Rosie glanced at the food on her plate, then at her favorite dishes on the table, "Lucas, none of the food you gave me is what I like."
Lucas poured her another glass of water, "Even if you don't like it, you have to eat it. These dishes are good for your health."
Rosie had a serious illness when she was young, leaving her weak afterwards. Since then, Lucas had been in charge of her diet, deciding what she ate. In order to take better care of her, Lucas even got an international nutritionist certificate.
Rosie looked at the feast on the table, "There's so much good food today, can't you compromise a bit and let me eat some of my favorite dishes?"
Lucas firmly replied, "No!"
Rosie felt wronged by Lucas's response and turned to Cornelia to complain, "Cornelia, your husband doesn't restrict you like this, does he?"
Cornelia, although sitting at the dining table, was lost in her own thoughts and didn't hear Rosie's words.
Rosie nudged her lightly, "Cornelia, your husband just left and you're already missing him?"
Cornelia snapped back to reality, "No, stop joking with me."
Rosie asked again, "What's your husband busy with that he had to leave you so soon?"
Cornelia explained, "He needs to go abroad to handle some important matters, so he has to rush over."
Rosie said, "Oh, I see. I was wondering why your husband, who loves you so much, would be willing to leave you. But aren't you his assistant? Why didn't you go abroad with him?"
Cornelia was not only Marcus' wife but also his assistant. Ever since she had been with Marcus, wherever Marcus went to work, he would take her with him. This was the first time since Cornelia became Marcus' assistant that he needed to go on a business trip without her.
Cornelia didn't want to overthink it, but her mind was filled with various thoughts that made her feel upset.
