Cornelia notice Marcus, and he saw her as well. Both of them were disturbed by the noise from room
203.
At this moment, Cornelia wished she could turn invisible.
However, Marcus remained calm and collected. He was not affected by the couple next door at all.
Cornelia wanted to pretend she hadn’t seen him and snuck away, but Marcus stopped her. “Can’t sleep

How can you still ask such a question so calmly?
Are you even a normal human being?
Marcus seemed unaware of how awkward Cornelia felt. He walked towards her, “Since you can’t sleep,
join me for a drink at the bar
Cornelia nodded. “Okay.”
Anywhere but here would be fine.
The stairs were on the side of room 203, and they walked one after the other towards the stairway,

Cornella was confused, but her mind gradually cleared. She realized that agreeing to drink with Marcus

Marcus’ gaze moved away from her face, and the gentleness in his eyes disappeared in a flash, “Walk
with me?”
Cornelia nodded, “Sure.”
There were many flowers in the garden, and the fragrance of flowers wafted through the night breeze.
The two of them walked silently, with Cornelia trying several times to break the silence but not knowing
what to say, and in the end, she said nothing.
