He just wanted to smooch her! How could he say it so bluntly?
Cornelia, startled, quickly looked around, thanking her lucky stars that everyone was busy minding their own business, no one noticed them, "This place is crowded, it's not very appropriate. Let's save it for home."
Marcus playfully picked up a strand of her hair, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and said, "Alright."
Cornelia dared not look at him, she kept her head down and continued texting in the group chat.
When they sent out that photo, there was no doubt that the two grannies and Patricia would shower them with compliments again, praising them to the high heavens.
After the grannies and Patricia finished their praises, the usually quiet Briana sent a message: [Grannies, and Patricia, did you see the way my brother was looking at Cornelia?]
Granny Luisa replied: [What's up with his look?]
Briana replied: [It's like a wolf looking at a lamb, as if he could gobble up Cornelia any second. How come I never noticed this side of my brother before?]
Cornelia quickly checked the photo. She hadn't realized it before, but with Briana's reminder, she did feel like Marcus was looking at her as if he wanted to eat her up.
Cornelia rushed to click the photo, trying to retract the message, but it was past the retraction time. Annoyed, she looked at Marcus, "Why were you looking at me like that?"
Marcus asked, "What happened?"
Cornelia said, "Just check the group chat."
Marcus immediately opened his phone and quickly read through all the messages, "You are indeed gorgeous, is it wrong for our family to compliment your beauty?"
Cornelia angrily said, "That's not what I'm talking about!"
Marcus asked, "Then are you talking about our selfie?"
