When she grew up, her grandma told her, “Each of us is our own person, with the right to choose our own life. A woman shouldn’t be bound by marriage and kids, they have the right to choose the lifestyle they like. Your mom just made a choice between two lifestyles”
So, Cornelia never blamed her mom. She thought, if one day she bumped into her mom in a crowd, as long as she was willing, she’d happily call her morn
Marcus arved, seeing Cornelia’s slightly reddened eyes in the moonlight. He said with a heavy heart, “Cornelia, I’m sorry I was out of line earlier. But believe me, I didn’t mean to belittle you”
He had been holding back for so long, why couldn’t he control himself now? At that moment, the only thought in his mind was to hold her hand.
Cornelia turned to look at him, standing under the light, casting a mysterious beauty on him.
“It’s not about you, I’m just thinking about my parents Cornelia rubbed her eyes, pointed at the moon, “President Hartley, do you see. Are there two people waving at me from the moon? The guy must be my dad, and the girl, my mom‘
“You have a good father Marcus didn’t want to talk about parents. He didn’t want those two to ruin his mood tonight, “Get up and walk with me, helps with digestion. Sitting there isn’t good for you”
Cornelia shook her head, politely refusing. ‘I’m full, I don’t want to move.”

Before she could finish, Marcus lifted the hairpin to his nose and sniffed, “The smell on it is sweet, so it can’t be yours.”
Cornelia’s eyes widened, she couldn’t believe Marcus would do such a thing. Who in their right mind collected someone else’s hair accessories?
Cornelia watched helplessly as he stuffed her hairpin into his pocket, “Walk with me.”
Cornelia didn’t say a word. She didn’t want to walk with him, not at all
But as a competent assistant, as long as the boss’s request was reasonable, she had no reason to refuse.
Marcus deliberately slowed down, trying to make sure Cornelia could keep up. They walked side by side, rather than him leading and her following.
The Celestial Chateau was a mansion, with a garden that was hundreds of square feet, enough for them to stroll for an hour or two.
