Chapter 333
Comelia responded quickly âSure you can get a hug when we meet â
Marcus was stumped by her reply. There was no way Cornelia would let him hold her as Marcus As for when he could face her as Jeremy, he had no idea how long that would take. He didnât know how long heâd have to wait for that bug maybe a month, a year, or even longer
Yel, he didnât want to wait another second He yearned to hold her close right this minute
His fingers few across the keyboard typing âComelia I want to hug you nowâ
Cornelia immediately replied with several hug emojis
Marcus replied âwant a reat hug Not theseâ
Cornelia retorted. âWeâre miles apart, how can you hug me?
Marcus raid âindeed, we cant now But remember, Cornelia, you owe me a hug Il demand double when we meet Marcus stood at the kitchen entrance, silently watching Corneliaâs retreating figure.
He was just two steps away from holding the girl he longed for Yet, he couldnât muster the courage to take those steps All he could do was watch her helplessly
Comelia teated back. âTI remember
Before Marcus could reply Cornelia sent a long message, âJeremy Iâm your wife, the one who will spend the rest of her life with you Letâs not dwell on the past I hope that whatever happens in the future (m the first one you think about Well face everything togetherâ
Marcus knew just by reading her words that Briana must have told her something Otherwise, Cornelia wouldnât keep emphasizing their marital status tonight
He asked, âDid you hear something?
Cornelia replied. âYes, I heard some stuff about you I know work i been tough So dont spend too much on me Save your money and when you have enough, take some time off to enjoy life
Money was the least of Marcus concerns. He had no idea how important it was to Cornelia, but he was willing to heed her advice. âOkayâ
Cornelia said. âYou should rest Weâll talk another dayâ
âOkayâ Marcus replied with a single word. His gaze was fixed on Corneliaâs silhouette. His lips moved silently whispering her name, âCorneliaâ
Comelia stared at her phone screen. Even though the chat had ended, she was still looking at Jeremyâs messages. Oddy, she could tell from the text that Jeremy seemed to be in a bad mood What was wrong with him?
Was he facing some kind of trouble?
She wished she could help but was powerless from miles away
Seeing Cornelia glued to her phone, Briana approached her, âCornelia who are you chatting with?
âJeremy Jeremy had never discussed his family issues with Cornelia She guessed it wasnât because he forgot, but because he didnât want to Most people believed family troubles should be dealt with at home. Another possibility was that Jeremy didnt mention his parents not because he was embarrassed but because he didnât want anyone to pity fum because of his family background
