Chapter 95
Marcus asked, “Anything else?”
Cornelia looked baffled. “What else?”
Not getting the answer he wanted, Marcus went silent for a bit, “Nothing”
Cornelia Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Her boss seemed really off today
She turned back around and obediently sat in the passenger seat. About half an hour later, the car drove into the villa area.
The nearby villa area was close to the city and had a sea view Celestial Chateau was the most luxurious part of the area, taking up a vast amount of land
After entering the villa area, they drove through a few kilometers of tree–lined roads before entering the Celestial Chateau area.
First, they saw the gardens, and further in, there were several small buildings.
The outermost one was for the servants to live in, while the others were for hosting family and guests. The small building where the owner lives is located at the highest position in the
Celestial Chateau area
Every rooms balcony in the main house had a sea view, and you could even see your own golf course.
In short, In Cornelia’s eyes, this was the residence of a mega–rich person!
After the driver parked the car, Cornelia hurriedly got out the car to open the door for Marcus, but this time Marcus got out of the car before her.
He glanced at her, “Let’s go.”
Normally, he would walk ahead with Cornelia following behind him. However, today he deliberately slowed his pace to walk alongside her.
But Cornelia was used to following behind him. If he slowed down, she’d walk even slower, making sure not to walk side by side with him
Seeing this, Marcus sped up, and Cornelia followed closely
Patricia greeted her warmly as usual, Ms. Stewart, you’re here. What would you like to drink?”
“Patricia, I just have some water, please.” Cornelia didn’t want to trouble others too much, but Marcus jumped in, “Give her some hot water, and be mindful of the food.”
Patricia: “Yes”
Marcus then called out to the confused Cornelia, “You sit first.”
Marcus was acting weird today, and Cornelia felt uneasy. She just wanted to get her work done quickly, “President Hartley, please give me your instructions.”
From the moment he picked her up until now, she had hardly spoken to him about anything other than work. Couldn’t they talk about something other than work as husband and wife? “Who said there’s work?”
“No work?” If there’s no work, why did he call her to his house? Cornelia thought to herself but didn’t dare say it out loud.
At that moment of silence, Dr. Dawson and Ayden arrived.
“Dr. Dawson is here; let her check you out.” Marcus got up and walked upstairs, with Ayden following him.
Cornelia was still confused, “Check what?”
Dr. Dawson sat down next to Cornelia, took her pulse, and asked with a smile, “When was your last period? Did you fail to take contraception and accidentally get pregnant? Did you take any hormonal drugs during that time?”
Patricia got excited upon hearing this, ‘Ms. Stewart, are you pregnant? Congratulations!”
Cornelia asked, “Dr. Dawson, who said I’m pregnant?”
Dr Dawson You’re not?”
Dr. Dawson was Marcus’s friend, and Marcus was at Hannah’s party last night, so the one who loves to gossip was Marcus
He, a grown man, actually believed the rumors and spread unverified information, tarnishing her reputation.
If this news reached her nominal husband, and he mistakenly believed the rumors, she would be at a huge loss if he demanded compensation for his mental distress.
Cornelia rarely revealed her true emotions in front of strangers, but this time she was genuinely angry, “No! We haven’t reached that stage yet. Where would the chuld come from?”
