Chapter 145 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Briana had no intention of wrapping her head around these complex matters. With a dismissive wave of her hand, she said, “Nah, I don’t wanna learn. Teach Cornelia. She wants to learn, and you want to teach Don’t drag me the non–student type into this “You have to learn Marcus turned towards Cornelia He looked at her gently and said “if you want to learn, let’s learn together” Cornelia was all too happy to accept this attention. She hopped up excitedly. “Treally want to Mr. Hartley, could you wait for me for two minutes? I’m going to get my pen and notebook “Go ahead” Watching her retreating figure Marcus’s mood also became brighte Just the fact that she could study with him made her incredibly happy, she was such an easily contented person Briana was forced into a state of studying Whenever she had to study, she would feel sleepy. But Cornelia was very serious about her studies, not only listening attentively but also taking notes, like an exemplary student. Briana watched as the two of them, one seriously explaining the other seriously listening Their attention was all focused on the ancient book, fully engrossed, completely oblivious to her slacking off Sneakily she took out her comic book to continue reading, occasionally stealing glances at Marcus, afraid that he might discover she wasn’t paying attention.
• What she didn’t know was that she was just an excuse for Marcus to get close to Comelia. He really only wanted to teach Cornella “Mr Hartie, I don’t recognize this word Cornelia pointed to an unfamiliar ancient character, looking at him with hopeful eyes. “Can you help me identify it?” Marcus leaned towards her naturally. He once again caught a whiff of her unique scent. She didn’t wear any perfume, so why did she always smell faintly sweel? “Mi Hartie,” he was too close, Comelia could smell the faint scent of mint on him. She instinctively took a step back, “Do you recognize this?” Pulling himself together. Marcus responded. “It means husband “Husband“” Cornelia looked at it a few times, then said, “Mr. Hartley, so is this little story about a couple who separated after getting married, then didn’t recognize each other when they met again? if it wasn’t for the fact that he knew she was serous about her studies, Marcus might have thought she knew something. “Yes This is a story about a couple who separated after their wedding, and could still love each other when they met again” “This man is so inresponsible!” Perhaps thinking of herself, Comelia sighed, “He left his newlywed wife alone at home right after their wedding We’re lucky in this era. He must not have known how hard it was for his wife What an unreliable man Marcus tried to defend the male protagonist, “This man was also forced by life to leave his hometown and new wife. But after recognizing his wife, he treated her with all his heart. He can sort of be considered a good husband, right?” Comelia didn’t want to dwell on this issue. She had no position to judge the right or wrong of the people in the story After all, she wasn’t the one involved, didn’t know the situation at the time, and couldn’t understand the whole event from a few words. “Cornelia Marcus suddenly called her name. Cornelia looked up at him, always feeling that she saw something in his eyes. But his emotion disappeared too quickly, so fast that Cornella doubted whether she saw wrong.
• “Come with me to the Elite Auctions in Harbor City tomorrow Marcus hadnt forgotten that tomorrow was the day Jeremy would return to Riverton, and Jeremy couldn’t meet Cornelia for the time being He could only take Comelia away when Jeremy returned to Riverton, so as not to let them meet “Alright I get ready night away” Cornelia knew that the Elite Auctions was a famous charity auction Comelia quickly checked the auction time for the next day it was due to start at eight in the evening, so hopping on a plane around noon would still get them there on time. Then, she looked up flights from Riverton to Harbor City Both cities were top–tier so there were plenty of flights going back and forth all day Going by Marcus’s preferences, Cornelia booked a flight for ten in the moming A two hour flight would get them to Harbor City just in time for lunch. She told Marcus, “Mr. Hartley Eve booked a flight for ten Tomorrow morning to Harbor City” Marcus only wanted to keen Cornelia out of Riverton while Jeremy was in town but didn’t expect his casual comment to set off such a flurry of activity. “You don’t need to prep anything else I’m just going to have a look–see Carry on with your book” Even though Marcus said not to prep, as his assistant Cornelia had to be prepared. Otherwise, if they showed up at the auction clueless, she might as well kiss her job goodbye “Marcus, are you and Comelia heading to Harbor City for the auction?” Briana, finally willing to put down her comic book after catching wind of their conversation, asked, “I’ve got nothing on my plate recently, can I tag along? “If you behave, I might consider it Marcus gestured to her. He thought he was pretty clear, but Briana looked clueless, “What do you want me to do?”
