Being Marcus' wife was the dream of many high-class ladies, a dream that seemed impossible for a small town girl like Cornelia who hadn't seen much of the world.
Anyway, he simply couldn't accept that Cornelia could actually become Marcus' wife.
He was also scared that once Cornelia became Marcus' wife, he would never get another shot at being close to her.
Despite being intimidated by Marcus' gaze, Roman still looked towards Marcus, hoping to hear him reprimand Cornelia and tell her to stop dreaming about becoming his wife.
However, that didn't happen.
Marcus looked at Cornelia with deep affection, as if she was the only one in his world and there was no room for anyone else.
But when Marcus' gaze shifted back to him, it was instantly sharp and piercing. If looks could kill, he would have been killed by Marcus' gaze already.
"Cornelia is my spouse on our marriage certificate, my lawful wife," Marcus said with a heavy tone, pulling Cornelia close by her slim waist.
It was as if he was not only telling the man in front of him who was trying to bother Cornelia, but also declaring to the world that Cornelia was his wife.
Marcus' words completely shattered Roman's dream, and he felt like he could hear his own heart breaking.
This time, he returned to the country as the Chief Engineer of Moongazer Tech. Many women were attracted to him, and it was during this time that he met her. He thought she would be like those ordinary women, admiring him, and that with just a slight hint, she would come to his side.
But boy, was he wrong.
This woman was very capable. During his absence, she had secretly established contact with the CEO of the Hartley Group and became the first lady of the Hartley Group!
"Scram! Stay away from me!" Zack shoved him out the door, slamming it shut and getting rid of this nuisance once and for all.
