now. When the time is right, Iâll tell you everything. I really want to see you now, letâs meet up.]
Chapter 417
Jeremy wasnât willing to explain to her for a reason. Cornelia was okay waiting until he was ready to talk: [When are you coming back to Riverton?]
Jeremy: [Not sure about the exact date, but it should be in the next few days.]
Cornelia: [My boss and I just got back to Riverton and our schedule is packed. Weâre busy till late night every day, so I might not have time to see you these days. He doesnât have anything planned next weekend, so I should be free. If you are in Riverton then, shall we meet up next weekend?]
Jeremy answered: [Sure!]
Cornelia added: (Jeremy, I have something to tell you.]
Jeremy: [Go ahead.]
[The future life is to be spent with you, your parentsâ infidelity is their issue. It has nothing to do with you. As long as you are faithful to our marriage, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you.] After typing these words, Cornelia felt something was off.
Jeremy didnât know that she knew about his parents, bringing it up would only make him feel awkward. So, she deleted some words: [Jeremy, I just want to tell you, as long as you are faithful to our marriage. No matter what happens in the future, I am willing to stick with you.]
No matter what happened in the future, she was willing to stick with him.
Seeing this sentence, Marcus remembered what she said to him not long ago, âDonât be afraid, you have me.â
She always touched his soft spot with a tender and firm approach, as if infusing warmth into his heart. She was making him feel a warmth he never had before, and letting him know that not everything has to be borne by him alone. There was someone willing to face
the storm with him.
Marcus slowly raised his hand to cover his chest, he could feel his heart beating fast at this moment, as if it was about to jump out of
his mouth.
He had never experienced such a feeling, he was a bit panicked at first. But soon only a warm and sweet feeling was left, just like a warm spring.
He said: [I understand.]
Cornelia: [Good night!]
Jeremy: [Good night!]
After ending the conversation with Jeremy, Cornelia fell asleep immediately.
But in the bedroom on the third floor, Marcus couldnât sleep at all. Corneliaâs words tonight eased some of his worries, but new ones
appeared.
Cornelia didnât care about her husband having such disgraceful parents, or the kind of blood flowing in his body. But that didnât mean Cornelia would accept Jeremy and Marcus were the same person.
At work, he always handled things decisively in the shortest time, but when it came to feelings, he had almost no experience and always didnât know how to handle them.
After much thought, Marcus dialed Stevenâs number. The phone rang for a while before it was answered. Accompanied by Stevenâs heavy breathing, it was not hard to guess what he was just doing.
Steven said with annoyance, âOh my God, President Hartley, do you know what time it is? You might not need rest, but other people need to sleep.â
