Chapter 458
What could she even say? Other couplesâ relationships were their own business. What right did she have, as an outsider, to comment here and with such audacity? âOkay, then just shut it.â Natalia said to Briana again, âBriana, Marcâs wife isnât happy with some sickness Marc has, but I donât care I donât care about his sickness. Even if he really has one, I donât mind. As long as he accepts me If Marc doesnât want to marry me, thatâs fine too. Iâm willing to stay by his side, not as his wifeâ
Natalia sounded like a madwoman whoâd lost all sense
Cornelia was somewhat puzzled Was Natalia genuinely in love with Marcus? Or was she stubbornly trying to win Marcus over?
Regardless of which, Cornelia thought that Natalia, who had lost her senses and was in deep agony, was a pitiful person. A woman so low for a man, even throwing away
her self esteem. How sad
Cornelia didnât want to listen to their words anymore, so she found an excuse to sneak away.
Back home, Cornelia finally had time to check her phone. Here was only one new message on WhatsApp. She opened it, and it was from Jeremy
[Cornelia, how was work today?]
Cornelia didnât want him to worry. Those nonsenseâspewing colleagues had been fired by Marcus, so that matter was over.
She replied [It was fine. Worked for half a day, and President Hartley sent us home to rest]
Jeremy quickly replied. [Did you have lunch? How are you planning to spend the next few days?]
When he asked, Cornelia honestly replied I plan to visit our grandmother at Southern Summer Garden tomorrow and stay there for a night. When I come back, it sort out some of the stuff we donât need at home and gradually move them to the new house |
Jeremy [âll find someone to help you move ]
Cornelia [No need Zack and I will move some stuff over when we have time. There isnât much to move at home. No need to specifically find people to help. Hiring movers costs money, and having your friends help me move is a bother. We can do it ourselves]
Jeremy [I just want to do something for you]
Cornelia: [Youâve already helped a lot by letting your grandmother and my grandmother stay at Southern Summer Garden and arranging the best doctors and caregivers for my grandmother]
Jeremy: [As your husband, Iâm still far from caring enough for you]
This sentence was very ordinary, but it touched Corneliaâs heart again, making her feel the warmth and love of this world.
Even though many people were talking behind her back, and didnât want her to live well, there was a man who was always thinking about warming her up.
Cornelia wanted to tell him that his words were enough, but she was too shy to say so.
She replied to him: If I rely on you for everything, it wonât be long before I become a person who canât do anything. I donât want to become like that.]
Jeremy: [Thatâs not what I meant ]
Cornelia: I know you didnât mean it like that. But I think, even if weâre a couple, one side canât do nothing and rely on the other one. That kind of relationship wonât last. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, do you understand what I mean?]
Jeremy. I feel the same way]
In their conversation, the content seemed to gradually become romantic.
Cornelia quickly changed the subject: [Jeremy, donât bother Marcus to take care of me anymore. He already has a family. Itâs not right for him to always help me, a female employee, with personal matters.]
Jeremy: [Donât you like Marcus?]
Cornelia: [Heâs great and a good boss, but he and I are not the same kind of people]
Jeremy [Whyâs that?
