Chapter 535
When Comelia saw the message, her heart sank. She texted back: [Whatâs bothering you?|
It took Jeremy a while before he replied: [Iâm afraid that my appearance and Identity will disappoint you Iâm scared Iâm not the husband of your dreams. Iâm also worried youâll leave me.]
âLeave meâ felt like a poisoned arrow piercing Corneliaâs heart, leaving her breathless
People often said, a happy childhood could heal a lifetime of pain, while an unhappy one took a lifetime to recover from. This phrase hit home for both Jeremy and
her.
Seeing Comeliaâs pale face, Zack and Abigail approached her, âWhatâs wrong?â
Comelia shook her head, Iâm fine.â
Zack cautiously asked, âIs there something going on with Jeremy?â
âReally, itâs nothing. Weâre just discussing meeting upâ Comelia took a deep breath, squared her emotions, and replied to Jeremy: [Jeremy, Iâm your wife. No matter what you look like, as long as you truly want to spend the rest of your life with me, accept you. I wonât let you down]
This time, Jeremy replied quickly: [You better keep your word, no take backs!]
Seeing his reaction, Corneliaâs heart ached even more She replied. I promise, no take backs]
Jeremy responded [You donât need to swear, I trust you.]
The conversation paused again.
After a momentâs thought, Comelia asked: [Itâs late, have you had dinner?]
Jeremy replied [Yeah]
Comelia asked What did you eat?]
Jeremy replied: [Pasta]
Comelia was at a loss for words. Did this man even know how to chat? She had been so proactive, why couldnât he say more?
If their meet up was like this, wouldnât it be painfully awkward?
Cornelia didnât respond. After a while, Jeremy messaged: [Why arenât you talking?]
Cornelia frowned. [Iâve been the one asking questions, donât you have something you want to tell me?]
Jeremy replied: [Yes]
Cornelia waited for him to speak, but he stayed silent. She asked [If you have something to say, why arenât you saying it?)
Jeremy replied. Iâm afraid Iâll annoy you if I talk too much.]
So, he was worried about the same thing as her,
Cornelia replied: [I wonât find you annoying, Iâm just scared you have nothing to talk aljout, that you donât want to share your life and work. Jeremy, Iâm also worried about the same stuff you are. Heck, Iâve even got other womnes, but itâs hard to explain over text. Letâs talk face to face when we meet up.]
At Corneliaâs message, Marcus coughed in excitement, replying: [Okay.]
Dr Dawson immediately supported him, âMarcus, youâve just woken up from unconsciousness, just out of danger. You need to rest. Can you please put the phone down? Whatever it is, it can wait until youâre better, or let Ben handle it.â
Im chatting with Cornelia.â Marcus had just regained consciousness. He was weak, but the first thing he did when he woke up was to grab his phone and open his chat with Cornelia.
He knew, Cornelia would be looking for him.
Corneliaâ
Always Cornelia!
