Chapter 1551
It was quite a while before Jeremyâs text message appeared on the screen again.
[My wife, Cornelia, is just too amazing. Sheâs not only beautiful but also a money-making machine. Sheâs been doing incredibly well in her studio with films and animations lately, and sheâs brought in a lot of money. Iâve been pretty useless.]
Lucaâs replied, [I canât help but suspect youâre bragging about your wife.]
Zavier chimed in, [I wish I could chop someone!]
Steven added, [No, I can understand Marcâs mentality.]
Lucas, curious, asked, [Do tell.]
Steven continued, [When Marc and Cornelia first got married, Cornelia was just a newly graduated junior employee. Back then, she was naive and didnât have much, while Marc was in control of the globally renowned corporation, The Hartley Group. There was a stark contrast between their statuses. Now, Marc still has The Artis Group, and is still one of the wealthiest men in the world, but Cornelia is no longer the same person she was. She has worked hard and steadily moved forward. She bought a house in Riverton, her work has expanded, and sheâs been earning more and more money on her own. Ever since being with Marc, Cornelia never stopped progressing. Her work has been improving, sheâs becoming more and more outstanding, and more and more people are noticing her. It can be said that whether Marc is in her life or not, her quality of life wouldnât be affected.Je2
Stevenâs analysis hit Jeremy hard. As Cornelia kept improving, he felt both proud and worried. He was afraid that she wouldnât need him anymore, afraid that she might kick him to the curb at any moment.
Lucas didnât think that was the case. [Marc, is that really how you feel?]
Jeremy didnât answer. His silence was taken as confirmation by the others.
Zavier was especially pleased. [So, you have your insecurities, too? Thatâs great!]
Steven asked, [Marc, are you still there? Do you want to say something?]
Soon, Jeremy replied, not with a text, but with a voice message.
Steven immediately clicked it, not expecting to hear Corneliaâs voice. âSorry, guys! My husband just went to wash up, heâll reply later.â
The three of them were silent.
Cornelia added, âI love him very much. Whether it was in the past, now, or in the future, he will always be an indispensable part of my life.â
After that, there was no message from Jeremyâs end for a long time.
After a while, Steven commented, [It seems theyâre intentionally showing off their perfect relationship early in the morning.]
Lucas agreed, [Indeed.]
Zavier said, [You guys chat, Iâm off to have a drink.]
Steven warned, [Donât drink too much. You gotta take care of your body.]
Zavier replied, [My body? Iâm no different than a walking corpse now. Whatâs the point of taking care of my health?]
Lucas consoled Zavier, [Zavier, donât be too upset. Relationships are all about timing. If Skyler was still alive, I believe you guys would meet again.]
Steven added, [Right.]
Zavier asked, [Do you guys believe that Skyler is still alive?]
Steven and Lucas fell silent, because, deep down, they didnât believe that Skyler was still alive. They thought that Zavier was just unwilling to accept the fact that Skyler had passed away.
The chat ended there, with no one saying anything else.
Meanwhile, Cornelia was also talking to Jeremy. Looking at Jeremy, Cornelia began, âHoneyâ¦..
