Chapter 124 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

In the middle of the conversation, the waiter started serving the dishes. The first thing that came was the soup. The weather was exceptionally cold today, so a bowl of soup was just appropriate. The waiter handed the soup to Marcus, who passed it to Cornelia, who was sitting on his right. He said, “You go first.” Comelia said, “Thanks.” Leonardo piped up, “You only see the person on your right, but you don’t see me on your left.” But no one responded to him.Then the dishes were served one by one. These were all dishes that Cornelia and the others loved. Marcus said he was trying to adapt, and Cornelia even ordered two lighter dishes for him. Leonardo and Marcus were locals who normally preferred lighter food. The first dish served was spicy, and so was the second. Looking at the table full of dishes, with only two of them being light in taste and the rest being greasy, Leonardo was at a loss for where to start. He couldn’t help but complain, “Can we eat this?” Before he could finish, Marcus glared at him, as if to say, “If I can eat it, what’s your excuse?” Under Marcus’s intimidating gaze, Leonardo didn’t dare to say anything more. But he didn’t want to be ignored either. He asked the waiter to pour a glass of wine for everyone and said, “Let’s not just focus on eating. Let’s drink first.” Cornelia declined, saying, “Sorry, I’m driving; I can’t drink.” Leonardo nudged the wine glass towards Cornelia and said, “You don’t need to drive; Marcus has other drivers. If that’s not possible, we can call a designated driver. Come, let’s drink first.” Marcus picked up the wine glass in front of Cornelia and dumped the wine into the trash can, saying in a low voice, “She said she doesn’t drink.” Leonardo said, “The wine is opened; they’re not drinking; are we two going to drink alone?” Cornelia suddenly remembered what Dr. Dawson had said: “President Hartley can’t drink either. His stomach isn’t good.” Leonardo asked, “Marcus, since when is your stomach not good?” Marcus ignored him. He turned to Cornelia and said, “Cornelia, how come I didn’t know about his stomach? Don’t try to fool me. We often drink together; I didn’t see any problem with his stomach.”
