Chapter 572 

After Marcus struck out trying to chat up, his only option was to bury his head in his book. He used to be able to focus on anything he did, but now he was always distracted by Comelia, as if she was more captivating than any book. He constantly wanted to touch her face, those rosy, plump cheeks. He wondered what they would feel like, if they would be as bouncy as a boiled egg? 

But, what really caught his eye were her bright and clear eyes. When she stared at him, he felt as if she had stolen his soul. 

While he was engrossed in watching Cornelia, Patricia walked in with some fruits and snacks. Patricia didn’t give Marcus a second glance, instead she walked towards Cornelia with a smile, “Cornelia, these snacks are homemade Give them a try and see if you like them? Patricia was so warm towards Cornelia, as if she already saw her as the lady of the house. 

“Thanks, Patricia” Cornelia didn’t really like to eat while reading. She was about to brush it off, but seeing Patricia’s eager face, she picked up a snack land took a bite. The snack was sweet and chewy, it melted in her mouth. Cornelia loved it, “Patricia, this is delicious. Did you use any special ingredients?” 

Hearing Cornelia’s praise, Patricia couldn’t hide her joy. “This is my own creation. I haven’t even named it yet. Maybe you can help me with that?” 

‘Sure.” Cornelia took another bite, “Patricia, what ingredients did you use in this snack? It’s so tasty” 

“There are walnuts, almonds, and peanuts. Cornelia interrupted Patricia immediately, “Patricia, did you say there are peanuts in this snack?” 

Patricia nodded, “Yes, I roasted and crushed them.” 

Hearing this, Marcus rushed over and grabbed Cornelia’s hand, “Patricia, go get Dr. Lester, Now.” 

Patricia was startled but hurried off to find the doctor, despite not understanding why 

Cornelia pulled her hand back and quickly drank several glasses of water. 

Marcus looked at her worriedly. “Cornelia, don’t be scared. Dr. Lester will be here soon.” 

Cornelia shook her head, “Don’t worry. I didn’t eat that much and I’ve drunk a lot of water. I should be fine.” 

When Patricia returned, she was very concerned, “Cornelia, what’s wrong?” 

Cornelia smiled, “Patricia, I’m sorry I forgot to tell you. I’m allergic to peanuts” 

Cornelia was an easygoing eater, she could eat anything except peanuts. Her body was extremely sensitive to peanuts, even a tiny bit would make her feel sick. If it got a bit more serious, she would break out in hives all over her body. And in extreme cases, she could even have trouble breathing. 

Hearing this, Patricia was so worried she was on the verge of tears, “Nelly, what should we do? I didn’t mean to, I didn’t know you were allergic to peanuts.” 

No, actually she did know 

Marcus had told her before, more than once. He told her that Cornelia was allergic to peanuts and that she should be careful. There should be no peanuts in the house. 

At that time, she even made a note of it in her work schedule. But she was so happy today that she completely forgot.
