What a pain in the ass!
He did it on purpose to piss her off!
......
On the way back, Ayden was the driver.
Cornelia and Marcus sat in the backseat.
Because of the argument just now, they each leaned on their side of the car after they got in, leaving a big gap in the middle, neither seemed to be in the mood to talk to the other.
Soon enough, Marcus dozed off in his seat. He had pulled all-nighters before. Last year in Paris dealing with some issues, Cornelia even stayed up with him a few times, but he didn't seem this tired back then.
She guessed his old condition might be acting up again. Even though Cornelia was still angry, she immediately sent a message to Dr. Lester, asking Dr. Lester to come and check on Marcus again. Then, she gently turned Marcus' head, hoping he could rest more comfortably on her shoulder.
However, the moment she touched Marcus, he suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce killing intent in his eyes. When he saw it was her, the killing intent disappeared instantly.
Cornelia said, "It's me."
Marcus buried his head in her arms and said, "I know it's you."
Cornelia gently patted his back, saying, "Go to sleep. I won't bother you anymore."
Marcus said, "Cornelia."
Cornelia asked, "What?"
