Cornelia whipped out her phone and started scouring the internet for tourist guides of Sapphire Lake. Sapphire Lake had a few scenic spots, the closest one being Lovers' Tree.
Lovers' Tree wasn't just a feast for the eyes but was also home to two trees that were intertwined, standing close to each other.
These two trees were located by the lake, intertwined with each other. From afar, they looked like two people hugging each other, hence the name Lovers' Tree. Legend had it that any couple who made a wish under the Lovers' Tree would be blessed with lifelong happiness, making it a hotspot for lovebirds.
Cornelia could see the two tall trees tightly entwined from afar. Underneath the trees was a viewing platform bustling with people.
As the car got closer, Cornelia could make out the people on the platform. At first glance, all she saw were couples. There wasn't a single person who came alone. Some couples were even having their wedding photoshoot there. The wind tousled the bride's hair, and the groom gently tucked it behind her ear. The bride looked at the groom, their eyes met and they shared a laugh. All the love they had for each other was evident in that moment; it was quite enviable.
Cornelia thought to herself. Once she met Jeremy, she would bring him here to make a wish and have a beautiful wedding photoshoot. They would also bring their grandmothers along to enjoy a few days at this beautiful place.
Thinking about the bright future ahead, a smile involuntarily crept up to Cornelia's face. Her eyes were twinkling like stars. As she was lost in her thoughts, she heard Marcus' deep voice, "What are you looking at?"
Cornelia turned to look at Marcus. For a moment, Marcus' face overlapped with Jeremy's face from her memories.
She quickly averted her eyes, "President Hartley, have you and your wife had a wedding photoshoot?"
Marcus replied, "Not yet."
Cornelia responded with a despondent, "Oh."
Marcus said, "We don't rarely see each other. It's just that most of our meetings are work-related. Due to some personal reasons, she has some misunderstandings about me, so..."
As he mentioned personal reasons, Cornelia suddenly remembered the conversation between Briana and Natalia yesterday.
Marcus was sick, so there must be some issues in his marital life.
That explained why she had never seen his wife visit him at work during all the time she had been his assistant. This man was so good-looking and had a great body but was sick. What was up with that?
What a waste of a handsome face and a stellar physique.
