Chapter 383
Marcus gave her a nod, sensing her apparent nerves, and turned to walk towards the hall However, she called him back asking if he needed more time to think about it
He turned around and saw a certain confusion in Corneliaâs eyes So he asked her, âGot cold feet or something?â
If she didnât want to marry him or wanted to postpone the wedding he was willing to respect her decision
She was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head and said, âLetâs go.â
There werenât many people registering for marriage that day, so they were able to complete the registration quickly He was now her legal husband, and she was his legal wife Onginally they planned to have a meal after the registration, sit down and talk, get to know each other, and discuss their future plans for their marriage But because he had to rush to the States to handle some business, he had to change his plans.
He handed her a bank card that he had prepared in advance, loaded with ten million, and told her that she could use the money at will. Then he hightailed out of there to the airport.
He left in a rush, not even looking back to see her expression and not knowing what she was thinking at the time. Maybe she was very disappointed with her new husband
On the way to the airport, his grandmother called âMarc, Ive prepared a lot of good food. After you and Nelly get your certificate, bring her home for dinnerâ
He replied, âGranny, Iâm on my way to the airport.â
His grandmother immediately raised her voice when she heard this. âYou say what now?â
He knew it was wrong to just drop his newlywed wife like this, but with the pressing business at hand, he chose what seemed more important at the time. âThereâs some important stuff i need to take care of in the States. Once Iâm doneâ¦â
But before he could finish, his grandmother started yelling at him, her voice practically piercing his eardrums. âTell me, did you two get your certificate yet?â
He replied. âWe didâ
Upon hearing this, his grandmother scolded him even more angrily âJeremy, now that youâre married, you just up and leave your wife like this? Are you even human? If youâre going to the States, canât you take her with you?â
If he took her to the States, it would mean completely severing her original life and work and making her his appendage. He thought that was too cruel. Marriage shouldnât be like this âGranny, she should have her own life and work; she canât just do whatever I say because weâre married.â
But his grandma barely listened to his explanation, she kept scolding him on the other end of the line âYou jerk, how can you do this? How am I supposed to explain this to Nelly and her grandma? Listen here, you better wrap up your stuff in the States pronto and come back to bring Nelly home. Nelly is a good girl and youâre lucky to have her. Treasure ner If you pull something like your goodâforânothing father, Iâm disowning youâ
Under such circumstances, he had no desire to discuss that man âPlease donât lump me together with him, weâre two different people. Once Iâm back in Hong Kong, Iâll pick up Nellyâ
Little did he know that his promise would take a year
Not only did he neglect to contact her due to his busy work schedule, but he also didnât give her the attention she deserved, otherwise, he wouldâve found the time to call
