Second line âIf you are available, we could arrange a meetingâ
She initially believed she could maintain composure, yet upon realizing the message originated from Jeremy, she found herself unable to contain her excitement and hastily replied, âAt what time will you arrive in
Riverton tombirowââ
If he were to return to Riverton earlier the could still have a rendezvous with him before heading to Harbor City
Jeremy Two oclock in the aftemoonâ
By tomorrow afternoon, she will have almady reached Harbor City
Comelia responded with disappointment. âSomy) Tomorrow, I will be accompanying Marcus to Harbor City, and I am unsure when i will be able to return. Hence, I am unable to meet with you tomorrowâ
Jeremy âThen let us meet when you return
Comelia Very wellâ
âAfter she replied, Jeremy didnât text again. He could casually ask her what sheâs been up to lately, but he didnât ask anything
Cornelia clutched her phone tightly, thought for a moment, and finally decided to be honest with him about the importance of communication, otherwise, misunderstandings would anse Jeremy you said you wanted to be with me were you serious?â
This time Jeremy replied quickly âEvery word I said to you was seriousâ
Comelia, âAnd how long will we be together? A year? Two years? Ten years? Or longer?â
Jeremy âA timeâ
His response like a marvelous melody gently struck the chords of Corneliaâs heart. Even though she was alone in the room, her cheeks involuntarily flushed
She buried her face in the pillow and whispered, âA lifetime is a long time. Are you certain you can spend a lifetime with me?â
Jeremyâs reply came swiftly, seemingly without hesitation, âI am very certainâ
Cornelia felt herself being drawn to Jeremy Whatever he said, she firmly believed without a trace of doubt, never suspecting him of deceit
Despite her dissatisfaction with his lack of communication for several days, the moment she received his message, all those grievances were forgotten.
How could she be so powerless?
Cornelia sent a subdued message. âAre you usually busy with work?â
Jeremy responded, âNot particularly busyâ
Comelia. âIf youâre not busy, then why havent you texted me for days?â
After some chatting, Cornelia finally got to her point
This time, Jeremyâs reply was late in coming Comelia stared at the phone screen, almost falling asleep waiting for his response, âCornelia, Iâm really sorry!â
He had been with her these days Marcus could see her as soon as he opened his eyes, so he didnât text her. But he overlooked that she didnât know about it.
Comelia, who was about to close her eyes, said, âIm going to take a nap.â
Jeremy âAinghtâ
After the last message was sent, Marcus didnât turn off his phone right away. He kept staring at it Patricia saw him, âMarc, are you texting your wife?â
Marcus smiled slightly. âYesâ
Seeing his smile, Patrica felt even happier. âWhen are you planning to bring her home? Our home has everything except herâ
She was already by his side, albet not in the role of the mistress of this household
