Chapter 1546
âTell me, Comelia, whoâs more important to you? Me or our son?â
Jeremy had been pushing Cornelia to her limits, and now she was too turned on to even speak. She mumbled a vague, âHmmâ¦â
Jeremy, not satisfied with her response, persisted, âCornelia, tell me, who is more important to you, me or our son?â
He was relentless, tormenting her until she finally snapped, âOur son.â
His reaction to her honest reply was swift and severe. Like a wild beast, he roared and raged, as if he wanted to rip her apart. âCornelia, think carefully before you answer. Whoâs more important to you, me, or our son?â Jeremy took a step back, pretending to leave.
Cornelia, too weak to stand, slid down the wall, collapsing onto the floor. Just as she was about to hit the ground, Jeremy reached out, pulling her back into his arms. âHave you thought it through?â
However, Cornelia wasnât going to be swayed easily. She bit her lip and ignored him. After another round of back-and-forth, Jeremy finally relented. He grabbed a towel, dried her off, and carried her into the bedroom.e2
As soon as she hit the bed, Cornelia buried herself under the covers. She was too drained to even utter a word. Jeremy crawled into bed beside her, pulling her into his arms. âCornelia, you havenât answered my question yet.â
How stubborn could this man be? Had he eaten something wrong today? Cornelia decided to ignore him. After all, he had used such a despicable tactic to threaten her.
Jeremy kissed her forehead, whispering, âHoney, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have threatened you.â
Cornelia-could never be too harsh when it came to Jeremy, but she wasnât about to let him off the hook. After all, if she did, he would continue to bully her in the future.
Suddenly, Jeremy winced, causing Cornelia to open her eyes in surprise. âWhat happened? Did I accidentally hurt your arm?â His injured arm had healed significantly, but it still couldnât bear weight and required special care. Cornelia was worried that their passionate sex might have aggravated his injury.
Jeremy laughed at her distressed face. âIâm fine.â
Cornelia glared at him. âIs this the time for jokes?â
Jeremy immediately became submissive, like a child who had done something wrong. âMy arm is fine. I just lied because you were ignoring me.â
This only infuriated Cornelia more. âJeremy!â
Jeremy quickly apologized, âHoney, I know I was wrong. I promise, I wonât trick you like that again.â
Cornelia sarcastically replied, âSo, what other ways are you planning to trick me?â
âI promise I will never lie to you again,â Jeremy quickly assured her.
âWhatâs gotten into you today?â Cornelia asked, confused.
Jeremy buried his head in her neck, looking miserable. âYou were teaching Hannah getting rid of the father tonight, and I overheard.â
âThat has nothing to do with youâ¦â Cornelia started to argue.
But Jeremy cut her off, pulling her closer into his arms. âCornelia, you have to promise me. No matter what happens, you canât be so ruthless with me.â
