    Chapter 1232


    Zack pondered for a moment. She had lost her parents at a young age and was often referred to as an


    omen. She might not have been able to survive if she hadn’t persevered.


    “Why don’t you head home and get some rest,” Cornelia shooed him off.


    Zack, concerned for Cornelia, didn’t want her to be alone Td like to stick around for a bit, if that’s okay


    with you.”


    “Alright”


    They both leaned back against the couch, half–reclined, staring up at the ceiling.


    After a moment of silence, Zack started, “Cornelia…”


    “Hmm?”


    “We haven’t done anything terrible over the years, right?” Zack’s voice was barely a whisper.


    “Of course not,” Comelia replied


    “Then why have we had to deal with so much crap? Abby got mixed up with a bad dude, you did too.


    And me, I’ve been looking for a girlfriend but I’m still flying solo”


    Cornelia chuckled, “Maybe we’re just mas for shady characters.”


    “And me? Am I single because there’s something wrong with me?” Zack joked, trying to lighten the


    mood.


    Corneliaughed. “There’s nothing wrong with you. Plenty of girls are into you, you just haven’t found


    the one you’re into,


    Zack said, “Because I’ve got you and Abby, I want every guy youe across to treat you well, so I


    should treat every girl I meet well ”


    Hearing this, Cornelia felt a warm fuzziness inside, “Zack, having you and Abby in my life is the best


    thing that’s ever happened to


    Zack said, “Me too…”

    1. me.


    Cornelia draped her arm over Zack’s shoulder. “Thanks for sticking around, but I’m really okay. I’m


    tired, need to hit the sack. You should too!


    Zack nced at the time, it was past 3 in the morning. “Alright, I’ll head off. Remember, I’m here if you


    need anything.”


    “I know,” Cornelia said with a smile. She always knew that no matter what, she still had them.


    After Zack left, Cornelia went back to her room, crawled into bed, but sleep eluded her. Her mind was


    like a movie projector, ying back all her memories with Marcus.


    She remembered when she first started working with Marcus, she was sexually harassed Marcus didn’t


    hesitate to stand up for her. He taught her to say no to sexual


    harassment.


    Marcus gave her a strong sense of security. Maybe that was when he started to hold a special ce in


    her heart.


    Later, they went on a trip to the hignds for work, where she was injured trying to save him. Even


    though it left an ugly scar on her arm, she had no regrets. Because she felt a boss as excellent as him


    was worth it..


    Then, they went to France for work. When she was kidnapped by Zavier, Marcus showed up like a hero


    and rescued her. At that time, she knew he was married, but she didn’t harbor any inappropriate


    feelings for him. She never had any ulterior motives, but she certainly remembered his kindness.


    Later, when she found out that he was her husband Jeremy, the one who disappeared right after they


    got married, she struggled, but she quickly epted the truth.


    Cornelia had to admit, without her even realizing it, this man named Marcus had quietly stepped into


    her life..
