Chapter 1028 Cornelia said, “Yeah, it’s quite possible that our mom wasn’t our mom at that time, but the woman we now know as Clair.” Tahlia asked, “Our dad loved our mom so much, wouldn’t he have noticed if his wife was switched?” Cornelia replied, “I’m not entirely sure about the specifics of what happened back then. Maybe because our dad loved our mom so much, that’s why he never suspected anything when that woman pretended to be her.” Tahlia asked, “What do we do now?” Cornelia said, “The one with all the answers about what happened back then would be Clair. She’s our only lead.” Tahlia asked, “Is there anything I could do to help?” Cornelia ruffled Tahlia’s hair and said, “Just keep doing your job. I’ll handle the rest. Let’s head back to Riverton. If Marcus comes home from work and I’m not there, he’ll be worried sick.”
Tahlia asked, “Are you staying at home tonight or going over to his place?” Cornelia said, “I’ll stay with you tonight. Let him have his house to himself.” Tahlia said, “You and Mr. Hartley just got married. You should spend more time with him. I don’t want to get in the way.” Cornelia said, “Enough chit-chat. Let’s go home.” Cornelia drove back the same way they came. Over an hour later, they exited the highway. As soon as Cornelia’s car got off the highway, Marcus called. Cornelia picked up immediately and was met with Marcus’ deep voice, “Pull over now!” She pulled over at once. A familiar luxury car was parked next to her in the parking area. Marcus slowly rolled down his window and looked at her. Cornelia asked, “What are you doing here?”
Marcus said, “Get in my car.” Cornelia asked, “What about my car?” Marcus said, “I’ll have Austin drive your sister home.” He looked pi ss ed. Cornelia didn’t dare refuse again. She turned to Tahlia and said, “Tahlia, you go home with Austin. I need to see what’s up with Marcus.” Tahlia said, “Okay.” Cornelia went over to Marcus’ car. She thought he wanted her to drive, so she headed straight for the driver’s seat. Marcus opened the back door, got out of the car, and said, “You’re riding shotgun. I’m driving.” Cornelia obediently sat in the passenger seat. Marcus started the car and quickly got back on the road. Cornelia glanced at his grim expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you mad?” Marcus said, “Don’t drive alone for a while. I’m worried someone might tamper with your car.” Cornelia’s heart ski p ped a beat, “You mean.” Marcus took one hand off the wheel, held Cornelia’s hand, and said, “Brennen wants something I’m not giving him. I’m worried he might hurt you.” Cornelia said, “Okay, I’ll be more careful.” Marcus said, “From now on, you can’t leave my sight.”
