Chapter 1184
Cornelia ended up regretting it. She wasn’t sure when it was, probably after being woken up by Marcus for
umpteenth time in a drowsy state, she started to feel remorse. Marcus was not in good health, but their marital life
seemed unaffected, which puzzled Cornelia.
Cornelia didn’t know how long she had slept, only that she had slept much later than the day before, even until five
in the afternoon. This was the first time in many years that Cornelia had slept so late.
When Patricia saw Cornelia coming downstairs, her smile was very suggestive, “Nelly, you had a tough night. Have
some soup to replenish your energy.”
Cornelia was indeed hungry. She hadn’t rested all night and had slept all day. It was normal to feel hungry.
However, her first thought was not about eating, but looking around, “Where’s Marc?”
Patricia answered, “Mr. Hartley went to the company early in the morning. Before he left, he told me that you

Last night was indeed initiated by Cornelia, and she was becoming bolder in front of Marcus. But such matters were
private between a couple, and it felt a bit embarrassing to hear others talk about it. “Patricia, let’s drop it.” Cornelia
said.
Seeing Cornelia blushing, Patricia knew she was shy, “Okay, let’s drop it. Go and have your soup.”
“Okay” Cornelia agreed.
But when she saw the blackish soup mixed with god knows what, she couldn’t drink it. “Patricia, I don’t want this. I’ll
eat something else to fill my stomach first, and eat together when Marc comes back.
Patricia said, “This is a body-enhancing soup, specially delivered by Granny Luisa. Nelly, bear with it, one sip can do
good for your body and make it easier to get pregnant”
Cornelia pouted her mouth, regardless of whether this medicine was really effective, she finished the bowl of foul-
smelling and hard-to-swallow stuff.
Cornelia asked, “Patricia, does this really work?”
Patricia replied, “Getting pregnant, of course, requires both you and Marc to work together. This is just to help
adjust your body, make you look more energetic, so your chances of getting pregnant naturally go up.”
To Cornelia, as long as the chances of getting pregnant were high, there was a good chance of having a baby,
“Patricia, do you hope for a boy or a girl?”
Patricia replied, “As long as it’s Marc and your child, whether it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll be happy.”
Cornelia laughed, “Then I’ll have twins. A son and a daughter at once.”
Upon hearing this, Patricia also got excited, “Good, twins are good, just have twins. After the children are born,
Granny Luisa and I can each take care of one.” The two laughed as they spoke, as if just by saying it, they could
really give birth to twins.
“What are you guys laughing about?” Marcus’ deep voice suddenly came from behind. Cornelia turned her head
and saw the tall Marcus. At a certain moment, she felt like she was seeing Marcus for the first time, unable to take

Cornelia quickly got up and walked towards Marcus, “You’re back.”
Marcus wrapped his arms around Cornelia, “I applied medicine to you last night, how does it feel now, does it still
hurt?”
His question was sudden, but Cornelia quickly understood his meaning. Her cheeks instantly turned as red as if they
were dyed with blood.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Cornelia said.
Marcus asked, “Really?”
Cornelia glared at him, “Patricia is still here.”
Patricia said, “I didn’t see anything nor hear anything. I’ll go make dinner.”
Marcus pulled Cornelia down to sit, “I have something to discuss with you.”
Cornelia asked, “What is it?”
Marcus said seriously, “You mentioned before that you want to set up a women’s mutual aid organization. I want
you to go all out for it, and let someone else do the assistant’s work.”
Cornelia thought she must have heard wrong. “Come again?”
