Chapter 444
Cornella wasnât sure what to bring up, so she asked. Is there anything in particular you fancy chatting about?]
Jeremy answered [Well, the main reason I texted you tonight was to ask if youâre happy with the house renovations? When are you planning to move in? Just give me a heads up on the date, and Iâll sort out the moving company for you]
Heâd just asked about her house, no sweet nothings, but it still managed to tug at Corneliaâs heartstrings, It caused her tears to uncontrollably trickle down her cheeks.
Choking back her sobs, Cornelia voiced her deepest feelings, âJeremy, can you come back to Riverton sooner? I really miss you, I canât wait to see your
Such a shame Jeremy couldnât hear her.
After crying her heart out and drying her tears, Cornelia replied to his message: [The guy you recommended. Trent, is topânotch and super responsible. Iâm really satisfied with how he did up my house. Itâs gonna take a while before I can move in. Iâm planning to move some of the nonâessentials over in the meantime.]
Jeremy replied. [Alright, get your stuff sorted and Iâll get someone over to help with the move ]
Cornelia said [I donât have much to move. Zack, Abby and I should be able to handle it. And about that time you heard someone call me âbabyâ, that was Zack. Zackâs a guy, Abbyâs a girl. Weâve known each other since we were kids, went to college in Riverton together, and decided to stay and build our lives here after graduation. Theyâre important to me, people I cherish deeply]
Jeremy replied [if theyâre important to you, Iâll treat them right too]
Cornelia knew Jeremyâs feelings for her were more out of a sense of duty as her husband, rather than love. But she never expected him to extend that to her friends. His words moved her to tears again. She quickly changed the subject: [Youâre getting sweeter by the minute]
Jeremy asked [Am I really that sweet?]
Cornelia answered [Weâll see when we meet, Iâll have a taste and see how sweet you really are]

After sending the message. Cornelia realized sheâd been a bit too forward and felt guilty. She quickly retracted her message, pretending nothing had happened
She had no idea if Jeremy had seen her message, either way, he didnât respond.
Lying in bed, her cheeks flushed Cornelia said to Jeremy: [Iâm turning in for the night, goodnight!]
Marcus replied: [Goodnight.] He thought about the message Cornelia had retracted, heâd have to make sure she got a taste. He couldnât let her down.
Photos of President Hartley and his wife were making the rounds online, it wasnât just netizens busy discussing their photos. Behind the scenes, someone was busy too.
After reading the news online, Cameron Reese hesitated before dialing a longâuncontacted number.
He said to the person on the other end of the line, âYou mustâve seen the news by now. Marc and his wife were spotted tonight, their photo was posted online. Iâve sent someone to find the person who took the photo. Once we find him, weâll know the identity of Marcâs wife.â
âHalâ A cold, middleâaged male voice laughed over the phone, âNo wonder the gap between our two companies has grown ever since your generation took over. You and Marcus have known each other since you were kids. Yet after all these years, you still donât get him?â
