Cornelia was well aware of what Marcus was saying.
And that was why so many people were scared shitless of Marcus. Everyone thought, a guy who could do such a thing to his own parents must be some cold-hearted bastard, and it was impossible to discuss emotions with them.
But Cornelia knew, Marcus was not that kind of guy.
Then, in a split second, Marcus delivered something out of her expectation, "I've done a lot of things, things no one has ever heard of, wanna hear about it?"
Cornelia shook her head then nodded, back and forth...
She was really not sure if she should listen.
A cig was smoked up pretty quickly, and Marcus lit up another one, puffing away like a chimney. The window was rolled up, and the smoke was all over Cornelia's face. Cornelia coughed a bit, even her eyes teared up.
Her eyes filled with tears, "President Hartley, can you quit smoking, please?"
When Cornelia first met Marcus, he always had a cigarette in his hand. Later on, she hadn't seen him smoke for a while, but for some reason, he started again today, lighting up two in a row and smoking them fast.
His body just got a bit better, and he was smoking like this, he really didn’t give a damn about his life, "President Hartley, smoking is bad for your health, can you please stop?"
The cigarette in Marcus’ hand suddenly froze, and then he stubbed it out in the ashtray. Even though he was pissed at her at the moment, his logic still won over his emotions. He would never hurt her.
