Chapter 394
Cornelia felt like she was losing her marbles!
The images in her mind were getting more and more chaotic.
If this carried on, she was definitely not catching any Zâs tonight.
What could she do?
How could she solve this?
What on earth should she do?
While tossing and turning in bed, Cornelia finally came up with a solution. She frantically opened her music app on her phone and searched for some calming mantras.
But despite the mantras playing for a good while, the unwanted images in her mind didnât decrease one bit.
She was definitely not sleeping tonight.
Meanwhile, Marcus couldnât catch some shut-eye either.
After ending his WhatsApp chat with Cornelia, he couldnât bear to put his phone away. He read through all the messages Cornelia sent him tonight, afraid of missing a single one.
The words Cornelia sent seemed to transform into voices.
Itâs as if she were whispering in his ear.
He heard her calling him Jeremy.
He heard her saying, âI only have my eyes
for
my
husband.â
I I
He heard her happily sharing her day with him.
For a moment, Marcus wished he could burst out of his room and tell her, âCornelia, your Jeremy is right here. All you need to do is turn around, and youâll see him.â
Marcus thought he was just daydreaming, but when he came back to reality, he found himself standing at the door.
He touched his forehead and let out a helpless laugh.
What on earth happened to him?
How did he become so unlike himself because of a woman?
He just couldnât figure it out.
As Cornelia predicted, the first day of the New Year didnât escape the clutches of work.
She and Ben helped Marcus clean up the mess from the explosion. They were busy as bees for two whole days. On the third day, when there was nothing much to do, Cornelia took a day off with Marcusâs permission. She grabbed her passport and hopped on a plane to Nice the next night.
After a one and a half hour flight, she arrived in Nice.
Skyler was worried about being spotted by Zavierâs people and didnât dare pick Cornelia up from the airport personally, so he arranged for a driver in advance.
Cornelia, not carrying any luggage, hopped in the pick-up car as soon as she got off the plane and headed to a farm in Nice. The car took almost an hour to reach the destination, and Skyler had been waiting there for Cornelia for quite some time.
As soon as the car stopped, Skyler ran over and gave Cornelia a big hug, âCornelia, itâs so good to see you again.â
Cornelia hugged Skyler tightly, feeling both joyful and sad, âIt is!â
Skyler said, âWhen I decided to leave Rosenberg, I thought Iâd never see you again in this lifetime. I didnât expect to meet you again so
soon.â
Cornelia held Skyler tight, âThis proves that weâre meant to be. Skyler, Iâm really happy to see you again.â
