Chapter 367
Marcus Hill was momentarily stunned.
He hadn't expected her to ask that question so suddenly.
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
Sophia Roscente suddenly raised her hand to stop him.
"Don't say anything."
"I don't want to hear it."
"We'll talk about the future later."
Deep down, she was terrified.
She feared he would retreat when faced with difficulties.
She feared he would no longer choose her steadfastly.
Even though she really liked him now.
If he couldn't give her what she wanted.
She would leave without hesitation.
Marcus helplessly rubbed his forehead.
He hadn't said anything yet.
Watching her flushed face from nervousness.
He couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Sophia."
"I promise you."
"Marcus Hill will only love you in this lifetime."
"No matter what difficulties we face."
"I will stand firmly by your side."
He never fell for someone easily.
Nor did he make promises lightly.
But this time, he was serious.
He truly wanted to cherish the person before him.
Sophia's face turned even redder.
Remembering what he had said in front of her cousin.
She felt her cheeks burning.
"Oh my."
"Stop talking."
"I get it, okay?"
She threw the face towel into the basin.
Picking up the basin, she fled the room as if escaping.
Marcus watched her hurried retreating figure.
His smile deepened.
He walked to the window and looked out at the scenery.
His gaze was gentle yet firm.
A moment later.
Sophia suddenly rushed back in a hurry.
"Stay here and watch over my brother."
"I need to go back for a bit."
Marcus raised an eyebrow at her.
"What are you going back for?"
They finally had a chance to be alone.
He really didn't want her to leave.
Sophia had already grabbed her bag.
"I just remembered we have surveillance at home."
"I want to see what really happened that day."
She knew her cousin's personality well.
He wasn't the type to lose control after drinking.
So she had to get to the bottom of it.
Marcus was about to offer to take her back.
But she had already run off.
The next day.
Anna Ross rubbed her sore shoulders.
Work was exceptionally busy today.
It took all morning to barely finish everything.
Now she could finally rest for a while.
She picked up her water cup to get some water.
A colleague suddenly called out to her.
"Anna."
"Someone's here to see you!"
Anna turned toward the voice.
To her surprise, the visitor was none other than.
Chloe Valentine.
The other woman stood at the entrance with her arms crossed.
When she saw Anna approaching, she coldly commanded.
"Come with me."
"I have questions for you."
Anna frowned slightly.
But she followed her out nonetheless.
Chloe led her to the stairwell.
It was very quiet there.
Everyone took the elevator now.
Few people used the stairs.
"Was Adrian with you last night?"
Chloe asked without turning around, her back to Anna.
A puzzled expression appeared on Anna's face.
"Miss Valentine."
"He's your fiancรฉ."
"Shouldn't you know where he is?"
"Why are you asking me such a question?"
Chloe's face darkened with anger at her words.
She nearly gritted her teeth.
Suppressing her fury.
She forced a fake smile and turned around.
"Of course I know that."
"But I have to be cautious."
"To prevent certain shameless people from getting close to him behind my back."
Anna's originally gentle eyes filled with anger.
"Miss Valentine."
"You're truly pathetic."
"You can't control your own man."
"Yet you come here to vent your madness on me."
"I have work to do."
"I won't keep you company."
With that, she turned to leave.
Not wanting to waste any more time on such nonsense.
Chloe was furious.
She wouldn't let her leave so easily.
She grabbed Anna's wrist.
"Stop right there."
