inside, “How about we shower together?”


    Why would Marcus have a reason to say no?
