Zavier was clued into Cornelia's inner turmoil and deliberately said, "If you think this scene sucks, then let's stop watching."
Cornelia didn’t respond.
Zavier said, “Let's go then. Breakfast is on me.”
Cornelia asked, “Mr. Rivera, shouldn’t you advise me to go and double check?”
Zavier asked, “Do you want to double check?”
Cornelia said, “I need to confirm that the man isn't Marcus, so I can focus on work.”
Zavier led Cornelia back to the door and gently opened it. She couldn’t see the bed clearly from this angle, but she could see the scattered clothing at the end of the bed.
The white shirt and black trousers on the floor were nothing special, but the unique embroidery on the cuffs was Marcus’s signature. Not only did the clothes prove that the man in bed was Marcus, but the sounds coming from the two people on the bed were also familiar to Cornelia.
Even with the noises they were making, Cornelia could tell it was Marcus and Natalia.
Did Marcus really sleep with Natalia? Marcus had always avoided any interaction with Natalia, why would he sleep with her?
Cornelia mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward and saw that all too familiar handsome face. Even though his expression was twisted at this moment, and Cornelia only took a fleeting glance before stepping back, she could still see clearly. It was Marcus’ face.
For a moment, Cornelia's mind went blank. She remembered the first day she worked with him, when he smiled and said “my wife”, it wasn’t fake. Every time he mentioned his wife, his expression also did not seem like an act. But if he loved his wife so much, why would he sleep with another woman?
Was it because he wasn’t satisfied with his wife and wanted to see if he could be with another woman?
