Marcus didn’t expect Zavier to use these tactics on his own wife “Threatening Skyler with the Blue
family to get her back? Man, you’re just pushing her further away”
Zavier retorted, “As long as she stays with me who cares where her heart is?”
“Doesn’t it matter? Marcus asked.
“Why would I care?” Zavier shot back. “Tell me, if one day Cornelia wanted to leave you, would you use
extreme methods to keep her?”
Marcus firmly replied. “That will never happen”
Zavier persisted. “Hypothetically speaking”
1 would never do that,” Marcus insisted
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou sure about that?”
1m damn sure.” Marcus assured
If Cornelia still wanted to leave him after knowing his true identity, it would be because he hurt her. If he
hurt her, hed have no reason left to keep her around.
Zavier laughed “Well, Marc. I hope you walk the talk. Or else, I remind you myself ”
Marcus didn’t respond further. He hung up on Zavier, then dialed another number “Send more people
to protect Skyler. Don’t let Zavier’s guys get close, and don’t let her sense anything fishy She must live
freely”
After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for a response.
Looking at his bleeding hand, he shook his head helplessly Cornelia was a stubborn woman. Once she
made up her mind, she wouldn’t budge.
This trait had its pros and cons. She took things too seriously and was easily hurt. He had to find a way
to guide her, to change her slowly so she wouldn’t be overly emotional when facing problems Most

cooperated well at work and never mentioned what happened the other day, as if nothing had
occurred

call her grandmother in the US.
Her granny was very happy on the video call, spinning her phone around. ‘Nelly, can you see? Our
whole family is cooking together.”
Cornelia followed the camera, and saw housekeepers, helpers, and nurses in the house, but no sign of

Granny Rebecca replied, “Jeremy just called us before you did. He’s been busy with work like you.
Apparently, he’s dealing with a very complicated issue, so he couldn’t come home.”
“Granny,” Cornelia’s eyes welled up with tears. I’m sorry I can’t come home for Christmas again.”
She couldn’t return to Rosenberg before, and she thought she could bring her granny to Riverton for
Christmas this year. But work brought her to Paris which was miles away
Her granny was in poor health and getting older. Cornelia didn’t know how many more Christmases she
could spend with her
“Stop being silly and apologizing You didn’t intentionally avoid me. I understand the stress you young
people have these days. You need to work, buy a house, repay your mortgage, and I cant help you
“Although Granny Rebecca wished to have Cornelia home for the holidays, she didn’t show it. Cornelia
had been responsible since childhood and had endured a lot. She
didn’t want to add to her burdens
Granny Rebecca worried that any additional stress could be the last straw that broke the camels back
for Cornelia.
