Chapter 153 

Steven called out, I’m just out here in the corridor, who are you on the phone with?” 

Then he pushed the door open and walked in, Zavier’s wife hasnt recovered yet,, and now your wife is sick too?” 

Marcus asked, What brings you guys down the mountain too?” 

Steven rolled his eyes. You can’t bear to leave your blind date wife, let alone Zavier leaving Skyler behind. He’s probably hugging a sleeping Skyler and bawling his eyes out” 

Marcus asked, How about the person I’m looking for?” 

Steven replied, He’s overseas at a psychology conference, won’t be back until around the 10th Get his travel expenses ready, and Fill have him fly straight to Riverton when he’s done.” 

Marcus simply responded, Alright” 

Steven’s gaze shifted to Cornelia, nestled in Marcus’s arms

Marcus quickly covered Cornelia with his jacket. “Are you asking for a poke in the cye?” 

Steven smirked, See how nervous you are. I’ve got a wife, I’m not eyeing yours. But I didn’t think in my life, I would be able to see you nervous about a woman.” 

Marcus, with a stern tone, shot back, Get out.” 

But instead of leaving. Steven took a seat on the couch, Marc, tell me, is being married better than being single

Marcus remained silent

Is being married better than being single

Perhaps no!! 

When you’re single, you only look out for yourself, never having to worry about any woman

But since being married, every move Cornelia makes seems to tug at his heartstrings, his mind no longer fully under his own control

Having his emotions controlled by someone else is a major nono for the boss of the Hartley Group. It’s something that should never happen to him, Marcus. Yet, here it is happening

It’s not a pleasant experience, but as a man, he has to step up to the responsibility of taking care of and protecting her 

Steven asked, What’s with the furrowed brow?” 

Before Marcus could respond, Cornelia shifted slightly in his arms, he immediately covered her ears, Steven, quit yapping, she’s trying to sleep. Beat it!” 

Steven didn’t need a verbal answer from Marcus; he already got the response he was seeking. Shaking his head, he chuckled, Keep playing it cool, mate. I’d love to see how long you can keep it up.” 

He wouldn’t want to end up like Zavier. That he would definitely make fine of him 

Just as Steven left, Cornelia’s phone started vibrating in her bag. Not wanting to disturb her, Marcus quickly pulled it out, intending to hang up the call

But when he saw the incoming video call was from Granny, Marcus had to answer it for Cornelia, to prevent the old woman from thinking wildly

Once the call was connected, Granny Rebecca asked anxiously, Nelly, are you okay?” 

Just as he thought, Granny Rebecca became suspicious because of Marcus’s phone call, so she called Cornelia to make sure everything was fine

Marcus replied, Granny, it’s me. Nelly was exhausted last night and she’s still asleep.” 

Marcus was halflying down with Cornelia in his arms, and the camera captured Cornelia’s face snuggled against his strong chest

This view looked more and more ambigoust
