Chapter 51
Cornelia quickly looked away, but no matter where she looked, she saw couples get all lovey dovey
It was obvious to anyone that these three couples were madly in love.
Cornelia felt awkward again.
This kind of couples‘ gathering wasn’t suitable for her, an assistant, to come. She had no idea what Marcus was thinking
All three men sat next to their wives. Marcus and Cornelia sat at opposite ends of the long wooden table
Steven had his arm around Hannah’s waist and kissed her passionately in front of everyone. “Sweetie, why are you so sweet? I cant get enough of you” Hannah blushed and pinched him hard. ‘Steven, everyone’s looking. Stop messing around”
Steven kissed her on the cheek again. “Alright, alright, I stop
Although Cornelia was married, she had never been this intimate with her husband. She felt embarrassed and wanted to hide somewhere.
However, everyone else seemed used to such scenes. Zavier even joked, ‘Marc, are you jealous?”
Marcus, eating leisurely from his plate, remained unfazed and unaffected by others. “Marriage is just for procreation. What’s there to be jealous of?”
Steven was the first to argue “Marc, when you’re with your wife, is your mind only on having kids? If it is, you two should divorce early and not waste each other’s time!
The three wives were also shocked by Marcus‘ statement, and their eyes turned to Cornelia in unison. “Ms Stewart, what do you think?”
Under everyone’s gaze, Cornelia, who had been trying to keep a low profile, thought carefully about this profound question.
She had seen many couples wanting to divorce due to a broken relationship but continue to live together for the sake of their children.
With this in mind, Cornelia thought Marcus made some sense.
However, she didn’t want to dampen the mood, so she found a euphemistic way to say, ‘Men and women get married to live legally as husband and wife. Married life can fulfill physical needs, but the ultimate result is still having offspring.”
Wow..” Lucas was dumbfounded “Marc, your assistant thinks like you.”
Everyone was surprised by Cornelia’s opinion, and their gazes at her became more curious.
Marcus also looked at Cornelia curiously, wondering if she thought that way or was only echoing him.
Steven hugged Hannah and said, “Honey, I love sticking to you because I love you, not because I want to have kids. Don’t listen to these two weirdos.”
Hannah glared at him. “If you don’t talk, nobody would think you’re dumb.”
Steven immediately shut up, and the room quieted down.
Hannah looked at Cornelia. ‘Ms. Stewart, you don’t have a boyfriend, do you?”
Her tone was curious but very assuring.
Cornelia understood what Hannah meant she was implying that Cornelia’s lack of relationship experience led to her opinion. “I’m already married.” Hannah looked at Cornelia in surprise. “Do you and your husband have a good relationship?”
“Not bad.” Cornelia smiled, not wanting to continue the topic
After dinner, they started playing cards.
The ladies played cards while their husbands sat and watched.
Only Cornelia sat quietly about a meter behind Marcus, playing with her fingers, seeming out of place.
After a round, Marcus turned to Cornelia “Cornelia, why don’t you play?”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
