Chapter 591
Marcus had a super strong aura that scared the living daylights out of people wherever he went. He was so intimidating that no one dared to lie to his face.
How on earth did such a tough guy manage to break hearts with just a WhatsApp message?
Well, it could be her. She always had a soft spot, especially when it came to him being âJeremyâ.
Cornelia didnât want to hurt him: Jeremy, Iâm sorry I didnât mean it when I said I wanted a divorce. Just forget I ever said it ]
But Jeremy was hellbent on getting the answer he wanted [Do you still want me?]
Cornelia texted back quickly [Yes! Youâre the only one I want in this life. I donât want anyone else!
After sending the message. Cornelia dove under her covers, touching her burning cheeks. She must be blushing like crazy.
Then a new message beeped on her phone.
Cornelia opened WhatsApp again and saw Jeremyâs message: [For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, âtil death do us part]
Jeremy wasnât the best at sweet talk, so it was a big deal that he used this phrase to express his feelings.
Even though she couldnât see his face, Cornelia could imagine how serious he must be
She didnât text him back, instead, she hugged her phone close to her, right over her heart.
Even without love between them, Cornelia believed that as long as they worked together, they could still make their marriage work.
Cornelia spent three and a half days at Celestial Chateau. By the fourth day, Marcus was feeling much better and didnât need any more drips.
He preferred to be in his study during his drips. While he was on the drip. Cornelia would be reading in the same room. They didnât interact, but it felt cozy
So when Dr. Lester came in to remove Marcusâ needle, his shiny bald head seemed like a bright third wheel.
After removing the needle and tidying up the used drip. Dr. Lester shook Corneliaâs hand. âThank you so much for these three days!â
Without Cornelia, Dr. Lester was sure Marcus wouldnât have accepted the drip peacefully, let alone rested at home, so he considered Cornelia the hero of the day.
Marcus watched coldly as Dr. Lester shook Corneliaâs hand. âDr. Lester, you can leave nowâ
He had never even held Corneliaâs hand like that, so why the hell should this old man?
Dr. Lester was smart enough to get the warning in Marcusâ eyes.
He quickly let go of her hand. âThe next two weeks are crucial for Marcâs recovery. He needs your careful attention. Alcohol is a noâno, not even a drop.â
Cornelia nodded, âDonât worry, Dr. Lester. Iâll take good care of him.â
âHeâs in your hands then Dr. Lester said.
Cornelia gave an awkward smile, but didnât reply
After Dr. Lester left, Cornelia said to Marcus, âPresident Hartley itâs Grangerâs 60th birthday today. He is Cameronâs father. The Reese family has sent you an invitation. Are you planning to attend in person?â
Even though the Reese family was no longer as influential as the Hartley family, it was still one of the most prestigious families in Riverton, Cameron and Marcus were childhood friends after all.
By all accounts, Marcus should be attending this birthday party.
