Chapter 657
Knowing full well it was peeping, why did he have to call her out? Didn’t she have any pride at all?
Annoyed, Cornelia turned her head away, refusing to give him the time of day
Marcus, as if nothing ma jor had happened, carried on driving the sightseeing car, even playing the role of tour
guide “This road we’re on is called Lovebirds Lane, and the flowers on both sides are orchids. The name of the road
and the flowers planted were all decided by Shawn, the hotel manager we just met
The sightseeing road was well maintained, with the orchids blooming brilliantly on both sides. It was indeed quite
beautiful
Still pissed off, Cornelia glanced at the flowers and shrubs outside, responding nonchalantly without turning her
head, “I see”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAssuming she was enjoying the scenery, Marcus continued his animated commentary. “At first, I didn’t understand
why he chose to plant these flowers. He told me that orchids symbolize a beautiful love I used to scoff at that, but
now I feel that having a good omen and symbolism gives people hope, and there’s nothing wrong with that”
Marcus wasn’t a man of many words, but to spare them from an awkward silence, he kept talking, saying things
that even he found embarrassing
As Comelia listened, her anger slowly subsided “So, you gave him full control of the hotel?”
“Yep.” Marcus nodded “Shawn is a college student I sponsored I thought highly of him, so I let him manage the
hotel after he graduated. He hasn’t let me down.”
“You sponsor college students? That was news to Comelia.
Sponsoring college students was a charitable act by Jeremy’s company with no business motive, so not many
people knew about it. “Just donated some money, not a big deal.”
“It’s more than just some money” To Marcus it may be just some money, but for the students he sponsored, his
kindness could change their lives.
Marcus’s image grew a little taller in Cornelia’s heart.
As they chatted, they arrived at the edge of a cliff where a row of spherical glass houses were in sight. Each glass
house was built on the rocks at the edge of the cliff, appearing to hang in mid–air, which was quite thrilling
It was said that these glass houses were built using some special construction technology Unless there was a super
tsunami or an earthquake of magnitude eight or higher, these glass houses were absolutely safe.
Marcus slowed down, “Want to take another look?”
The sea breeze was a bit strong. Cornelia was only wearing a dress and felt a bit cold. “I don’t want to walk around
anymore, let’s find a place to sit and wait for the sunset.”
“Sure” Marcus drove Cornelia to a glass house.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis glass house was the most prominent one, with only one corner built on the rock. The rest seemed to hang in
the air, beneath was a cliff several dozen feet high with waves crashing against the rocks. It looked absolutely
thrilling.
Marcus said, “This glass house is reserved for me by Shawn. No one usually stays here, so you don’t have to worry
about hygiene.”
When initially planning the hotel, Shawn jokingly said he wanted to reserve a room for him so he could bring his
girlfriend in the future.
He said at the time: “I might have to wait till my next life to bring a girlfriend here.”
Because he never thought he would have a girlfriend, let alone get married.
However, just a few years later, he skipped the dating part altogether and went straight to register for marriage.
In comparison, Cornelia didn’t have as many concerns. She, Abigail, and Zack usually chose regular chain hotels
when they traveled and weren’t particularly picky about hygiene conditions.
