Chapter 338
âComelia have you ever had a setback in lewe? Why are you so skeptical about love at tum hi a vimeng nge * Briann asked bluntly
*) wouldnât call it a setback, but yeah somethingâs definitely impact my stew on lineâ Cornelia theright of commeren the words they once told her the coulit deny that her doubt about love was tied to that person, but it wonât
entirely because of them
She felt that many people nomadres mared for materialistic reatus, uusily if the other party had monny a house intacar Gups were locking for sell off woman to skip the twenty years of strapple Gats, on the other hand, wanted to marry a rich aus so they could shoe till they drop without worrying about money
Hawng seen too many of these cases Cornelia felt that marriage was now more like a transaction than two people coming together Life after marriage was no longer about spending your life with your partner, but more about spending your life with money houses, and corn it was like living together for convenience, love was nowhere to be found
Frana aked. âSa Cornelia, you dont actually love your husband?â
Marcus who had been silent all along instantly tensed up at Brianaâs question. He was even more eager than Briana to hear Comellas answer, but also afraid of what she would say
âWhether I love him or not is not important, whatâs important is that weâre marriedâ Since both of them knew Jeremy Cornelia didnât shy away from speaking openly. âAs long as Jeremy wants to make a good life with me. Iâll do my part to maintain our marriage and live well together I would never betray him if one day he has another woman and wants a divorce, 111 respect his decisionâ
Corneliaâs answer was both within and beyond Marcus expectations. He should have known long ago that Cornelia shared his perspective, that marriage was about two people living a good life together and never betraying that
commitment
Briana was shocked by Comelias response, âComelia, how can you wew your marriage so calmly and rationally? Dont you love him, or are you just too mature for your age?â
Enana wanted to continue but Marcus who had been silent, cut her off, âEnough with the love or not love business. Itâs getting late. Letâs eat and get some restâ
âIâm fullâ Briana put down her fork âCornelia, letâs go watch the night wew later They say itâs especially beautiful when it snows
Cornelia was already looking forward to enjoying the snow so the agreed immediately âSureâ
Briana turned to Marcus, âMarcut, are you coming
Hearing Brianas question, Cornelia suddenly tented up. It would be sa intimate for the two girls to watch the snow together, why invite her boss?
Watching the snowy scene with her bass how awkward would that be for Cornelia? Would Briana understand?
Just as Cornelia was praying deep down that Marcus wouldnt agree to join them, Marcus indeed turned down Brianaâs invitation, âIm not interested in this childish stuff. Iâm not going to waste my time on itâ
Briana gave him a wink, hinting she was trying to create a chance for him to pursue Cornelia, but Marcus pretended not to see. âCornella. Im afraid you wonât be able to go to watch the snow tonight either, we have some work to deal
with nextâ
