Chapter 257 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband
- Nah, he’s not Marcus The guy looked exactly like Marcus, but with a significant difference in height and build. He just couldn’t be Marcus Natalia felt a wave of dread and quickly backed away, “Mr. Rivera, what are you trying to do?” Zavier said to the man, “Pretend to sleep with her. If she can’t act convincingly you’ll have to really fuck her.” With that, Zaver left. Now it was just the man and Natalia in the room. Natalia clutched her clothes tightly, “I can play along, but you can’t really touch me…” As the man was undressing, he retorted, “Who do you think you are? Who would want to touch you?” Natalia muttered something under her breath, but the man didn’t catch it, “What did you say?” Natalia, “Nothing” To protect herself, Natalia had no choice but to play along with the stranger. After the act, Zavier returned Natalia was still in shock and didn’t dare to look at him Zavier lit a cigarette and casually glanced at Natalia, ‘Ms. Reese, you’re not bad at acting. You did a good job today.” Finally feeling a bit relieved, Natalia looked up at Zavier nervously, clutching her clothes, “Can I leave now?” Zavier slowly approached her, smirking. “You almost ruined my plan today, you know?” Now that his plan was successful, Zavier didn’t look as terrifying Natalia mustered up the courage to reply, “You were the one who got Marc drunk and didn’t notice he was faking it. It’s not surprising that I didn’t notice either.” “Is that what I asked? Zavier knew Marcus wasn’t easy to fool.
- He was prepared, otherwise he wouldn’t have found a lookalike so quickly. Fearing further trouble, Natalia asked anxiously. “Then what did you mean?” Now that he had time, Zavier wanted to know, “What did you do that made Marcus realize you weren’t Cornelia?” Natalia said, “Nothing I was just about to help Marc undress when he woke up and asked who I was.” *Really?” Zavier scrutinized Natalia’s face. If she didn’t speak, he could hardly tell the difference between her and Cornelia How did Marcus figure it out? “Did you say anything?” he asked Natalia, “No.” From Natalia’s reaction, Zavier was pretty sure she wasn’t lying. He decided not to press further, “You better act like nothing happened today. Don’t tell anyone about this. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, next time I won’t just make you act. I might even let him really get it on with you! Natalia was taken aback. She glanced at the man on the other side of the bed. His half face looked a bit like Marcus, but the other half without makeup was nothing like him Natalia knew makeup could change a person’s appearance, but she had never seen it transform someone into another person completely Natalia didn’t understand why Zavier would do this, ‘Why would you want Cornelia to misunderstand that I’m with him?” It should be Marcus‘ wife who got involved in this mess. Why Cornelia? Zavier chuckled, “Ms. Reese, the more you know, the worse it is for you. You’d better curb your curiosity Natalia asked, “Can I leave now?” Zavier replied, “Of course!” As Natalia stood up, she realized her legs were too weak to hold her up.
- Zamer had someone escort her out After Natalia left, the man who had just played Marcus finished removing his makeup. He looked respectfully at Zavier, Mr. Rivera, I’m heading out.” Zavier nodded. “Your sisters makeup skills are top–notch. We’ll need you guys in the future, so don’t let your skills get rusty” “I understand‘ The man respectfully withdrew without saying another word. Once the man had left, Zavier lit another cigarette, took a few hard puffs, then laughed, ‘Marc, why are you so stubborn? If you had given Skyler back to me, Cornelia wouldn’t have misunderstood you. Now I’m curious, how are you going to convince Cornelia that nothing happened between you and Natalia?” When Cornelia returned home, Zack and Abigail were having breakfast. They were surprised to see her back. Almost simultaneously, Zack and Abigail asked, “You came home so late last night, weren’t you going to sleep in today before going to Southern Peak? Where did you run off to this early?” Cornelia opened her mouth to explain her morning, but decided against it, “Marcus got drunk, and I picked him up” Zack started nagging “Once our studio is doing better, you should quit this job that gives you no personal time and focus on your comics.” As he spoke. Zack served Cornelia a bowl of oatmeal for her, showing his care in his own way.
