Cornelia arched an eyebrow and asked, "Tell me, why are you helping me then?"
‘Because you're my wife!’ This reason alone could answer Cornelia's question, but he couldn't possibly risk saying that before she had any good feelings for him. "Do I really need a reason to help you? Can't I just be in good spirits and want to do a good deed?"
Feeling good and doing good.
What about when you weren’t feeling good? Weren’t they afraid of karma when they nonchalantly controlled a person's life like this?
"Thanks for your kind intentions, President Hartley, but I don't need your help." An ordinary person can never get the better end of a deal with the devil. Cornelia knew that perfectly well.
"Cornelia!" He emphasized her name, his eyes hidden behind his glasses turning fierce. That was the real Marcus.
She shouldn't be fooled by Marcus' usual kindness by thinking he was a harmless little lamb she could control at will. "President Hartley, if you need something, just say it."
Marcus was indeed angry, he was trying hard to control himself from lashing out at Cornelia. "I owe your husband Jeremy a favor. Can’t I help you to repay that favor?"
"No need! We are two separate people!" While Jeremy was indeed her legal husband, she and Jeremy had never lived together, and she had never thought about getting anything from Jeremy.
