The whole thing happened so fast. It not only caught Dr. Dawson off guard, but even Marcus didn't realize what he had done until after it was over.
He touched his lips, spinning them around, still tasting the unique flavor of Cornelia. It was a bit sweet, but also... He couldn't remember what else.
Behind his silver glasses, he stared at Cornelia's red lips, yearning to taste them again. But the timing wasn't right. When it’s time, he would savor her taste, memorizing it deeply.
Dr. Dawson watched him, amused. In just a few days, his affectionate gestures with Cornelia were so natural. It seemed their relationship had made great strides. Perhaps when she wasn't aware, his actions were bolder.
Not wanting to intrude on their private time, Dr. Dawson quietly excused herself.
Upon leaving, she ran into Briana who was sneakily observing, "Bri, don't bother your brother."
Briana worriedly said, "Dr. Dawson, is my brother bullying Cornelia? Cornelia is fine when she's with me. Why did she faint when she's with him?"
"Your brother would never bully Cornelia." Dr. Dawson led Briana downstairs. "You come with me, don't worry about anything else."
"But will Cornelia really be okay?" Briana truly liked Cornelia and was very worried that her brother might bully her.
Dr. Dawson chuckled, "With your brother there, no one would dare to bully Cornelia."
Faced with Marcus's excessive concern, Cornelia always felt a bit at a loss, her words stumbling, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, President Hartley!"
Marcus could tell that Cornelia was trying to keep a distance, and he didn't want to stress her out, "Don't push yourself. Just rest here today, I'll have Bri stay with you."
"I'm leaving now." Despite his worry for her, Marcus acted indifferent to ease her burden. Before leaving, he gave Briana a look.
Briana immediately understood, followed him out, and heard him say, "Give me your phone."
